The High School Graduation Exam Regulations stipulate that in an exam, each subject has an official exam and a reserve exam.

The test must be accurate, scientific and pedagogical, and the language and sentences must be clear. The test must closely follow the requirements of the General Education Program, ensuring the classification of candidates.

Essay tests must clearly state the score for each question, and scores for each subject are calculated on a 10-point scale. Each test has an answer key, and essay tests have additional marking instructions.

The test will clearly state how many pages it has (for tests with 2 pages or more) and the word "END" will be clearly stated at the end of the test.

The exam regulations also clearly state that exam questions and answers that have not been made public are classified as "Top Secret" state secrets and specify a protection period.

The exam regulations also clearly state that exam questions and answers that have not been made public are classified as "Top Secret" state secrets and stipulate the time limit for protecting exam questions.

Specifically, for essay exams, the period of protecting the exam at the top secret level only ends when two-thirds (2/3) of the exam time has passed; for multiple-choice exams, it only ends when the exam time has passed;

Unused reserve exam papers are automatically declassified at the end of the final exam session.

Before the exam, the Minister of Education and Training decided to establish the Council for creating exam questions for the high school graduation exam and issued specific regulations for the exam question creation work, including: Confidentiality requirements for exam question creation work; working principles; tasks and powers; exam question creation process.

The members of the Examination Council will include: leaders of the Department of Quality Management, leaders of a number of relevant units under the Ministry of Education and Training, leaders of higher education institutions/Departments of Education and Training; examiners and reviewers of examination questions...

After the exam papers are available, the exam printing and copying committee works in a centralized manner according to the principle of complete isolation from the beginning of the organization of unsealing the original exam paper bags or from the beginning of decoding the exam papers until the end of the last exam session of the exam.

Those who have entered the first round of the exam paper printing area must be completely isolated until the end of the final exam session. In special cases, the President of the examination council decides to allow members of the exam paper printing committee to leave the isolation area and arrange a plan to ensure absolute confidentiality of the exam papers.

Equipment damaged during the exam printing process may only be removed from the exam printing area at the end of the final exam session.

Before the exam, candidates need to grasp the regulations and clearly understand the exam rules, including the exam questions and the candidates' responsibilities to avoid unfortunate violations.

In previous high school graduation exams, despite much publicity, five candidates secretly used their phones in the exam room and tried to leak exam questions. They were discovered and punished according to the law.
