Preventing late arrivals

In localities with complex terrain, the exam steering committee supports candidates with accommodation near the exam area to minimize risks arising when traveling on the road. Some localities have rapid response teams ready to pick up candidates who oversleep or wake up late to the exam site.

However, candidates need to be proactive to avoid being late for the exam or needing help from others. Based on experience from many exam seasons, in the final exam session, many homeroom teachers have paid close attention to the time. Accordingly, a few days before the exam, candidates should go to bed before 10 pm and wake up earlier than usual to get used to the appropriate time frame for taking the exam.

Many candidates did not do it on purpose, but because they did not know the rules, they thought that if their phones were turned off or had run out of battery, they could bring them in. Some candidates simply forgot to leave them outside before entering the exam area.

When filling in, candidates must fill in the entire box and fill in the blank. If they choose another option, they must use an eraser to completely erase the box they just filled in.
