According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, to be considered for high school graduation recognition, candidates must take 4 subjects, including 3 compulsory subjects: Math , Literature , Foreign Language and one subject of the candidate's choice from the remaining subjects. At the same time, to be considered for high school graduation recognition and university and college admission, candidates must take the 4 prescribed subjects above and register to take additional subjects suitable for the combination of subjects for admission consideration as prescribed by the university or college.

In Hanoi, through the initial synthesis of registration records of candidates for the 2015 National High School Exam, it is shown that candidates are rushing to register for the Physics and Chemistry exams to match the subject combinations of universities in groups A and A1.

Similarly, at Dinh Tien Hoang High School, according to teacher Tung Lam, Physics is also the most chosen subject by candidates, accounting for 60%, followed by Geography at 20%, and History is only registered by a few students.

In contrast to Hanoi, in Dien Bien province, according to initial statistics from the Dien Bien Department of Education and Training, social subjects are chosen by more students than natural subjects. Specifically: up to 3,962 candidates registered for the Geography exam (over 63%); 3,262 candidates chose to take the History exam (over 52%). Meanwhile, the number of registrations for Physics was less than 20% with 1,076 candidates; Chemistry was less than 30% with 1,813 candidates and Biology was 1,632 candidates registered (about 26%).

Commenting on the situation where few students choose History to take the exam, Historian Duong Trung Quoc said: “After the 2015 national high school exam , the teaching and learning of History needs to change fundamentally towards a more approachable and experiential approach. In addition, in order for young people and especially students to love History, the whole society also needs to have an objective view and full awareness of this subject; History should not be considered just a secondary subject, a supplementary subject for other social knowledge, and an optional exam subject. Because in reality, History has a great impact on people's lives and moral qualities.
