1选出下列词语中带点字“觉”读音不同的一项 (Choose the word in which the character 觉 is pronounced differently from the others):
A.午觉 (wǔjiào)
B.感觉 (gǎnjué)
C.觉得 (juéde)
D.睡觉 (shuìjiào)
Explanation: 觉 is a multi-pronunciation character (多音字). In 感觉, 觉得 and the noun 午觉/睡觉 it appears, but 觉 is read jiào (4th tone) only when it means 'sleep' as in 睡觉. The trick is that 感觉 and 觉得 use jué, while 睡觉 uses jiào. Here three options use jué meaning 'to feel/sense' or are the same reading, so the odd one is the jiào reading.
2下列拼音与汉字搭配正确的一项是 (Choose the option where the pinyin correctly matches the Chinese characters):
A.学校 — xuéxiào
B.学校 — xiéxiào
C.学校 — xuéxiáo
D.学校 — xuéjiào
Explanation: 学校 means 'school'. 学 is pronounced xué (2nd tone) and 校 here is pronounced xiào (4th tone). Therefore the correct pinyin is xuéxiào. The other options change either an initial, a final, or a tone, producing incorrect readings.
3选出声调全部正确的一项 (Choose the option in which ALL the tones are correct):
A.朋友 péngyǒu
B.朋友 péngyou
C.朋友 pèngyou
D.朋友 péngyóu
Explanation: 朋友 means 'friend'. 朋 is péng (2nd tone) and 友 is originally yǒu (3rd tone) but in the disyllabic word 朋友 the second syllable is read in the neutral tone: péngyou. This neutral-tone reading is the standard pronunciation taught for this common word.
4“我每天______起床。” 选出最合适的词语填空 (Choose the most suitable word to fill the blank in: 'I get up ______ every day'):
A.很大
B.很多
C.很早
D.很长
Explanation: The sentence describes when one gets up. 很早 means 'very early', which logically modifies the action 起床 (get up). 'I get up very early every day' is the correct, meaningful sentence.
5选出与“高兴”意思最接近的词 (Choose the word closest in meaning to 高兴 'happy'):
A.难过
B.生气
C.害怕
D.快乐
Explanation: 高兴 means 'happy/glad'. 快乐 also means 'happy/joyful', so it is the closest synonym. The other options express negative emotions and are antonyms or unrelated.
6选出与“便宜”意思相反的词 (Choose the word OPPOSITE in meaning to 便宜 'cheap'):
A.
B.
C.
D.
Explanation: 便宜 means 'cheap/inexpensive'. Its antonym is 贵 'expensive'. The pair 便宜/贵 is one of the most common antonym pairs taught about price.
7“这本书______那本书更有意思。” 选出正确的词语 (Choose the correct word: 'This book is ______ that book, more interesting'):
A.
B.
C.
D.
Explanation: The structure 'A 比 B + 更/还 + adjective' is the comparative construction. 这本书比那本书更有意思 means 'This book is even more interesting than that book.' 比 introduces the comparison.
8“他汉语说得______。” 选出最合适的补语 (Choose the most suitable complement: 'He speaks Chinese ______'):
A.很流利的
B.流利地
C.很流利
D.的流利
Explanation: After the structural particle 得 in a degree complement (得+adjective), an adjective phrase such as 很流利 ('very fluently') is used. 他汉语说得很流利 means 'He speaks Chinese very fluently.' The complement after 得 takes the bare adjective form, not 的 or 地.
9“我学习汉语______两年了。” 选出正确的词 (Choose the correct word: 'I have been studying Chinese ______ two years'):
A.正在
B.刚才
C.马上
D.已经
Explanation: 已经…了 expresses that an action/state has already reached a certain point. 我学习汉语已经两年了 means 'I have already been studying Chinese for two years.' 已经 matches the completed-duration meaning signaled by 了.
10“桌子______有一本书。” 选出正确的方位词 (Choose the correct location word: 'There is a book ______ the table'):
A.
B.
C.
D.
Explanation: 桌子上 means 'on (top of) the table', so 桌子上有一本书 means 'There is a book on the table.' The locative 上 indicates the surface, which is where a book naturally lies.

About the THPT Chinese Exam

Tiếng Trung (Chinese) is one of the seven foreign languages a Vietnamese student may choose for the THPT graduation exam, alongside English, Russian, French, German, Japanese and Korean. From the 2025 session, under the 2018 General Education Program (Decisions 4068 and 764/QĐ-BGDĐT), the exam was cut to four subjects — compulsory Mathematics and Literature plus two electives — and the foreign language became an ELECTIVE rather than a compulsory subject. The Chinese paper is a 50-minute paper-based test of 40 four-option multiple-choice questions, with no essay, True/False or short-answer parts. Following a competency-oriented design, it tests phonetics and pinyin, vocabulary and grammar, communicative function, cloze passages, sentence rewriting and ordering, and reading comprehension at roughly HSK 4-5, mostly on grade 10-11 content. Scores are reported on a 10-point scale and combined with the three-year GPA to decide graduation.

THPT Chinese Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill the core grammar contrasts the paper repeats: the comparative 比, the 把 and 被 constructions, and the three particles 的 (attributive), 地 (adverbial) and 得 (complement).
2Memorize high-frequency connective pairs — 因为…所以…, 虽然…但是…, 如果…就…, 不但…而且…, 只有…才…, 无论…都… — because both cloze and sentence-equivalence items test them.
3Build measure-word accuracy (本 for books, 个 general, 张 for flat things, 遍 for read-throughs); missing or wrong measure words are a classic error-identification trap.
4Practise reading short passages and notices under time pressure: with 40 questions in 50 minutes you have barely over a minute per item, so scan for the specific detail asked.
5Review pinyin systematically — tones, the neutral tone, multi-pronunciation characters like 觉 (jué / jiào), homophones, and retroflex (zh/ch/sh/r) versus flat (z/c/s) initials.
6Learn the standard sentence order (Subject + time + place 在… + verb + object) so sentence-ordering items become automatic.
7Work through MOET's official đề minh họa and recent real papers (mã đề), checking your answers against the published answer key to learn the question style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on the THPT Chinese exam and how long is it?

The Chinese (Tiếng Trung) paper has 40 four-option multiple-choice questions to be completed in 50 minutes on paper. The foreign-language papers use only this multiple-choice format — there is no essay, True/False or short-answer section.

Is Chinese compulsory in the THPT graduation exam?

No. From the 2025 session, under the 2018 General Education Program, the exam has four subjects: compulsory Mathematics and Literature plus two electives. Foreign Language — including Chinese — is now one of the elective options, no longer compulsory.

What other foreign languages can a student choose instead of Chinese?

MOET offers seven foreign languages for the THPT exam: English, Russian, French, Chinese, German, Japanese and Korean. A student selects one of these (or another elective) as part of the two-subject elective block.

How is the Chinese exam scored and what counts as passing?

Each subject is reported on a 10-point scale. There is no fixed per-subject pass mark; graduation is decided by the điểm xét tốt nghiệp formula (50% exam scores plus 50% three-year GPA) recognised at 5.0 or above, provided no subject scores at or below the 1.0 điểm liệt threshold.

What level of Chinese does the exam test?

The paper is built mostly on grade 10-11 vocabulary and grammar and is widely described as close to HSK 4-5. Questions cover phonetics/pinyin, vocabulary and grammar, communicative function, cloze passages, sentence rewriting/ordering and reading comprehension.

Is there a fee to sit the THPT Chinese exam?

The exam is state-funded and free for enrolled grade-12 students. Free candidates (thí sinh tự do) pay only a small registration fee set by their provincial Department of Education and Training; there is no separate per-subject exam fee.

Where can I find an official sample paper?

MOET publishes a competency-based reference paper (đề minh họa / đề tham khảo) with an answer key for each subject, including Chinese, several months before the June exam so students and teachers can prepare.
