Key Facts: THPT French Exam

The THPT French paper has 40 multiple-choice questions answered in 50 minutes, each worth 0.25 points (Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo).

From 2025 the graduation exam was cut to four subjects, making Foreign Language including French an elective rather than compulsory (Decision 4068/QĐ-BGDĐT).

The French paper is fully multiple-choice with no essay, unlike the Literature paper which is written by hand (MOET 2025 format).

Foreign-language papers use only the multiple-choice format, not the true/false or short-answer subtypes used in other subjects (MOET).

The exam targets CEFR A2–B1 and draws content mainly from the grade 10 and grade 11 curriculum (MOET illustrative paper, 2024).

Each French question scores 0.25 points for a maximum of 10, and a correct answer is one option chosen from four (MOET).

The reform follows the 2018 General Education Programme and Circular 24/2024/TT-BGDĐT governing the graduation exam (MOET).

The high school graduation examination is State-organised and free, with no separate subject fee for candidates (Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo).

A State-run, free, paper-based French paper of 40 multiple-choice questions in 50 minutes (0.25 points each, out of 10); since 2025 French is an elective testing A2–B1 reading and grammar.

Sample THPT French Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the THPT French exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choisissez le mot ou l'expression qui complète correctement la phrase : « Hier soir, nous ______ au cinéma avec nos amis. »
A.avons allé
B.allons
C.sommes allés
D.irons
Explanation: « Aller » is a verb of motion conjugated in the passé composé with the auxiliary « être », so it agrees with the subject: « nous sommes allés ». The marker « Hier soir » signals a completed past action.
2Complétez : « Elle a acheté une robe ______ elle aime beaucoup la couleur. »
A.que
B.qui
C.où
D.dont
Explanation: The relative clause means « elle aime beaucoup la couleur de la robe ». Because the verb « aimer la couleur DE quelque chose » involves « de », the correct relative pronoun is « dont ».
3Choisissez l'antonyme du mot souligné : « Ce film est très ennuyeux. »
A.passionnant
B.long
C.triste
D.cher
Explanation: « Ennuyeux » means boring, so its antonym is « passionnant » (exciting, fascinating). Vocabulary at the A2–B1 level often tests common adjective opposites.
4Complétez : « Si j'avais plus de temps, je ______ une langue étrangère. »
A.apprendrai
B.apprendrais
C.apprends
D.ai appris
Explanation: In a hypothetical sentence with « si » + imparfait (« si j'avais »), the main clause uses the conditionnel présent: « j'apprendrais ». This is the second type of conditional (irreal in the present).
5Choisissez l'article correct : « J'aime beaucoup ______ musique classique. »
A.une
B.de la
C.la
D.des
Explanation: After verbs of preference such as « aimer », French uses the definite article to express a general liking: « la musique classique ». Here « musique » is feminine singular, so « la » is correct.
6Complétez : « Il faut que tu ______ tes devoirs avant de sortir. »
A.fais
B.feras
C.faire
D.fasses
Explanation: The expression « il faut que » requires the subjonctif. The subjonctif présent of « faire » for « tu » is « fasses », so « il faut que tu fasses » is correct.
7Choisissez le pronom qui remplace les mots soulignés : « Je donne le livre à Marie. » → « Je ______ donne le livre. »
A.lui
B.la
C.le
D.leur
Explanation: « à Marie » is an indirect object (a person introduced by « à »), so it is replaced by the indirect object pronoun « lui » (singular, for both genders): « Je lui donne le livre. »
8Complétez : « Ce sont les plus beaux paysages ______ j'aie jamais vus. »
A.qui
B.que
C.dont
D.lesquels
Explanation: « paysages » is the direct object of « j'aie vus », so the relative pronoun « que » is required. Its use also explains the agreement of the past participle « vus » (placed before the verb).
9Choisissez la bonne préposition : « Nous partons ______ France la semaine prochaine. »
A.à
B.au
C.en
D.dans
Explanation: For feminine countries (and those beginning with a vowel), French uses « en » to express destination: « en France ». « France » is a feminine country.
10Complétez : « Quand j'étais petit, je ______ tous les jours dans le jardin. »
A.ai joué
B.jouerai
C.joue
D.jouais
Explanation: A repeated, habitual action in the past is expressed with the imparfait. « Quand j'étais petit » and « tous les jours » both signal a habit, so « je jouais » is correct.

About the THPT French Exam

The Kỳ thi tốt nghiệp THPT French paper is the foreign-language option for French within Vietnam's national high school graduation examination, run by the Ministry of Education and Training. Under the 2025 reform (Decision 4068/QĐ-BGDĐT and Circular 24/2024/TT-BGDĐT, following the 2018 General Education Programme), the exam shrank to four subjects — Mathematics and Literature compulsory plus two electives — and Foreign Language, including French, became an elective rather than a compulsory subject. The French paper is now 40 multiple-choice questions in 50 minutes, each worth 0.25 points for a maximum of 10.

This bank contains 100 self-contained practice questions modelled on that format.

THPT French: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill the core verb system — présent, passé composé vs imparfait, futur, conditionnel and the subjonctif after triggers like il faut que, bien que and avant que — since grammar is the largest part of the paper.
2Master relative pronouns (qui, que, dont, où, lequel) and choose them by the verb's construction (parler de → dont, monter dans → dans lequel).
3Practise the 2025 task types specifically: reading notices and flyers for times, prices and conditions, and ordering scrambled letters and dialogues.
4Build A2–B1 vocabulary in lexical fields (school, environment, transport, social media) and learn synonyms, antonyms and logical connectors (donc, car, cependant, à cause de, grâce à).
5Train past-participle agreement: with être (subject agreement), with avoir (preceding direct object) and with reflexive verbs (se laver les mains stays invariable).
6Time yourself at roughly 75 seconds per question to match the 40-question, 50-minute paper, and skim long passages first for the main idea before answering detail questions.
7Revise the three si-clause patterns (si + présent → futur; si + imparfait → conditionnel présent; si + plus-que-parfait → conditionnel passé), a recurring exam point.
