VnExpress's university search page provides resources for prospective students, including historical data on benchmark scores by major and university, as well as tuition fees. The system also suggests relevant majors and universities based on the student's scores in each subject combination.
Teachers assessed the math, physics, and chemistry exams this year as having good differentiation. The math exam was notably more challenging than last year's, with lengthier practical questions requiring strong reading comprehension and mathematical skills to solve within the 90-minute time limit. The physics and chemistry exams had similar structure and difficulty to the sample tests released by the Ministry of Education and Training, suitable for both graduation assessment and university admission.
