Ho Chi Minh City's 10th grade examination, involving approximately 151,000 candidates, concluded on 2/6. The Department of Education and Training stated that grading would occur between 3-9/6, with scores expected to be announced after 12/6.
Many teachers and principals predict 10th grade benchmark scores will increase by 0.25-2 points this year.
In recent years, Nguyen Thuong Hien High School has consistently led in benchmark scores, ranging from 23.5-25.5. Other schools in the top 10 typically require above 22 points, including Nguyen Huu Huan, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Phu Nhuan, Mac Dinh Chi, Le Quy Don, Nguyen Huu Cau, and Tran Phu High Schools.
In the Binh Duong area, schools in Thuan An, Di An, Thu Dau Mot, and the former Tan Uyen districts have higher admission scores than the general average, with most requiring above 15 points.
Conversely, in Ba Ria - Vung Tau, a group of schools consistently maintains benchmark scores of 5-7 points per subject: Vung Tau, Dinh Tien Hoang, Tran Nguyen Han, Nguyen Hue, Nguyen Khuyen, and Xuyen Moc High Schools. In contrast, quite a few schools require less than three points per subject, such as Duong Bach Mai, Tran Van Quan, Ngo Quyen, Tran Phu, Nguyen Van Cu, and Phu My High Schools.
