The ministry of education and training announced on the evening of 14/7 that it will release the score distribution for the 2025 high school graduation exam tomorrow afternoon. Individual exam scores will still be released at 8 a.m. on 16/7. Students can check their scores on VnExpress at: https://diemthi.vnexpress.net.
This is unprecedented. In previous years, the ministry released the score distribution for all graduation exam subjects and traditional university admission combinations on the same day that individual scores were announced. The score distribution serves as a reference for students before they submit their university applications.
The high school graduation exam took place on 26-27/6 with over 1.16 million students participating. Nearly 1.14 million students took the exam under the new general education program (2018), and over 26,700 followed the old program (2006).
Students under the new program took two compulsory subjects: Vietnamese literature and math, along with two elective subjects chosen from: chemistry, physics, biology, history, geography, economics and law education, computer science, agricultural technology, industrial technology, and foreign languages (7 languages).
Students under the old program took Vietnamese literature, math, a foreign language, and an elective subject in either natural sciences (chemistry, physics, biology) or social sciences (history, geography, civic education).
