After 10 days of attending Tran Phu Specialized High School as a supplementary admission, Pham Huy Hung and his family were stunned to learn he'd lost his place.
14 high schools set their 10th-grade admission scores at 10.5 across three subjects, averaging 3.5 points per subject, the highest number in the past four years.
Math scores improve, while literature remains static, leading to a potential 0.5-1.5 point increase in high school entrance exam scores, according to several teachers.
