Also yesterday, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training announced the benchmark scores for specialized schools and integrated English programs. Accordingly, about 2,000 candidates were admitted to these programs.
INCREASE AND DECREASE BY SCHOOL TOP
Teacher Tran Tuan Anh, Thu Duc High School (Thu Duc City), said that based on the score distribution chart of the 10th grade math exam, it shows that most students have scores between 5 and 8. The number of scores below 5 no longer exceeds 50% as in previous years. The peak of the score distribution falls between 6.5 and 7.5. Of which, the score of 7 is the most common, showing the popularity of good scores. The number of students with scores above 9 is relatively small, the number of students with scores of 10 is 36. The number of students with scores from 0.25 to below 5 is gradually increasing, shown by the increasing score column from left to right.
In addition, according to the math teacher of Thu Duc High School, this year's math questions were assessed as being suitable for the program and ensuring differentiation, so on the two outermost sides of the chart, the number of students decreased sharply (from 0 to 1.5 points and from 8.5 to 10 points). This shows that the exam was not too easy for many students to get 10 points, but it was not too difficult for many students to drop to failing scores.
The chart is skewed to the right, the median score is likely to be slightly higher than the average score, meaning there is a small group of students with very low scores that pull the average score down.

However, the peak of the score spectrum falls between 6.5 - 7.5, showing that the test is suitable for the first candidates taking the exam according to the 2018 General Education Program. And because the test still ensures good differentiation, the number of scores from 8 - 10 is not much.
In addition, compared with the 10th grade exam score distribution in 2024, Mr. Tran Tuan Anh said that this year's math score distribution has a significantly higher number of scores from 6 and above. The literature score distribution in 2025 is concentrated in the range of 5 - 8 points, similar to last year. The English score distribution in 2025 is concentrated in the range of 5.75 - 8.25 points. The score from 9 and above is much lower than in 2024.
From the above analysis and comparison, along with this year's admission conditions such as the number of candidates taking the exam decreased by about 22,000 students compared to last year, Mr. Tuan Anh predicts that the benchmark scores of some top and bottom schools may increase slightly due to a significant increase in math scores. The middle schools will decrease their benchmark scores due to the high number of quotas.
INCREASE BUT NOT SUDDENLY
Similarly, teacher Dang Hoang Du, who teaches math in Go Vap District (HCMC), said that this year's 10th grade exam has better differentiation than in 2024. Specifically, the math exam generally has a score range of 6.25 - 8.25, a significant increase compared to last year. The score range for English and literature is similar to last year, so it is predicted that the bottom-ranked schools may have the same standard score as last year and the top-ranked schools may have an increase but not a sudden increase.
Although the average scores for the 10th grade exam this year have all increased, according to the announcement of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training yesterday, the benchmark scores for specialized 10th graders have mostly decreased, for example, the IT-specialized 10th grade score of Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted has decreased by nearly 5 points. A high school principal said that the benchmark scores for specialized 10th graders have decreased because this year's specialized subject exam questions were assessed by teachers to be more difficult than last year.
Mr. Ho Tan Minh, Chief of Office of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, informed that candidates admitted to grade 10 at specialized high schools, high schools that organize integrated English programs and direct admission should use their accounts to access the website ts10.hcm.edu.vn to confirm online admission from June 23 to before 4:00 p.m. on June 25. After that time, if candidates do not submit their admission application, the school will remove their names from the admission list. According to regulations, after students admitted to specialized and integrated classes complete their admission confirmation, the Department of Education and Training's grade 10 exam score software will perform technical operations to consider the standard scores for grade 10 according to the 3 priority wishes for grade 10 admission at 113 public high schools.
On June 26, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City will announce the general 10th grade benchmark scores. Thanh Nien Newspaper will update information about the 10th grade benchmark scores as soon as possible at thanhnien.vn.
