VTC News will continue to update information on the third exam subject for students in other localities for students and parents to refer to.
In previous school years, the 10th grade exam was given to local authorities to take the initiative, including the number of subjects. However, 2025 is the first year that students under the new general education program (2018 program) graduate. The Ministry of Education and Training believes that there needs to be consistency nationwide.
In the regulations on secondary and high school admissions from 2025 issued in early January 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training clearly stipulates that the entrance exam for grade 10 includes two compulsory subjects: Math, Literature and a third subject (or a combined test). This subject is selected by the Department of Education and Training from subjects assessed by scores, but no subject can be selected for more than three consecutive years.
Provinces and cities can announce the third exam after the end of the first semester but no later than March 31 every year. The content of the 10th grade entrance exam is included in the general secondary education program, mainly grade 9. The time for the Literature test is 120 minutes, Math is 90, the third subject is 60 or 90 minutes, the combined exam is 90 or 120 minutes.
For high schools under the Ministry of Education and Training, universities, colleges, and research institutes that organize their own entrance exams, the third exam subject or a combination exam of a number of remaining subjects will be selected by the Ministry of Education and Training, universities, colleges, and research institutes directly managed by them.
