As reported, on August 18, universities nationwide continued to announce benchmark scores for the high school graduation exam.

Statistics show that this year's benchmark scores have fluctuated a lot, especially for majors that recruit the combination of literature - history - location, the benchmark is extremely high, far surpassing majors that recruit math - physics - chemistry.

In many fields, candidates who scored 9.6 points in each subject still failed their registration.

Horrible, why?

That was the general reaction of most readers. Not only were they surprised, many readers also questioned why this abnormality occurred and wanted answers from those responsible.

"I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I'm more sad because the scores don't reflect the quality of training" - reader Thanh expressed.

Readers of tvt account shared: Generation 5x, 6x who studied high school with 10/10 system, took university entrance exams according to groups A, B, C, D all have the same assessment that the quality of university entrance exam scores now is not as good as before. Therefore, failing with three 9s is normal, nothing surprising.

"Many people don't know whether to be happy or sad. I think I'm both happy and sad" - tvt account wrote.

According to many readers, the high entrance score is a good sign, but if according to the standards of Hanoi National University of Education, the admission score for the two majors of literature and history education is up to 29.3, it is very unusual.

This means that candidates must score 9,767 points to pass.

"The reason for "9 points still failed" is also due to "achievement disease" - reader Pham Duc expressed.

"It's terrifying to fail even with 9 points in each subject," reader Nguyen Van Thanh expressed. "In my opinion, the current admission policy is flawed and needs to be corrected soon."

Sharing the same thought, some readers said that this is very unusual and needs to be reviewed because in previous years, the benchmark scores for the literature, history, and geography pedagogy groups, although higher than the natural science pedagogy group, were not too different.

Reader with account 5 Mi Lat analyzed: The score to enter university depends on the difficulty of the high school graduation exam. If the difficulty of the exam is high, the score to enter university will be low. At this time, many parents will complain that the exam is too difficult.

If the difficulty of the test is low, the university entrance score will be high. At this time, parents and candidates will also complain. "So how can we satisfy candidates and their parents?".

"Statistics show that this year's benchmark scores have fluctuated a lot", which is normal. Because the difficulty level of the high school graduation exam is different every year, it does not stay the same. On the other hand, the competition rate is getting higher as the enrollment quota at universities remains unchanged but the number of applicants has increased significantly" - reader account 5 Mi Lat continued to write.

The education sector must screen input.

While waiting for the answer from those responsible for this year's failure in the pedagogy industry with a 9-point literature combination, reader Song La suggested: "I hope theeducation industry should review the entrance exam method. The people who created the exam questions themselves may not have gotten such high scores, so why do they demand such unreasonable things from candidates?"

"Study to gain knowledge, study to become a human being, but demand to be comprehensive, if everyone was like that, they would all have become professors and doctors" - a reader wrote.

From another perspective, reader Bui Bao Son strongly supports the input of the education sector to be carefully screened because "for the benefit of cultivating people for hundreds of years".

Adding a compromise solution, reader Tom Tom analyzed: "I think the evaluation policy has a problem. Only by distributing scores in a bell-shaped combination can candidates be classified. Those who get the maximum score but actually have unequal knowledge, or in other words, 10 is not equal to 10."

"A teacher teaches many classes, and has a long teaching career, so let the best people enter the teaching profession. Only then can education be revived and the value of respecting teachers be preserved" - this reader analyzed.

Sharing the same opinion, reader Minh kute wrote: "The high standard score of the pedagogical industry is good news for the education sector. Only when the teacher is good will the students be good."

I don't see anything to worry about. Simply the high competition rate and the attraction of the industry make the benchmark increase. Candidates with high scores still fail, which means there is someone else with higher scores.

The problem is how to advise candidates to choose the right career that suits their abilities and desired field, don't be too delusional.
