Ms. Tran Thi Minh Hai, Vice Principal of Dich Vong Hau Secondary School (Cau Giay District) advises candidates 6 things when registering for grade 10 to increase their chances of passing.

First, understand your own abilities: You should base on your test scores, 9th grade academic performance, and 3-year secondary school study results to have a clear direction.

Second, carefully study the criteria and benchmark scores of previous years . Each school has different benchmark scores and “competition” rates. Refer to the benchmark scores of the last 2-3 years for consideration. If the school you choose usually has high benchmark scores, carefully calculate your next wish.

Third, arrange your wishes strategically . For wish 1, choose a school that suits your ability (not too much, not too easy); For wish 2, choose a school with a standard score at least 1-2 points lower than wish 1; For wish 3, choose a safe school with a standard score much lower than wish 1, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Fourth, avoid choosing a school just because it is "following friends" or close to home . Put suitability and the ability to pass first.

Fifth, additional advice from homeroom teachers, subject teachers , especially Math - Literature - English teachers can give students objective assessments. In addition, parents will also support from an experiential and practical perspective.

Sixth, take the initiative to review and keep your mind steady. No matter which school you choose, the most important thing is to try your best in the upcoming exam. Don't let the pressure of your wishes make you worry too much, be confident and calm.

Ms. To Thi Hai Yen, Principal of Giang Vo Secondary School (Hanoi) advised candidates to base their application on their academic performance through tests that have been stable over a long period of time. That is, not only based on this year's final and mid-term tests, but also the 8th grade 2 semester scores and mock tests, added and divided by the average, that data shows stability to apply.

Candidates should also consider the margin of breakthrough from the time of registering for the green application (application form) to the time of taking the exam. This is not too long but enough for students with the right learning method, determination and effort to have a breakthrough. Next, candidates must know how to use their first choice "effectively", not allowed to waste. For example, if your ability is 7 points but only registers for a 5-point school, it is a waste, however, do not be too subjective, for example, if your ability is 5 points but registers for a 7-point school, it will be easy to fail.

According to Ms. Yen, students only need to try their best and overcome their own limits to succeed, and should not feel pressured to pass public exams.

She believes that entering grade 10 is the gateway to a new stage, candidates should focus on this stage, prepare good physical strength, clear mind, determination and prepare their post-enrollment mentality so as not to let themselves be disappointed or desperate. As long as they participate with the highest effort and are most responsible for the exam, they will have succeeded for themselves.

This year's exam takes place on June 7-8. On June 9, candidates registering for the exam at 4 specialized high schools will take the exam in specialized subjects.

This year, Hanoi still divides high schools into 12 enrollment areas. Candidates with permanent residence in any enrollment area will register their wishes according to the corresponding regulations.

Each candidate has a maximum of 3 wishes to enter 3 non-specialized high schools in order of wish 1, wish 2 and wish 3.

When filling out the application form, candidates can fill in all 3 wishes or only fill in 1 wish.

If the candidate fills in all 3 wishes, wishes 1 and 2 must be in the same admission area according to regulations. Wish 3 can be in any admission area.

If candidates fill in 2 wishes, wish 1 must be in the prescribed recruitment area, wish 2 must be in any recruitment area.

If candidates only fill in one wish, they can register for any high school in Hanoi. After submitting the application form, candidates cannot change their wishes.
