This year, Ho Chi Minh City will enroll 1,995 specialized students in 6 schools. This is also the last year the city will enroll specialized students in 4 general high schools. From the 2025-2026 school year, specialized classes will only be available in specialized schools.

To be admitted to specialized or integrated grade 10, students still have to take three general exams including Math, Literature, and Foreign Language. The admission score is the total score of these three exams, plus the score of the specialized or integrated subject multiplied by two, the total is 50.

The new point is that candidates taking the 10th grade specialized exam can register for a maximum of 3 wishes instead of 2 as before. The wishes are arranged in order of priority. Candidates who are admitted to a wish must study in that class and cannot change.

For English-specialized classes, candidates have two options. One is the traditional English-specialized class, candidates take the English-specialized exam as in previous years. The other is the English-specialized class according to project 5695 (also known as the English-Math-Science class). This class was first organized at Le Hong Phong and Tran Dai Nghia High Schools for the Gifted, candidates take the English exam along with Math and Natural Science in English.

The 2024 entrance exam for public grade 10 in Ho Chi Minh City will take place on June 6-7. Candidates will take the Math and Literature exams for 120 minutes each, Foreign Language for 90 minutes, and specialized or integrated subjects for 150 minutes.
