Hanoi announces public 10th grade benchmark scores: Scores increase in many schools

After the 10th grade entrance exam ended, many teachers commented that this year's exam was easier than last year's, and the benchmark score was expected to increase compared to last year. As expected, the benchmark scores of high schools this year increased compared to last year, with some schools increasing by 2-3 points.

The high schools with the highest 10th grade benchmark scores in 2023 in Hanoi are not surprising and are mostly names that have been predicted in advance.

Accordingly, public high schools with standard scores for grade 10 in 2023 are in the top group with an average score of more than 8 points/subject and are still familiar schools such as: Chu Van An High School, Kim Lien High School, Le Quy Don High School - Ha Dong, Viet Duc High School - Hoan Kiem, Phan Dinh Phung High School, Yen Hoa High School, Tran Phu High School - Hoan Kiem, Nguyen Gia Thieu High School, Cau Giay High School, Nhan Chinh High School, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School...

However, the rankings among schools have changed slightly. Chu Van An High School is still leading, Kim Lien High School is ranked 2nd; Viet Duc High School - Hoan Kiem is ranked 3rd, Yen Hoa High School is ranked 6th. Phan Dinh Phung High School, Tran Phu High School, Le Quy Don High School - Ha Dong... maintain quite stable benchmark scores. There are 2 schools with the same score (41.75 points) which are Tran Phu High School - Hoan Kiem and Nguyen Gia Thieu High School; 4 schools with 41 points (Nhan Chinh High School, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School and Le Quy Don High School - Dong Da, Thang Long High School).

Some newly opened schools have high competition rates such as Khuong Ha Primary - Secondary - High School with a benchmark score of 37.5. My Dinh High School is a new school with a benchmark score that has increased compared to two years ago with 40 points.

Hanoi Department of Education and Training notes: Admission scores announced by the Department of Education and Training are the sole basis for determining admission scores; schools are not allowed to set any other scores or conditions for admission.

In the 2023-2024 Hanoi public high school entrance exam, each student can register for a maximum of 3 public high schools, ranked in order of preference (NV): NV1, NV2 and NV3.

Students who fail NV1 can be considered for NV2 but must have an admission score (DXT) that is at least 1 point higher than the school's NV1 admission standard. Students who fail NV1 and NV2 can be considered for NV3 but must have an admission score that is at least 2 points higher than the school's NV1 admission standard.

Previously, at noon on July 1, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training announced the admission scores for specialized 10th grade classes. The Chinese class of Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted had the highest score, 43.3 points. The class with the lowest admission score was the Chemistry class of Son Tay High School, with only 23.7 points.

This year, 116,000 candidates in Hanoi took the 10th grade high school entrance exam for the 2023-2024 school year, of which nearly 60% will pass the public school entrance exam, while the rest will have to "turn" to another direction. Therefore, the 10th grade entrance exam in Hanoi always puts great pressure on candidates and their parents. Many candidates and parents, for fear of failing NV1 at good schools, only dare to register for "lighter" schools, but then regret it because they have too many points.

According to the representative of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, the exam had a very large number of candidates, however, the unit was determined and quickly completed the work of marking, combining scores, announcing test scores, and benchmark scores earlier than expected so that parents and candidates would know. The Hanoi Department of Education and Training announced the exam scores early, and at the same time announced the benchmark scores for schools one day later, which was very well received by parents. Because this is a "brain-teasing" exam for candidates and parents, waiting for scores for candidates and parents in Hanoi in the past few days has been very stressful.

According to the plan, by July 5 at the latest, candidates will receive the 10th grade admission results notice, and will complete the admission procedures until July 7. This is a mandatory procedure for all admitted students who wish to enroll. Students can enroll online or in person. From July 10, schools that have not yet recruited enough students can consider additional enrollment, calling for admission from July 11 to 14.

In the entrance exam to grade 10 in Hanoi, candidates must take three exams: Math, Literature and Foreign Language. To be considered for admission, candidates must complete all exams, not violate regulations, and not receive a score of 0 in any exam. The admission score is the sum of the three subjects, in which Math and Literature are multiplied by a factor of two.

This year, Phuong Khai Minh, class 9A11, Nghia Tan Secondary School, Cau Giay District, was the valedictorian of the 10th grade exam in Hanoi, scoring 49/50 points, including 9.5 points in Literature; 10 points in Math and English.
