The entrance exam for grade 10 of public high schools in Hanoi is known as a stressful, pressured exam with a very high competition rate.

Previously, when studying the 2006 General Education Program, Hanoi organized the 10th grade entrance exam with 4 subjects, of which 3 subjects: math, literature, foreign language were fixed and the fourth exam subject was fixed in March every year. This was to ensure the school's education program and students had enough basic knowledge of all subjects before entering high school.

In recent years, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and many opinions from parents and teachers, Hanoi organized a 10th grade entrance exam with 3 subjects: literature, math, and foreign language.

From the 10th grade exam in 2025, there will be the first batch of students graduating from junior high school according to the 2018 General Education program, so the number of subjects, format and structure of the exam are currently unknown to students, parents and schools.

Recently, in the official dispatch guiding the implementation of tasks for the 2024-2025 school year for secondary schools, the Ministry of Education and Training requested units to strengthen the construction of question banks and test matrices according to the requirements of the subject program; prepare 9th grade students to get acquainted with the orientation of the entrance exam for grade 10.

For the literature subject, the Ministry requires that the exam will not use materials such as texts and excerpts learned in textbooks to overcome the situation of guessing questions and sample texts.

Normally, the 10th grade public high school exam in Hanoi takes place in the first half of June every year.
