Schools that combine high school transcripts with IELTS mainly use the scores of 3 years of high school and require an IELTS score of 5.0 or higher, such as the University of Electricity, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, and Vietnam Women's Academy.

Meanwhile, the Diplomatic Academy considers candidates with IELTS from 6.0 or higher; Foreign Trade University and the Academy of Journalism and Communication require a minimum IELTS of 6.5.

From 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training will abolish the early admission method. Thus, the admission method based on high school transcripts combined with IELTS will also be considered at the same time as other methods, that is, after candidates know their high school graduation exam scores.
