The Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that the city's public 10th grade exam will include three subjects: Math, Literature and the third subject is Foreign Language.
Right after the Ministry of Education and Training issued the Circular on the Regulations on Middle School and High School Admissions, at noon on January 8, speaking to the press, Mr. Nguyen Bao Quoc, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, said that the City's public 10th grade exam will include 3 subjects: Math, Literature and the third subject is Foreign Language.
The exam is expected to be held in early June 2025. The structure, assessment requirements and thinking level competency table of the exam were announced by the Department in early October 2024. Of which, the Literature and Math subjects have a test time of 120 minutes, and Foreign Language is 90 minutes.
Specifically, to meet the requirements and assessment goals of subjects according to the 2018 General Education Program, this year's exam structure has been changed and adjusted accordingly. In particular, the Math subject has adjusted the number of practical problems; the Literature exam has changed its structure; the English exam has added new questions about writing phrases. The knowledge in the exam is in the junior high school program, mainly focusing on grades 8 and 9.
The Literature exam consists of two parts: Reading comprehension of literary texts and writing paragraphs (5 points, reading comprehension is worth 3 points and paragraph writing is worth 2 points); Reading comprehension of argumentative or informative texts and writing social argumentative essays (5 points, reading comprehension is worth 1 point and social argumentative essay is worth 4 points). Last year, the structure of the Literature exam consisted of three parts: Reading comprehension, Social argumentation and Literary argumentation.
For Math, the exam consists of 7 parts: Geometry and Measurement, Numbers and Algebra, Statistics and Probability. Compared to last year, the exam has reduced 1 question on practical problems; at the same time, a new practical problem type on probability and statistics has appeared.
The English exam consists of 4 parts with 40 questions. With the aim of assessing language proficiency, the exam not only tests students' knowledge of grammar and vocabulary but also their ability to understand and apply language in appropriate contexts.
Compared to previous years, the exam has 2 new questions about writing appropriate phrases based on given information. This question tests the ability to read dictionary notes to find linguistic information and apply knowledge.
Previously, on the morning of January 8, the Ministry of Education and Training issued a Circular on the Regulations on Secondary School Admissions and High School Admissions, applicable from 2025. The notable new point in this new Regulation is the general regulation with the entrance exam method including 3 subjects and the selection of the third subject (in addition to the two common subjects of Math and Literature) chosen by the locality (among the subjects assessed by scores); at the same time, ensuring that the same third subject is not selected for more than 3 consecutive years.
Previously, the public 10th grade entrance exam was proactively conducted by localities, deciding the number of subjects and choosing the subjects. 2025 is the first year that the 10th grade exam is organized according to the new General Education Program, so the new Regulations have many changes to meet the content of the new program. Many parents and students are looking forward to official information about the exam, especially the choice of the third subject in the entrance exam to focus on studying and reviewing.
