Starting from 2019, the 10th grade Literature exam in Ho Chi Minh City has been strongly renewed. The exam has only 3 questions corresponding to 3 parts: Reading comprehension (30%), Social commentary (30%), Literary commentary 40% (including 2 questions with choice 1).

Over the years, the Literature exam for grade 10 in Ho Chi Minh City has always been innovative. Every year, Ho Chi Minh City chooses a topic for the Literature exam for grade 10. In 2020, the exam system follows the theme of Listening (Listening to change, listening to love, listening to understand).

By 2022, the 10th grade Literature exam will have the theme: Message of Time, guiding candidates to profound thoughts.

In 2023, the exam will have the theme: “Letting thoughts come out in words”. The exam is considered a new direction. Differentiation is guaranteed to be consistent with the reality of public grade 10 admissions.

In 2024, the Literature exam with the theme Heartbeat is not just for me, it is considered close to the candidates, not puzzling but still has a certain differentiation.
