On the evening of July 22, the University of Foreign Languages (Vietnam National University , Hanoi ) announced the floor scores for full-time undergraduate training programs in 2025 based on high school graduation scores.
This score applies to candidates in region 3 with a minimum score (not including foreign language coefficient, not including bonus points, including regional and subject priority points if any) for all admission combinations of 3 subjects/exams (regardless of admission combination).

The above input quality assurance threshold applies to all admission methods to the University of Foreign Languages after the admission scores are converted to a 30-point scale.
The minimum scores for majors to enter the school this year have decreased sharply. In 2024, the minimum score for entering the school was from 20 to 21 points, but this year it has decreased to between 15 and 19 points, with many majors having a minimum score of up to 5 points.
According to this school's forecast, the benchmark score this year may decrease by 1.5 to 2 points, compared to 2024. For some majors such as English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, etc., the decrease may be higher.
In 2024, candidates must achieve an average of about 9.7 points per subject to be admitted to the English and Chinese pedagogy majors. However, this year, the benchmark score is expected to be only 23-25 points.
According to the school representative, this year the number of candidates taking the foreign language exam was only nearly 353,000, about one-third of previous years because this is an elective subject. The average score was also lower than in 2024, with only 141 students scoring 10 points, a four-fold decrease; the average score was 5.38, a decrease of 0.13.
More than 134,000/351,848 candidates took the exam with a score below 5. The number of candidates with a score of 7 or higher in English was only more than 15%, a decrease of more than 10% compared to 2024.
This year, the University of Foreign Languages uses 42 admission combinations, of which 6 combinations include math and English, including D15 (literature, geography, English), D14 (literature, history, English), D07 (math, chemistry, English), D01 (math, literature, English), D08 (math, biology, English), A01 (math, physics, English).
The English test in this year's graduation exam is said to be more difficult than previous years and may cause difficulties for candidates in applying to schools.

According to many experts, this year's English score range is beautiful, but beautiful in the sense of classifying candidates - meaning that this result is only suitable for university admission purposes, not graduation exam purposes.
This score range is only good on paper but not good in reality when students using this subject for university admission will have to compete with at least 4 groups such as the group applying for group A or C, the IELTS conversion group, the group using other foreign language test results (higher scores) and the group taking last year's English test.
