C00 block bumper

This year, Block C has a bumper crop of valedictorians, with 19 students having the same score: 10 points in History, Geography and 9.75 points in Literature. Meanwhile, in Literature, the whole country only has 2 candidates achieving 10 points.

This year, block C subjects also received a "rain" of 10 points when the number of 10 points in Geography increased more than 90 times (in 2023 there were only 35 10 points, this year there were 3,175 10 points), the number of 10 points in History increased nearly 3 times (from 789 10 points in 2023 to 2,108 10 points).

According to the score distribution analysis of the Ministry of Education and Training , due to the high score of the Social Science combination, the high percentage of excellent scores in Literature and Geography, and low below average scores, experts predict that the standard score for university admission in block C00 this year will continue to be high.

Dr. Le Thi Thuy Vinh (Faculty of Literature - Hanoi National University of Education 2) predicted that for exam groups with Literature, the benchmark score will increase slightly from 0.5 to 1 point, because this year's Literature exam is quite suitable for candidates, without many surprising factors. "For top schools, the benchmark score for groups C and D will be 0.5 to 1 point higher than last year. For good schools, the score will be equal or not much higher than last year, fluctuating around 1 point. For lower-ranked schools, I think the benchmark score will remain the same. For schools in the Pedagogical sector, the score for groups C and D will still be as high as or higher than last year, expected to be around 8 - 8.5 points/subject for candidates to have a chance of being admitted" - Ms. Vinh said.

Also predicting that the 2024 university admission scores will be high, especially for top schools, MSc. Nguyen Thi Xuan Dung - Director of the Communication Center, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, said that currently, universities reserve few quotas for admission based on high school graduation exam scores. Based on the score distribution of each subject, it is predicted that the admission scores of the schools will be stable, not fluctuating much compared to last year, if there is any fluctuation, it will only be within a very small range, depending on the allocation of quotas according to the admission method of the schools.

Expectations of change from 2025

The Ministry of Education and Training said that in general, the score distribution of high school graduation exams in 2024 remains stable and similar to the score distribution in 2023 and previous years. The average and median scores of exams nationwide remain stable and similar to those in 2023.

Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Quang - Chairman of Thai Nguyen University Council assessed that looking at the analyzed score spectrum, the good news is that the convergence has been seen, reflecting that high school education has been valued and there is no large deviation. This proves that in the process of organizing teaching in localities, teachers have paid attention to the fundamental foundation of high school education, creating a solid foundation for students to enter life and creating opportunities for them to continue participating in post-secondaryeducation .

Emphasizing that teaching and learning according to the new 2018 general education program needs to aim at the goal of making general education a foundation to help students enter life, whether participating in production or studying after high school, with a certain level of certainty, adapting well to changes in the current environment, Mr. Quang affirmed that this exam, although to end a program, opens a new trend, students can access post-high school education with certainty.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Duc Son - Principal of Hanoi National University of Education assessed that this year's exam preparation was relatively even and that new exam preparation technologies were gradually being introduced. "The score distribution this year is quite good. That shows that the exam results are quite stable compared to previous exams, and that result reflects the quality of teaching in general education" - Mr. Son emphasized.
