Failing scores for the 2025 high school graduation exam: The "death threshold" candidates must overcome

Pursuant to Article 45 of the Regulations on High School Graduation Exams issued together with Circular 24/2024/TT-BGDDT on recognition of high school graduation, it is stipulated that: "Candidates who are eligible to take the exam, are not subject to disciplinary action to cancel their exam results, all exam subjects achieve above 1 point on a 10-point scale and have a graduation score of 5 points or higher will be recognized as high school graduates".
