The event took place safely and in accordance with regulations.

The 2026-2027 Grade 10 Entrance Examination (hereinafter referred to as the Examination) in Dong Thap province, held on May 27th and 28th, 2026, concluded after safe, serious, and compliant examination sessions. With high levels of effort and determination, along with the support and encouragement of their families and teachers, over 43,400 candidates in the province successfully completed their exams.

CANDIDATES SHOW HIGH EFFORT AND DETERMINATION

This is a crucial exam, marking a transition in the academic journey of many 9th-grade students throughout the province. Recognizing its importance, each student is making a concerted effort and demonstrating determination to develop a thorough study plan to perform well on the exam, aiming to achieve their goal of being admitted to their desired high schools.

Director of the Department of Education and Training, Le Quang Tri, visited and encouraged the candidates.

After months of preparation, on May 27, 2026, more than 43,400 candidates from the province took the exam at 76 testing centers throughout the province, carrying with them the high expectations of themselves, their families, schools, and society.

Candidates will take three non-specialized subjects: Literature (essay format), English, and Mathematics (multiple-choice format). Candidates applying to specialized high schools will take an additional specialized subject exam on May 28, 2026.

Despite the tense moments in the examination room, the candidates did their best, remaining calm and confident to complete the exams successfully within the allotted time.

Observations at examination centers throughout the province show that after the exams, most candidates left the rooms in a cheerful mood. According to the candidates and their teachers, the exam questions were appropriately challenging; the questions had a scientific structure and reflected innovative thinking in assessing students' abilities in line with current guidelines.

Dr. Le Quang Tri, Director of the Department of Education and Training, said that analysis and evaluation of this year's exam showed that the exam was appropriate for students' abilities but still ensured high differentiation; excellent and very excellent students could achieve 9-10 points, good students could achieve 7-8 points, and average students could achieve 5-6 points.

After completing the three exams: Literature, English, and Mathematics, most candidates were in a cheerful and confident mood.

However, the exam also showed a relatively clear differentiation among candidates. Average candidates could score 5-6 points, and above-average candidates could score 7-8 points. Achieving a perfect score required candidates to study and prepare their knowledge thoroughly and meticulously.

Student Doan Ho Khanh Bang, class 9/16, Xuan Dieu Secondary School (My Tho ward), who took the exam at Nguyen Dinh Chieu High School, said: “I felt that the Literature exam had quite good materials, and the questions didn't focus on rote memorization, but mainly required applying knowledge and critical thinking to answer.”

In particular, the social commentary essay allowed me to express my personal opinion on the habit of procrastination.

Regarding the English and Math exams, the questions were manageable and not overly challenging; however, to achieve high scores, thorough preparation in terms of knowledge and critical thinking is necessary. I am confident of scoring 8 points or higher in each subject.”

Huynh Minh Quang, a student in class 9A7 at Cai Be Town Secondary School (Cai Be commune), who took the exam at Tien Giang Specialized High School (Trung An ward), said: “My dream is to get into the 10th grade specialized Chemistry class at Tien Giang Specialized High School, so I can have a better learning environment. Therefore, I tried my best in this exam.”

"Through the exam, I found the questions to be within my capabilities. However, the specialized subject exam also had some questions that required more critical thinking. I hope to achieve a high score to be admitted to Tien Giang Specialized High School."

Accompanying the candidates during the exam, many parents took the time to arrange their work schedules to bring their children to the exam site and sat outside waiting from the start of the exam until the end to encourage the candidates.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh, residing in Cho Gao commune, who accompanied her child to the exam at the Tran Hung Dao High School exam center (Dao Thanh ward), said: “During the exam days, I knew my child was quite nervous, so I went along to support and encourage her, hoping she would do well on the exam to achieve her dream of entering the 10th grade at Tran Hung Dao High School.”
