Students who achieve an IELTS score of 4.0 will receive bonus points and be admitted directly to grade 10.

Many localities add 1-2 priority points or grant direct admission to public high schools for candidates with an IELTS score of 4.0 or equivalent.

The People's Committee of Tuyen Quang province approved the plan for this year's 10th grade entrance exam at the end of January, which will consist of three subjects: Mathematics, Literature, and English.

Candidates with an IELTS certificate of 5.0 or higher will be admitted directly. Specifically, with an IELTS 5.0 or equivalent, candidates will be admitted directly to non-specialized public high schools.

For ethnic boarding schools and specialized English classes at Tuyen Quang High School for the Gifted, the required IELTS scores are 6.0 and 7.0 respectively. If a candidate only achieves 5.0, they will receive 1-2 bonus points, depending on the school.

Meanwhile, Lao Cai province exempts students from the English exam and awards 10 points for admission to public high schools if they have an IELTS score of 4.0 or higher.

If students enroll in a specialized class and achieve an IELTS score of 5.5-6.5, their certificate score will be converted to a specialized subject score using the formula: IELTS score * 10/7. If they achieve an IELTS score of 7.0 or higher, they will receive 10 points for the specialized subject.

Many other provinces exempt candidates with IELTS certificates from the English exam and convert their scores accordingly.

In Quang Tri , if a candidate achieves an IELTS score of 4.0 or higher, it is converted to 9 points in this subject for the entrance exam to public high schools, applicable to both specialized and non-specialized schools. The conversion threshold for IELTS scores of 4.5 and 5.0 is 9.5 and 10 points, respectively.

Besides IELTS, Quang Tri province also accepts many other certificates such as TOEFL iNT, TOEIC, VSTEP, Aptis Esol... The conversion table is as follows:

This is the third consecutive year that Quang Tri province has exempted students with IELTS scores from the English exam. In the two previous years, the province applied this admission method, but with a higher point value: achieving an IELTS score of 4.0 was equivalent to a perfect 10.

The situation in Binh Duong is similar. If a candidate has an IELTS certificate with a score between 4.0 and 5.0, they receive 1 point. A score above 5.0 in IELTS earns them 10 points for English and exempts them from the exam. The conversion thresholds for other certificates are as follows:

Without conversion or direct admission, Vinh Long province adds 2 points to candidates who achieve an IELTS score of 4.0 or higher or equivalent, applicable to other foreign language certificates such as Russian, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese.

International language certificates, particularly IELTS, have become increasingly popular in university admissions from high school to university in recent years.

Nghe An was the first locality to offer direct admission to 10th grade for students with IELTS scores, starting in 2021. Last year, to be admitted to Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted in this province, students had to achieve a minimum score of 7.0, while other schools required scores ranging from 6.0 to 6.5. Phu Tho also offered direct admission, but only to general schools, requiring a minimum IELTS score of 6.5. These two provinces have not yet announced their 10th grade admission plans this year.

In Hanoi, the IELTS certificate admission method is applied by many prestigious private high schools such as Archimedes Academy, Nguyen Sieu, Le Quy Don, Luong The Vinh, Doan Thi Diem, etc.
