The 10th grade entrance exam for the 2025-2026 school year in Ho Chi Minh City has ended after candidates completed three subjects: math, literature, and English. More than 76,000 candidates will be waiting for the results.
According to the plan of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, the exam marking will take place from June 8 to 26. This is an important stage, requiring accuracy and seriousness to ensure fairness for all candidates.
After completing the marking, the Department will summarize the marking work and compare the test results to review and cross-check to ensure there are no errors.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that the exam results, admission scores to public high schools and the time for reviewing the exam will be announced in a separate document. The specific announcement time will be based on the progress of the exam marking and the actual processing of the results.
Last year, the exam also took place on the same day, June 6-7. Nearly 2 weeks later, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training announced the exam scores on June 19. The benchmark scores for grade 10 to enter high schools were announced on July 3.
To ensure information reaches parents and students as quickly and accurately as possible, localities and secondary schools in the area are responsible for monitoring and updating notifications from the Department of Education and Training.
At the same time, these units will promptly disseminate changes, organize guidance, support and answer questions for parents and students about the latest information related to the exam.
Candidates and parents should regularly follow official information channels from the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City and secondary schools, and on Dan Tri newspaper to not miss important updates on exam scores, benchmark scores and review schedules.

The competition ratio is calculated based on the initial published data and may change after adjusting preferences (Chart: Huyen Nguyen).
The 2025 10th grade entrance exam in Ho Chi Minh City is predicted to be the "easiest" in many years as the number of candidates decreases and the admission rate increases.
The 2025 10th grade entrance exam has 76,435 candidates registered. Meanwhile, the total target is 70,070 students, achieving an admission rate of about 92%.
Thus, there are only more than 6,000 candidates who failed to pass the public school entrance exam, a sharp decrease compared to the level of about 20,000 candidates in previous years. Meanwhile, the private school system has nearly 19,500 places.
According to the Department of Education and Training, the number of 9th grade students has decreased significantly compared to previous years, which means less competitive pressure to enter public 10th grade.
This is also evident in the sharp decrease in the initial competition ratio for admission to schools. This year, in the non-specialized high school sector, Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School has the highest competition ratio in the city when calculated in total (both integrated and regular classes) at 1/2.9.
If we only count the regular class, the competition ratio of this school is 1/3.14. This is also the highest and only competition ratio reaching 3.0 or higher. Another notable point is that the competition ratio of leading schools such as Nguyen Thuong Hien High School, Gia Dinh has decreased sharply, "falling out" of the top 10 for the first time.
On the other hand, 44 schools have a competition ratio of less than 1, meaning that the number of candidates applying is less than the quota. If applying to these schools, candidates have a higher chance of being admitted.
