About 45% of 10th grade math tests scored below average

Ho Chi Minh City Grade 10 exam marking is almost complete, recording about 45% of math exams with a score below 5.

An official from the HCM City Department of Education and Training said on June 17 that the 10th grade exam marking will end this afternoon. Preliminary records from the marking councils show that the scores for Math and Literature have not changed much compared to last year. In English alone, the number of exams scoring 10 has increased slightly. The number of excellent exams (8 or higher) for this subject is also the highest among the three basic subjects.

According to this person, the average score for Math is concentrated at 5-7, with not many candidates scoring 8 or higher. Similar to last year, about 45% of Math tests had below average scores, mostly from 2.5 to under 5 points, with few candidates scoring 1 point.

In Literature, the Department staff said that the highest score recorded so far is 9.25 but not many, commonly there are scores of 6 and 7. The examiners also noted that many students chose the wrong argumentative genre in question 3 of topic 1. The essays that chose the wrong genre, even though they were well-written and close to the topic, were only scored a maximum of 1.5/4 points.
