Many candidates with 27-28 points may still fail the high school graduation exam.

According to regulations, candidates who receive failing grades (1 or below) will not be eligible for high school graduation , even if they achieve very high scores in their subject combinations and are qualified for admission to any university.

However, there are many cases where candidates achieve very high combined scores but score only 1 point or less in some subjects.

For example, in Group A, there were two cases of candidates from Hanoi who scored 27.3 and 27.35 points respectively, but only received 0 and 1 point in Biology. Similarly, in Nghe An, one candidate scored 26.45 points but only received 1 point in Biology.

In the A1 group, there was a case where a candidate in Ho Chi Minh City achieved 27.1 points but scored 0 points in Biology.

In Group B, there was a case of a candidate in Ho Chi Minh City who scored 26.7 points but only received 1 point in Physics. Additionally, there was a candidate in Hai Phong who scored 26.65 points but only received 1 point in Physics; and a candidate in Thanh Hoa who scored 26.4 points but only received 0.25 points in Physics.

In Group C, many candidates achieved scores of 27.25 – 28.75 but received a score of 0 in either Foreign Language or Civic Education .

These candidates may be independent candidates who graduated in previous years and only took some of the component subjects in the combined exam for university or college admission. Alternatively, they may be exempt from the Foreign Language exam (in cases where the candidate scored 0 in Foreign Language) and therefore did not take the exam. If none of these cases apply, even with high scores, the candidate will still fail the graduation exam.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, there were 585 failing grades (scores of 1 or below) in the 2024 high school graduation exam nationwide. The subject with the highest number of failing grades was English, followed by Geography.

According to the plan, the process of recognizing high school graduation in 2024 will be completed no later than July 19th.

Candidates can submit appeals for exam results from July 17th to 26th. By July 23rd at the latest, high schools will issue temporary graduation certificates and print and send exam results certificates to candidates.

From July 18th to 5 PM on July 30th, candidates can register, adjust, and supplement their application preferences an unlimited number of times. From July 22nd to 5 PM on July 31st, candidates eligible for direct admission must confirm their enrollment on the system (if applicable).

From July 31st to 5 PM on August 6th, candidates must pay the application fee online according to the number of their application preferences, following the instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Before 5 PM on August 19th, training institutions will announce the candidates admitted in the first round, and before 5 PM on August 27th, candidates must confirm their online enrollment for the first round on the system.

Across the country, 162 candidates received a score of 0 in the 2024 high school graduation exam.

According to the analysis of high school graduation exam scores announced this morning by the Ministry of Education and Training, in the 2024 high school graduation exam, 162 candidates nationwide received a score of 0.
