Literature score distribution in 2025

This year, more than 1.16 million candidates took the graduation exam. Of these, nearly 98% of candidates took the exam under the 2018 GeneralEducation Program; the remaining 2% took the exam under the 2006 General Education Program.

Candidates studying the 2018 program will take 4 subjects, including 2 compulsory subjects: Math, Literature and 2 elective subjects from the following subjects: Foreign Language, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Economic Education & Law, Information Technology, Technology.

Candidates for the 2006 program take three compulsory subjects: Math, Literature, Foreign Language and a combined exam in Natural Sciences or Social Sciences.

Master Nguyen Phuoc Bao Khoi, lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, believes that the 2025 high school graduation exam in Literature is imbued with the breath of life, closely linked to the current situation of the country, both awakening the sense of respect for the past and evoking a sense of responsibility for the changes of the nation.

Moreover, the exam ensures good orientation for developing qualities and abilities of the 2018 Literature program, with high differentiation ability. The Reading Comprehension section has a text excerpt from a short story by Nguyen Minh Chau, a prominent writer with a philosophical narrative style. The section on writing a literary argument is a subtle "escape route" that the test maker supports students with. The social argument section is not easy to identify the central and extended arguments, but if students stick to the content of the text and make good use of the answers to the reading comprehension questions, they will easily "pass the test".
