Officers, supervisors, inspectors and security forces assigned to work at the Tran Bien High School exam site were also present quite early, guiding candidates where to park their vehicles and leave their personal belongings so that they could smoothly enter the first exam session.

During the night and morning of May 29, Bien Hoa City had heavy rain, making it difficult for students and parents to travel to some exam locations. Some exam councils had a large number of candidates, so there was congestion in front of the school gates. Parents had to spend more time taking their children to the exam locations.

Present at the Tran Bien High School Examination Council quite early, Nguyen Trong Phuc said: “My first wish is to enter Tran Bien High School, one of the schools with very high admission scores every year. Therefore, during the past time, I have tried to review and do many different types of sample tests. I know this is a very difficult exam, but I will be determined to complete each test well.”

The entrance exam for grade 10 high school for the 2025-2026 school year will take place on May 29 and 30, with three subjects: Math, English (tested on May 29) and Literature (tested on the morning of May 30). Candidates must pass all three subjects to be considered for admission to grade 10. Candidates wishing to take the exam for specialized classes at Luong The Vinh High School for the Gifted will have to take an additional exam for a corresponding specialized subject, with a test time of 150 minutes on the afternoon of May 30.

For the 2025-2026 school year 10th grade entrance exam, the province has 14 exam clusters, divided into 34 exam councils located in 10 localities. Cam My district is the only locality without any exam sites, because all 3 public high schools in the district select students instead of taking exams. Of the more than 21,400 candidates registered for the exam in the whole province, Bien Hoa city has more than 12,600 candidates (accounting for nearly 60% of the total number of candidates in the whole province).

According to information from the Departmentof Education and Training, during the two days of the exam, the Department will send working groups to inspect and supervise the exam organization at all exam councils to ensure that the exam takes place safely, seriously, fairly and in accordance with regulations.
