The waiting period for benchmark scores can be a source of anxiety for many candidates. According to admissions experts, the most important thing is for students to stay calm and proactively seek information through official channels. A lot of inaccurate information about benchmark scores can appear on social networks, causing unnecessary confusion.

Candidates need to know that, according to regulations, universities will announce the benchmark scores before 5:00 p.m. on August 22. Candidates need to access the official websites of universities or the Ministry of Education and Training 's Information Portal to look up the most accurate information. During these days, review your registered wishes and prepare yourself for all results. If the results are not as expected, you need to have a backup plan such as additional admission or other majors.

After the benchmark scores are announced, the first and most important thing that successful candidates must do is confirm their admission online on the Ministry of Education and Training system. This is a mandatory step to maintain their chances of admission. According to regulations, candidates must complete this before 5:00 p.m. on August 30. After this deadline, if candidates do not confirm, it is considered that they have rejected their opportunity.

It is worth noting that, according to admissions experts, candidates can only confirm admission to the only school they want to study. After confirmation, they will not be able to apply to other schools (except in some special cases). Therefore, confirmation should be considered carefully to avoid regrets.

After confirming online admission, candidates need to proactively prepare documents and fees as required by each school. Early preparation will help students save time and avoid being passive when completing admission procedures. Proactively visit the website of the university you are admitted to to see the detailed list of documents.

Some basic documents usually include: Admission notice (original), high school transcript and diploma (notarized copy), Citizen ID card (notarized copy), birth certificate and priority documents (if any). At the same time, clearly understand the fees that need to be paid such as tuition for the first semester, admission fee, health insurance fee... to have careful financial preparation.

Understanding and preparing this information in advance not only helps candidates feel more confident, but also ensures the admission process goes smoothly, opening up a new and promising journey.

As of July 28 - the deadline for registration on the Ministry of Education and Training's system, 849,544 candidates had registered for admission in 2025, accounting for 73.23%. Thus, more than 310,400 candidates did not register for university and college admission in 2025.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, the total number of applications for university and college admission in 2025 is 7,615,560. Accordingly, each candidate registers an average of about 9 applications.

Mr. Nguyen Tien Thao, Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), affirmed: The Ministry's admission support system ensures that each candidate only passes the highest registered wish. If that wish is not passed, the system will consider the next wish.

A notable new feature of the 2025 university and college admissions is that there will no longer be an early admission process. All applications, whether based on high school graduation exam scores or a combination of both, will be processed simultaneously on the system. This is why experts and educators always remind candidates to pay special attention to the order of their applications, as this directly affects their chances of admission.

Experts still recommend that candidates closely monitor information from the Ministry of Education and Training and schools throughout the virtual filtering period. Although the system does not allow changes to preferences at this time, understanding the process will help candidates avoid misunderstandings or unnecessary worries.

After completing the virtual filtering process, candidates need to carefully check their personal information, major, benchmark scores and admission requirements; complete admission confirmation on the system on time; regularly monitor notifications from the school about admission schedules and required documents.

After the first round, from September 1, schools will launch a supplementary admission round, lasting until the end of December 2025. However, only candidates who have not confirmed their admission will be able to participate in these rounds. If confirmed, candidates will not be able to withdraw for further admission, unless the school approves their withdrawal for special reasons.

Experts warn that many candidates, after being admitted, find that their major is not suitable, but do not anticipate that they will not be considered for additional study. Therefore, they should consider carefully before confirming their admission.
