According to Mr. Ho Tan Minh, it is expected that around tomorrow evening, June 26, the mass 10th grade benchmark scores of 113 public high schools will be announced.

Thanh Nien Newspaper will update information on 10th grade benchmark scores at https://thanhnien.vn/giao-duc/tra-cuu-diem-lop-10.htm to serve readers' reference needs.

After 4:00 p.m. this afternoon, June 25, students admitted to grade 10 at specialized high schools, high schools that organize integrated English programs and direct admission will complete online admission confirmation. After that, the Department of Education and Training will consider the general grade 10 benchmark scores according to the 3 priority wishes to enter 113 public high schools.

This year's 10th grade entrance exam has seen a decrease of more than 22,000 candidates compared to previous years, while the exam was assessed as being easier, with the average score concentrated at 7 points, so experts predict that the benchmark score may increase but not significantly. The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training believes that based on the decrease in the number of candidates, the enrollment quota of public schools this year has increased, so the competition for 10th grade is lower than in previous years.

Based on a comparison of the score distribution of the 3 subjects this year with the score distribution of the 10th grade exam in 2024, teacher Tran Tuan Anh, Thu Duc High School (Thu Duc City), said that the score distribution of math in 2025 has a significantly higher number of scores from 6 and above. The score distribution of literature in 2025 is concentrated in the range of 5 - 8 points, similar to last year. The score distribution of English in 2025 is concentrated in the range of 5.75 - 8.25 points, with scores from 9 and above much lower than in 2024.

From the above analysis and comparisons, along with this year's decrease in the number of candidates by about 22,000 compared to last year, Mr. Tuan Anh predicts that the benchmark scores of some top and bottom schools may increase slightly due to a significant increase in math scores. The middle schools will decrease their benchmark scores due to the high number of quotas.
