The 10th grade entrance exam in Hanoi takes place over 2 days, June 7-8, 2025.
Candidates will take the Literature exam in the morning of 7.6, the test time is 120 minutes. The children were called in the exam room at 7:15, doing homework from 8 o'clock. According to the new program, for the first time the exam will not use materials in textbooks, students can no longer guess the topic or study cabinets ..
This year's 10th grade entrance exam has some important changes, in which the new highlight is the way to calculate admission scores. In previous years, admission scores were calculated according to the formula: Math and Literature score coefficient 2, Foreign language score coefficient 1.
According to the new regulations of this year, admission scores will be calculated by the total score of three subjects, on a scale of 10, not multiplied by coefficient. This is a technical change, but it has a great impact on the assessment of exam results as well as the classification of students.

The new calculation method makes the general score expected to be lower than previous years, because the maximum score is only 30 instead of 50 as before. This poses challenges for the admission work, especially in ensuring fairness, transparency and objectivity.
The official Literature exam, reference answers will be updated by Lao Dong right after the end of the exam time.
