It is expected that this year's score will be the same as last year, in which majors such as Medicine and Dentistry will still maintain a very high admission score. Biology and Chemistry are optional subjects in the 2025 high school graduation exam with a total of candidates choosing lower than last year. Biology scores in 2025: average score of only 5.78, down 0.5 points compared to 2024. Nearly 32.4% of candidates below 5 points is nearly 3 times higher than last year. The rate of achieving 7 points or more also decreased sharply, to 25%. Although the score increased by 10 points (82 compared to 34).
In addition to the method of considering high school graduation exam scores, most schools are currently implementing many admission channels such as direct admission, priority, considering competency assessment test scores, thinking, or transcripts combined with conditions. These methods are helping schools proactively supplement enrollment sources, reducing pressure on graduation exams.
