Vietnam's 2026 High School Exams Conclude; Teachers Predict Higher Scores in Math, English

More than 1.2 million students across Vietnam concluded their high school graduation exams on June 12, 2026, after completing their chosen subject tests. The examination period, which began earlier in the week, has now wrapped up, leaving students to await their results, which the Ministry of Education and Training plans to announce on July 1. Teachers are anticipating a rise in scores for Mathematics and English this year, contrasting with the challenges students faced in 2025. For mathematics, educators suggest the exam structure and difficulty are similar to the previous year, but students are better prepared for real-world application problems. Predictions place average math scores between 6-6.5, with a notable increase from 2025's average of 4.78, where a majority of students scored below average. Similarly, English exam scores are expected to improve, with average scores potentially rising to 5.5-6 from 5.38 in 2025, and more students achieving perfect scores. However, the Literature exam faces uncertainty, with some teachers predicting a drop in scores from last year's average of 7, possibly due to controversial questions, potentially lowering the average to around 5.5-6.

The math exam this year is similar in structure and difficulty to the 2025 exam. Students are better acquainted with the question format, especially real-world problems, which makes them less overwhelmed.
