HCM City: Candidates taking the entrance exam for specialized 10th graders can only register a maximum of 5 wishes, instead of 7 as before, according to the plan of the Department of Education and Training.
Explaining this adjustment, a representative of the Department said on January 5 that from the 2024-2025 school year, Ho Chi Minh City will stop enrolling in non-specialized classes in specialized schools according to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training . Therefore, the Department will adjust the number and method of registration to suit the reality.
Specifically, candidates taking the 10th grade exam this year can still register up to three wishes to public high schools that teach the general program (regular wishes). Admission is based on the order of registration of wishes of students, in which the standard score of wish 2 is not lower than wish 1, wish 3 is not lower than wish 2.
Candidates who want to take the exam for specialized schools will be able to register for two more choices, instead of four as before. In the first choice for specialized schools, candidates can register for Le Hong Phong and Tran Dai Nghia specialized high schools. In the second choice for specialized schools, in addition to these two schools, candidates can register for specialized classes at four other schools including: Nguyen Huu Huan, Nguyen Thuong Hien, Mac Dinh Chi and Gia Dinh high schools.
If taking the integrated 10th grade entrance exam, in addition to the three regular choices, candidates have two more integrated choices. Candidates who register for the specialized exam will not be allowed to take the integrated exam and vice versa.
Thus, a candidate can register up to 5 wishes.

This year, Ho Chi Minh City continues to allow students to register their 10th grade entrance exam preferences online. The Department advises students to choose schools near their residence to avoid being admitted but not enrolling because their home is far away. Students are not allowed to change their preferences after the adjustment period and after the admission results are announced.
The 2024 public 10th grade entrance exam in Ho Chi Minh City is expected to take place in early June with three compulsory subjects. Of which, Math and Literature last 120 minutes, Foreign Language 90 minutes. Candidates for specialized and integrated 10th grade exams will take an additional specialized and integrated exam with a duration of 150 minutes. The Department of Education and Training said the exam structure is similar to every year, emphasizing the candidates' ability to solve practical problems.
From January to April, the Department will conduct admission counseling for grade 10 students at their current school, with the participation of public and non-public high schools, Department specialists, and psychological consultants.
In addition, the Department has changed the entire process of considering public 10th grade entrance exam applications to avoid the situation where many schools do not have enough enrollment quotas, while some candidates with high scores fail all their applications. The specific plan will be announced later.
