How high is the Literature score distribution for the 2025 high school graduation exam?
The 2025 High School Literature exam is considered to be within reach, not too difficult, with a familiar structure and the ability to classify candidates. The expected score range is from 6.5 to 8 points.
This year's high school graduation exam in Literature is still in essay format, lasting 120 minutes. However, the exam has changed in terms of score distribution, specifically including 2 parts: Reading Comprehension (4 points) and Writing (6 points).
The special thing this year is that the test materials will be outside the textbook. This is to assess students' ability to read, understand and perceive texts in real-life situations, avoiding rote learning or mechanical memorization. The test materials may include passages, poems, or situations related to current events and social life.
This year's exam was highly appreciated for its relevance to current events, especially the topic of merging provinces and cities, evoking thoughts about the homeland and the responsibilities of young people.
Ms. Trinh Thu Tuyet, a teacher at Luong The Vinh Secondary and High School in Hanoi, commented that the exam was innovated in the direction of developing capacity, closely following the 2018 general education program, creating excitement and challenges for candidates.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son, a teacher in Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City, said that the exam questions are topical, structured from easy to difficult, similar to the sample questions of the Ministry of Education. The argumentative question about hometown in the context of merging provinces and cities is considered a highlight, touching the emotions of students. He predicted that the average score for Literature would range from 6-7.
Master Nguyen Phuoc Bao Khoi, lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, emphasized that the exam questions reflect life, connecting the past and present, and differentiate students' abilities well. The reading comprehension material is taken from short stories by Nguyen Minh Chau, while the social discussion section requires deep thinking, but students can do well if they take advantage of the reading comprehension questions.
Mr. Khoi predicted the score range from 6-6.5, while Ms. Nguyen Thi Quynh Anh, Tuyensinh247 Center, was more optimistic with 7.5.
Teachers agree that the exam not only tests knowledge but also encourages creative thinking, in line with the spirit of educational innovation.
