The valedictorian of Nghe An's 10th grade entrance exam is a student at Ha Huy Tap Secondary School.

In the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2018-2019 school year, the whole province had 33,690 students participating with three subjects: Math, Literature and a combined exam with three subjects: Foreign Language - Biology - Civic Education.

Initial results show that this year, the whole province has 68 candidates who scored 10 points in Math. The highest score in Literature is 9.75. In the combined test, there is only one candidate who scored 10 points, that is Nguyen Vuong Thuy Linh (student of Ly Nhat Quang Secondary School) who took the exam to enter Do Luong 1 High School.

In terms of total score, among the 10 candidates with the highest scores, 7 candidates took the exam to Huynh Thuc Khang High School. The remaining candidates took the exam to Co Do High School, Tan Ky High School and Quynh Luu 1 High School.

Commenting on the exam results this year at Huynh Thuc Khang High School, Mr. Cao Thanh Bao - Principal of the school said: This year, the entrance exam results are quite high (especially in Math). However, the Combined exam is lower than the Foreign Language scores of previous years. In terms of total score, it is expected to be quite high and currently the expected standard score is 41.9 points.

However, according to the school principal, this benchmark score will be lowered because many students will withdraw their applications to enroll in Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted and Vinh University High School for the Gifted. Last school year, after three times of lowering the benchmark score, the final benchmark score to enter the school was 37.65 points.

Currently, Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted and Vinh University High School for the Gifted have also announced their scores. However, the admission score to Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted is still based on the 10th grade entrance exam score, with Math, Literature and Foreign Language scores having a coefficient of 1, and specialized subject scores having a coefficient of 3.
