Speaking with reporters, Professor Hoang Anh Tuan, Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Vietnam National University, Hanoi), said that, based on general observation, the score distribution for the 2021 high school graduation exams did not differ significantly from 2020: the average and median scores fluctuated slightly up and down across subjects.
Given that the 2021 enrollment targets for universities haven't changed significantly, and the exam scores remain fairly stable compared to 2021, there won't be major fluctuations in the minimum and cut-off scores for this year's admissions, although top-tier majors might see a slight increase of around 1-2 points.
For traditional subject combinations in blocks C and D, the minimum admission scores and cut-off scores for universities are expected to remain largely unchanged, with any changes likely to occur in the D subject combinations.
Looking at the average scores of the subjects making up the C and D subject combinations: While Literature and History saw a slight decrease of 0.1-0.2 points, Geography increased slightly by 0.2 points; Mathematics decreased slightly by 0.1 points, while English experienced a more dramatic increase, with the average score rising by 1.2 points.
Based on that analysis, Mr. Tuan stated that, for the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the minimum and standard admission scores for the 31 programs in 2021 will essentially be the same as the score distribution in 2020, especially since the enrollment quotas and the number of applications for these programs in 2021 are basically no different from the previous year.
Therefore, candidates can refer to the minimum and standard admission scores of the University in 2020 to determine appropriate goals for themselves. Regarding subject combinations related to foreign languages, in recent years, the number of candidates using foreign language-related combinations to apply to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has been increasing. Therefore, this year, it is hoped that many candidates with good foreign language skills will apply, especially to high-quality training programs that require students to study approximately 20-30% of their coursework in a foreign language.
According to Mr. Tuan, this year, students born in 2003 faced many difficulties in their final two years of high school (mostly online learning). However, the exam results show that students have a relatively solid foundation of knowledge, and the differentiation in scores is quite clear. This serves as both a basis for graduation assessment and a basis for university and college admissions.
The cutoff score depends heavily on the adjustments made by candidates to their preferences.
Regarding the score distribution for the A00 (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry), A01 (Mathematics, Physics, English), and B00 (Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology) subject combinations, Associate Professor Dr. Vu Hoang Linh, Rector of the University of Science (Vietnam National University, Hanoi), stated that 2021 was characterized by a slightly higher number of high school graduation exam candidates compared to the previous two years. According to the score distribution published by the Ministry of Education and Training, compared to the corresponding distribution in 2020, the score distribution for the three subject combinations this year shows some minor changes.
Specifically, for the A00 group, the peak (the total score with the most candidates) is 23 points, similar to 2020. Although the average score decreased compared to 2020, the number of candidates achieving scores between 17 and 25 points was higher than in 2020.
A similar observation holds true for the score distribution of the B00 group, with a peak at 21 points, and the number of candidates achieving scores between 17 and 23 also increased compared to 2020. The biggest change occurred in the A01 group, with the distribution shifting to the right compared to 2020, peaking at 22 points, but the number of candidates scoring between 21 and 27 points increased significantly compared to 2020.
The three subject combinations A00, A01, and B00 are the main combinations used by candidates to register for Natural Sciences majors. Based on the above assessments, the predicted cut-off scores for basic Natural Sciences majors will remain largely unchanged, while some majors with cut-off scores of 20-23 points in 2020 may see a slight increase.
However, whether the cutoff score increases or decreases will depend on the number and quality of applicants for that major, and thus will also depend heavily on adjustments to preferences after the exam results are released.
Having been in charge of the university's admissions for many years, Associate Professor Vu Hoang Linh advises that, at this time, candidates should review the majors and universities they have chosen based on their interests and abilities.
Students still have a few days to gather more information about different fields of study, such as training content, job opportunities, or further education after graduation. They should also carefully review the admission requirements and subject combinations for each major and each university.
Another important step is to review the cutoff scores for those majors over the past 1-2 years, as well as the score distribution for the subjects and exam combinations in 2021. A comparison with the 2020 score distribution is recommended to predict the upward or downward trend of the cutoff scores.
For your first and second choices, you should prioritize your most desired majors/schools, with predicted cutoff scores that are 1-1.5 points higher than your exam score. Next, list your choices in order of priority, with predicted cutoff scores decreasing relative to your exam score. For added security, consider adding one or two more majors that are close to or similar to your most preferred major but with predicted cutoff scores significantly lower than your exam score.
If your exam score is lower than the average, or significantly lower than the cutoff score for the major/school you applied to (by 3-5 points), you need to reconsider and adjust your preferences to match your score using a similar strategy as described above.
Even with high exam scores, students should still refer to the score distribution for each subject and the chosen subject combination. If the average score in that subject combination is also high, and the chosen major is a "hot" one, then caution is advised. In previous years, some students with high scores, even 25 or 26 points, still failed to get into university.
