They say business is a battlefield, and exams can feel just as intense. The 10th-grade entrance exam in 2018 is in the past, but the lessons learned from it remain valuable. Understanding how the scoring for the 10th-grade exam works isn’t just helpful for students back then; it also builds confidence for those facing this challenging “battle” in the future.
How to Calculate the Admission Score for 10th Grade in 2018
The admission score for 10th grade in 2018 was calculated based on the total scores of the exam subjects and any bonus points (if applicable). The general formula applied in most provinces and cities was:
Admission Score = (Subject 1 Score + Subject 2 Score + Subject 3 Score) + Bonus Points
Typically, the three main exam subjects are Math, Literature, and English. However, some specialized and selective schools may have additional specialized subjects. Bonus points are added based on priority categories such as children of war invalids, martyrs, or ethnic minorities. Each region and school may have its own specific regulations regarding bonus points, so students need to carefully research the admission regulations of their desired school.
Factors Affecting the Cut-off Score
The cut-off score for 10th grade in 2018 depended on several factors, including:
- Enrollment Quota: The number of students admitted to each school directly affects the cut-off score. The smaller the quota, the higher the cut-off score.
- Student Performance: If students perform well in a given year, the cut-off score will increase, and vice versa.
- School Reputation: Schools with prestige and high-quality education often have higher cut-off scores.
Professor Nguyen Van An, in his book “Exam Strategy,” emphasized: “Understanding how scores are calculated and the factors influencing the cut-off score is the first step to conquering the 10th-grade entrance exam.”
Story of the 2018 10th Grade Exam
I vividly remember the story of Minh, a student from Hanoi. Minh was a diligent student, but he was always worried about the 10th-grade entrance exam. Minh confided, “I’m afraid I won’t get enough points to get into Chu Van An High School.” I advised Minh to stay calm, thoroughly review his knowledge, and carefully understand the scoring method. In the end, Minh was admitted to Chu Van An High School with a fairly high score. Minh’s story is proof that “diligence pays off.”
