However, the two most popular methods are based on student GPAs (grade point average) at high school and their high school final exam results. This is because the quota for admitting students based on their high-school records is small, while demand is very high. In many cases, high school teachers ‘fabricate’ high GPAs for students. High school teachers tend to give high marks to 12th graders’ school work because the marks will partially determine the future of students. Admitting students based on their high school records is new in Vietnam, so schools are cautious when using this method.
