Of 8,950 students from Hoa Binh province, only 2,800 scored mark 8 or higher (of the 10-point scale).
Only 1,660 of more than 10,550 candidates in Son La province scored mark 8 or higher.
None of Ha Giang’s 5,150 candidates was given mark 10. Only about 1,040 earned mark 8 or higher.
In 2018, the average score of nine subjects of the contestants from Ha Giang, Son La and Hoa Binh was also low, ranking among the five provinces and cities in the country with lowest exam score. However, the number students scoring 8 or higher was abnormally high. Thus, the MoET appraised and uncovered the exam frauds.

The scam was only found out after Hoa Binh and Son La were among the provinces in the country having the highest percentage of students scoring mark 9 or higher in mathematics in 2018 high school exams.
The number was much higher than the national average and the average of localities which have historically performed better in these kinds of exam.
The results of the exams are used for university admission.
