After the Ministry of Education and Training's plan to convert the admission scores of all methods to the same scale, many universities have also proposed the formula for calculating the admission scores of the methods.
In 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training plans to require schools to convert scores so that the review scores and admission scores must be converted to a common, unified scale for each training program, industry, and group of industries.
This is a new point compared to the admissions from 2024 and earlier.
Ensure fairness in conversion
According to the reporter's records, up to this point, in the 2025 enrollment plan that many universities have announced, there are regulations on converting admission scores to a common scale.
At the University of Commerce, the admission scores of all methods are converted to a common scale. For the method of considering the test scores to assess capacity and thinking, the admission score is calculated according to the following formula:
In which: Ka, Kb are coefficients reflecting the difference in test difficulty/differentiation of candidates' level and will be announced after the 2025 high school graduation exam results are available.
Speaking with reporters of Dai Doan Ket Newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Quang Trung - Deputy Head of Communications and Admissions Department, University of Commerce, said that the school has announced the enrollment plan for 2025 with a total target of 5,320, an increase of 270 targets compared to last year.
Regarding the formula for calculating admission scores for each method, Mr. Trung said that the school relied on the benchmark scores of admission methods from 2022 to 2024 and compared the academic results of students admitted by this method and found similarities.
“From that data, the school calculated and came up with a formula for calculating admission scores in 2025, based on the spirit of ensuring fairness for candidates,” Mr. Trung affirmed.
Regarding information about the coefficients Ka and Kb for admission to candidates using the method of considering the results of the competency assessment test and thinking assessment, Mr. Trung said: "The school will announce the exact value of this coefficient after having the results of synthesizing and analyzing data from the testing units organizing the exam and especially the score distribution of the 2025 high school graduation exam.
From there, compare and set this coefficient at different score levels to ensure relative fairness between students considering high school graduation exam scores and students considering competency and thinking assessment scores.
Dr. Luu Huu Duc - Head of Management and Training Department, Academy of Finance, said that with this new regulation, each school will have its own method of converting admission scores to suit the target candidates. However, the conversion method needs to be public, transparent and ensure fairness for all candidates applying to that school.
Regarding the enrollment plan of the Academy of Finance in 2025, Mr. Duc said that the academy will reduce the enrollment methods to create favorable conditions for candidates, while maintaining the enrollment methods according to priority groups.
"For example, for international orientation programs, the Academy of Finance targets more candidates with English certificates. Therefore, we still prioritize using international English certificates to convert scores, counting them into the admission score," said Dr. Luu Huu Duc.
Candidates receive information on how to convert scores before applying for admission.
In response to candidates' concerns about this new score, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Anh Dung - Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Training said that this year, candidates are allowed to choose unlimited admission wishes, but must be ranked in order of priority from highest to lowest.
The general enrollment support system of the Ministry of Education and Training will not distinguish between admission methods. The number of admission methods the system "scans" depends on the total number of methods proposed by the training institution in the enrollment plan.
Candidates do not need to register for admission by method, just register for the major and arrange the order of preference in order of priority. Therefore, candidates should focus on learning, choosing to register for the major that they are truly passionate about and that suits their abilities, without worrying about the admission method.
The development of a score conversion plan is the responsibility of training institutions and the Ministry of Education and Training to ensure the rights of candidates. Candidates will receive public information on how to convert scores before registering for admission.
Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son said that the regulation on converting admission methods to the same scale of scores comes from the fact that there are currently two benchmarks: According to high school graduation exam scores and other benchmarks (scores based on academic records or scores based on thinking and capacity assessment test results).
Therefore, Mr. Son said, converting or determining these two benchmarks to be equivalent is very necessary to ensure fairness for candidates with equivalent abilities.
The Ministry of Education and Training is working with universities to develop guidelines to ensure uniformity in the spirit of ensuring diversity and autonomy of schools.
