Candidates taking the 2025 Ho Chi Minh City National University Competency Assessment Exam
On the afternoon of November 12, Ho Chi Minh City National University decided to issue the structure of the competency assessment test applicable from 2025.
Accordingly, from 2025, the structure of the competency assessment test will be adjusted to match the 2018 General Education Program. Ho Chi Minh City National University will maintain the structure of the language and mathematics sections, while increasing the number of questions in these two sections to increase the reliability and discrimination of the test.
The logic - data analysis and problem solving section is restructured into a scientific thinking section to assess candidates' ability in logic and scientific reasoning when solving real-life situations in the fields of science, technology, economics and society.
The questions in the scientific thinking section are designed to provide information, data, facts, experimental planning, and experimental results, thereby requiring candidates to demonstrate their ability to understand and apply information, determine experimental results, and predict laws.
The competency assessment test from 2025 will still include 120 objective multiple-choice questions with 150 minutes to complete and will be conducted on paper. The test results will be determined by modern multiple-choice methods according to the question response theory. The score of each question will be weighted differently depending on the difficulty of the question.
The test score is converted by section. The maximum score of the test is 1,200, in which the maximum score for each component of the test is shown on the score sheet including: Vietnamese is 300 points, English is 300 points; mathematics is 300 points and scientific thinking is 300 points.
This test aims to accurately assess students' overall abilities, helping universities and colleges recruit suitable candidates; At the same time, it ensures fairness and creates equal opportunities in accessing higher education for all candidates, even when they choose different subjects in high school. The approach to this test is also consistent with the combined admission orientation of member units of Ho Chi Minh City National University.
