The highest score of the past exams was 130/150 (candidates took part 1 - Mathematics and data processing, part 2 - Language - Literature, part 3 - Science with 3 topics Physics, Chemistry and Biology); the lowest was 18/150; the average score was 80.2/150; the standard deviation was 14.6.

Score distribution of 2 rounds of competency assessment in March 2025.

Compared to the March 2024 exams, the 2025 exam scores tend to increase slightly (about 3-5 points on a 150-point scale) because candidates can choose the science or English exam according to their abilities and strengths according to the 2018 General Education Program.

Therefore, the admission score based on HSA exam results in 2025 is expected to be higher than in previous years. According to the distribution statistics of the exam, the percentage of candidates achieving ≥ 110/150 is 2.1%; achieving ≥ 105/150 is 2.1%; the score of ≥ 100 is 10.1%; the score of ≥ 90/150 is 27.0%; from 80/150 and above is 51.1%; from 75/150 is 63.4%.

Statistics of candidates choosing the third exam show that 47.1% chose English, 16.6% chose Physics - Chemistry - History, 11.3% chose Physics - Chemistry - Biology, 7.4% chose History - Geography - Physics, 5.7% chose History - Geography - Biology, and less than 5% took the remaining combinations.

New regulations on competency assessment test scores

From 2025, HSA test scores will be converted to a 30-point scale according to the University Admission Regulations for admission purposes. Competency assessment test scores will be converted independently to a 30-point scale for university admission purposes according to the compulsory test (Mathematics and Data Processing, Language - Literature) and the optional test of Science and English.

According to the Admission Regulations, for a training program, major, or group of majors, all candidates are considered equally based on the admission score and equivalent converted admission score according to each admission method, admission combination,...

Candidates should note this regulation to avoid having their exam results and admission results canceled after the exam ends due to violations of exam confidentiality regulations such as disclosing, discussing, and sharing information about exam questions and exam papers without the consent of the exam organizing unit.

Universities base on the score distribution and components of the exam to match the input quality requirements of the training programs for enrollment.

The exam organizer recommends that the natural science, technology and engineering training block choose a science exam with at least 1 topic in the field of Physics or Chemistry.

The health, agricultural, and biomedical sciences block chooses a science section with at least one topic in the biological field.

Social sciences and humanities majors choose a science section with at least one topic in the field of History or Geography.

Earth Science majors choose a minimum exam section with 1 topic in the field of Physics or Geography.

Economics, business administration, and law majors choose a science exam with at least one topic in Physics, History, or English.

Foreign languages, diplomacy, foreign languages and cultures choose English in the third exam.

The next two exams will take place on April 12-13 and April 19-20 with over 31,000 candidates registering.
