According to the university admission regulations recently issued by the Ministry of Education and Training, schools are allowed to convert foreign language certificates into scores for this subject to include in the admission combination, but the weighting must not exceed 50%.

In addition, the Ministry stipulates that the incentive points and bonus points for candidates with foreign language certificates must not exceed 10% of the maximum score on the scale (for example, a maximum of 3 points on a scale of 30). At the same time, schools must ensure that no candidate has an admission score (including bonus points and regional and subject priority points) exceeding the maximum. Thus, if a candidate scores 30 points according to the admission combination, having a foreign language certificate is almost meaningless.
