In 2025, university admissions will have more schools using the results of their own entrance exams. This year, Hanoi Pedagogical University 2 will organize its own entrance exam for admission.

This year’s separate entrance exams have seen an increase in fees compared to last year. This makes the university entrance exam fees more expensive compared to the fees of the same universities a few years ago.

Each school exam has a different structure and assessment method for each individual subject or combines knowledge from many subjects into one exam, so the exam fees are different.

For example, the exams of Hanoi National University, Ho Chi Minh City National University, and Hanoi University of Science and Technology are tests that synthesize knowledge in many fields. The results are used for admission without having to be combined with other subjects.

Meanwhile, the exams of Hanoi Pedagogical University or Ho Chi Minh City Pedagogical University, the computer-based university entrance assessment exams of many other universities organize separate subjects.

Candidates take the exams and combine the results of each individual subject into a combination of 3 subjects for admission.

Among these, the specialized competency assessment exam of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education is different from the remaining schools.

In English, the exam of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education fully assesses the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing instead of just two skills of reading and writing like other exams.
