Mr. Nguyen Tien Thao - Director of the Testing Center, Hanoi National University - spoke at the conference.
On August 22, the Hanoi National University Examination Center informed about new points, points to note and the plan to organize the 2025 capacity assessment exam.
No rote learning, no tricks
Mr. Nguyen Tien Thao - Director of the Testing Center - said that the structure of the 2025 HSA exam is adjusted to suit teaching and learning according to the new general education program, with comprehensive exam questions and practical math problems.
The structure consists of 3 parts, including mathematics and data processing (50 questions, 75 minutes); language - literature (50 questions, 60 minutes); science (50 questions, 60 minutes).
In terms of format, the 2025 HSA exam will be adjusted mainly in the science section and the way questions are asked. After completing the first two parts, in the third part, candidates will be able to choose 3 out of 5 topics in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, history, and geography to complete the exam within 195 minutes (not including extra time for trial questions).
Regarding questions, the way of asking questions, and the content of questions in the HSA exam will also have many changes. Each exam topic will have cluster questions in all sections. In a context of the test data, 1-3 different questions will be asked to assess the candidate's overall ability.
Multiple choice questions can be new topics with given material, requiring candidates to identify, analyze and propose solutions to the given problem.
The foreign language selection section will be developed into a separate component to replace the science section to assess specialized competencies.
Mr. Thao reminded candidates that in order to do well on the HSA exam, they must have a firm grasp of basic knowledge, not memorize or learn tricks when taking the competency assessment test.
