Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tien Thao, Director of the Testing Center, Hanoi National University, said on May 30 that the 2025 HSA exam will be adjusted to suit teaching and learning according to the new general education program.

The exam structure consists of three parts: mathematics and data processing, language - literature, science. This structure is similar to the current one, however the science part will have multiple choices, the way the questions are asked will also change.
