Assured

Many universities have announced the minimum score and the score for receiving application documents for admission based on the assessment score of Hanoi National University (from 50-100/150 points); the assessment score of Hanoi University of Science and Technology from 50-60/100 points; the guaranteed entrance threshold for admission for candidates with IELTS certificates from 4.0, 5.5 - 6.5 or higher.

In Hai Duong, many students have participated in the above two exams to have the opportunity to "secure" admission to their favorite universities without having to wait for the high school graduation exam results. Of which, Thanh Mien II High School has about 80 students taking the Hanoi National University's capacity assessment exam and 40 students taking the Hanoi University of Science and Technology's thinking assessment exam. Nguyen Van Cu High School (Hai Duong City) has 135 students, Tu Ky High School has 190 students taking these two exams. Many students from Tu Ky High School have achieved high scores in the Hanoi National University's capacity assessment exam such as Nguyen Quynh Lan with 117 points, Bui Thi Yen Nhi with 114 points, Nguyen Thi Yen Nhi with 112 points...

With a score of 117/150 in the first round of the Hanoi National University's competency assessment exam last March, Vu Thi Dieu Linh, grade 12, Thanh Mien II High Schoolcan participate in early admission to many universities such as: National Economics University (minimum admission score from 85 points); Academy of Finance (from 90 points); Foreign Trade University (from 100 points)...

With a score of 65 in the thinking assessment test of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Quang Thanh Nam, a student of Nguyen Van Cu High School, has a high chance of being admitted to the school's two majors: telecommunications electronics and automobile engineering. Nam will take the test a second time in the hope of getting a higher score to be admitted to the Faculty of Automation.

Many students also study foreign languages ​​early to get an IELTS certificate for university admission purposes. Dao Phuong Ngoc, a 12th grader at Tu Ky High School, has an IELTS certificate of 8.0. Ngoc said that with an IELTS result of 8.0 and a GPA of 9.5, she can be "sure" of being admitted to top schools such as: Foreign Trade University, Diplomatic Academy...

The above students said that they had planned early and chosen the aptitude test, thinking test and foreign language certificate to have more opportunities to be admitted to universities early. To get the above results, they had to work hard to study. Up to now, their mentality is quite comfortable and the pressure of exams has decreased a lot.

Focus on high school graduation exam

Although they know that the results of their individual exams can "guarantee" admission to university, many students say they are not subjective and are still focused on entering the upcoming high school graduation exam with the best results.

Mr. Hua Tien Nam, Principal of Thanh Mien II High School, said that in recent years, the number of students taking the ability and thinking assessment exams has been increasing, so the school has directed teachers to pay attention and support them. "To ensure the quality of the high school graduation exam, every year the school collects early statistics on the number of students taking separate exams, and at the same time meets and talks privately so that students can continue to focus on reviewing for the high school graduation exam," said Mr. Nam.

In 2023, Hai Duong has 3,154 candidates registering for the Hanoi National University's competency assessment exam. 2024 is the first year that Hanoi National University will set up a competency assessment exam site at Sao Do University (Chi Linh) with 4 sessions, with 4,800 students taking the exam. This helps Hai Duong candidates not have to go to other provinces to take the exam.

Mr. Do Duy Hung, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training, said that the increasing number of candidates choosing to take competency and thinking assessment exams is an inevitable trend. The Department has also guided schools on their own exams; coordinated and directed schools to organize admission counseling and career orientation programs so that students can grasp information about the exams. However, the Department has also thoroughly instructed and reminded high schools to focus on consolidating and reviewing for the high school graduation exam with the highest spirit and results to increase students' chances of being admitted.

Mr. Hung emphasized that when participating in early admission methods of universities such as aptitude tests, thinking tests or foreign language certificates and high school transcripts, students need to carefully study the university's admission plan announced on the website to closely follow the records, procedures, documents and deadlines, to avoid missing out. When students are notified that they have passed the early admission, they are not yet admitted to university. Because they have not taken the high school graduation exam, have not graduated from high school, so they have not been officially admitted...
