Based on the general guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Training , Hanoi University of Science and Technology applies the Percentile Equating method to find equivalent benchmark scores between the three university admission methods including: talent selection, Thinking Assessment test scores, and High School Graduation Exam scores.
In addition, Hanoi University of Science and Technology has collected and analyzed the enrollment data of the past 3 years, different admission combinations, analyzed the high school graduation exam score distribution by subject, TSA exam score distribution, and A00 original combination score distribution (Math-Physics-Chemistry) to determine the relative percentile range.

On that basis, the expert team built a correlation table between university admission methods of Hanoi University of Science and Technology.
Accordingly, the top% of high school graduation exam scores is calculated based on the total score of the original admission combination A00 (Math-Physics-Chemistry) for candidates with scores from the floor score to the highest score (30 points);
Top% of talent assessment scores 1.2 and 1.3 are calculated based on the total number of candidates with talent assessment scores from the floor score to the highest score (100 points); Top% of thinking assessment scores are calculated based on the total number of candidates with TSA scores from the floor score to the highest score (100 points).

The specific percentile values of the table will be calculated based on the talent selection scores, TSA test scores, 2025 high school graduation exam scores and academic results of students admitted according to the corresponding admission methods.
For other high school graduation exam score combinations other than the original combination A00, Hanoi University of Science and Technology will also calculate based on the corresponding difference in scores announced by the Ministry of Education and Training along with the high school graduation exam scores.
From the correlation table with specific percentile score range values, the conversion function between different admission methods will be interpolated. Accordingly, from the standard score in the percentile range of this admission method, it will be interpolated to the standard score in the corresponding percentile range of another admission method according to the following formula:

From the above formula, Hanoi University of Science and Technology takes the 2024 exam results as an example to analyze as follows:
Building a correlation table of standard scores between admission methods in 2024 based on admission data and student learning outcomes, the correlation table of standard scores between admission methods of Hanoi University of Science and Technology is specifically determined as follows:

In 2024, the benchmark score (admission score) of the MS2 program/major - Microelectronics Engineering and Nanotechnology of Hanoi University of Science and Technology according to the thinking assessment method is 71.68 points (x = 71.68).
Thus, this benchmark score will be in the 3rd percentile range, with a thinking assessment score value from [68.55 - 74.77]. Then the equivalent benchmark score for the high school graduation exam score will be in the corresponding percentile range (around 3) with a high school graduation exam score value from [27.14 - 28.04). From there, the corresponding conversion coefficients will be determined as:
a = 68.55; b = 74.77; c = 27.14; d = 28.04
Applying the interpolation formula to calculate the standard score equivalent to the high school graduation exam score y from the thinking assessment standard score x = 71.68 will be calculated as follows:

Similarly, the equivalent benchmark score for the 1.3 talent selection score for the MS2 program will be in the corresponding percentile range (around 3) with talent selection score values from [73.87 - 87.20). Then the corresponding conversion coefficients will be:
a = 68.55; b = 74.77; c = 73.87; d = 87.20
Applying the interpolation formula to calculate the standard score equivalent to the talent selection score of 1.3 z from the thinking assessment standard score x = 71.68 will be calculated as follows:
