According to the examination board, the average score of the 2025 competency assessment test (HSA exam) will be higher than previous years. The reason is that candidates will be able to choose a third part of the exam to promote their personal abilities and strengths.

On the evening of March 16, after the first round of the Hanoi National University 2025 Competency Assessment Exam (HAS Exam), Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tien Thao, Chairman of the Examination Council, said that the total number of candidates registered for the exam was 11,027. The number of candidates who completed the application form in accordance with the regulations and came to take the exam was 10,958 (reaching 99.4% of the candidate rate). One candidate was disciplined and suspended from the exam.
The first round of HSA exams took place on March 15 and 16 at 8 exam locations. Of which, 5 exam locations are in Hanoi, 3 locations are in Thai Nguyen, Nam Dinh, Thai Binh . Currently, 100 universities use HSA 2025 results for university admission.
Preliminary statistics show that the candidate with the highest score in the first round of exams was 126/150. The second highest score was 125/150.
"The average score of the 2025 competency assessment test will be slightly higher than previous years. The reason is that candidates can choose the third part of the test to promote their personal abilities and strengths," Mr. Thao initially commented.
Mr. Thao said that in the past two days, some exam preparation groups have impersonated candidates (using fake accounts) to "review" the 501st round of competency assessment exams (the first round of exams) to promote and attract candidates to take the exam.
Right after the first exam session ended, at 11am on March 15, some fake accounts posted scores of 126/150, 135/150. Mr. Thao affirmed that no candidate achieved these scores on the first day of the exam.
"The Hanoi National University's assessment test is designed based on modern measurement testing science . The test structure and test question content are distributed from grade 10 to grade 12 at the ratio of 10-15%, 30-40%, 50-60% respectively.
Short-term review is not very effective for candidates. The exam organizer also recommends that candidates should have a scientific and systematic study and review plan instead of getting bogged down by promotional exam preparation groups," said Mr. Thao.
This year, Hanoi National University opened 6 HSA exam sessions, with about 90,000 exam seats. Each candidate can register for a maximum of 2 exam sessions. However, after the first registration period, all exam seats were booked, so no candidate could register for 2 exam sessions.

Mr. Thao commented that in the first round of exams, students in the city chose the third part, English, more than the science part. Meanwhile, candidates in rural areas chose the science part more.
