Mr. Bao Hien, a volunteer supporting the competency assessment exam at the exam site of the University of Technology (VNU-HCM), said that the same school has many different exam sites, so candidates who do not read the information carefully will easily go to the wrong place. In addition, many candidates forget their ID cards at home.

Dr. Nguyen Trung Nhan, Head of Training Department - Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, said that although the school and Ho Chi Minh City National University had communicated very carefully, there were still many incidents. In addition to arranging a volunteer force of more than 100 students, the school also mobilized lecturers and staff to join hands to support candidates from early morning. In addition, the school also arranged a team of motorbikes to promptly bring candidates who had gone to the wrong exam location to the correct exam location on time.

The HCM City National University's competency assessment test still consists of 120 objective multiple-choice questions with 150 minutes to complete and is done on paper. The maximum score for the competency assessment test is 1,200.

This year, more than 100 universities and colleges have registered to use the results of the competency assessment exam for admission.
