The 2025 competency assessment test of Ho Chi Minh City National University will be adjusted to suit the trend of choosing diverse subjects of candidates in the 2018 general education program, ensuring fairness and creating opportunities to access higher education for all candidates.

Regarding the exam structure, the structure of the language and mathematics sections will be kept, while the number of questions in these two sections will be added to increase the reliability and discrimination of the exam.

The logic - data analysis and problem solving section is restructured into a scientific thinking section to assess candidates' ability in logic and scientific reasoning when solving real-life situations in the fields of science, technology, economics and society.

Questions in the scientific thinking section are constructed in the direction of providing information, data, facts, experimental planning, and experimental results, thereby requiring candidates to demonstrate their ability to understand and apply information, determine experimental results, and predict laws.

The 2025 Competency Assessment Test consists of 120 objective multiple-choice questions with 150 minutes of testing and is conducted on paper. The test results are determined by modern multiple-choice testing methods according to the question response theory.

Each question is weighted differently depending on the difficulty of the question. The test score is converted for each section.

The maximum score of the test is 1,200 points, in which the maximum score of each component of the test is shown on the score sheet including Vietnamese is 300 points, English is 300 points; mathematics is 300 points and scientific thinking is 300 points.

The Ho Chi Minh City National University's Competency Assessment Test is the largest competency assessment test in the country.
