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.

The questions in the scientific thinking section are designed to provide 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 test results are determined by modern multiple-choice methods according to the question response theory. The score of each question has different weights depending on the difficulty of the question.
