Nearly 1,000 candidates participated in the first round of the Vietnam National University, Hanoi's aptitude test at VNU-USSH.

To achieve the highest possible score on the exam and avoid regrettable mistakes, the school would like to draw the following attention to the following points:

The HSA (Higher Skills Assessment Test) consists of three sections: Qualitative Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Science, and is conducted entirely on a computer. After the time allotted for each section expires, the computer automatically moves to the next section. Candidates can only go back to correct answers for questions within the same section; once they move to a different section, they cannot return to the previous one.
The results will be displayed directly on the computer screen after the candidate finishes all three parts of the test.
The high school student competency assessment test has a time limit of 195 minutes and includes multiple-choice questions (select answers) and fill-in-the-blank questions in the following fields: Mathematics (50 questions, 75 minutes), Literature - Language (50 questions, 60 minutes), and Natural and Social Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography - 50 questions, 60 minutes).
