The percentage of candidates taking the aptitude test is impressively high.

Specifically, on the morning of May 30, 2015, the first day of the aptitude test, the total number of registered candidates was over 6,500, with nearly 6,300 present, accounting for 95.52%; the number of candidates taking the Foreign Language test was 13,250 out of a total of 14,590 registered, accounting for 90.79%. The test center with the highest attendance rate was 97%, and the lowest was 83.33%; there were 47 cases of candidates having to reschedule their test to the afternoon of the same day, May 30.

In the afternoon session of May 31, 2015, 6,270 candidates out of 6,499 registered candidates participated, achieving a participation rate of 96.48%.

According to information from the Admissions Steering Committee, at the end of the morning exam session on May 31st, at one exam center in Hanoi with 499 candidates, the highest score was 115/140 points, and the number of candidates achieving an average score (70 points) or higher was 352/499 (accounting for 70.3%). According to the assessment of the Vice Director of Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Nguyen Kim Son, the fact that 2/3 of the total number of candidates achieved an average score or higher shows that the exam questions were reasonably and effectively categorized candidates, and the differentiation among candidates was quite clear.

“The number of candidates who had to change exam sessions was high at the three exam centers in Hanoi. At the exam centers in Nghe An, Da Nang, or Thai Nguyen… the number of candidates changing exam sessions was very low. This shows that the level of information technology is not a major obstacle for candidates in remote areas,” Deputy Director Nguyen Kim Son assessed. However, the Head of the Admissions Steering Committee of Vietnam National University, Hanoi in 2015 affirmed that Vietnam National University, Hanoi will still strengthen its efforts to remind candidates to fully and correctly follow the exam procedures.

Furthermore, thanks to the dedicated support and assistance from over 1000 volunteer students of Vietnam National University, Hanoi, as well as the provision of comfortable resting places and free drinking water for candidates' family members at the examination sites, and especially the milder weather, the health of candidates and invigilators, as well as the security situation during the first two days of the exam, remained stable without any unusual incidents.
