According to the representative of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, to comply with the new general education program of the Ministry of Education and Training , from 2023, the content and format of the TSA exam have been implemented according to the design and will remain stable for many years to come.
Accordingly, the test consists of 3 parts: Mathematical thinking (60 minutes), Reading comprehension (30 minutes) and Scientific thinking/problem solving (60 minutes).
These are 3 independent exams, the exam questions will focus on assessing the thinking ability of the candidates in each exam, not directly testing the knowledge of any subject.
The test will be conducted in the form of multiple choice tests on computers, and the test results will be valid for 2 years for university admission purposes.
Many modern testing technologies have been applied to the exam such as the technology of building standardized thinking test questions, bridge theory in the exam, technology of scoring according to the multi-parameter IRT model, automatic check-in technology according to CCCD cards integrated with the personal data management system on the National Population Database to identify candidates coming to take the exam to completely prevent proxy exams and cheating in exams...
