What is the announcement of the illustrative question papers for the competency assessment exam 2025 held by Ho Chi Minh City University of Education?

On the morning of December 9, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education officially announced a change in the structure of the question papers for the competency assessment exam. To be specific:

- The Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology question papers consist of 40 questions, divided into 3 sections, instead of 50 questions with 2 sections as before.

- The Literature question paper includes 22 questions in 3 parts: reading comprehension (multiple choice); writing a short paragraph; essay writing. The short paragraph writing is a new feature compared to previous years' tests.

- The English question paper remains unchanged, consisting of 4 sections: listening, speaking, reading, writing. The materials are sourced from various fields.

The question papers will closely align with the 2018 General Education Program, with around 70-80% of the content from grade 12, and the remainder from grades 10 and 11. Students take the papers on computers with each subject lasting 90 minutes.

The results of the competency assessment exam will account for 40-50% of the enrollment targets at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Students must take at least two papers, with one main paper (depending on the combination). The admission score is the total of the main subject score multiplied by a factor of two, plus the other paper.
