The Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) test of Hanoi University of Science and Technology aims to assess three basic thinking abilities of students, including: Mathematical Thinking, Reading Comprehension and Scientific Thinking/Problem Solving - important factors that help students to study best in a university education environment.

The TSA exam is organized in a streamlined and effective manner, applying advanced testing technologies, approaching modern thinking assessment exams in the world, such as SAT, ACT...

Hanoi University of Science and Technology said that in order 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 parts, the test questions will focus on assessing the thinking ability of the candidate in each part, not directly testing the knowledge of any subject.

The test is in the form of multiple choice tests on computers, and the test results will be valid for 2 years to serve the university admissions process. Many modern testing technologies have been applied to the exam, such as the technology of constructing standardized thinking test questions, bridge theory in the test, technology of scoring tests according to the multi-parameter IRT model, automatic check-in technology according to Citizen Identification Card integrated with the personal data management system on the National Population Database to identify candidates taking the exam to completely prevent cheating and cheating in exams.
