Reference excerpt

Universities and Colleges Selection Examination (TSĐHCĐ; Vietnamese: Kỳ thi tuyển sinh đại học và cao đẳng) was a type of standardized test that is no longer used by public and some private universities and junior college in Vietnam. Established in 2002, it was known roughly as the exam of 3 chung (same time, same questions and same results). The test by the Ministry of Education and Training held annually, one year later than Vietnamese High School Graduation Examination (Kỳ thi tốt nghiệp trung học phổ thông). In the years of being organized, it was held in the first and middle of July according to the following schedule:

Session 1: July 4 & July 5: exams for blocks A, A1, V of the university system. Candidates taking the V-block exam, after taking the Math and Physics tests, then continue to take the fine art aptitude test until July 8 (depending on the university). Session 2: July 9 & July 10, exams for blocks B, C, D, N, H, M, T, S, R, K of the university system. Candidates take the aptitude test, after participating in the cultural subjects (blocks H and N take the exam for Literature according to the exam questions of block C; block M takes the exam in Literature and Mathematics according to the exam questions of block D; block T takes the exam in Biology and Mathematics according to the exam questions of Block B; Block R taking Literature and History exams according to the exam questions of Block C; Block K taking Math and Physics exams according to the exam questions of Block A), then the gifted subjects of fine art, P.E., etc. music and engineering through July 14 (depending on universities). Session 3: July 15 & July 16, exam for all blocks of the junior college system. Since 2015, the exam have been abolished (along with the High School Graduation Examination), to be replaced by a unified test, which is the National High School Examination (Vietnamese: Kỳ thi trung học phổ thông quốc gia, THPTQG). The THPTQG was stopped after 2019, then High School Graduation Examination was held again, with the results able to be used by universities for admission or consider admission based on the results of new self-organized admission tests, such as Aptitude Test (VNU, VNU-HCM, HNUE, HCMUE and Vietnamese police academies), or Thinking Skills Assessment (HUST).

Contestant Who has a high school graduation certificates or equivalent level study (supplementary, secondary vocational school).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Universities and Colleges Selection Examination

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Universities and Colleges Selection Examination claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Universities and Colleges Selection Examination before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Universities and Colleges Selection Examination ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Universities and Colleges Selection Examination

In research: Universities and Colleges Selection Examination appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Universities and Colleges Selection Examination in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Universities and Colleges Selection Examination is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Education in Vietnam, Entrance examinations, Standardized tests, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Universities and Colleges Selection Examination outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
