Hanoi University of Science and Technology announces 2027 TSA exam schedule

Hanoi University of Science and Technology has announced the schedule for its 2027 Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA). The exam is designed to evaluate three core competencies: Mathematical Thinking, Reading Comprehension, and Scientific Thinking/Problem Solving.

The assessment is conducted via computer and utilizes advanced testing technologies, such as Item Response Theory (IRT), to ensure standardized results. To prevent fraud and identity theft, the university employs automated check-in processes using citizen identity cards linked to the national population database.

In 2027, the university plans to hold three exam sessions on weekends across 11 provinces and cities, including Son La, Thai Nguyen, Hanoi, Hung Yen, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, and Da Nang. The first session is scheduled for January 16-17, 2027, with registration occurring from December 5-15, 2026.
