On 23/5, the Military Admissions Board announced that the reference papers for the QDA competency assessment exam include illustrative questions similar to the official test. The exam is divided into three sections: Mathematics and Data Processing (80 minutes, 50 questions), Literature - Language (55 minutes, 50 questions), and Science or English (60 minutes, 50 questions).
For the Science section, candidates can choose one of four combinations: Physics - Chemistry, Chemistry - Biology, Physics - Biology, or History - Geography.

Candidates who do not register for the QDA exam can apply to the 23 military academies through three other methods: direct admission, using scores from competency assessment exams by Dai hoc Quoc gia Ha Noi and TP HCM, or based on high school graduation exam scores.
This year, the military academies plan to enroll 5,420 university cadets, an increase of over 1,000, marking the highest number in the past 5 years.
