This year's HSA exam will be conducted in six distinct sessions, with candidates permitted to register for only one. Students should therefore carefully review their mid-term exam schedules at school to prevent conflicts. The initial registration window is from 1/2 to 7/2, accessible via the Vietnam National University, Hanoi Testing Information Portal or the official HSA website.
An additional registration opportunity is available for candidates seeking a second session, provided there are still open slots. This secondary registration period runs from 8/2 to 14/2. Upon successful registration, candidates must submit the required fee within 1-96 hours to secure their place and avoid cancellation.
