Nguyen Ngoc Anh, from a rural high school in Hanoi, achieved a near-perfect SAT score in the top 1% globally and an IELTS score of 8.0, securing her place as a top-scoring entrant at the Foreign Trade University.

Quynh Trang achieved a 9.0 IELTS score after two months of preparation, thanks to a strong English foundation, focusing on vocabulary, and effectively allocating time between test sections.

With an IELTS score of 5.5 or higher, almost 7,000 freshmen at the National Economics University (NEU) have already met the English language graduation requirements, a milestone typically achieved at the end of their studies.

Approval and licensing for foreign language proficiency tests will be handled by provincial authorities, not the Ministry of Education and Training.
