The combined method is to use multiple score sources at the same time (high school graduation exam scores, transcript scores, competency assessment exam scores... ).
Currently, some schools in the Ho Chi Minh City National University group have announced the score calculation formula.
University of Social Sciences and Humanities
Admission score = w1THPT + w2ĐGNL + w3HB + bonus points + priority points
w1, w2, w3 are the weight of high school graduation exam scores, competency assessment, and transcripts.

Before applying the formula, the component score will be converted to a scale of 100 as follows:
THPT= (High school graduation exam score according to admission combination) x 100/30.
ĐGNL = (Competency assessment test score) x 100/1200.
HB = (Average score of 3-year high school transcript according to admission combination) x 100/30.
University of Economics and Law
The common admission formula (maximum 100 points) is determined: Admission score = Academic score + Bonus points + Priority points for subjects and areas.

- Subject 1 (ĐT1): Candidates who participate in the ĐGNL exam at VNU-HCM in 2026
- Subject 2 (ĐT2): Candidates who do not participate in the ĐGNL exam at VNU-HCM in 2026
- Subject 3 (ĐT3): Free candidates who only participate in the ĐGNL VNU-HCM exam in 2026 (have graduated from high school)
- Subject 4 (DT4): Candidates with international admission certificates such as: international baccalaureate (IB), A-level, SAT, ACT.
University of Health Sciences
Admission score = Aptitude test score (AP) × a + High school graduation exam score × b + High school transcript score (HB) × c + Bonus points (if any) + Priority points for subjects and areas (if any).
In which, the minimum coefficient a (ĐGNL) is 40%, the maximum coefficient b (high school graduation exam score) is 35% and the maximum coefficient c (admission record) is 25%.
High school graduation exam scores and transcripts are calculated according to the subject combination for each major.
Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry - Maxillofacial, Traditional Medicine, Nursing use the combination B00 (Math - Chemistry - Biology) and A02 (Math - Physics - Biology).
Pharmacy considers combination B00 (Math - Chemistry - Biology) and A00 (Math - Physics - Chemistry).
University of Information Technology
Admission score = Hs1 x THPT + Hs2 x ĐGNL + Hs3 x HB + Plus points (if any) + Priority points (if any)
Score component coefficient: Hs1 = 47.5%, Hs2 = 47.5%, Hs3 = 5%
The admission score is calculated on a scale of 100 points, the maximum level is 100 points.
International University
Admission score (ĐXT) = (k1 x converted high school) + (k2 x converted ĐGNL exam score) + (k3 x converted high school transcript score) + Bonus points (if any) + Priority points (if any).
In which:
The admission score scale is 100.
High school exam score (converted) = Total score of 3 subjects in the 2026 high school graduation exam according to the combination converted to a 100-point scale.
ĐGNL exam score (converted) = ĐGNL exam score of VNU-HCM in 2026 converted to a 100-point scale.
Academic transcript score (converted) = The average score for the whole year of 3 subjects in the combination converted to a 100-point scale.
A bonus point (English certificate, excellent student awards at all levels, scientific research awards at all levels,...) is converted to a 100-point scale.
Subject priority points, regional priority points according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training are converted to a scale of 100.
