Reduce pressure, add options
In 2026, Can Tho University will organize 7 V-SAT exams, 1 more than in 2025. Notably, 2 of them will take place after the 2026 High School Graduation Exam. This is considered by many candidates to be a valuable opportunity, helping them reduce pressure and have more options to enter their dream school.
When the exam schedule was announced, Tran Thi Cam Tu (grade 12 student, Phu Tan commune, An Giang) carefully calculated the review roadmap to both ensure her scores in class and master specialized competency assessment exams such as V-SAT.
Sharing about her schedule, Cam Tu said: I am focusing on reviewing 3 strengths: Math, Physics and English. Because V-SAT focuses on high school knowledge but requires quick thinking ability, he has to allocate time to solve the test each night. I plan to register for 3 rounds. In particular, after the High School Graduation Exam, I will focus on breaking my scores.
Also having high expectations, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thao (O Mon ward, Can Tho city) said that having an additional V-SAT exam after the High School Graduation Exam is a great opportunity. "This year, there are 2 exams after graduation, I feel like I have been given an additional "golden ticket". At that time, I feel more comfortable, no longer worried about overlapping schedules or knowledge, I believe I will do my homework better, Ngoc Thao shared.
Ready to meet nearly 76,000 candidates
Talking to Lao Dong, Master Nguyen Hua Duy Khang - Deputy Head of Training Department (Can Tho University) - informed that in 2025, the school will organize 6 V-SAT exams, with the number of candidates participating accounting for 57% of the country.

The new and special point of this year's V-SAT exam is that there are 2 rounds taking place after the High School Graduation Exam.
Through experience from 2025, the final V-SAT exam taking place after the High School Graduation Exam has a sharp increase in the number of candidates, the highest among the 6 rounds. This year, we will organize 2 rounds, in order to create the best conditions for students to take the exam without pressure after completing the High School Graduation Exam, said Mr. Khang.
