Ministry of Education and Training guides the conversion framework between types of exam scores

According to the instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training, the conversion framework provides the score ranges of individual exams (APT, HSA, TSA...) and the score ranges of appropriate high school graduation exam subject combinations according to the percentile method based on the analysis of the exam results of candidates with both individual exam scores and corresponding graduation exam subject combination scores in 2025.

The score ranges are ranked according to the top 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%... (Table 1) as follows:

The Ministry of Education and Training requires that the responsibilities of training institutions organizing entrance exams and independent exams are as follows:

Firstly, determine the graduation exam subject combinations that are suitable for the characteristics of the individual exam organized by the training institution and recommend that other training institutions can use them, clarifying which combination is most suitable.

Second, announce the percentile of the results of the 2025 individual exams (X0, X1... in Table 1) before May 31, 2025; no later than June 30, 2025 for exams with results announced after May 31, 2025.

Third, coordinate with the Ministry of Education and Training to analyze the high school graduation exam results of candidates who have their own exam results, on that basis, announce the score ranges of the appropriate subject combinations (A0, A1..., B0, B1... in Table 1), no later than 3 days after announcing the 2025 high school graduation exam results.

Based on these figures, the admission scores and entrance thresholds of each specific industry and group of industries will be converted linearly within each score range. For example, the admission score according to the A00 combination (T_A00) in the range A2 - A3 will be converted to the admission score according to the HSA exam score (T_HSA) according to the formula:

T_HSA = HSA3 + (T_A00 – A3) × (HSA2 – HSA3) / (A2 – A3)

Conversion framework between combinations using high school graduation exam scores:

The general admission support system maintains the form of entering the difference in scores between the original admission combination and other admission combinations for a major of training institutions as in previous years.

Determining the difference in admission scores between popular combinations will be based on comparing the score distribution announced by the Ministry of Education and Training after the 2025 high school graduation exam results are available according to each admission score range.

Framework for converting admission scores from high school academic results (report card scores):

High school report card scores do not reflect assessment results on a unified national assessment scale, so building a common conversion framework is meaningless.

However, the Ministry of Education and Training will publish statistics on the correlation between high school graduation exam scores and average high school subject scores. On that basis, training institutions will determine the conversion rules for equivalent admission scores and entrance thresholds.
