Therefore, the test is designed to ensure reliable results for high school graduation, assessment of the teaching and learning process, allowing candidates to use the test results to apply for admission to universities, colleges, and vocational training.

Specifically, the exam does not only test knowledge but focuses more on assessing the ability to apply knowledge into practice.

The differentiation will clearly show a score of 7 points or higher. The ratio of questions distributed at the levels of knowledge, understanding, and application is 4-3-3. With a knowledge and understanding ratio of about 70%, the exam will lean towards the goal of graduation while understanding and application will be about 30%, enough to differentiate for the purpose of university and college admission.

This helps to assess students' ability to read, understand and perceive texts in real-life situations, avoiding rote learning and mechanical memorization. Materials can include paragraphs, poems or situations related to current events and social life.
