ABSTRACT
Assessment is an essential feature of the competency-based educational model because only by means of evaluation we can verify achievement of specified learning outcomes. This is especially important in the context of professions education for high school students. This study aims to investigate the distribution of VNU HSA results. The HSA cores collected from 87.095 examinees taking part in the VNU HSA exam in 2023. Descriptive statistics will be first used to measure central tendency including the mean and median and variability including standard deviation, minimum and maximum variables. Histograms are then used to identify the distribution of VNU HSA results. Finally, the study results and main findings will be discussed and summarized. VNU HSA results showed that the lowest and highest VNU HSA scores were 31 and 133, respectively. Whereas, the VNU HSA values of the mean and median were 77.1 and 77.0, respectively. VNU HSA scores in 2023 were normally distributed.
