I wonder when the test will be translated into English, seeing as so many English speaking expats now reside in Viet Nam.

Good luck taking the test, as Jaitch said it took him 7 times, so it's a long slow haul.

Not such a big deal ... full VN licences are unresricted.

It's good if you travel here and want to ride a bike without having any trouble from the law.

Yes and no, limited to include the day, where the Visa/residence ends, on the papers submitted

I found the January 1, 2015 International license here:

I'm debating whether to get my Vietnamese license before or after January 1, 2015. Only thing slowing me down is the difficult process of getting a health certificate.

Judging from the article I posted sounds like the pilot project only applies to big cities and not to Bien Hoa where I am now.

I just came across this聽聽聽 for no m/bike licence.
The link doesn't take you directly to that page, you need to click on Transport, then Driving licences. Then driving test.
The Tests
Applicants will need to take a theory test. The test is available in English, but English testing is not done regularly. The local driving licence departments can advise when and where the next English test is scheduled. The theory test for an automobile licence consists of 450 questions. The theory test for a motorcycle licence consists of 150 questions.

To be honest I've been wanting to know about that actually. I have both driving and motorcycle license for 1000cc but it's no use since I've to get a new one here in vietnam in order for me to use such vehicles and I forgot to bring my original copy of my driving license to get it endorsed.
