Candidate Dinh Duc Thanh - Ha Huy Tap High School said: Math is my strength and also my strength. However, I found this year's exam to be quite high-level. I could only do questions 1 to 42. From questions 42 onwards, I made a guess but was not very sure.

However, compared to the practice tests, I think it's quite good because when I take practice tests, I usually only get from 7 to under 8 points, but on this test, I hope I'll get from 8 to 8.2 points.

In an excited mood, Tran Nguyen Phuong, at the Examination Council of Anh Son 3 High School, said: I see that this year's Math exam closely follows the curriculum and differentiates students according to each level. Average students can get 5 to above 5 points. The first 40 questions are familiar types of exercises that students have been familiar with during the review process. From question 41 onwards, students must have a firm grasp of the knowledge to be able to do it. I am not too worried about the results of Math, because this is my strong subject. I think I can get above 8 points.

Student Nguyen Hoang Anh at the Examination Council of Anh Son 1 High School shared: I think this year's Math exam contains all the knowledge in the curriculum and review. We have been familiar with the structure of the exam through the mock exams. From question 41 to question 50, the level of differentiation increases gradually to classify students. I did 40 questions and am confident that I got the lowest score of 7 points.

However, the exam questions are mainly in the program that we have reviewed, if we review carefully, average students can also do well in 60% of the exam.

If candidates review the content of the 12th grade program carefully, they can do 40 questions. Overall, the Math test is not difficult. I did about 45 questions, the remaining 5 questions I am not sure about are about graphs and functions, finding the volume of a prism, the value of an expression... almost all of my classmates could not do this question,” Duc Huan added.
