The remaining medals went to students from the High School for Gifted Students of Natural Sciences, Hanoi National University; Lam Son High School for Gifted Students, Thanh Hoa province and Le Hong Phong High School for Gifted Students, Nam Dinh province.
Previously, Duat was not the best student in the Chemistry class at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted and had never had any excellent student title in his junior high school years. However, from a student who was eliminated from the national team in grade 11, Duat made an effort to win first prize in Chemistry in the National Excellent Student Competition for grade 12.
Notably, from 7th place in national achievements, Duat rose to become one of the three best students in the selection round for the Vietnamese Chemistry team to participate in the International Chemistry Olympiad in the Czech Republic.
