Many candidates are satisfied because the Math exam has high differentiation.

The test is highly differentiated.

Candidate Ngo Quang Thang - Viet Thuat High School (Vinh City) is placing his first choice at Hanoi University of Architecture. Therefore, in addition to the aptitude test, Math and Physics will be his university entrance exam subjects.

After reviewing quite thoroughly, after completing 90 minutes of the test, this candidate said: The math test consists of 50 questions, of which 10 questions differentiate candidates. I myself have done question 43 and hope to get 8.6 points. This is also the goal I set for this exam.

With the nature of a “2 in 1” exam, Ngo Quyet Thang also said that he likes the exam to have high differentiation like this year’s exam, because “if the exam is easy, many other candidates will also get high scores and push up the base score”. In the remaining decisive exam tomorrow, he also hopes that the exam will not be too easy so that good and excellent students have the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.

Also at the Le Viet Thuat High School exam site, candidate Phan Thi Ngoc Mai said, “I got about 8+ and was quite satisfied with this year’s exam because it was within my ability, close to the exam structure, and highly differentiated. The difficult questions focused on sections such as finding the largest and smallest values, and types of equations.”

Previously, with the first prize in the provincial Literature competition, this candidate had applied early and was admitted to the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics. However, this candidate said that he will try his best to do well in the remaining exams to have the opportunity to be admitted to the Academy of Journalism and Communication or the National Economics University in Hanoi.

Many candidates "exhausted", randomly circled

The cool weather continued to support candidates in Nghia Dan area in the second exam. Coming out of the exam room, candidate Nguyen Phuong Thao - Co Do High School commented that the Math exam was not tricky and was close to the sample exam given by the Ministry of Education and Training. She started doing the questions at the recognition and understanding level, these were the questions that needed to be done quickly, not wasting time, and spent the remaining time on the application and high application level questions to get points.

Although she is quite good at Math, she still struggled with the last 10 questions when she started doing the test. Many of the questions required candidates to apply many formulas and solve many steps to find the correct answer. With this test, Thao hopes to get about 8 - 8.5 points.

After completing the Math exam and leaving the exam area, many candidates in Anh Son district said that the exam followed the curriculum closely and had clear differentiation.

Leaving the exam room in an excited mood, Phuc Tien Dat, from the Examination Council of Anh Son 1 High School, said: The first 40 questions are familiar types of questions that we have practiced a lot during our studies. From question 41 onwards, there is differentiation, requiring students to 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.

Student Tran Vinh Tu at the examination board of Anh Son 3 High School shared: We have been familiar with the structure of this year's Math exam through the mock exams. The exam consists of 50 multiple choice questions, I did the first 40 questions very quickly, the next 10 questions started to increase in difficulty. However, the exam was not tricky, it was still within the curriculum that I had been taught and reviewed by my teachers at school. I found the exam quite suitable, I finished the test about 10 minutes early, with the results of the test, I hope to get 8 points in Math.

At the Quy Hop High School exam site, when asked, many candidates said that the Math test was difficult, especially for students who are not majoring in Math. The test has a structure of 50 questions, difficult from question 36 onwards. Vi Khanh Truong - a student majoring in Math at Quy Hop High School, commented that "the test is clearly differentiated from the first 36 questions for graduation purposes and the next 14 questions for differentiation points. I considered the A00 Police Academy and got about 8-8.4 points".

Candidate Vo Thi Quynh Nga - class 12A1, Quy Hop High School said: "This year's exam was difficult for us, quite different from the structure we reviewed. I did well on the first 40 questions, but the following questions required a lot of knowledge. I considered the Banking Academy and thought I could only get 7-8 points."

After the Math exam, Lo Thi Le, a student at Con Cuong High School, shared: “The exam had a high level of differentiation. I calculated and solved the first multiple-choice questions. However, I did not do very well in the last questions. If I calculate the total number of correct answers in the exam solution, I got about 55%, definitely not less than 5 points.”

Meanwhile, Luong Thi Hoa, a student at Con Cuong High School, shared: "This year, I had to skip more than 15 difficult math questions because I couldn't figure out the answer. I hope I will get 5 points."

Present at this testing site, a Math teacher at Con Cuong High School said: This year's exam is generally suitable for students, ensuring "enough" for students who are only considering graduation. There are some difficult questions that are "heavier" than the 2023 exam, aiming to classify students, completely worthy and meeting the admission requirements of Universities and Colleges.

At the Dang Thuc Hua High School exam site in Vo Liet Commune (Thanh Chuong), after the second exam session, the candidates walked out of the exam site with many different feelings. Le Thi My Duyen, a 12D student, said: For me, the Math exam was moderately difficult, some questions were "tricky". Out of 50 questions, I can only confirm that I got about 25 correct, the rest I marked based on my preferences, not sure if they were right or wrong. I predict that my answer will be about 5 or 6 points.

Unlike the cheerful faces in the morning when finishing the Literature exam, after the Math exam this afternoon, candidates from Do Luong left the exam room with many different emotions, most of the candidates said that this year's Math exam was quite difficult compared to previous years. Tran Van Tung, a student of class 12B - Do Luong Continuing Education Center said: "I found the exam a bit difficult, the last 10 to 15 questions were very difficult. Thanks to careful review, I was able to do the test, I was able to do 40 questions."

Sharing the same opinion, Tran Hai Dang, a student of class 12T3 - Do Luong 1 High School, shared: "The Math test this afternoon was more difficult than previous years. If you can do questions 37, 38, 39, those who are good students will be able to do question 45. As for me, I can do question 42, I expect to get 8.5 points"./.
