Talking to VietNamNet, Dr. of Mathematics Tran Nam Dung, Vice Principal of the Gifted High School, said that he has no comment on specialized Math, but with non-specialized Math, such a score is really a bit worrying.

According to Dr. Dung, non-specialized exams are usually quite easy, if students cannot get 2 points then there must be a problem. "The problem could be in the exam, for example, it is too difficult or too strange, and it could also be in teaching and learning, capacity development is not enough" - Dr. Dung said.

Other subjects are also bad.

The scores of other subjects in the 10th grade mock test were equally poor. For example, in the specialized literature subject, out of 164 tests, 23 had scores from 0 to 2. 134 tests had scores from 5 or below, accounting for 81.7%. The average score of the specialized literature subject was 3.77.
