According to the exam, the structure of the Math subject did not surprise candidates. Having thoroughly reviewed the knowledge content and types of questions, many candidates were excited about their exam.

At the exam site of Phan Dinh Phung High School, Hoan Kiem District, Bao Van shared: “I feel like a burden has been lifted after finishing the last subject of the exam. Today’s exam is similar to the one I reviewed last night, so it is not too difficult to pass. I estimate that I will get 9 points if I get question c of the geometry test correct.”

Candidates are excited because the exam is familiar.

“I found the test quite easy. The scope of Math knowledge is in the curriculum. More than 80% of the questions are basic knowledge, including recognition, understanding, and application at a normal level. Advanced application questions account for about 7-8%. Candidates who are good at Math will not have difficulty getting 8 points,” said Pham Tien Manh, a candidate at the exam site of Nguyen Du Secondary School, Hoan Kiem District.

Commenting on the 10th grade entrance exam for Math, some teachers said that the exam of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training still maintains a stable structure compared to recent years. The exam structure still includes 5 major problems, each problem consists of many small ideas arranged in order from easy to difficult with very familiar types of questions to avoid causing confusion and confusion for candidates. On the other hand, the exam has a slight increase in difficulty compared to 2022-2023, with good differentiation.

Excited faces left the exam room.
Parents are the ones who always encourage and accompany their children.

Mr. Hong Tri Quang, a Math teacher at Hocmai Education System, commented: With this exam, the average score of candidates is expected to be around 6 - 7 points.

Specifically, Exercise 1 is a familiar type of question and does not cause difficulties for candidates. Exercise 2 maintains stability in terms of difficulty and type of question. The first idea is a problem solved by setting up an equation - a system of equations with practical elements. Candidates need to be able to analyze the question, choose keywords and key data to solve the problem. The second idea is a question related to spatial geometry, candidates only need to apply the correct formula to find the answer.

Exercise 3 is a familiar type of exercise with a slight increase in difficulty (item 2b). The structure of the problem is similar to recent years, including questions about solving a system of equations to the first degree and questions about the intersection between the graphs of two functions, in which item 2b requires candidates to be quick in the transformation process and flexibly apply Viet's theorem to handle it.

Lesson 4 is similar to the previous years' exam, this is a geometry problem and the types of problems that appear in the questions are all familiar types such as proving inscribed quadrilaterals, proving equal angles, proving equality and proving parallelism. And the question c of the problem is always a difficult question, intended to classify candidates.

Lesson 5 is still about inequalities and is a classification question of the test. The problem increases in difficulty and to solve this problem, candidates need to flexibly apply the skills of transforming inequalities and apply appropriately and at the right time the given data.

Parents were also happy when the exam ended.

Thus, after 3 exam sessions, about 115,000 candidates in Hanoi have finished the entrance exam for non-specialized public high schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

During the exam days, the facilities were well-prepared, the exam rooms were airy and cool; the invigilators gave gentle and meticulous instructions; the support forces (police, volunteers...) were always attentive and dedicated to serving were good impressions of the candidates and their parents during the exam.
