Math exam clearly differentiates, not many perfect scores

According to math teachers of the Hoc MaiEducation System, this year's high school graduation math exam was built according to the structure and format of the reference exam announced by the Ministry of Education and Training, closely following the program content, mainly the 12th grade program and in line with the innovation orientation.

With a duration of 90 minutes, the test consists of 3 parts with 34 questions, specifically as follows:

Part 1: Multiple choice test with 12 questions at the recognition and comprehension levels.

Part 2: True or false multiple choice questions include 4 questions, each question includes 4 questions arranged from recognition to application level.

Part 3: Short answer multiple choice questions include 6 questions and are all at the application level.

The exam has clear differentiation and diverse question formats, requiring candidates to master the knowledge and skills according to the 2018 General Education Program, especially the ability to relate to reality.

In particular, this year's math exam has the appearance of true/false and multiple choice short answer questions, which are outstanding new features, requiring candidates to have reading comprehension, logical thinking and problem solving skills to handle. This is considered a step forward towards the goal of accurately and comprehensively assessing learners' abilities, a key requirement in current educational innovation.

The knowledge content in the exam is not outside the program, focusing on the 12th grade program and still has knowledge sections from grades 10 and 11; the thinking level is 40% at the level of knowing, 30% at the level of understanding and 30% at the level of application. To complete these contents well, candidates need to have a comprehensive grasp of the basic knowledge, have the steps to think, reason and solve basic mathematical problems.

The highlight of the exam is that the questions have integrated elements, using meaningful contexts associated with images, practical situations in life, science and technology (such as economic and technical problems...) accounting for a large proportion, focusing on the form of true/false multiple choice questions and short answer multiple choice questions.

Candidates need to have the skills to read, understand and process information; logical thinking and situation analysis as well as the ability to apply knowledge into practice to be able to handle it well. In addition, the questions in these 2 parts have a good level of differentiation, requiring learners to have a good grasp of skills, a good knowledge base, and know how to connect knowledge in the knowledge chains they have learned to handle it (for example, question 2 - short answer - code 0119).

Math teachers of the Hoc Mai Education System also said that the content of the exam focuses on developing self-study ability, analytical thinking, mathematical reasoning and the ability to apply knowledge to solve practical situations, closely following the requirements of interdisciplinary integration. It is expected that with this exam, the number of candidates achieving absolute scores in math this year will not be many.

From this year's exam, teachers believe that to prepare for the 2026 high school graduation exam, 2k8 students (born in 2008) need to develop a study plan and practice systematically early on. Strengthening the knowledge base, while practicing logical thinking, reading comprehension and problem-solving skills will be the key for students to confidently enter the 2026 high school graduation exam.
