With 2 parts of multiple choice and essay, candidates competed to win prizes, such as diamond medals (top 3% of students with the highest scores in each grade), gold medals (top 15% of students with the highest scores), silver medals, bronze medals and consolation prizes.

Before the final round, member countries hold local preliminary rounds before May each year to select the best candidates to compete.

The final round exam of the WMI 2025 international mathematics competition is assessed to have a tight structure, rich in creativity, clear classification and close connection with real life.

Exams from elementary to high school level, each block has its own exam, not only testing basic math knowledge but also focusing on training logical thinking, problem solving ability, and application to practical situations.

In particular, many questions incorporate facts related to the year 2025 – creating topicality, stimulating curiosity and connecting reality for candidates.

The specific results of the Vietnam team are as follows:

The exams at the primary level are vividly constructed, close to real-life situations such as calculating school hours, dividing cakes, folding paper, shopping, calendars, etc., while the exams at the secondary and high school levels demonstrate mathematical depth through problems on spatial geometry, probability combinations, logical reasoning, advanced arithmetic and optimization.

The richness of content, diversity of forms and openness in problem posing have helped the WMI 2025 international math exam not only become a test of mathematical ability but also an opportunity for global students to practice their thinking, creativity and ability to apply mathematics to the real world.

The WMI International Mathematics Competition was co-founded by the President of the Chinese Mathematical Society, and a professor at the University of California in 2013 to connect academic institutions and educational organizations from around the world.

The exam is held in rotation in countries such as: China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Korea, Japan...
