Standing out with her absolute achievement in the 2025 high school graduation exam, Nguyen Le Hien Mai has become the most interested person among young people and students across the country in recent days.

Hien Mai shared that since her first years of middle school, she had a passion for Chemistry. During her studies, she always tried to study and learn from her classmates and schoolmates and won prizes in provincial competitions for excellent students.

“I spend a lot of time studying, because that is the most important thing for every student. But in my free time, I spend some time watching movies, using social networks and participating in extracurricular programs to gain a broader understanding of the development and transformation of society, as well as youth trends…”, Hien Mai shared.

Mai shared that during the high school graduation exam preparation process, she "isolated" herself from social networks, focusing on studying and resting. "Every day, I arrange my study schedule to fit the program so as not to affect my health. The closer the exam gets, the less I study, take time to rest, and balance my nutrition to be healthier and confident when taking the exam," Hien Mai revealed.

Hien Mai said that the most important factor that helped her get a high score was to always try and stay calm when entering the exam room. “Getting a perfect score is what I always wanted. During my studies, I always tried my best every day, took the tests, then looked for and corrected my mistakes and gradually improved my knowledge,” Mai said.

Revealing about her learning process, the female student revealed that in order to get good results, Hien Mai paid attention to lectures in class to grasp the knowledge and understand the nature of the lesson. After that, she researched more documents to successfully solve the exam questions.

“During my studies, I paid attention to the teachers' lectures and spent time researching documents and exam questions to come up with the best solutions to solve the questions,” Hien Mai shared.

The female student from Phu Tho has not revealed her future aspirations. But she believes that no matter which school she attends or what job she does, she will try harder because she has been noticed by many people. "No matter which school I attend, I will try my best to have the best academic results so that I can contribute to building the country in the future," Hien Mai expressed.

After achieving the top score in group A00, which was published in the press, many people were interested, sent compliments and congratulations, which created a bit of pressure for her. That is, she had to try harder to be worthy of the educational efforts of her teachers and everyone. “My grandparents were sick in bed, but when they heard that I was the top scorer, they stood up to congratulate me. That was the happiest moment after achieving the maximum score in the high school graduation exam,” Hien Mai shared.

During her three years of high school, Hien Mai won first prize in the provincial excellent student competition in the 2021-2022 school year in chemistry; second prize in the provincial excellent student competition in the 2024-2025 school year in chemistry; her average score in grade 12 was 9.5, in which math, physics, and chemistry remained at 9.8 - 9.9.
