Many people believe that if the real exam has the same level of difficulty as the reference exam, this will be a challenge for students applying to the school. And if they do not have the ability to think and reason, solving questions like this will take a lot of time.

Sharing with VietNamNet , a math teacher in Hanoi commented that, in terms of math-related questions, this test is at the level of assessing difficult thinking. "The test is long and difficult, and must be completed in a short time, requiring 5th graders to have good math skills and must practice to be able to do 60% or more. To solve this question, students must have a talent for math - just like the name of the school suggests," this teacher shared.

Mr. Phi Trung Duc (teacher and also the leader of the 9th grade Math group at Trung Vuong Secondary School, Hanoi) commented: "This is a test with a new, rich, and highly practical multiple-choice section; the essay section is familiar and relatively traditional but still ensures high classification. The level of this test is suitable for students who intend to take exams to high-quality schools."
