After the exam session, many candidates left feeling relaxed because this year's Mathematics exam was not difficult and was suitable for students. Its structure was similar to the illustrative exam provided by the Ministry of Education and Training beforehand. Candidate Nguyen Tien Dung from Buon Ma Thuot High School commented, "The Mathematics exam was manageable, not difficult, with the last 10 questions being somewhat challenging to classify the candidates. I performed quite well, and I predict that I will score around 9 points."

Sharing a similar sentiment about the Mathematics exam, candidate Le Ba Tai from Le Quy Don High School believes that the Math test was more challenging than the illustrative exam provided beforehand. The first 35 questions were manageable for students with average academic abilities, while the last 15 questions required a higher level of knowledge application. Personally, he was able to answer around 80% of the exam and is confident of achieving a score of 7 or above.
