The test is translated into Vietnamese, candidates take the test on a bilingual English-Vietnamese test paper. The test includes multiple choice questions at levels from easy to difficult related to many applied fields of mathematics including algebra, geometry, logical thinking, magic matrices...

The representative of the organizing committee said that the contest was held to create a useful intellectual playground for students, helping them have the opportunity to interact and exchange experiences with friends who have a passion for mathematics nationwide, thereby deeply integrating internationally, especially in the field of applied mathematics.

This year, Hanoi is the city with the largest number of candidates taking the exam with 14,000 candidates at 21 exam locations.
