The 2025 high school graduation math exam is considered highly differentiating, but its 4-page length has drawn criticism from some teachers who describe it as "convoluted." Others, however, believe the format allows for a more "precise" evaluation of students.

This year's 10th-grade entrance exams emphasized real-world problems and reduced technical complexity, a positive development in the first year students nationwide took the exam under the new curriculum, according to several educators.
