With a total score of 118, Vietnam ranked 33rd out of 108 countries and territories participating in the IMO this year, down 27 places compared to last year (6th place). This is also the lowest achievement of the Vietnamese team in 50 years of competing in the IMO.

The 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad will be held in the UK from July 11 to 22, with July 16 and 17 being the two official exam days. Each exam day, students will have to solve three problems in 4.5 hours. The maximum score for each problem is 7. Based on the total score of the two exams, the organizing committee will rank the prizes from high to low.

IMO has been held annually since 1959. Vietnam joined this playground in 1974, now half a century. Last year, all 6 students competing in IMO won medals including two gold, two silver and two bronze.
