According to Thanh Nien reporters at VKU, the main location of the exam, all facilities have been upgraded. The exam rooms are equipped with air conditioning, standard lighting, and standard tables and chairs, creating the best conditions for candidates to focus on their exams. Information technology infrastructure and internet connections have been checked and upgraded to ensure stable connections for exam organization, grading, and communications.

The resting area, library, canteen, and function rooms are also beautifully decorated and ready to serve hundreds of contestants, parents, and international judges.

A surveillance camera system and professional security forces are deployed to ensure absolute safety. In terms of expertise, VKU cooperates with the Department of Education and Training of Da Nang City and the International Mathematical Commission to organize many training sessions for the team of invigilators and examiners, to ensure fairness, transparency and strict compliance with regulations.

All staff are equipped with situation handling skills and professional working style.
