In 2024, I had the chance to work at GOSU as a UX/UI Design Intern for the Math Rocket project.
Our goal was to accompany students on their journey to university.
Students can take multiple-choice math tests, including real exams from 2017 onwards and practice tests provided by Math Rocket. Each test's grades are recorded and displayed in the Progress section as part of a line graph, enabling users to track their performance over time.
My responsibility
I researched and designed features for Math Rocket. While designing the app, I created responsive screens with auto layouts and built a design system (including 20+ components) for consistency and resusability.

At the top of the content area, students can view statistics on their test performance, making it easy to track their progress.
Below this, any unfinished or unsubmitted tests are prominently displayed for easy continuation.
Additionally, Math Rocket offers shortcuts to frequently used functions, enhancing efficiency for experienced users.
Two tab views are available for practical exams and past real exams.
Variants of the test ticket component have been created to clearly visualize the status of each test.
Students can enable "Test Mode" to simulate a real test experience with a timer or disable it to check answers and explanations during practice.
In "Test Mode," after submitting their answers, users are directed to the Results screen, where they can view the answer key and their final score. By selecting "Check Detailed Answer Key" or tapping on rows within the results table, students can access detailed explanations for each question.
Math Rocket offers a Learning area where users can study 10 math themes included in the test format provided by Vietnam's Ministry of Education.
At the top of the content area, students can find two essential resources: Notes on How to Do the Tests and Format of the Tests. Math Rocket believes these are crucial for students to understand when preparing for the exam.
While many learning platforms use leaderboards to foster competition, Math Rocket prioritizes encouragement and self-motivation.
Instead of a leaderboard, Math Rocket features a line graph that records and displays users' test results, offering a clear visualization of their own progress over time.
Problem: How should Math Rocket be if the test format changes to essay-based?
Considering the challenges of inputting complex math operations on mobile devices and the current limitations in Vietnamese handwriting and math recognition technologies, I proposed that Math Rocket allow students to submit images of their handwritten solutions.
Consequently, AI-powered grading tools will not be integrated. Instead, teachers will manually review and grade these submissions, requiring the development of a web portal for providing detailed comments and feedback.
