Duong Quynh Anh, a student from Nguyen Trai High School, said she was confident she got about 90% correct. “English is my strong subject, so I felt very comfortable and confident with this exam. The questions weren't too difficult compared to the ones I've practiced with before. About 5 questions were slightly challenging and likely to differentiate candidates, but I'm still confident I can do well.”

Minh is confident he got about 45-46 out of 50 questions right. With this exam, Minh is confident he can score 9 points or higher and hopes to be admitted to Hanoi University of Pharmacy.

Pham Gia Huy, a student from Nhan Chinh High School, assessed that compared to last year's English exam, this year's exam was relatively easy, with not many new vocabulary words appearing. Some question types from last year also did not appear in this year's exam.

Huy liked the themes of all three readings, which related to littering in the marine environment, the impact of technology on students from an expert's perspective, and the differences in his own personality compared to others.

"These topics are quite relatable and directly related to many issues that young people care about, so I felt very interested when doing the assignment," Huy said.

Huy completed this test in 15 minutes and is confident he will score above 9 points.
