Most students taking the entrance exam at Tran Phu High School said that this year's English exam for 10th grade was quite easy, not too tricky, and mainly covered core knowledge they had learned.

Candidate Minh Duc (from Tran Phu High School) commented that this year's English exam was quite easy. Duc said that the grammar questions revolved around the core topics of the second semester. Anyone who studied would easily score a perfect 10.

"The easiest part was the reading comprehension section on the topic of 'renting books,' which only revolved around questions like what the student's name was, the name of the book, and the rental period. I found the questions in this section too easy. I predict this year's exam will be full of perfect scores in English," Duc said.

When asked, some candidates said they finished the exam in just 30 minutes, even though the English exam was allotted 90 minutes.

Also saying that the exam was "too easy," candidate Gia Han (from Phan Chau Trinh High School) shared: "I finished in about 30 minutes. Looking around, most of the other students had also finished very early."

This year's English exam was extremely easy. But I'm worried because the first two exams, Literature and Foreign Language, were easy, so I predict the Math exam will be tough."

Mr. Mai Tan Linh, deputy director of the Da Nang Department of Education and Training, said that on the first day of the exam, 101 candidates were absent from the literature exam and 105 candidates were absent from the foreign language exam.

No candidates or invigilators at the examination centers violated the regulations.

Tomorrow morning, candidates will take the mathematics exam, with a time limit of 120 minutes.
