As for Nguyen Truong Giang, also a candidate at the Luong Ngoc Quyen High School examination center, the first thing he thought about after the exam wasn't the answers or the score: "I was very nervous, but now I feel very relaxed because I've completed 12 years of schooling. I want to thank the police officers, the invigilating teachers, and the volunteer youth who helped and supported me throughout the exam days," Giang expressed.

Those words of gratitude were not accidental; throughout the exam period, at 47 examination centers across the province, thousands of officials, teachers, staff, along with police, medical , electricity, youth union, and local government personnel, participated in serving the exam.
