Recorded on the morning of June 2 at Saigon University, District 5 (HCMC), most candidates came to the exam site in a relaxed mood. Quynh Tram, a student at Vo Van Kiet High School ( Vinh Long ), said that because the time for the first round of competency assessment and the semester exam at school were quite close together, it was difficult to review both, so Tram decided to only register for the second round. After studying the questions in the first round of exam, Tram found that the exam content was quite suitable for her learning ability. "However, I studied math, physics, and chemistry, so I did not review the history and geography sections very carefully," Tram shared. As for Luu Thanh Luc, a student at Tra On High School (Vinh Long), he also only took the second round of exam. Luc said he intended to study medicine. Many universities currently do not have a method of considering competency assessment scores for medicine, so Luc initially did not take the first round of exam.

But recently, Luc changed his direction to want to study mechatronics at the University of Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University), so he took the second round of capacity assessment to be considered for admission to the school.

At the exam site of the University of Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University), many candidates took the second round of the exam to improve their scores in the first round. Candidate Ha Anh shared: "In the first round, I got 680 points, I think this result is okay compared to my ability. This time, I have prepared carefully and hope to have better results. I came to the exam with a completely comfortable mentality and considered it a test". Similarly, candidate Van Phuc, a student at Nguyen Du High School, said: "After knowing the results of the first round, I was a bit disappointed, probably because I had too high expectations. Today, I will try to complete the exam better, the experience of the first round also makes me more confident. This is also considered as a re-evaluation of my ability before entering the bigger exam".
