Candidate Minh Anh at Thu Duc High School exam site said that Literature is the subject she is most confident in. Minh Anh predicted that this year's essay will include the essay "Country" by Nguyen Khoa Diem: "I feel calm and confident, I am confident that I can get 8 points and even if I fail, I can still do that level or higher."

As for Trong Duc, although literature is not his strong point, he does not feel too worried. Last night, Duc went to bed early to take the exam this morning. Duc used the combination of Math-Physics-Chemistry to apply to the University of Technology, so the literature section only requires above average. Duc predicted that the exam would include poetry: "I see that in the past few years, I haven't written poetry, so I think it will be poetry. My best poems are Viet Bac and Dat Nuoc. I think if I write those two poems, I will get above 7 or 8 points."
