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 literature exam will include the essay "Country" by Nguyen Khoa Diem: "I feel calm and confident, I am confident that I can get 8 points, and if I fail, I can still do that level or higher."

Trong Duc said that although literature is not his strong point, he is not too worried. Last night, Duc slept early to take the exam this morning. Duc used the combination of Math-Physics-Chemistry to apply to the University of Science and Technology, so the literature section only requires above average. Duc predicted that the exam would include poetry: "I see that I haven't written poetry in the past few years, 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.")
