Hanoi alone has more than 124,000 candidates taking the exam at 233 exam sites. Of which, there are 229 exam sites for candidates following the 2018 generaleducation program and 4 exam sites for candidates following the 2006 general education program (at Chu Van An High School for the Gifted (Tay Ho District), Ly Son Secondary School (Long Bien District), Ha Dong Secondary School (Ha Dong District) and Hong Thai High School (Dan Phuong District).
The weather in the morning is quite cool, making it convenient for candidates and parents to travel to the exam site.
At Yen Hoa Secondary School (Cau Giay District), from 6am, many candidates and parents were present at the exam site. Most candidates were relaxed and confident before this important moment. The handshakes, advice and encouragement from parents, although brief and quick, were enough to boost the spirit of the candidates before entering the exam room. Candidates
Many parents said they felt more secure that the current high school graduation exam was not as stressful as before. However, this was the first year the high school graduation exam was organized according to the 2018 General Education Program, so there were still certain concerns.
Ms. Tran Thu Lien (residing in Cau Giay district) - mother of a candidate at Yen Hoa High School exam site - shared: "I believe in my child's academic ability. This morning on the way to the exam, he encouraged me not to worry too much, so I feel reassured."
Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong (residing in Nghia Tan, Cau Giay), whose child is taking the exam at Nam Trung Yen Secondary School, said: "This year, my child wants to major in semiconductors at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. He recently took the SAT certificate exam, so there is no more pressure to get high scores in all graduation exams, and my family is more assured when he takes the exam. In recent years, candidates have had many options such as thinking assessment exams, taking certificates such as IELTS, SAT... so the university entrance exam is no longer too difficult, it is just a condition for graduation recognition".
Waking up early to take their child to the exam at Nam Trung Yen Secondary School, Ngoc Mai (living in Thanh Oai district) did not put pressure on their child about the exam results. "My family does not put too much pressure on my child. My child has good academic performance, so my family lets him choose the school and major he likes. If the results are not as expected, he still has many other options and I support him," said Ms. Mai.
