After 2 days of “passing the gate”, more than 1 million students have officially said goodbye to 12 years of studying to reach their own dreams. Putting aside worries about their scores, they have prepared for themselves a plan to “relax” with family, friends… to “make up” for the days of hard studying.

Le Dang Doanh (student of Da Tri Tue High School) shared: “The first thing I thought of was meeting my classmates to share my joy, from tomorrow I will have to take responsibility for my own path. I have also fulfilled my family's expectations to the fullest.”

Dang Doanh also tried hard to prepare but was still worried about Math. "Because the test has a clear level of differentiation in the last 10 questions, my academic ability is not very good, I hope I can get enough points to pass my first choice," said the male student of Da Tri Tue High School.

Mom is always my companion.

Unlike Dang Doanh, Nguyen Duc Duy (Ly Thai To High School) will officially step into the modeling world. Duy confided: “In addition to registering for my first choice at Hanoi University of Architecture, I will go to take fashion model photos tomorrow. My close friends and I will have our first “backpacking” trip to experience the promised lands, which we have planned during our recent review process.”

For many parents, before the exam, they are full of worries, but after the exam, they feel like a burden has been lifted. Ms. Le Thu Duong (Ha Dong district) shared: “If my child is worried about taking the exam, I, as a parent, am worried tenfold. My child’s exam is no different from my parents’ exam. My child has completed his/her task excellently, so no matter what the result is, he/she should still relax. I am so happy that I no longer have to be reminded to study every night, or to look at the clock to pick up and drop off my child to extra classes. Tomorrow, my whole family will take my child back to the countryside for summer vacation and travel for a month.”

Candidates plan to "relax" after "passing the imperial examination".
