"Unfortunately, next year the students will lose the joy of guessing the exam questions!"

Candidates took the high school graduation exam in Literature this morning, June 27th.

At the exam center at Ban Co Secondary School (District 3), Tran Le Quang Minh, a student from Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School, assessed that "guessing the exam questions" in Literature has been a "specialty" of students for many years. "Every year we explode with stories about who guessed correctly and who guessed wrong, so not being able to 'guess the questions' next year will definitely be a little sad. But I believe this is also an opportunity to change our way of thinking when writing essays," the male student said.

Minh added that because this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory, "renowned throughout the world and shaking the earth," he focused on works related to the nation and its people, such as "The Country" (Nguyen Khoa Diem), "Viet Bac" (To Huu), and " The Ferryman of the Da River" (Nguyen Tuan). "I hope to achieve 8-9 points in the exam subjects," the male student, who was admitted early to Van Lang University, shared.

Dang Huynh Xuan Nghi, a fellow student at the same school, believes that the literature exam starting next year will more accurately assess students' abilities because there will be no prior preparation, and students won't be able to "guess" the exam questions. "Taking exams outside of textbooks will encourage creativity and eliminate the trend of 'guessing the exam questions' like Kaito Kid and similar accounts. But I also feel it's a shame that students will lose the fun of 'guessing the exam questions'," the female student said.

Despite scoring 961 points on the National University of Ho Chi Minh City's aptitude test, Nghi said she still felt uneasy and wanted to do her best in the high school graduation exam, hoping to get around 9 points in math, chemistry, and biology. "I'm not too worried because my aptitude test score is quite competitive, but I also feel pressured to get 27 points because I want to 'secure' a place at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy," Nghi explained.

THN, a student at Marie Curie High School, said she "feels lucky" to be in her final year studying the old general education curriculum. According to N., it's better to have study materials than to not know what you'll be facing when you enter the exam room. "The excitement and joy of 'guessing the questions' will definitely be gone, but students will also no longer be confined to any framework and will have more creative freedom," N. commented.

Ngo Nguyen Hoang Oanh, a student at the Western Australian International School, believes that the current approach of reviewing without fixed "anchor points" is both an opportunity and a challenge for younger students. Meanwhile, to prepare for today's literature exam, Vu Hoang Quan, a student at Nguyen Thi Dieu High School, said he used TikTok to review the key points of literary works.
