The first 10th grade exam in Nghe An, some candidates forgot their exam cards and ID cards.

At 6:30 a.m., at the Examination Council of Cua Lo 2 High School (Cua Lo town), many candidates arrived early at the examination site to proactively complete the procedures before taking the exam.

From the school gate, the exam support volunteer team was present to support candidates and receive supplies and items that were not allowed in the exam room.

Located in Cua Lo town, for many years, the benchmark score of Cua Lo 2 High School has been lower than that of Cua Lo 1 High School and many other schools in the region. Therefore, there are quite a few students from other areas outside Cua Lo town taking the exam.

As for this year, according to statistics, many students in Nghi Thach commune (Nghi Loc district) and many students in Vinh city registered to take the exam. Therefore, although the Department of Education and Training increased the quota of 1 class for the school, the pressure at this exam site is higher than previous years.

Candidate Nguyen Gia Bao (student of Hai Hoa Secondary School, Cua Lo town) said that his house is closer to Nghi Loc 3 High School (Nghi Loc district), but he has registered his wish to enter Cua Lo 2 High School. The reason is that the standard score in previous years to enter Cua Lo 2 High School was about 15 points/3 subjects, lower than other schools in the area, the chance of admission is higher.

At school, Gia Bao and his friends had just finished reviewing 2 days ago, and only took 1 day off to complete the exam procedures so that today they could officially take the first exam (Literature). "I will try my best to do the test. Previously, in the most recent mock test, I got 17 points. Hopefully, when I take the real test, I will get the expected results," Gia Bao shared.

Talking about this year's exam, teacher Truong Cong Thang - Vice Chairman of the Examination Council of Cua Lo 2 High School said that this year the school has 481 candidates registered for the exam but only has 360 quotas.

However, this number is expected to fluctuate because after the exam, candidates are allowed to change their preferences once. Before the exam, the school inspected and reviewed the facilities. All exam rooms have fans, lighting systems, and drinking water. There are areas in the school that are under repair, and construction will stop during the exam days and there will be security forces to ensure exam safety.

After completing the procedures, at exactly 8am this morning, the candidates began their first exam, Literature. This morning, at the exam site, some candidates forgot their exam cards and ID cards.

Many candidates intended to return to get their papers, but the invigilators guided them back to the exam room, made a commitment, and had it confirmed by the teacher and two students from the same school to create favorable conditions for the candidates to take the exam.
