The English exam is not differentiated like normal subjects in four levels and there are difficult and easy questions mixed in each exam code. Personally, I think that this year's exam questions are classified intoI took some questions in the reading comprehension section with two contents. One reading passage is about shopping in smart stores and one is about using computer drawing to replace traditional artists. Both of these passages are not in the textbook and there are quite a lot of new words but I can answer them. I think I can get over 7 points in this test.

Candidate Tran Thi Thuy Linh - a student at Huynh Thuc Khang High School also said that compared to the sample test and the practice test, the 2022 high school graduation exam is not much more difficult. However, the number of questions she is sure to get right is only 20 - 25. She has done all the remaining questions but she is not really confident. She thinks that with foreign languages, one must have a fair amount of vocabulary to be able to do it, it is difficult to guess accurately.
