Taking advantage of the cool morning weather, Hoang Nhu Quynh - a student at Do Thanh Secondary School, reviewed her lessons while having a sandwich.

Talking more about her thoughts before the exam, Quynh said: Although in Yen Thanh, my school has quite a few students who choose to take the exam at Dien Chau 2 High School. In my class, it is almost 100%. Although the competition rate today is quite high, I hope I will do well because Literature is my strong subject. Personally, I want the topic to be the poem Visiting Uncle Ho's Mausoleum because I have studied this lesson very carefully.

In class 9C of Do Thanh Secondary School, Quynh is also one of the students with the best academic performance.

However, before this important exam, Mr. Hoang Van Ly - Quynh's father still could not hide his excitement: Quynh is the eldest daughter in the family, so when she took the exam, my whole family was worried, but she herself could not sleep. I had to encourage her to stay calm and believe in her abilities.

Điểm thi Trường THPT Diễn Châu 2 là một trong những điểm thi có số lượng thí sinh đông nhất. Vì vậy, ngoài giáo viên của trường, nhà trường phải huy động thêm giáo viên ở bậc THCS làm công tác giám thị. Trước giờ thi, các giám thị sẽ bắt thăm các phòng thi để đảm bảo sự khách quan
Dien Chau 2 High School is one of the test sites with the largest number of candidates. Therefore, in addition to the school's teachers, the school has to mobilize secondary school teachers to work as invigilators.

Sharing the same sentiment, Ho Anh Quan - Dien Phong Secondary School said: This year, Dien Chau 2 High School has a very large number of candidates taking the exam and only more than 50% of candidates have a chance to pass. Therefore, I think I cannot be subjective and must try to get the best results.

The entire examination board of Dien Chau 2 High School has 960 candidates. Meanwhile, this school year the school only has 565 quotas, so this is really a huge pressure for the candidates and for the school in the organization work.

Teacher Tran Huy Thang - Principal of the school and Chairman of the Examination Council also said: The large number of candidates registering for the school is an opportunity for the school to select quality students. Therefore, before the exam took place, we organized thorough training and required the invigilators to monitor the exam seriously, follow the regulations correctly so that candidates can do the test with peace of mind and create fairness for all students.

Also this morning, at 66 other testing locations across the province, more than 35,000 candidates officially entered the first subject of the 10th grade entrance exam.
