This candidate also said: In my opinion, personal value is assessed based on many factors and it is important to understand yourself first and then consider community values ​​to adjust yourself and be able to contribute more to the community. In this part of the exam, I think I did well. However, the analysis of 3 stanzas of the poem "Fishing Boats" is a bit long because we have always analyzed only 2 stanzas. I think, compared to expectations, I am not really satisfied because I wrote shorter than usual.

Sharing the same opinion, student Ho Thao My - Vinh Pedagogical Practice School said: The literature essay material is quite long and difficult to complete completely. In the other questions, I was not too surprised and I did quite well.

Meanwhile, student Le Thao Nhi - a student of Dang Thai Mai Secondary School shared: The test is quite long but if you know how to balance your time, you can still complete the test. With this test, I spent more than 60 minutes on the literary essay. The rest of the time, I spent on questions 1 and 2 and these are not difficult questions for me. I think that to develop yourself, you must first understand your own value, know your strengths and weaknesses to improve yourself. That is also the basis for me to succeed and be confident in myself.
