This is also the last subject of the National High School Exam. Therefore, regardless of the result, students feel relieved because they have completed a long journey after 12 years of high school.
At the exam site of Ha Huy Tap High School, student Le Van Lich said: Of the three subjects in the combined exam, History is the most difficult subject, the knowledge is spread across the program, and there are many confusing answers.

This year's exam is also somewhat different from the sample exam structure, with only a few questions about the history of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union. As for the two subjects Geography and Civic Education, I found them quite simple, and most of the students did well in the Civic Education subject.
Coming from Ethnic Minority High School 1, contestant Vy Thuy Vy and Lo Thi Yen Vy excitedly said: I have practiced the test very carefully and reviewed thoroughly, so I am not surprised by this year's exam.

The questions were very close to the exam structure and we all did well, hoping to get high scores to be admitted to the University of Law and the University of Culture.
The Social Science group has also been chosen by many candidates in mountainous districts. Hoang Van Huu - Anh Son 3 High School, taking the exam at Con Cuong High School, said: The exam was moderate and not too difficult. However, the History subject was a bit long, with a total of 40 questions, the most difficult being questions 30 - 40, focusing on the history of the period 1929-1931 and 1945 - 1975.
These questions require high thinking and reasoning, the other questions are at a moderate level and close to our curriculum. Geography and Civic Education are relatively easy. I did relatively well on all three subjects and had just enough time, hopefully I will get the score I expected.

At the exam site of Do Luong 2 High School, many candidates walked out of the school gate with bright faces. Very satisfied with his exam, candidate Nguyen Van Truong - a 12B student - Do Luong Continuing Education Center said: Compared to last year's exam that I looked at during my review, I found this year's exam "much easier". I did 85% of the exam in all subjects. My goal this year is to pass Vinh University.
Tran Thi Hang, a 12th grade student at Do Luong 1 High School, shared: I study block A, so I think the social science exam is not very "standard", but I think the exam questions for all 3 subjects this morning were moderately difficult, close to the program.

I did best in Geography and worst in Civics, I estimate about 5 points for each subject.
This morning, 381/441 candidates from Quy Chau district, accounting for 86.3% of candidates taking the high school exam this year, completed their exam.
Candidate Quang Thi Hong Chi said: I did test code 310 and found that the test had a degree of differentiation, students with average or higher academic ability could do well, but the differentiation questions required thinking, especially in History. Besides, the test was not too long so the time was just enough for me and my friends to do the test.

At the exam site of Tay Hieu High School, candidate Nguyen Thi Thao Ngan said: History exam is more difficult than Geography and Civic Education. Compared to last year, this year's History exam is longer, the difficulty level has also increased, there are fewer easy questions, the application questions require comparison and general comments on historical events, so the requirements are higher.
It is not difficult to get 5-6 points in Geography because just using Atlas alone is worth 2-2.5 points. In addition, doing the chart comment section will get you an average score. As for Civic Education, half is basic knowledge, the rest is situations. Some situational questions require a lot of thinking, if you do not read and understand carefully, you can choose wrongly.

Candidate Ho Van Hung, grade 12, Hoang Mai High School, said: I, like many other candidates, found this year's Social Science exam to be within my ability.
The questions are all in the textbook program, and some are outside review questions. As for History, I find that the content of the questions focuses on Vietnamese history, important events and historical milestones of the country. However, many answers are in the form of timelines, so it is easy to get confused if you do not have a solid grasp of the knowledge.

As for Geography, the test was relatively easy, we were allowed to bring the Geography Atlas into the exam room, which was very helpful during the test. I scored 8 points for each subject in the Social Science combination this morning.
At the Quynh Luu 1 High School exam site, candidates were quite relaxed after completing the Social Science subject group. Ho Thi My Hanh, a 12th grader at Nguyen Duc Mau High School, said that her strength is the C block subjects, so she did relatively well in the Social Science exam this morning. Because she reviewed carefully and had a good grasp of historical events, milestones, and historical and geographical significance, she was able to answer quickly and had plenty of time to review the questions.

For Civic Education, the exam questions are all in the textbook program, so if you have a firm grasp and memorize the knowledge, you will do well on the exam. You and your fellow candidates graded about 30-35 questions per subject.
According to the report of the Department of Education and Training, in the final exam, the whole province had 98 absentees. In addition, there were no candidates or invigilators who violated exam regulations.
