After completing necessary procedures, they stepped out of the exam rooms one by one, ending two days of the serious and stressful exam. Many were quite confident with their tests in the past two days, but others were still regretful and disappointed in their tests of some subjects. Excitedly coming out of the exam site with a smile on her face, Nguyen Ha Anh (a student from Vo Minh Duc High School) said that this year's exam questions for social sciences were easier than the natural ones. For the 40-question exam, there were 30 easy questions available in the reviewed outline and 10 questions that required examinees to study carefully and deeply because these were rarely mentioned by textbooks.

After completing natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) and social sciences (history, geography, citizen education), many examinees said that the exam questions followed the textbook program, were relatively "easy to breathe", had a high degree of differentiation through each question. Pham Quoc Bao, a student of Trinh Hoai Duc High School in Thuan An city said that this year, he took natural science tests. According to Bao, this year's exam questions are easier than last year. “I see this year's exam questions are mainly in the review program. Basically I am confident to do nearly 90% of the subjects. Each test has questions that differentiate knowledge from difficult to easy, creating excitement for examinees", Bao added. Le Bao Nhi, a student of Tran Van On High School in Thuan An city said: This year's math problem is quite difficult compared to my ability. I predict that I will get 6-7 points and I am not really satisfied with my math work."

According to Ma Hoang Xuan Thi (a student of Binh Phu High School), this year's literature exam was very easy and interesting. Xuan Thi was most confident in the reading comprehension part. In the writing part, I completed it very quickly. The part was required to analyze and relate the boat in the excerpt from the short story "A boat from afar" by writer Doan Minh Chau, with the boat struggling against the waves that Xuan Thi practiced a lot, so it made him even more excited.
