In front of the gate of Phan Huy Chu High School, Ms. Dang Ngoc Anh waited for her daughter to do the Math exam on the morning of June 8.
Despite the hot summer weather, Ms. Ngoc Anh and many parents still waited for hours, looking towards the school gate.
She confided: "Each drum, from the beginning of the position of position, issue, started taking the test, then the drums of the test hours, my heart seemed to be strangled. Really nervous and worried. But, the last drum in the exam was also the moment I took off a lot of stressful worries and emotions.
When I saw my child, all my fatigue disappeared. I think my wife and I all expect our child to get high scores, but when he finishes the exam, I just want to ask if he will complete the exam to the right ability and be worthy of what he has passed."
The drums ending the test time is also the time when the school gate becomes bustling. Parents come more crowded, smiles show on the lips of both scholars and parents. The exciting sound of the youths volunteered to relay the exam season in emotions at the 10th grade exam locations.
At My Dinh High School, a parent gave his child measuring devices and school supplies right beforeoms. Because she could not remember her child's exam room number, she asked the authorities at the exam spot on the list for support.
Fortunately, the school supplies were delivered to the monk right before the test. When the drum sound of the competition started to ring, she breathed a sigh of relief and confidence because she could help her child in time.
During the exam, these parents became silent "contestants". They don't take the exam, but they experience all the emotions of an exam: anxiety at the beginning, stress throughout the process, and relief after completing an important exam.
Ms. Kim Loan waiting for her child to take the exam at Tran Duy Hung Secondary School said that when her child finishes the exam, he will not only complete his tasks in studying but also learn how to pursue his dream.
"The 10th grade entrance exam not only leaves a mark in my child's memory, but parents like us will always remember it. After many years of picking up my child, I never expected such a loud drop-off drum. The process of picking up a child has never given me such emotions," said Ms. Loan.
Like many other parents waiting for their children, Ms. Loan hopes to be the first person her child will see when leaving the exam room.
