On Saturday, the first day of the exam, they took a 90-minute Vietnamese literature test and a 45-minute foreign language test.

This year, the exam time for all subjects was shortened amid concerns over Covid-19 infections. Pandemic prevention measures were strengthened in the 2 days of the exam.

After the end of the exam Sunday morning, nearly 10,000  ninth graders in Hanoi will continue the race for a place in class 10 of specialized schools under the Hanoi Department of Education and Training on Monday.
