Following the Vietnamese high school graduation exam’s literature section on June 11th, many students in Ho Chi Minh City expressed satisfaction, reporting the exam aligned with their preparation. A significant portion of the test focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), a key topic students had studied. Despite feeling well-prepared, some students were surprised by the inclusion of poetry in the exam. The AI component had been widely anticipated as a focus area, given its prominence in recent educational discussions. Students indicated their study of AI proved valuable in answering specific questions. This suggests a shift in exam content to reflect current technological trends. The unexpected poetry section, however, presented a challenge for some test-takers.
