When checking her exam results with her parents on June 6, Nguyen Phan Quynh Giang was overwhelmed with joy.
The ninth-grader from Ward 1 Secondary School in the Mekong Delta province emerged as the top scorer in the region, earning perfect 10s in all three subjects - mathematics, literature, and English.
Before the results were announced, Giang had expected to score around 29 out of 30 points, confident in her performance in math and English.
"I never thought I would get a perfect score in literature, so it was a huge surprise," she said. The stellar results secured her admission to Truong Dinh High School, her first-choice institution.
