"The questions were predictable and had a style similar to the school textbook. There was no surprise or originality," said Vivi Hondrogianni, a philologist and teacher. She added that the exam's structure, with a closed-type introduction and manageable grammar questions, would help students achieve high scores. However, she noted that some conversion tasks were demanding and the final questions were specific to avoid confusion.

The Chemistry exam presented a graduated difficulty. While the first two questions were deemed accessible, the latter two were more challenging, requiring more creative justification and thought than usual. "As is customary in recent years, the questions had a smooth gradation of difficulty and a well-balanced distribution of the syllabus," stated Katerina Diatsentou, a chemist and teacher.

Computer Science exams were described as moderately difficult, with few traps and a style very close to last year's. "In general, the theory was easy, a student who had studied could answer it, whereas usually traps are hidden there," commented Christos Kontomitros, a teacher. He noted that the structure of the answers for the more advanced questions closely resembled last year's, suggesting that students who practiced with previous exams would perform well.
