The exam has many "noisy" answers, making students confused.

Nguyen Thi Kieu Trang is a student at Le Viet Thuat High School and she took the C block (Literature - Geography - History). Because English is not her strength, after finishing this exam, Kieu Trang admitted that she could only do about 50%: She found the reading passage about Dubai a bit difficult and she could not complete the entire test. The questions she did well were mostly easy ones, for average students.

Because the Foreign Language exam only lasted 60 minutes, the candidates finished the exam at 3:35 p.m. The hot weather and Lao wind made many candidates feel tired. Photo: Ho Phuong

Student Phan Thi Bao Ngoc - English major student - Vinh University also affirmed: The test differentiates well, the 2 reading passages are not too difficult. The difficult questions are mainly due to some new vocabulary that students do not know and if they do not have a rich vocabulary, it will be difficult to answer.

In addition, there are about 10 tricky questions with many "noisy" answers that confuse students. Each question has 4 answers, but candidates can only easily eliminate 2 answers, the remaining 2 answers have similar content, forcing candidates to think quite a lot.

After an hour of taking the English Foreign Language test, many candidates at Dang Thuc Hua High School walked out of the exam room in a quite relaxed mood.

Nguyen Hoang Hai Yen - a student of class 12D, Dang Thai Mai High School shared: I found the Foreign Language exam quite interesting, it classified students. With this exam, I got more than 70% and hope to have enough points to be admitted to Vinh University or Da Nang University of Foreign Languages.

When asked how they felt about this year's Foreign Language exam, many candidates in Nghia Dan said that the exam was relatively easy.

Candidate Nguyen Thi Hang Nga - Co Do High School said: The exam tests students' knowledge of phonetics, vocabulary, grammar, and reading and writing skills. The exam has a high level of classification. There are some reading comprehension questions that are difficult to determine the answer, many students in my class can hardly do these questions.

At Quy Hop 3 High School, many candidates walked out of the exam room with sad faces. Candidate Lo Van Hieu said: "The English test was long, I could only do the first 10-20 questions, and I randomly circled the answers for the next 30 questions." However, this candidate also said that he only took the test to graduate, so he only needed 4 points to achieve his goal.

At the exam site of Quynh Luu 3 High School, candidate Nguyen Thi Huong - Quynh Luu 3 High School said: This is a graduation exam so the test is not too difficult. I am not good at Foreign Languages ​​but I can still do about 35 questions. The test follows the textbook program, candidates only need to grasp the structure and learn a lot of vocabulary to be able to answer many questions in the test.

At this exam site, there was also only one candidate who registered for Japanese today, however this candidate dropped out of the exam. To ensure the exam is conducted in accordance with the law, the Examination Council still fully met the conditions from printing, securing the exam papers to arranging the exam room.

There will be many 10 points in Foreign Language

Commenting on this year's exam, Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh - English teacher - Ha Huy Tap High School said: This year's exam is quite close to the sample exam structure of the Ministry of Education and Training, the level of the exam is "moderate", suitable for all students. In particular, students with average academic ability can still get 5 or 6 points.

In the higher application section, there are some difficult questions that require students to have a lot of contact, friction and practice.

After finishing the Foreign Language exam, teacher Nguyen Thanh My - Teacher at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted said: I received many calls from students and they all said they did well, no wrong answers were found. I myself am really satisfied with their work.

Through analyzing test code 417, teacher Thanh My also said: This year's test is easier than last year's, the reading passages are rich with many different topics and not too difficult.

Especially with this question, Ms. Thanh My also commented that there were quite a lot of candidates with high scores: This year's exam is not an advantage for students of specialized schools because students of other subjects can also do well and they do not even need to review much. Last year, the whole Nghe An province only had 2 scores of 10 in English (all were students of specialized schools). But this year with this question, I hope that there will be more 10 scores and not only students of specialized schools can achieve it.
