In which, the theoretical questions closely follow the basic knowledge of law. The test also has many questions asking students about legal situations that occur in reality. Thereby, students only need to see what is right and wrong in the law to be able to do it.

Difficult questions focus on the last sentences of the test and are mainly practice exercises. To do well, students must read quickly and carefully. Therefore, to be accurate, they must choose the key answer, the right idea and logical reasoning to avoid confusion.

Teacher Thanh Huong said: With this question, many students get 7 - 8 points.

Geography: Using “tools” to support students who have achieved average scores

Teacher Nguyen Thi Ha Phuong - Teacher at Nguyen Truong To High School - Hung Nguyen District assessed that the Geography exam closely followed the exam matrix of the Ministry of Education and Training, corresponding to the illustration exam.

Compared to last year, this year's exam questions are easier and do not challenge students. The exam questions also follow the textbook program, mainly in the 12th grade program. The 11th grade exam questions are about Southeast Asian countries and are quite familiar to students.

All the knowledge is included in the review program for students. The types of questions in the test have also been practiced and tried many times in the mock tests. Therefore, this test basically does not make it difficult for candidates.

For average students, they are given opportunities to use Atlas, charts, and data. These are questions at the recognition level, with supporting tools for students to score points, from question 1 to question 15. Later, the questions have a level of differentiation and gradual application. But only a few last questions are aimed at differentiating students, focusing mainly on economic regions and prominent industries of an economic region.

Students who do not know how to analyze, think, and grasp the knowledge will answer these questions randomly, which is difficult because the answers are similar.

History: Candidates are likely to make mistakes in comparison questions.

Through analyzing the exam, teacher Bui Bich Hau - teacher at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, commented: First of all, it must be affirmed that the History exam is consistent with the sample exam matrix of the Ministry of Education and Training. The knowledge is evenly covered in the curriculum.

For test code 315, from question 1 to question 28 are recognition questions that average students can do for the graduation exam.

Starting from question 29 are application questions and more difficult. Therefore, to get 7 - 8 points, students in group C, with full review and knowledge, can do it.

In the test, there are 4 last questions that are confusing and have a difficulty level equal to or higher than last year's test. These are questions with high knowledge content, students must analyze, apply, and use outside knowledge to be able to do them.

Ms. Hau also said that right after the exam, her students called to inform her and some of them confirmed that they got more than 9 points. However, these students did not make mistakes on the distracting questions, but “stumbled” on the comparison questions.

There are quite a lot of these types of questions in the exam, about 10 or more, comparing 2-3 knowledge or knowledge areas with each other. The way of asking is also more novel than the ones students usually review. Last year, the questions with answers were more confusing. If students are not alert with this type of comparison, they will easily get confused and make mistakes.

For example, like the sentence comparing the August Revolution with the October Revolution, normally teachers often let students compare the February Revolution with the October Revolution.

Or like the sentence comparing the base of the August Revolution with the rear of the resistance against France, normally students often compare the rear of the resistance against France with the rear of the resistance against America.

Comparing the revolutionary period of 1939 - 1945, what limitations did the leadership of the Indochinese Communist Party overcome in the October 1930 Political Platform? Normally, we compare revolutionary stages with each other, or compare the platform with the Party platform, conference... The comparison as in the question is between 2 broad areas of knowledge, the suggested answers are different from what students learn every day.

Therefore, students need to be calm and quick to choose the right answer. These questions do not have confusing answers, but they need to have a "cool" mind, otherwise it will be easy to guess randomly, depending on luck.

In addition, teacher Bich Hau also believes that with this test, there will be students who get 10 points.
