Teachers say there may be a 'rain' of 9s and 10s in English

In fact, the Foreign Language score will also evaluate the organization of teaching and learning in schools and many schools are concerned that if the Foreign Language score is as low as in previous years, it will affect the schools' entrance exam scores.

However, with this year's exam, teachers and students are optimistic and believe that the score range will be higher than last year.

Commenting on this year's exam, teacher Hoang Thi Ngoc Huong - teacher at Nghi Huong Secondary School - Cua Lo town said: The exam is suitable for students, not too difficult and much easier than last year. With this exam, I think students will get a lot of 9s and 10s.

Regarding the exam structure, the exam has 50 questions with 4 levels: recognition, understanding, application and high application. Of which, there are questions from question 1 to question 16 that students can do just by looking at them.

The application and advanced application questions are not too difficult, except for questions like question 17 or question 27 and some antonyms (code 713). The reading passage talks about the history of popular foods like pizza and hamburgers, which are familiar and favorite dishes of students, so students find it interesting.

In mountainous districts, many teachers also expressed their joy because with this test, many students will be able to do well and can get average scores or higher, even scores of 6, 7, 8. Because the test is close to the matrix, teachers who review closely with the matrix will get high scores.

The grammar is focused and basic, the structures are familiar, the vocabulary does not contain difficult words that students have learned or can guess in context.

There are 5 questions including 5, 9, 16, 44, 46 that are considered to be classified, but only for general students.

There are also opinions that the test is easy, making it difficult to differentiate candidates. The grammar and vocabulary sections are a bit "old", not keeping up with the pilot program in the textbooks.

Talking about this year's exam, some teachers are also concerned about question 37.

At the end of the first day of the exam, according to the report of the Department of Education and Training, the whole province had 141 absent candidates and 3 candidates violated the exam regulations at the Nguyen Sy Sach School Exam Council - students brought phones into the exam room. At the Kim Lien High School Exam Council - students brought documents into the exam room. At the Cua Lo 2 High School Exam Council - students exchanged papers in the exam room but this case was not suspended from the exam. No staff violated the exam regulations: No unusual incidents occurred. The exam day took place safely and in accordance with regulations.
