"Reforming" many processes at the provincial excellent student selection exam
(Baonghean.vn) - These are the new features of the 2019 Provincial Excellent Student Selection Exam. This year's exam had the participation of more than 3,000 students in grades 9 and 11.
In previous years, the test makers and graders were two different teams. The teachers who created the test, after being quarantined, would discuss together to create a common test based on the established test matrix.
This year, according to the new regulations, the question-making process will be carried out in two separate rounds. In the first round, teachers will gather and draw lots to assign questions to two groups, group 9 and group 11.

In the second round, before the exam is given, the teachers will discuss the exam structure and draw lots for the exam content. Next, each teacher will be isolated and each person will be responsible for giving only one part of the exam. The final exam will be randomly selected based on the exam questions that the teachers have prepared.
Regarding marking, according to the regulations of 2019, after the exam, the students' test papers will be cut and sealed. Then, they will be sent directly to the test-making team for marking. The industry will also not set up additional marking teams like in previous exams.
According to the leader of the Department of Education and Training: With this new form, the Department of Education and Training hopes to have an honest and objective exam, avoiding the situation of "teachers giving biased questions to students of their own school or avoiding priority and favoritism during the exam marking process".
The representative of the Department of Education and Training also said that each teacher who creates the test is only responsible for a part of the test to avoid negative situations. The processes from selecting teachers to creating the test and grading the test are all carried out confidentially and absolutely objectively.
Although this is the first year of organization, the new form of marking has been supported by many teachers and parents. After three days of organization, up to this point, the exam scores of the candidates have basically been marked and it is expected that by the end of tomorrow, the results of the provincial excellent student selection exam in 2019 will be announced.
