Foreign Language Exam 'Easy' for Nghe An Students
(Baonghean.vn) - Foreign language is a subject with a 60-minute test time. After leaving the exam room, many candidates were in a good mood. The English test was considered easy by many students, and candidates were relieved to finish their high school graduation exam.
At the exam site of Vinh University High School for the Gifted, candidate Minh Thu - studying in the school's English class said: The exam is not too difficult, but to do well on the test, you need to have a rich vocabulary. She was impressed with the 3 reading passages in this year's exam, including one about using media and social networks.
The content of this reading is quite familiar because it mentions the fact that young people and children live in a virtual world, or just share a lot on the Internet instead of talking directly to their parents. I was impressed with this topic so I remember it the best out of the 3 reading comprehensions. Overall, with my ability, I am confident that I can get over 9 points.
As a Chemistry major, Tran Dieu Thao registered for the Math - Chemistry - English exam combination and was very confident with her exam: The exam was easier than the school's mock exams and the Ministry's exams, she finished her exam in just 20 minutes, she thought her score would be quite high. After leaving the exam room, she discovered that she got question 10 (code 416) wrong. This was a fill-in-the-blank question and was at a high level of application, so even when she had plenty of time left, she was still not sure if she got it right.
Dieu Thao said that the test has 3 reading passages, in which the reading passage (punched out) can be solved by using tricks if you look at the words behind. The remaining 2 passages require translation to understand the meaning. Candidates must have a fairly solid vocabulary to be able to do well on the test. The reading passages are quite interesting, one is about a very talented Japanese person with dozens of inventions, one is about an action actor... I did well on all of them. With this test, I think candidates who are only taking the test to graduate can also do well because the questions are within their ability.
After finishing the last exam, candidate Tran Dieu Thao was happy because she received the notice of admission to Foreign Trade University based on her high school transcript. In addition, with her good test results, Thao has many opportunities to apply to other universities.
Sharing the same thought, candidate Kieu Bao Nhi - Vinh University High School for the Gifted said that the English test was quite easy. However, although she did quite well in English, this candidate still thought that it was difficult to predict the university entrance exam scores this year. The difference in difficulty between subjects was quite large. For example, the Math test was difficult but the English test was easy. She has not predicted whether the university entrance exam scores this year will fluctuate much, but hopes to achieve her wish.
After passing the final exam of theHigh school graduation examIn 2023, at the Quy Hop High School exam site, candidates walked out of the exam room with many different moods.
Nguyen Lo Khanh Linh happily said, “Today I did test code 408. For a candidate applying for block D like me, I think the first questions are quite easy. However, the test still has high differentiation in reading questions and idioms.
As for Vi Manh Huy, a student who registered for admission to block C, he said, “My exam code is 406 and I found many questions difficult in the reading comprehension and tense division sections. Even though I completed all the questions, I only hope to do about 80%, achieving my graduation goal.
Evaluating this year's English exam, teacher Tran Thi Phuong Thuy - a foreign language teacher residing in Quy Hop district said: The exam is not too difficult, closely following the structure of the mock exam, with enough basic knowledge and vocabulary, candidates will easily get a score of 5. However, the difficulty is in the idioms, candidates will find it difficult to get a score of 8 or higher.
This afternoon, candidates in Do Luong district left the English exam sites in the scorching heat. However, their mood was quite relaxed because many of them were sure of completing 2/3 of the exam questions.
At the exam site of Do Luong 1 High School, Dao Duc Chinh, a student of class 12T4, and a group of friends discussing the test results, said: “The English test had 50 questions, I was sure to get 30 correct, and I randomly circled the remaining 20 questions... Even though my academic ability is quite good. In my opinion, questions 40 and above are difficult and highly classified.”
Like Dao Duc Chinh, Nguyen Viet Sang - class 12T1 shared: "I was sure of 35 questions, but I was not sure about the remaining 15 questions. I found the test to be exactly the same format as I had rehearsed. My impression was the 2 reading comprehension passages, the second of which was about stunt actors. Most of my classmates were able to do the test."
After completing the final exam of the 2023 high school graduation exam, many candidates in Con Cuong district breathed a sigh of relief because this year's English exam was not too difficult, at a moderate level to achieve an average score.
At the exam site of Con Cuong High School, candidate Vi Van Vu commented that this afternoon's exam was neither too easy nor too difficult for him. Vu shared that he did not use his English exam score for university entrance results, so he did not study much at first. The first 20 questions in the exam were still relatively easy for those who pay attention to studying English at school. The next part began to have many difficult questions with increasing difficulty. But overall, he achieved his goal of not failing this subject," Vu said.
Meanwhile, candidate Nguyen Thi Ngoc said the test, which consisted of 50 multiple-choice questions, was not too difficult or challenging. "I found the test easier than in 2022. I was probably able to do more than 70% of the test."
After finishing the Foreign Language exam, at Anh Son 2 High School, many candidates walked out with bright faces after successfully passing the exam.
Nguyen Van Hieu happily said that he did very well on the exam today. The exam has 50 questions, of which basic knowledge questions account for about 2/3, so if you have a solid grasp of the knowledge in the curriculum, you can get a good score. I think this year's exam is suitable for students. I am not an English major, but I am confident that I can do about 70%. I have now finished my exam, I feel relieved and am very excited to wait for the results.
Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, at the test site of Anh Son 3 High School, said that in general, this year's test was close to the sample test, with a clear differentiation. Most of the knowledge and vocabulary questions had been reviewed at school, the questions were at an easy to medium level for candidates who do not focus on learning English to be able to do, from question 40 onwards it started to get difficult to classify students. She made the most of her test time and did it within the first 50 minutes and then carefully checked her work. She believed she would get about 7 points or more.
In Nghia Dan district, confident with the Foreign Language exam, candidate Nguyen Van Bao took the exam at the May 1 high school exam site and said: This year's exam is not too difficult, similar to the Ministry's 2023 sample exam structure. The Reading - Comprehension section has many relatively difficult questions, requiring candidates not only to have a lot of vocabulary but also to grasp the main idea and context of the passage. This is the part that makes many candidates have to consider carefully when answering.
“Overall, I think the exam can meet both graduation and university admission requirements. There are quite a lot of easy questions, suitable for those who are not strong in this subject. However, the classification questions are quite difficult, for those who will use their English test scores for university admission. I hope to get a score of 8 or higher,” Bao said.
When asked about the Foreign Language exam, many Foreign Language teachers said that this year's exam was quite easy, not too challenging and followed the textbook program. Candidates only need to master the structure and learn a lot of vocabulary to be able to answer many questions in the exam.
At the Quy Chau High School exam site, after the exam time ended and the candidates submitted their papers, they left with different feelings. However, many candidates expressed excitement and joy because the exam was quite suitable for them.
Candidate Vi Thi Hien, a student at Quy Chau High School, said that although English is not her strong point, she personally found this year's exam to be neither too difficult nor too easy. "I finished the entire exam and I think I will be able to do over 60%."
Candidate Nguyen Hung Quang said: The exam has a high level of differentiation, I found the reading comprehension part the most difficult, but the remaining parts such as vocabulary and grammar were relatively easy so I did it quite quickly.
