90-day intensive exam preparation for high school graduates in Nghe An province.

Standing alongside students

For this exam, Le Trung Thang, a student in class 12A1 at Ethnic Boarding High School No. 2, is aiming to enter the People's Police Academy. Due to the specific nature of police-affiliated schools, Thang will participate in both the high school graduation exam and the aptitude test organized by the Ministry of Public Security for admission consideration. This means Thang will have to study five subjects: Literature, Mathematics, History, English, and Physics, to prepare for both exams.

Thang said: "Mathematics, Physics, and English are the subjects I've been studying since 10th grade, so I can try my best; for the other subjects, I have to put in a lot of effort and I can't avoid the pressure. Besides school classes and review sessions, Thang is currently asking the school to register him for an online course so he can practice more exam questions."

According to regulations, students at Ethnic Boarding High School No. 2 are not allowed to use mobile phones. This applies to students.grade 12To facilitate exam preparation, the school allows students to participate in online classes in the school's computer lab, and quite a few students have registered to prepare for academic subjects as well as aptitude tests.

Accompanying her students during the final months of 12th grade, teacher Nguyen Thi Hien – homeroom teacher of class 12A1 – said: "Our class leans towards the natural sciences, and all the students aspire to attend top universities nationwide. Before the exam, the students are under a lot of pressure, and we have to support them."

"

The exam has four levels. I require students to achieve a perfect score in the recognition and comprehension levels (3 points). If they make mistakes, I will have them review the material immediately after the review. In the comprehension and low-level application sections, I aim for students to score at least 3/4 of the points. For the application and high-level application sections, the class aims for a full 2 ​​points, and those who perform better can aim for 2.5 to over 3 points.

In the recent regional mock exam, one student in our class scored 9 points, but the overall average score is still low. Therefore, in the coming days, in addition to school lessons, I will spend all my remaining time outside of class hours working closely with my students to help them consolidate their knowledge and improve their test-taking skills.

Teacher Nguyen Thi Hien - Ethnic Boarding High School No. 2

At Tuong Duong 1 High School, exam preparation for 12th-grade students has been underway since quite early. At the end of the first semester, the school also organized a mock exam using the school's own set of questions to accurately assess students' abilities.

Student Luong Gia Di – class 12A2 said: "I aspire to study History Education and am currently studying in the C03 group (Mathematics - Literature - History). From now until the end of the year, I will have to work harder, try to practice more exam questions, and participate in mock exams on the Department's LMS system."

Currently, only about 30% of the students in class 12A1 aspire to attend university. However, after each mock exam, the school and the class still give small gifts to encourage the students to try their best, or award bonus points.

As both the homeroom teacher of class 12A1 and the teacher of Literature, Ms. Le Thuong Huyen added: "We have already had one mock exam, and there will be four more mock exams from now until the end of the year. From the beginning of the second semester, depending on each student's needs, we will have a suitable exam preparation plan."

Specifically for Literature, a weakness of students in mountainous areas and ethnic minority students is their difficulty in fully understanding the requirements of literary essay questions, and their lack of linguistic sensitivity. Therefore, teachers will help them grasp the basic knowledge, practice essay writing skills, and encourage them to read more literary works to enhance their appreciation.

Give it your all in the final sprint.

From the beginning of March, the Nghe An Education Department officially launched the emulation campaign "90 days and nights of determined effort to achieve high results in the 2026 High School Graduation Examination". The results of this exam will also serve as a benchmark for the Department of Education and Training to assess the quality of teaching and learning in schools and as a basis for the department to score schools based on their commitments to the department, parents, and students.

At Le Viet Thuat High School, this year's exam season has seen the school set many ambitious and specific goals, such as 100% of students passing the graduation exam, the average score of all subjects ranking in the top 15 in the province; and a significant increase in the number of exam papers receiving scores of 9 and 10.

To achieve this goal, the "90 Days of Breakthrough Success" classroom model was developed, requiring each student to study independently for at least 2-3 hours each day, review according to the teacher's and school's plan, and fully participate in mock exams on the LMS system. Each student also needs to self-assess their learning progress weekly, clearly identify subjects where they are weak to focus on improvement, and support classmates who are struggling so that everyone can progress together.

"

We believe that the implementation of the emulation movement should not stop at mere slogans but must begin with the smallest actions of each student. Teachers also need to raise their awareness and responsibility, accompanying their students, helping them to be solid in their knowledge and confident as they enter the exam.

Mr. Dang Van Hai - Principal of Le Viet Thuat High School

This school year, Ky Son High School has over 500 12th-grade students preparing for the High School Graduation Examination. According to Mr. Le Van Tao, the school's principal, due to the unique characteristics of being a high-altitude mountainous school with a relatively low student intake, the review process is implemented quite early.

In addition to classroom learning, students also receive regular practice tests. Specifically, to improve students' test-taking skills, the school purchased the Azota software and regularly updates the test questions, allowing students to take a mock test once a week. After each test, the school administration instructs subject teachers to grade and analyze the students' work. Based on this analysis, they organize targeted exam preparation sessions for each student.

Speaking to students at the launch ceremony of the "90 Days of Determination to Achieve High Results in the 2026 High School Graduation Exam," Mr. Le Van Tao, the school principal, pledged: No student at the school will be left behind. The next 90 days are not only a challenge for students but also a measure of the character, intelligence, and passion for the profession of each teacher. Therefore, during this crucial period, every teacher at the school must strive to "transform the classroom into a place of inspiration, turning each review session into a solid foundation." At the same time, they need to stand by the students not only with the intellect of a teacher but also with the heart of a second father or mother.

After three years of implementation and achieving outstanding results, ranking first nationwide in the High School Graduation Examination, the Director of the Department of Education and Training, Nguyen Van Khoa, has placed his trust in the students, teachers, and schools. He also emphasized the need for the movement to be implemented in a substantive, widespread, and effective manner, avoiding mere formality.

The Director of the Department emphasized: "Competition is like sowing, rewards are like reaping. Teachers should actively contribute, and students should be determined to overcome their own limitations to achieve well-deserved results."
