Confessions of 10-point owners in Nghe An

(Baonghean.vn) - Results of the National High School Exam with 'The 10-point rain is getting mixed reviews. However, it is unfair to say that the 10-point score is due to luck.

I was quite surprised because this year's exam had quite a few candidates scoring 10 points. In my opinion, they all deserved it. However, besides that, there might be other reasons, for two reasons: First, the difficulty of the exam was moderate. Second, because of the switch to multiple choice, many students were able to do it.

Regarding the difficult questions, many of you, even though they were not correct, could still be answered correctly if you filled in the answers based on probability. I also feel a bit regretful about the Math test. There was a question where I fell into this situation, but because I was not sure, I filled in the wrong answer.

In my opinion, to get a score of 10, in addition to mastering textbook knowledge, you need to do many exercises, cultivate thinking, and respond quickly in differentiated problems.

Right after the exam, I compared the answers with the results, I predicted the results but was still surprised by the score I had. I also felt that compared to my seniors, this year we were luckier because the exam was quite easy, the classification between good and excellent was not clear, so many students easily got a perfect score of 10.

With this reality, I think it will be difficult to repeat next year and the Ministry of Education and Training will make adjustments. Therefore, to get a high score on the exam, especially a score of 10, students of the next batch should not be subjective. During the learning process, you must have a firm grasp of the knowledge. When taking the exam, you need to quickly identify the questions, allocate time reasonably, do not underestimate the easy questions, but prioritize the easy questions first. In addition, the mentality when taking the exam needs to be comfortable and confident, not putting too much pressure on high scores.

Objectively, I think this year's exam is easier than last year's. However, to say that because of the multiple-choice test, students got many 10s is not necessarily because Chemistry and Physics have applied multiple-choice tests for many years now. If anything, every year the exam is taken individually, this year the exam is taken in a combination format. The biggest difference is that, if last year, the exam could classify good students and average students, this year's exam will have difficulty classifying the two groups. Instead, this year's exam has a high level of differentiation between good and excellent students.

As a student majoring in Chemistry, Chemistry is my strength. Although I have a solid grasp of the knowledge, when taking the exam, I am not subjective and try to do it carefully, doing each question "surely". In Biology, there are quite a few easy questions but there are also many classified questions. My exam code alone has 5-6 difficult questions and it took me 20 minutes to complete these questions.

I don't think that the Ministry of Education and Training switched from essay to multiple-choice exams is the reason for the "rain" of 10s. In fact, because the test is multiple-choice, there is definitely still some guessing, but this rate is only 25% for each question and getting a 10 by guessing is very rare.

As for Math, this year's exam has easy questions but also difficult questions that require students to have advanced knowledge and take a lot of time to solve. For example, in my Math exam, I spent more than 30 minutes solving 10 difficult questions and only had a little time left to check my work before the end of the exam.

The high score range also requires candidates to consider carefully during the application process and I also think that the top universities will have higher scores than last year.

After the exam, I thought that this year's exam score would be higher than previous years because the questions were easier. After the results were announced, I was very happy with my results, although I still felt regretful because I got one question wrong in Math that shouldn't have been wrong.

I also looked at the score distribution of this year’s high school exam to see which group I was in and saw that there were many high scores. The number of 10s in the A and B groups was also higher than in previous years. Such test scores will not differentiate students clearly, meaning that they cannot distinguish between average and excellent students.

The high exam scores mean that the admission scores of schools this year will likely increase. I registered my first choice for the Faculty of International Business, Foreign Trade University. Last year, this major required 26.5 points, so with my exam score, I am quite confident and will not change my choice. However, many students in my class got 26, 27 points. They are very hesitant and worried about whether to change their choice or not because this score is quite common nationwide.

This year's exam, the level of each individual test seems easier, but the test combining all 3 subjects in one exam is quite stressful, so I think the test is reasonable. However, because this is the first year of switching to multiple choice and subject combination, the Ministry of Education and Training limits the knowledge to only the 12th grade program, I think this is our advantage this year.

As for luck in taking multiple choice tests, I think the chances of you getting a perfect score are very low. Because to answer the entire test correctly, your knowledge must be really good.
