For Nguyen Van Dang, to achieve high results in both Math and Physics in this year's provincial excellent student exam, there is no experience better than practicing by yourself every hour, every day. First, I allocate reasonable time to invest in studying specialized subjects, set goals in specific stages to strive for and achieve them. I often go online to look up, search for documents, types of questions for extra study, but do not forget the basic knowledge from textbooks combined with knowledge from advanced books. This is the most solid document to consolidate knowledge.

Dang also "revealed" that he often collects more exercises from many different sources to find solutions, then gradually increases the level from easy to difficult. If he doesn't understand any exercises, he discusses them with his teachers. After such times, he draws his own experience to practice better next time.

In addition, during the learning process, Dang spent some sessions to review his knowledge to see which parts he had mastered and which parts he was unclear about so he could improve further.

Dang shared more: During the test, at first, I focused on doing the easy questions, the questions I was sure I could do. Then I went back to doing the more difficult questions and tried to do them all so as not to miss any points.

Thanks to diligence, hard work and scientific learning methods, I have brought honor and pride to my family and school. Photo: Thai Hien
