Teacher shows strategies for doing well in English for high school graduation exam - Vietnam.vn (2024)

According to Ms. Mai Huong, while taking the exam candidates need to note the following:

1. Candidates maintain their mentality when taking the exam and do their best with what they have accumulated.

2. You need to bring a wristwatch (according to exam regulations) and allocate reasonable time for each type of test.

3. Whatever type of exercise you are confident about, do it first to optimize your time.

4. Think carefully before filling in the answer. If you are not sure, you should mark it on the question paper and then come back to consider the answer later.

5. Candidates must not leave any answer blank.

6. You need to spend at least 5 minutes at the end of the hour to check your answers (have you filled in enough questions, have you matched the answers to each question, are there any questions that are not filled in or are blurred... ).

7. You need to read the question carefully (many students are in a hurry and mistakenly read the question from looking for antonyms to looking for synonyms, thus losing points which is very unfortunate).

8. When choosing an answer, you need to be alert to distinguish noisy answers.

9. Apply the method of elimination if possible to help find the answer quickly.

10. Confident in their work, they do not waver because of surrounding factors.

In addition, Ms. Mai Huong noted to candidates:

It is necessary to analyze the question as soon as you receive the test, determine the correct knowledge area and have a thought process for taking the test

For example, in the error detection test, three questions focus on knowledge of verb tenses, possessive pronouns/adjectives, two words with the same root that can easily cause misunderstandings about meaning. Once you understand the type of lesson and the content of knowledge to focus on, students will easily find the right solution. From there, students will need to think about which lesson to do first and which lesson to do later, so as not to waste time.

Identify questions by level (recognition, understanding, application, high application)

Another piece of advice is that students need to allocate reasonable time for each question. Suggestions are as follows:

– Identification question: 30 seconds

– Comprehension question: 50 seconds

– Application questions: 80 seconds

– Highly applicable questions: 100 seconds

– 10 to 15 minutes for reading depending on length

Note, usually pronunciation and stress questions are at a recognition level; Questions about verb tenses and articles at the comprehension level; Questions about phrasal verbs, idioms, synonyms, antonyms at the application level...

Apply strategies for each type of test or question type to optimize test time

For example, Reading Comprehension 1 includes 5 questions, including 1 title question (read for main idea), 2 questions about detailed information, 1 reference question and 1 vocabulary question. To find the main idea of ​​the reading, students need the technique of skimming, finding the opening or ending sentence of each paragraph. From there, you can find the main idea of ​​the whole article. To find detailed information, students need scanning techniques to locate the information they are looking for.

Read the exam and questions carefully to avoid making unfortunate mistakes:

Many students often skip the step of analyzing the problem when doing the test, leading to incorrect answers. Typically, in the task of finding antonyms, many students mistook it for the task of finding synonyms and chose the wrong answer.

A mistake students often make is choosing the answer (correct), then wondering and choosing another answer (wrong). This error is mainly due to uncertain knowledge and failure to identify traps in interference options.

“Hopefully the above suggestions will help candidates feel more confident when completing the high school graduation exam this year. Wishing the candidates a productive exam season and high scores," Ms. Huong shared.
