Students accelerate tutoring, filling knowledge gaps
These days, the exam preparation atmosphere at Cao Ba Quat High School - Gia Lam (Hanoi) becomes urgent. In classrooms, libraries or self-study corners, 12th grade students are diligently working on exam questions, formulas and closed notebooks with notes.
Nguyen Minh Quan - a 12A4 student of the school said that he is entering the final sprint phase with a higher intensity of study than before. The male student prioritizes consolidating basic knowledge to avoid losing points unfortunately.
Currently, I am focusing on practicing the exam questions, doing the easy questions first. For difficult questions, try to think more, learn more solutions to do faster. I think the most important thing at this time is to cover knowledge and maintain confidence when taking the exam" - Minh Quan shared.
According to the male student, the biggest pressure of this stage comes not only from the amount of knowledge but also from the anxiety before the exam. Therefore, Quan tries to maintain a stable study rhythm, does not stay up too late and always spends time resting to maintain concentration.

Preparing for the graduation exam from the summer of 11th grade, Le Quang Cuong - a 12A12 student - has had a long period of building a foundation. This helps the male student feel more confident when entering the current stressful review stage.
“I have had quite a long time to build a foundation of knowledge. In the final sprint stage, I mainly find the missing parts to focus on reviewing again, ensuring that both knowledge and psychology are ready for the exam” - Cuong said.
According to the male student, practicing questions not only helps consolidate knowledge but also trains the ability to allocate time and reflexes when doing the test. The male student believes that at this time, it is important to know where you are weak to review in the right focus instead of studying scatteredly.
Accompanying school
Behind the stressful tutoring hours of students is the close companionship of teachers and the school throughout the school year. According to Ms. Hoang Thi Kim Que - Vice Principal of Cao Ba Quat High School - Gia Lam (Hanoi), the preparation for the high school graduation exam has been built early by the school.
Right from the beginning of the year, the school has had a specific plan, allocating reasonable time for teachers to support students to supplement knowledge and review. By the end of the school year, both completing the program and helping students consolidate the necessary skills to participate in the exam" - Ms. Que said.
According to the female Vice Principal, in the final sprint stage, the most important thing for students is not only knowledge but also health and psychology. If there is too much pressure or unbalanced learning, the effectiveness of reviewing can be significantly affected.
Students need to take care of their health, ensure the best physical condition to review effectively. When doing the test, they need to be calm, focus on applying the knowledge and skills that have been trained throughout the learning process" - Ms. Que emphasized.

In addition to preparing for the exam, Ms. Que also advises students to spend time carefully studying the major before registering for university and college admission. According to her, the appropriate choice must be based on the capacity, interests and actual needs of the labor market.

Amidst pressure and expectations, what students need to do at this time is not only to practice more exam questions, but also to be calm, confident and believe in the efforts accumulated over the past time.
