Tran Minh Quan (9th grade student at a secondary school in Cau Giay) said that since the beginning of the school year, he has had to divide his study time for most subjects.
In addition to Math and Literature, I still try to review English, History, Geography, along with natural science subjects. I am afraid that if I skip a subject, when it is announced, I will not have time to react," Quan said.
The mentality of "misreading is better than missing out" is common among many high school students. The lack of clear orientation forces them to stretch out their studies, while their time and physical strength are limited.
Many students said that the tutoring schedule for subjects is dense, lasting from afternoon to evening, even weekends.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a parent with a child in 9th grade in Cau Giay ward, said that waiting for information for a long time not only affects learning but also greatly affects the psychology of their children.
Ms. Lan's son has many times shown signs of stress, insomnia or excessive anxiety as the exam approaches.
If parents know the third exam subject early, they can focus on investing in their children to study in the right focus. Now they have to study evenly, which is both time-consuming, costly, and tiring," Ms. Lan said.
Although understanding that the choice of exam subjects needs to be carefully considered, students and parents still look forward to an early and clear announcement.
For 9th grade students, the most important thing at this time is not only knowledge, but also psychological stability to enter the exam with the best spirit.
Taking the 10th grade exam is a big challenge, but if I know clearly what I need to prepare, I will be much more confident" - Tran Minh Quan said.
The 10th grade entrance exam in Hanoi has long been considered one of the exams with fierce competition. With more than 60% of the quota for public schools, 9th grade students face a high "competition" rate.
According to the annual schedule, Hanoi is always one of the localities that announces the third exam subject latest (late March).
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Ms. Tran Minh Thuy - Principal of Vietnam - Angieri Secondary School (Hanoi) said that right from the beginning of the school year, the school has thoroughly grasped to 9th grade students the spirit of studying all subjects equally, avoiding backward and skewed learning.
This is to help students not be shocked and not fall into a state of confusion when the third exam subject is announced" - Ms. Thuy said.
Along with that, the school arranges teachers with solid expertise, rich experience and dedication to directly teach and support 9th grade students.
During the school year, the school organizes 4 quality surveys to assess students' abilities. Based on these results, parents can orient their children to choose a suitable high school.
However, according to Ms. Thuy, the announcement of the 10th grade entrance exam in March is quite late.
Personally, I think the most reasonable time to announce the third exam is immediately after the end of the first semester. At that time, students will have a clear orientation and about 17-18 weeks to review and prepare best for the 10th grade entrance exam" - Ms. Thuy stated her opinion.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
