Advice for students
After the exam, when the nervous psychology of waiting for the results is still present, many teachers believe that this is the time for students to give themselves a break instead of continuing to be stressed about scores or benchmarks.
According to Ms. Le Minh Thu - Vice Principal of Galileo High School (Hanoi), after completing the exam, students should spend time relaxing instead of constantly checking answers or worrying about the results. "Currently, students have completed the exam and registered aspirations. This is a very great time for you to relax after the exam" - Ms. Thu said.
Students can choose many different forms of rest such as reading books, meeting friends, participating in favorite activities or simply spending time with family.
Children can go for coffee, hang out with friends or participate in activities they love to prepare in the most joyful and confident mindset for the years in the new school level" - Ms. Thu shared.
Education experts also noted that reasonable rest after the exam not only helps students recover physically but also contributes to relieving psychological pressure after a long period of study. This is also a time for students to explore personal interests, develop soft skills and prepare for the high school environment with many changes ahead.
Regardless of the exam results, completing the 10th grade entrance exam is still a memorable milestone in each student's journey of maturity. After the efforts put in, they are completely worthy of having relaxing summer days for themselves, before entering a new door with many expectations and opportunities ahead.
