How the top students of block A00 nationwide achieved the 10 worst scores in their subjects

Valedictorian Nguyet Hang said that when she was an 8th grade student at Thanh My Secondary School ( Lam Dong province), of all the natural science subjects, chemistry haunted her the most because she always got low scores.

"By the end of 8th grade, when I realized my shortcomings in this subject, I was determined to make it my best subject. I started spending almost all of my time self-studying, searching for materials from many chemistry groups and practicing more," Nguyet Hang shared.

She said her learning method is very simple, which is to use many real-life examples so that the questions will be easier to understand. "When I learn a new chemical substance, I will go online to look up its applications or read fun chemistry experiment books to relax my mind but still grasp the knowledge," this female student said.

By the time she was in 12th grade, when she moved to Ho Chi Minh City to study, Hang practiced 2-3 questions from the natural sciences every day and periodically took mock exams at school every week to review the knowledge she was not clear about. She revealed that from the time she studied until the time she took the high school graduation exam, she practiced more than 100 questions.

Talking about her feelings when becoming the valedictorian of the A00 block nationwide, Nguyet Hang expressed: "Before that, I had accurately predicted that I would get a score of 29.35, but being valedictorian was something unexpected. I only regret that out of 2 questions I got wrong, there was 1 question I got right before but I corrected it."

When asked: "What do you do when you are stressed during exam preparation?", Hang said she often eats ice cream and reads stories, because those moments help her relax and reduce stress a lot.

As Hang's homeroom teacher, Mr. Vu Van Thao said: "At first, when she moved to Ho Chi Minh City to study as a boarder, Hang was quite shy because she missed home, but in the second semester, when she was more integrated, she began to show her learning ability. Hang spent almost all of her time studying for the exam, so achieving this high result is completely deserved."

In addition, this female valedictorian also won second prize in the provincial chemistry competition in grade 9 and achieved 1,032 points in the competency assessment exam of Ho Chi Minh City National University.

"Currently, I am considering choosing between two schools: Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Ho Chi Minh City Foreign Trade University. I will watch many career orientation programs and determine my passion to make the right choice," said this valedictorian.
