Tips for effectively circling multiple choice questions in Physics for the 2024 high school graduation exam, high score

Physics is one of the 9 subjects in the 2024 high school graduation exam and one of the 8 multiple-choice subjects. Talking to Dan Viet Newspaper reporter, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nam, currently a lecturer at the Military Technical Academy, gave advice to candidates on how to practice the 2024 high school graduation physics exam strategy in the last week before the exam.

According to Mr. Nam, it can be said that the biggest problem that high school graduation exam candidates often encounter is not being able to manage their exam time well, causing their exam results to be lower than their actual ability. Many candidates make the mistake of inappropriately distributing time between sections, spending too much time on some difficult questions while rushing, making mistakes, or missing easy questions, questions that are within their ability and that they can do.

To overcome the above problem , you need to build for yourself a test-taking strategy that is appropriate to your ability, with a target score, and at the same time There is no limit to the opportunity to reach a higher score. The key to this is to create a reasonable time allocation table. to apply during the test.

So, in this article, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nam proposes to you an effective method to help you build a test-taking strategy that suits each person's learning ability and score goals.

"We know that the current Physics exam consists of 40 questions, each with 4 options A, B, C, and D. Thus, the probability of randomly choosing to answer any question correctly is 1/4. This means that, even in the case of no knowledge, just by randomly choosing, it is still possible to achieve an average score in Physics of 0.25×40×1/4 = 2.5 points.

If the candidate is capable of doing N questions (knows how to do them, does them correctly, and does them on time), then he only needs to randomly choose (40 - N) the remaining questions. Then the average score the candidate can achieve is Đ = 0.25×N + 0.25×(40-N)×1/4 = 0.1875×N + 2.5. From this formula, we can deduce that to achieve the desired score of Đ, he needs to proactively do at least N = (Đ - 2.5)/0.1875 questions correctly in the exam and randomly guess (40 - N) the remaining questions . Based on this formula, we can create a data table below

D (target score).	7	8	8.5	9	10
N (number of questions to be done).	24	29	32	35	40

The number of questions must be actively done and completed according to the desired score .

You can rely on this table to build a suitable test-taking strategy for yourself. First, each person needs to determine the score needed to achieve in the Physics exam. Then, based on the data table, determine the number of questions. need to be proactive and do it correctly. And finally, based on the total number of questions that need to be proactive and do it correctly , allocate the test time appropriately .

To be able to allocate time for the number of questions that need to be actively answered correctly, we divide the questions in the test into 4 categories: the first 15 questions are category 1 (H1); questions from 16 to 30 are category 2 (H2); questions from 31 to 35 are category 3 (H3); and the last 5 questions in the test are category 4 (H4). On that basis, we can build a time distribution table according to the desired score and each question category below .

POINT	7		8		8.5		9		10
H1	15	25p-100s	15	20p-80s	15	15p-1p	15	10p-40s	15	5p-20s
H2	9	25p-165s	14	30p-128s	15	25p-100s	15	20p-80s	15	15p-1p
H3					2	10p-5p	5	20p-5p	5	10p-2p
H4									5	20p-4p

Time distribution table according to score level and question rank .

According to this table, each score level has two columns, the left side is the number of questions that need to be actively done and correctly done, the right side is the total time spent on a question category and the average time for a question in the category. For example, to get 8 points, you need to actively do 29 questions correctly, including 15 questions in H1 and 14 questions in H2, and randomly guess the remaining 11 questions in the exam. The time to do 15 H1 questions is 20 minutes, an average of 80 seconds per question, and the time to complete 14 H2 questions is 30 minutes, an average of 128 seconds per question. Randomly guessing the remaining 11 questions can be done within one minute.

Note that you do not need to remember the entire content of the table, just remember the time frame according to the score you need . If your goal is 8 points, just remember "15 questions in 20 minutes and 14 questions in 30 minutes" is enough. After determining the numbers clearly, it is necessary to apply the time frame to the process of doing the test. During the test, it is necessary to control so that the total time spent on a question category does not exceed the set time frame, and the time spent on a question must not exceed the average time calculated plus the time saved from previous questions. You must do it very carefully but at the same time try to do it as quickly as possible , to save time for the remaining questions .

After completing all the possible questions, in the last 2 minutes before the end of the test, you randomly guess the questions you cannot do according to the principle: on the answer sheet , among columns A, B, C, D, there is usually a column with the fewest number of choices , randomly guess all the remaining questions in that column to maximize the probability of guessing correctly. In case there are many columns with the same number of low choices , you can choose any column.

Creating a time frame is for easy control, avoiding the situation where the time spent on the previous questions encroaches on the time spent on the following questions. This method does not limit you from doing better than the set target, which is the case where you do the test faster than the set time frame and exceed the set target score .

The last thing I want to remind you is that because each candidate has different psychological characteristics and abilities, the time frame in the test-taking strategy will be different . When entering the exam room, just apply well the strategy that you have practiced well before , you can achieve the highest score according to your ability.

I wish you all the best in your upcoming exams!".
