Balance physical and mental health

Mr. Lam Nguyen Bao, Director of Song Nguyen Education Company, a former French major student at Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted, Ho Chi Minh City, said that he was lucky to have both parents as teachers, and both parents had a lot of experience in teaching and training. As a high school student, Mr. Bao was put into a fairly strict framework in studying. However, according to Mr. Bao, in addition to strictness, the science in arranging study time and keeping yourself balanced also plays an equally important role.

As a 9th grader, Lam Nguyen Bao was the valedictorian of the Ho Chi Minh City-level excellent student exam in French. In 10th and 11th grade, he was the valedictorian of the 30/4 Olympic exam in French. The male student of Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted, Ho Chi Minh City at that time also won third prize in the national excellent student exam in French. His list of achievements also includes a full scholarship for a bachelor's degree in commerce, RMIT University Vietnam; a master's degree in management and educational innovation; a master's degree in teaching English TESOL; a doctoral candidate in business administration, Golden Gate University, USA...

Mr. Bao believes that one of the experiences for students to have a balance between physical and mental health, and maintain a stable mentality before important exams, such as the 2025 high school graduation exam, is to eat on time, exercise regularly at home, and get enough sleep.

Final year students, before a particularly important exam such as high school graduation, often have a very tight study schedule, studying from morning to night, so if they do not maintain good health and do not balance their physical and mental health, it is very difficult to maintain perseverance. Before an important exam day, in addition to reviewing their lessons, candidates can listen to music, watch a light movie... When the mind is relaxed and the body is healthy, the ability to concentrate and absorb of the students is also much better, then they will do better on the exam.

Arrange review time at a ratio of 90 - 30 - 90

Dr. Pham Thanh Tung, valedictorian in 2010, silver medalist in the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University) in 2015, and also the student who won first prize in math in Ho Chi Minh City in 2007, 2009 and 2010, advises students to arrange time to review and revise their lessons in both the morning and afternoon.

For example, with math, in the morning, candidates can review for 90 minutes, take a 30-minute break to "cool off", and then continue for another 90 minutes. In the afternoon, repeat the same for another subject. According to Dr. Pham Thanh Tung, dividing study time into 90 - 30 - 90 (minutes) helps candidates gradually adapt to the real exam pace without becoming exhausted. In the evening, only quickly review key knowledge to reduce stress and ensure quality sleep.

Before the high school graduation exam, prepare sharp "combat weapons"

Master Pham Le Thanh, chemistry teacher at Nguyen Hien High School, District 11, Ho Chi Minh City, said that before the high school graduation exam, candidates must pay attention to energizing and staying alert. Candidates need to eat nutritious food, have a light, nutritious breakfast, avoid cold food, and street food of unknown origin. The night before the exam, absolutely do not stay up late to cram.

"Get enough sleep so that the brain can rest and be ready to process information to the maximum. A good night's sleep is the best "lifesaver" for alertness," said Master Pham Le Thanh.

In addition, a famous male chemistry teacher in Ho Chi Minh City suggested that candidates must check their study tools - "competition weapons" must be sharp. They need to prepare 2-3 ballpoint pens of the same type, the same blue ink color, 2B pencils, erasers, pay attention to the correct way to fill in the multiple choice questions, and prepare a calculator according to regulations.

"Candidates must remember to bring their full exam application form (printed and kept in a transparent bag), citizen identification card (or valid ID card). You can bring a bottle of water with the label removed," the teacher advised candidates to prepare carefully before the 2025 high school graduation exam.
