Review high school graduation exam multiple choice subjects according to the new program

The 2025 high school graduation exam will have changes in structure and multiple-choice test format. During the period when candidates focus on reviewing for the exam, experienced teachers will guide students in preparing knowledge and skills to meet the requirements of the new exam.

STUDY TO UNDERSTAND AND APPLY, NOT ROTE OR STUDY IN A WRONG WAY

From the sample exam questions for the high school graduation exam in physics, teacher Huynh Kim Tai, Asia International School System, said that the knowledge is mainly focused on the 12th grade program, spread across all 4 chapters, so students need to review carefully, grasp the theory, formulas and types of exercises. Absolutely do not memorize or study biasedly about a certain content or chapter.

This year's exam focuses on practical skills. Students need to master the steps of conducting experiments in the practical exercises, understand the theoretical basis of each step in the experiment, and how to calculate errors in measuring physical quantities.

According to Mr. Tai, the questions in the Ministry's orientation are no longer too heavy on mathematical skills but are more physical in nature, more applicable, and more related to reality, so students are required to have practical knowledge, related to devices or daily appliances in life, such as heaters, air conditioners, electric kettles, ultrasound machines, generators... Students try to practice many different types of exercises to have a direction to solve and process data faster and more accurately.

According to Mr. Pham Le Thanh, a chemistry teacher at Nguyen Hien High School (District 11, Ho Chi Minh City), the biggest difference between this year's exam and previous years is that the oriented questions are more practical. Therefore, instead of learning by heart, guessing questions or doing them over and over again to memorize academic knowledge, this year students need to change their learning mindset to understand and apply through experimental questions related to practical contexts.

For example, in chemistry, students need to determine the amount of metal in a coin; or exercises related to calculating the concentration of iron salt. These questions require high-level thinking and can classify students well.

Mr. Thanh reminded students not to get caught up in complex chemistry calculations that do not have chemical meaning because these questions will not meet the requirements of the 2018 GeneralEducation Program.

Teacher Vo Thanh Binh, biology group of Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted (District 5, Ho Chi Minh City), said that because the exam only asked a few questions about studying lessons, the rest were mainly questions about understanding and applying knowledge, students needed to identify the key knowledge in each lesson and remember the content. In addition, during the learning process, students need to try to understand what this knowledge means to humans and the biological world . In addition, students should carefully review the types of exercises on variation and genetics that were asked in previous exams.

TRAINING SKILLS AND THINKING IN MULTIPLE CHOICE FORMS

Regarding geography, teacher Hoang Dat (Asia International School System) believes that with the new exam structure, students not only need to be equipped with theoretical knowledge but also need to practice more skills in information processing, analyzing real data and solving problems. Therefore, teacher Dat guides students to build a mind map to help systematize knowledge, remember keywords in each content, know how to link knowledge about natural geography, socio-economics, economic sectors, economic regions, etc.

As for the content of economic regions, students need to clearly identify the similarities and differences between regions, the unique characteristics of each region to be able to quickly find the most accurate answer. At the same time, students need to practice the ability to analyze and infer from the data provided in the exam (data tables, charts...) to solve each question. Practice reading and understanding different types of maps, charts...

For chemistry, teacher Pham Le Thanh noted that students need to get used to the operations and thinking of handling multiple choice questions in the true/false format. This is the part where students easily lose points, because the points are not only divided equally for each answer, but also depend on the proportion of correct answers in each question.

Teacher Huynh Kim Tai guides students when reviewing physics to come up with a suitable practice plan, solving 3-5 problems each week, not necessarily solving too many problems. After completing the practice test, in addition to calculating how many points you can get, you should spend more time analyzing the questions you did wrong to limit repeating the same mistakes in the next tests.
