Before the 10th grade exam: Studying the right way to maintain performance.

VTV.vn - Before the exam, students need to focus their revision on key areas, maintain good health, and have a stable mindset to enter the exam room with more confidence.

The entrance exam for 10th grade in Hanoi is fast approaching. With only about a week left before the exam, many students are entering the final stages of intensive review, facing increasing pressure. Not only students, but also parents are feeling anxious about one of the most stressful exams in high school.

However, according to experienced teachers and students, the most important thing at this time is not to study a lot, but to review properly, stay healthy, and maintain a stable mindset.

Focus your revision on key areas instead of studying broadly.

In the final stages, many students often try to do as many practice problems as possible or study continuously to fill in knowledge gaps. However, spreading learning too thinly over a short period of time can easily lead to fatigue, disorientation, and reduced retention.

Sharing her experience from preparing for the 10th grade entrance exam, Hua Kien Giang, the top-scoring student at Cau Giay High School and currently in class 10D2, said that dividing her study schedule by subject helped her significantly reduce stress.

I don't study too many subjects in one day; instead, I divide my time among them. Every evening, I study for about 2-3 hours and then go to bed on time. For parts that require a lot of memorization, I usually wake up early to review them.

According to teachers, at this stage, students should focus on core knowledge, common question types, and especially review their mistakes during practice tests. Thoroughly reviewing one test is sometimes more important than doing many tests without analyzing the reasons for the errors.

For Mathematics, students need to hone their presentation skills, practice familiar problem types, and record common mistakes. For Literature, they need a solid understanding of literary works, essay structure, and reading comprehension skills. For Foreign Languages, reviewing grammar and vocabulary, and carefully reading exam questions are crucial to avoid losing points unnecessarily.

Stay healthy to stay in shape.

One common mistake during exam season is staying up late constantly to study. Many students use coffee or energy drinks to extend their study time, but this can lead to fatigue, reduced concentration, and impaired memory.

Experts recommend that students maintain a consistent sleep schedule and avoid staying up too late in the days leading up to exams. Adequate sleep helps the brain recover, improves memory, and keeps the mind alert during the test.

In addition, diet also needs attention. Students should eat a balanced diet, avoiding unfamiliar foods or irregular eating habits before the exam. On the day of the exam, they should not skip breakfast but also avoid overeating to maintain optimal physical condition.

In addition to studying, light physical activity such as walking, stretching, or taking short breaks between study sessions can also help reduce stress and improve concentration.

Parents need to provide the right support.

Many parents worry excessively during the exam period, inadvertently adding more pressure on their children. Constant questions about grades, comparisons with friends, or overly high expectations can make students even more stressed.

According to Ms. Tran Thi My An, Deputy Principal of Lang Ha Secondary School, what students need most right now is a feeling of being trusted, encouraged, and supported.

The 10th grade exam is very important, but parents shouldn't let their concern turn into pressure. What's most important right now is to help their children maintain a stable study routine, eat and sleep regularly, and believe that their family is always there to support them.

Ms. Tran Hong Ha from Marie Curie School in Hanoi believes that the 10th grade entrance exam is an important milestone, but it is not the only factor determining a student's future.

It is important to help students maintain self-confidence, a positive attitude, and to learn in a suitable environment to develop their abilities.

According to teachers, when students are properly reviewed, get enough rest, and receive calm support from their families, exam pressure will be significantly reduced. The most important thing at this time is not just to acquire more knowledge, but also to maintain confidence so that they can enter the exam room in the best possible state.

-----

The entrance exam for 10th grade is a significant milestone, but not the end of the learning journey. In the week leading up to the exam, what students need most is not only more knowledge but also calmness to enter the exam room in their best form. For parents, timely and appropriate support can help reduce pressure and build confidence in their children's efforts. Regardless of the outcome, the important thing is to find a suitable environment for students to continue learning, growing, and developing in the future.
