Secrets to getting high scores in the 2024 natural science combination exam

According to Ms. Tong Thi Son, a chemistry teacher at Le Quy Don High School, Hanoi, this year's chemistry exam is likely to increase some practical application content to gradually approach the competency assessment orientation in the 2018 General Education Program.

In the exam questions, there are questions that aim to solve real life and social problems, built in a way that is close to the orientation of assessing the learner's capacity, helping to assess the candidate's capacity fairly and accurately. Regarding the scope of knowledge in the reference exam questions: 90% of the knowledge belongs to the 12th grade program in all chapters and 10% of the knowledge belongs to the 11th grade program.

As the exam date approaches, depending on the goals of each subject, students will have different review strategies. For those who only need to pass the graduation exam, they should focus on reviewing the metal section because this section accounts for a larger number of questions in the exam, especially the general metal chapter.

For students aiming for high scores, reviewing theory and practicing true and false statements will help consolidate knowledge. Rereading textbooks for parts that students often skip and forget, such as physical properties and applications.

The polymer chapter is also a part that students should reread because many theories are difficult to remember. Reread the experiments in the textbook to understand the steps and experimental phenomena related to color, gas, and precipitation.

During the test, to avoid losing points and not being nervous, candidates need to write and fill in the correct test code, need to read the entire question content, avoid reading halfway through the question and circling the answer, leading to answering the question incorrectly.

In case the candidate is confused or cannot find any solution, he/she should move on to another question to break the train of thought related to that question, avoiding being oriented by the mistake he/she is making. In the final combined exam, if there is still time, copy your filled-in answer sheet on a draft to compare the results after the exam.

In biology, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong, a teacher at the High School for the Gifted, Hanoi National University of Education, said that the exam content includes: 4 questions from Chapter I, grade 11 at the level of recognition and understanding; 8-10 questions on the mechanism of heredity and variation from the level of recognition to high application; 7-8 questions on the laws of heredity at the level of understanding and application;

Population genetics: 2 questions at the level of understanding, application or high application; applied genetics: 2 questions at the level of understanding and application; 1 question on human genetics; 5 questions on evolution at the level of recognition, understanding and application; 8-10 questions on ecology at the level of understanding, application or even high application.

Regarding the format : the exam will arrange short, easy questions from the beginning and become more difficult later. The first 20 questions are for candidates aiming for graduation exams, so they are very short, easy and only at the level of recognition and understanding. The questions are divided into 2 groups: the group that must be answered correctly and the group that is randomly selected. Advice for each group of candidates aiming for review is as follows:

Note that during the test, candidates often lose points when "getting easy questions wrong". Especially consider correcting answers at the last minute because many students lost points and regretted it after the test.

Regarding physics, according to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nam, lecturer at the Military Technical Academy and physics teacher on VTV7 channel, candidates should learn how to manage time and practice test-taking strategies.

According to this teacher, one of the biggest problems candidates often encounter is not managing their test time well, causing their test results to be lower than their actual ability.

Many candidates make the mistake of distributing time inappropriately between sections, spending too much time on some difficult questions while rushing, making mistakes, or missing easy questions, questions that are within their ability.

To overcome the above problem, in the final week, students need to develop a test-taking strategy that is appropriate to their abilities, with a target score, while not limiting the opportunity to achieve a higher score. The core of this is to develop a reasonable time allocation table to apply during the test.
