Ministry of Education and Training speaks out about literature exam questions similar to speculation on social networks

The Ministry of Education and Training said: After receiving feedback related to the literature exam questions in the 2024 high school graduation exam coinciding with some speculations on social networks before the exam took place, the Standing Committee of the National Steering Committee for the 2024 high school graduation exam requested the exam question-making Council to report.

Many candidates happily said that the literature exam "hit the mark"

Accordingly, up to this point, the National Steering Committee for the 2024 High School Graduation Exam affirmed: "The literature exam questions have been kept absolutely confidential.

The number of literary works in the current curriculum and the scope of the questions are limited. Therefore, guessing the correct name of the work and author used in the exam is random and can happen.

However, the test questions using the entire work or a part of the work or a specific part of the work as well as the requirements (questions) for the candidates are completely different from the previous speculation".

The exam steering committee also said that the literature exam was in accordance with the structure and format announced by the Ministry of Education and Training, with a reasonable distribution between the poetry and literature sections.

The reading comprehension section of the exam discusses the creativity and responsibility of the artist, the elements that make up the history of human art; it does not coincide with previous speculations.

Regarding the social argument (writing section), regardless of the topic, candidates are always required to have practical connections, express their thoughts, feelings, comments, and responsibilities for that issue to ensure practicality, educational orientation, and nurturing of the soul and personality that many documents, works, etc. aim for.

In the official literature exam this morning, the writing section (7 points) has 2 questions. Question 1 requires writing a paragraph of about 200 words presenting thoughts on the meaning of respecting individuality. Question 2 requires analyzing a poem in the work Country , from which to comment on the combination of emotions and thoughts of author Nguyen Khoa Diem expressed in the poem.

Ministry of Education and Training confirms: Literature exam questions are not leaked, absolutely confidential

Many candidates were happy that this year's literature exam was "right on target", while previously social media was abuzz with rumors that the literary essay section was about Nguyen Khoa Diem's ​​" Dat Nuoc" and now, this exam section is also about that same work.

From next year there will be no more "guessing the exam questions"?

Commenting on the way this year's exam was set, Ms. Trinh Thi Thu Tuyet, a literature teacher at the Hoc Mai Education System, said: In general, this year's literature exam ensured the correct requirements in terms of content and format of a high school graduation exam; it also met the requirements for a final exam of the education program that was launched nearly two decades ago.

The two parts of reading comprehension and writing in the test follow the basic model from the 2017 exam to the present with the structure, format and level of awareness in the questions without any surprises that always contain novelty for candidates, not difficult but also not bringing much excitement, an element that should not be lacking when talking about literature. The ability to classify the test is still the classification of the levels of reading comprehension and text perception, the classification is recognized by the subtle and accurate assessment of the examiner.

"Starting next year, when Vietnamese education completes a new phase of innovation according to the learning and testing methods of the 2018 General Education Program, when the materials in the exam are completely texts outside of textbooks, hopefully the literature exam in the 2025 high school graduation exam will bring a lot of excitement, challenges and opportunities for candidates who love literature, are eager to learn, explore, have independent thinking, and do not like to follow the beaten path," Ms. Tuyet shared.
