The number of confirmed cases of new coronaviruses has continued to increase, and the resumption of secondary school classes has been repeatedly delayed. A group telephone questionnaire surveyed 805 fresh candidates, and found that nearly 60% of the candidates did not have the opportunity to take the mock test due to suspension of classes. 30% of the candidates completed only in the "exercise paper" mode. Lin, who has a target to attend the CUHK Nursing Department, said that so far, no mock test has been conducted, it is difficult to predict his level, and it is difficult to target weak subjects in a targeted manner.

Some students may not have the opportunity to conduct mock tests

The charity group Youth New World telephoned 805 diploma candidates on February 5 this year, and found that only 14.4% of the interviewed candidates completed the formal mock diploma test on campus before suspension, and 21.6% said that they would choose another day after the resumption. Yes, 29.6% of the interviewees said that the school distributed mock test papers or conducted mock tests online.

Earlier, the Education Bureau stated that whether to resume the class depends on the future monitoring of the epidemic situation and the supply of epidemic prevention materials. Deng Yongyao, the vice chairman of the Youth New World, said that the current resumption time is similar to the start date of this year's diploma test. In some cases, the interview candidates who hold the mock test in the school may be postponed, or they may not have the opportunity to conduct the mock test.

The survey found that the "exercise paper" model was diverse and did not provide test paper corrections. Some only provided reference answers and scoring guidelines. Young New World director and middle school teacher Chen Jiayong believed that these could not simulate the real test situation.

Fresh student Lin said that her target is the Nursing Department of the Chinese University, but the school has not arranged a mock exam. She thinks it will be difficult to predict its level, and she does not know where to strengthen.

There are rumors in the society that the mock test level may be used instead of the diploma test scores. Zhang, a student who has passed the mock test before the Lunar New Year, said that all courses will be completed around Christmas holiday. Although the mock test was conducted after that, he said, "But Wen Shu There is n’t enough time, and I have n’t done my best to be fair. "

In addition to school suspensions, tuition classes on the market are also closed, and both are currently studying at home. They both said that they did not attend the school "no atmosphere, like no sense of oppression." In addition, the Education Bureau and the Evaluation Bureau did not announce the latest arrangements, and they lacked confidence in the diploma test.

The Youth New World survey also revealed that more than 30% of the respondents this year lack confidence in obtaining the minimum threshold of "3322" for local universities, and 64% of the interviewees achieved a score of 7 or more on self-stress assessment (the highest score is 10) ), The group believes that in addition to the impact of the epidemic, last year's social events also affected, and hopes that the authorities and society will pay more attention to this year's candidates and support them.
