- Đề kiểm sát với chương trình và bài học của học sinh.

- Không lan man Học sinh học kiến thức gì  kiểm tra lại kiến thức ấy Giáo viên không tham khảo bất kỳ sách nào khác ngoài giáo trình học sinh đang học và sách bài tập, thậm chí ra lại các câu mà học sinh đã làm Nhưng kết quả trái ngược (rất thấp) do các em thiếu sự chuẩn bị và mất căn bản trầm trọng.
