Trước sự thay đổi của định dạng kỳ thi, học sinh cần phải thích nghi. Một số lượng lớn học sinh đang gặp khó khăn với những yêu cầu mới. Cuối cùng, chúng ta phải truyền đạt tầm quan trọng của giáo dục. Thay vì phớt lờ vấn đề, chúng ta cần đối mặt và giải quyết nó để chuẩn bị cho học sinh trước những thách thức sắp tới.
