“Sit for an exam” -> Tham gia kiểm tra hoặc thi một môn hay cuộc thi nào đó.
Ví dụ
It was reported that the secondary student did not want to sit for an exam scheduled for that day. Frustrated (nản lòng, nản chí), the granny (bà) cried and pleaded (cầu xin) with local police for help. Two policemen dropped by and managed to persuade (thuyết phục) the boy to go to school.
A Dublin student who had emergency surgery (phẫu thuật cấp bách) during her Leaving Cert has said she was forced (bất đắc dĩ, bị ép) to sit two exams while still in pain and narrowly missed a higher grade in one paper.
The new measure meant no students had to sit three exams in one day, as was sometimes the case in previous years. The results day was also brought forward by one day while the appeals timeline (lịch trình) is shorter and will finish three weeks earlier than previous years, with post-appeal (lời đề nghị sau) results confirmed (xác nhận) by September 20.
