Britain: The school was closed for two weeks before the college entrance examination.
In Britain, students in the second year of senior high school need to take the A-LEVEL exam, that is, the Advanced Certificate of General Education exam. The examination courses include English language, literature, mathematics and economics. Students also have to take exams for elective courses. The advanced examination of general education certificate is equivalent to the college entrance examination in China. Only those who have achieved excellent results in the A-LEVEL exam can be admitted to first-class universities.
The school is closed two weeks before the A-LEVEL exam, so students can go home and review by themselves. School teachers don't do any activities such as guessing questions, reviewing and summarizing. The test scoring standard is divided into eight grades, and zero is expressed by U.
United States: 12 years old, taking the college entrance examination one after another.
There is no national college entrance examination in the United States, but the most influential tests for middle school students to apply for universities are SAT and ACT. SAT scores often determine the scope of students' choices, and those with the best scores are expected to go to famous universities.
The SAT test is held seven times a year. The content of the test consists of three parts: mathematics and Chinese, and the time is three hours. It is worth mentioning that the SAT test is not directly related to high school textbooks, but mainly tests students' logical, analytical and reasoning abilities. For example, there is a question: the relationship between sand and beach is similar to which of the following two: cat and beard; Dogs and bones; Trees and forests; Football and hockey; Clothes and shoes. The test questions are similar to crossword puzzles, so junior high school students aged 12 or 13 are often seen in the examination room.
Japan: Losers are called "ronin"
Japan is a hierarchical society, and it is very important for everyone to reach a higher level and come from a good family. Unlike China, the national college entrance examination is not final. State-owned, public and some private universities have a national unified examination every June 5438+ 10, mainly in basic subjects, such as Mandarin, English, mathematics, science (physics, geography, chemistry, biology) and social studies. From mid-February to the end of March, each school conducted the second special examination according to its own situation.
Candidates in Japan are divided into three categories, one is fresh high school graduates. Their study tasks are extremely heavy. In addition to completing normal high school courses, everyone should eat small stoves and participate in various types of cram schools. The second kind of students are students who have failed in the past and are called "ronin" in Japan. These people did not take part in the work, but devoted themselves to various cram schools or self-study. The third kind of students who take the college entrance examination are those who have already entered the university but want to enter a good university, and are called "masked ronin".
Korea: The college entrance examination is not the total score.
South Korea's Ministry of Education implemented a new college entrance examination system in early 2002. The biggest feature of the new system is that the total score is no longer calculated, but the test scores of each subject are scored separately, and then the scores and comprehensive scores of each subject are determined according to the score segments. The scores are divided into 9 grades, and the annual score ratio is determined according to the number of candidates each year.
Universities will recruit students according to exam results, student manuals, interview results and specialties. This time, the enrollment system based on scores was reformed to guide students not only to pay attention to college entrance examination scores, but also to cultivate their own specialties and specialties. After the grading system is implemented, candidates will not fall out of the list because of the gap of 1 or a few points, as in the past.
France: Pre-registration is implemented for college enrollment.
French higher education has a complex structure and unique degree types, and the college entrance examination system is different from many countries such as China.
The necessary condition for French high school students to enter the university for further study is to get the high school diploma issued by the school first, and then participate in BAC. In principle, all high school students who have passed the senior high school entrance examination, that is, those who have obtained BAC, can apply for higher education in universities, except departments of medical, dental, pharmaceutical and technical colleges. Due to the limited places, these colleges and majors generally adopt the elimination system to recruit new students.
In order to let colleges and universities know the situation of students in advance, French colleges and universities implement pre-registration, that is, register their volunteers in advance. Pre-registration is generally carried out in March and April each year. Due to the large number of students, most schools in France use telephone computers to register.
It is reported that about 94% of those who pass the entrance examination for ordinary high schools in France can directly enter colleges and universities, while only 17% of those who pass the entrance examination for technical high schools in France can enter colleges and universities.
Canada: "College Entrance Examination" is a strange concept.
College entrance examination is an important event for senior high school students in China and even the whole China society. But for Canada, the college entrance examination is a strange concept. Even if you ask a Canadian high school graduate who is about to enter the university, he may not know how to answer this question.
There is no college entrance examination in Canada. If Canadian middle school students want to go to college, they don't have to take special entrance exams, so most Canadians don't know what the college entrance examination is. Every June, when China's high school graduates are busy for the college entrance examination, Canadian high school graduates may have received the admission notice from universities, and some students will be faced with the admission notices from several best universities, but they are in a dilemma about which one to choose.
Although there is no college entrance examination, it is still very difficult for Canadian high school students to enter a good major in a famous university. Canadian universities also have their own student selection system. Because there is no special education management institution in Canada, the provincial governments are responsible for the management of education, which leads to the differences in the education system of primary and secondary schools in Canada, and the admission requirements of Canadian universities are also different.
Brazil: The college entrance examination has the final say.
The current framework of higher education in Brazil was established in 1968. Colleges and universities are divided into four categories: federal, state, municipal and private. The first three categories are public schools. From 65438 to 0996, 34 of Brazil's 87 universities were private universities. Of the 6.5438+6 million college students, about 700,000 are studying in public schools, accounting for about 40% of the total number of students.
Brazilian institutions of higher learning formulate enrollment plans and admission standards according to their own schools, and the specific examination time and subjects are decided by the participating universities. Most public schools hold entrance exams twice a year, while a few public universities and all private schools hold exams once a year. Students who apply for colleges and universities must have diplomas in basic education and secondary education. In the specific content of the exam, each university and each major has different emphases. Because the federal and state public universities implement free education, it attracts many candidates, and the enrollment ratio is about 7 to 1. Brazilian universities generally adopt the day-to-day study system, and the effective study time is 180 days per year.
