China's examination system in tang dynasty originated in the imperial examinations, even today, from each of the subjects exam, finals to tests, the entrance examination, the form and content is were improved a lot, but basically take an examination of the students or remember back ability give priority to; To exam achievement to evaluate students' final examination and evaluation of the performance of; Be the university entrance exam "every set for life". And the U.S. system is the exam. Many people will ask: the United States have taken the national university entrance exam? I answered, both, and no, why?
Says the United States has taken the national university entrance exam, because it does have one so that the quality of the students from the SAT exam, the United States is in a different place in the same time, unified content, unified examination papers to test. SAT exam time three hours for presidents, content for the English and math of two parts, the students can take calculator into the examination room, in recent years, some languages such as Japanese and Chinese and so on also as the content. The answer to SAT multiple-choice give priority to, the total score is 1600. If the examinee scores more than 1400 points, can choose to Yale university, Harvard University, Massachusetts institute of technology at the universities and apply for a scholarship; In more than 1200 points, can choose to the state university and other four-year college entrance; In about 1000 points, it may be chosen to various cities two-year community colleges to go to school, take first associate degree, continue to fix credits to get bachelor degree bachelor's degree.
Said the United States "no" the university entrance exam interconnected system, SAT just because of the university of high school students into one of reference conditions. If a senior high school student believes can accept higher education on community colleges can, do not yearn for the so-called "key university", so he didn't go to SAT test can also go to a university.
SAT exam and China different from the university entrance exam except for reference only and not decision factors besides, in The Times and the result of the exam by a more flexible on. The United States from a high school students can take into of SAT the exam, the years which time best result, by the grade to apply for college. Some junior high school students also go to SAT exam, the purpose of which is to examine his level. So, the United States for high school students SAT exam it is free to participate in, can be prepared, not afraid of a certain misses, no Chinese high school students as much pressure.
So, American high school students on the necessary conditions of the university is??????? The answer is: high school each class each semester total average grade B must be in above (A for 90 minutes above, B for 80 minutes above, C for 70 points or more for more than 60 points, D, F for 59 points, the failed).
The school system of American high school from grade to grade 12 September for four years. This four years each semester (in fact, the American students not only it is the high school for four years, and junior middle school three year, the elementary school five years and kindergarten year) of the evaluation result all is composed of the following three parts: (1) the usual class assignments and homework points accounted for 50%; (2) project exam account for 25%; (3) examination and test scores of 25%. Therefore, and Chinese students as long as the exam period can in the final examination in high scores of evaluation, or one thousand test not good can only be different low scores. American students not only to fight for examination, the final examination, good grades, you have to get assignments and projects of the exam at ordinary times high scores, such ability in the final ZongPing get high marks. At the same time, three part can also be complementary, as long as usual to homework, plus project examination, can make up for the deficiency of the one thousand finals low.
What is called "project" exam and how to take an examination of? PROJECT is a word of English PROJECT of translation, such as we often say of the agricultural and industrial construction projects or investment projects, and each unit department heads of the PROJECT and so on. College students' project examination is the graduation design or graduation practice. But in the United States, project examination is not just a at college. In the primary, middle schools and even kindergarten stage, each after studying a unit or a class, the teacher will require the students according to their knowledge of terms of understanding, make a can express their has mastered the study content elements of the project. Some provinces and cities in China I give lectures when normal colleges ChangJu below kindergarten project examination, for example:
In the United States in the kindergarten, when the teacher taught 1 to the number of 100, in addition to take an examination of a test whether children has written these Numbers, will use these figures add and subtract, but also to the kids say: "today is Monday, please the children with a week's time, do a can mean you have learned to 100 the number of the project next Monday, please bring the school to the teacher." Of course, the project is not made in closed by the children use after school time to finish.
I give lectures in domestic when asked the audience: if you are in this class kindergarten children, you will be able to do a what kind of program to indicate that you have learned to 100 the number? Some answer: use a few fingers to said. I said no, because of your finger is long on you the hands of, can't bring to the teacher, so it is not "project". Some said: that I take 100 match sticks to the teacher. I said, that's it, but could do better? Also: use beads strung into bracelets, the number is enough 100 stars. I said, this is very good, you reach the level of the kindergarten kids (everybody laughed).
The kindergarten children is such to do: a little boy with 100 root to eat ice cream small stick, set up a small house with the roof, doors, Windows, and the fence; A little girl, with 100 copies of the chocolate chocolate color, according to different color became a stick his portraits; There is a little boy, parents, friends and relatives to his 100 a different style of toy cars, in a use "100" the figures may deformation and become "high-speed road map" on, tell the teacher said, "this is my the car competition"............. The United States is that children with his understanding and imagination, colorful won his project to test, good grades, the total score for laid a good foundation.
The kindergarten children will still so, elementary school, junior high school, high school students is more further progress. During working, project points, section points of test scores of the overall evaluation of the trinity, able to objectively reflect a student to the basic knowledge and understanding of the basic skills and master degree, in the sense that can reflect the students' intelligence level, so it would not be difficult to explain why the U.S. high school students as long as have all subjects in the B average over the conditions, can accept higher education into all kinds of university.
Because of American good university student enrollment is limited, so, middle school students in competition in addition to have an average score above high school under the necessary conditions to B, have SAT exam scores as reference condition, but also to an additional reference condition, this is the recommendation letter.
Speaking maybe someone feel strange, only heard of undergraduate students graduate school application to professor two letters of recommendation, haven't heard on high school students to the university of recommendation. In fact, in the United States. / This is the American education system to encourage students outside the school gate, to participate in social practice one of the measures. For example, want to study for a medical doctor of high school students, we might as well go to a hospital or clinic when "the little nurse" or medical assistant; Want to study for a business management become entrepreneur of high school students, can go to the laboratory to brush a bottle or to science and engineering underachiever who as a tutor; Want to study for a political science when social activists of the high school students can go to fill out when the campaign volunteers, poverty relief activists, even to the city government, state that congress or the White House for a trainee was born, and so on. These different social organization chief will give these high school students participants to write a letter, as to enter university powerful reference. If the "two ear not smell out the window with all my heart, read only a sage book", in the American high school students on the university of problem is "not to eat sweet".
