The college entrance examination is the most important turning point in life, and the score directly affects which university you can study in China, and it is also the domestic entrance examination that every family attaches the most importance to. So what are the differences between the international exam and the domestic college entrance examination?
1. Candidates can take the exam as many times as they want
In the promotion path of ordinary high schools in China, college entrance examination results occupy an overwhelming proportion, and there is only one opportunity a year. This year, the number of applicants for the Guangdong college entrance examination reached 78,3, according to statistics, the number of applicants for the Guangdong college entrance examination has ranked first in the country in the past ten years, and the fierce competition for further education can be imagined.
Most foreign undergraduates use the comprehensive overall assessment of "3+1", which refers to the standardized score of admission (language score + international examination), and there are opportunities for multiple examinations, and you can continue to try until you think the best result.
△The frequency of the two exams is different
Relatively speaking, the college entrance examination emphasizes standardization, the total score is high, the volunteer is filled in well, and the probability is that you can choose the school you want to go to. However, foreign undergraduate admission allows students to take standardized examinations many times, take the best score to apply, and also emphasize personality, but also examine soft skills (that is, the "1" part), such as the application essay, student experience and interview performance, etc., and finally comprehensively consider whether to admit.
2. The curriculum varies depending on the goal of further education
Due to the different goals of general high school and international high school, the teaching curriculum behind the domestic college entrance examination and the international entrance examination are also different and have their own characteristics.
In the past, the subjects of the college entrance examination were the same as the general high school curriculum, mainly divided according to arts and sciences. Recently, the state has introduced a new college entrance examination reform, giving students the autonomy to choose the exam. In terms of curriculum, the reform policy of the new college entrance examination is mainly reflected in the fact that it is no longer divided into arts and sciences, consisting of 3 national unified college entrance examination subjects and 3 Guangdong Province ordinary high school academic level selective examination subjects, and implementing the "3+1+2" examination model. Multiple combinations require careful consideration and deliberate decision-making.
△Comparison of the three mainstream courses of international schools

Different international schools choose one or more of these courses to carry out education and teaching according to their own orientation and school conditions.
