I hope more States follow the lead and accept this system. It will
help reduce the stress burden from both students and their
parents. And it will give more credit to school exams too.
The combination of high school GPAs and ACT or SAT test scores
is very useful in determining admissions because it provides
different kinds of information about the academic performance of
students. Test scores and GPAs provide reliable and efficient
information that is very useful to many admissions counselors.
Test scores were not designed, however, to be a comprehensive
approach to all factors that influence success in college.
Admissions personnel rely as much on high school GPAs or class
rank as they do on test scores, and the predictor of college
success is higher for both numbers together than for either one
alone.
The ACT and the SAT can be very helpful in assisting colleges in
admissions selectivity when there are more applicants than the
college can accept. The colleges believe that the tests are one
excellent means of helping them to make a better selection of the
candidates who apply. For instance, colleges that specialize in the
liberal arts and humanities would seek students with higher
scores in verbal aptitude and lower scores in mathematics
aptitude, whereas engineering colleges would seek students with
high scores in mathematics aptitude and lower scores in verbal
aptitude.
More than 9.5 million Chinese students have sat the national
college entrance examination. It is regarded as one of the most
important events for the participants, and can change their lives
in this fiercely competitive society.
The exam, which is considered the largest of its kind in the world,
is not only a fight for the candidates, but also affects their families
and the society.
Definitely not! One's talent can not be judged by one exam! There
are various roads leading to success!
