If I could become a student of any of these prestigious schools, it would be a great honor for my family.
In the countryside of Zhao Zitong's later life, he could be admitted to any of the schools on the above list.
It's about setting off firecrackers and celebrating for several days.
Not only the school, but also the county government and the Education Bureau will publicize it.
This kind of great achievement will definitely dominate the school's honor roll for decades!
"So what does DES test?" Zhao Zitong asked:
"And how many points are needed to apply to Tsinghua University and Peking University?"
This question is equivalent to "What subjects are tested in the college entrance examination?"
Like the Guangdong Provincial College Entrance Examination that Zhao Zitong took in later generations.
It is 3+X+Liberal Arts (Science)
3. Chinese, mathematics and English.
X means one of politics, history and geography
Or choose one from physics, chemistry and biology.
The comprehensive liberal arts and comprehensive science are easy to understand.
The Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE) is considered a de facto shortcut to higher education.
Firstly, the Hong Kong DSE is the only international examination where you can choose to answer questions in Chinese.
Secondly, Hong Kong DSE scores can be used to apply for local universities in Hong Kong,
In addition to applying for admission to 122 universities in mainland China through the "Admissions without Examination Program",
There are also more than 280 foreign universities that recognize Hong Kong DSE scores.
"Are you also interested in universities in the mainland?" Yu Wenyin was quite surprised.
To be honest, it's normal to be surprised.
In the early 1990s,
Mainland universities are not ranked well in the world.
Even Tsinghua University and Peking University are similar.
Who caused the mainland to suspend the college entrance examination for ten years
There really haven't been any good talents during this period.
This year marks only the thirteenth year since the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the first batch of college students who took the college entrance examination have only been working for seven or eight years.
It is quite difficult to achieve outstanding achievements in a field.
In addition, there was a massive movement that caused severe damage to cultural education.
Many well-known scholars and professionals have been seriously injured.
As far as cultural education is concerned, there has been no progress.
To say that we've regressed ten years is an understatement...
But any student taking the college entrance examination in the mainland has a dream of studying at Tsinghua University or Peking University, right
Although this dream may be far away, it is still okay to dream.
"I don't want to go back to mainland China to study, I just want to learn a little bit and see which one is easier."
Zhao Zitong felt a little guilty. He couldn't say that he had a complex about Tsinghua and Peking University.
It is probably hard to understand why a student who grew up in Hong Kong has a complex about schools in the mainland.
Yu Wenyin can understand why people yearn to attend those famous universities in the UK or the Ivy League schools in the US.
However, Yu Wenyin could not understand people’s yearning for Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Yu Wenyin was only three years old when she came to Hong Kong with her mother.
I have no impression of Beijing's courtyard houses at all.
Because of my father's affairs, my mother rarely mentioned her past in Beijing.
So Yu Wenyin's impression of Beijing is vague.
Zhao Zitong couldn't possibly tell them:
As the spring breeze of reform and opening up blows stronger and stronger, the development of the mainland will exceed your imagination.
China in 2021, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world.
Mainland China is the safest and most secure country in the world.
As a reborn person, Zhao Zitong is lonely.
But as the third runner-up of Miss Hong Kong in 1991, she is not alone.
Yu Wenyin pulled out a document which clearly stated the scope of the DES exam.
“DES has four subjects in total, namely Chinese, English, Mathematics and Liberal Studies.”
“General candidates: The minimum admission standard is “3, 3, 2, 2”, which means Chinese Language and English Language must reach Level 3 or above, and Mathematics and Liberal Studies must reach Level 2.”
Zhao Zitong understood a little.
The full score for each subject is 5 points.
To be admitted to an ordinary university, it is just like the undergraduate line in China.
At least 3 points in Chinese, 3 points in English, 2 points in Mathematics, and 2 points in General Studies are required.
If converted to a percentage system, the full score is 100.
Chinese requires 60 points, English requires 60 points, Mathematics requires 40 points, and General Studies requires 40 points.
After making this calculation, Zhao Zitong couldn't help but deeply doubt the original owner's IQ.
It’s so easy, yet you still can’t get into a university in Hong Kong
No wonder even a simple and lovely ball master like Ma Dandan could be admitted to a university in Hong Kong.
“If you’re a sports student or an arts student, the standards are lower.”
Yu Wenyin continued to say that the sister of her boss Huo Yunbing was the daughter of the Qihang Group—Huo Yunyan was an art student.
“Arts and Sports: The minimum admission standard is “2, 2, 1, 1”.
Zhao Zitong understood immediately.
This is the same as sports students and art students in mainland China, who don’t need very high academic scores.
"Hong Kong also has a program called the principal recommendation program: the minimum admission standard is a total score of 10 points or above in four core courses, and each course must not be lower than Level 2; the quota is 8 per secondary school."
Yu Wenyin continued.
Zhao Zitong also understood this, it was a backdoor quota.
As long as the score in each subject is not less than 50 points, it will be fine.
Generally these are people with connections or wealthy people who have donated to the school.
“Last year, the admission standards for Peking University and Tsinghua University were ‘4, 4, 4, 4’”
Zhao Zitong's expression changed and she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
Does this mean that as long as you score no less than 80 points in each subject, you can apply to Tsinghua University and Peking University
I think of those mainland candidates in later generations who had to fight hard to get in.
It is relatively easy for these students in Hong Kong to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Even so, many Hong Kong students are still reluctant to go.
It's like one man's meat is another man's poison.
But I studied at Tsinghua University and Peking University as a student from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Zhao Zitong felt like something was missing again.
Being a human being is so contradictory!
You have been complaining about how difficult it is to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University, but now it has become easier for you to get in.
Instead, she complained that it was too unchallenging.
"What about applying to the University of Hong Kong or the Chinese University of Hong Kong?"
Zhao Zitong has lost interest in Tsinghua University and Peking University.
It is impossible to give up my Hong Kong household registration and return to the mainland to become a college entrance examination candidate.
In terms of age, I may not be qualified...
"Wow, Zitong, you are amazing. You went straight for these two best universities after taking the exam."
Ma Dandan was really not interested in these things. She wanted to watch TV, but was afraid of disturbing them when they were talking about important things.
I had no choice but to eat the food on the table one bite at a time.
Seeing that Zhao Zitong was interested in these two universities, Yu Wenyin specifically introduced the admission situation of these two universities.
“I want to study in a local university in Hong Kong with my DSE results.”
"In addition to meeting the basic requirement of 3322 in the four core subjects, each institution actually has its own admission score calculation mechanism."
“In other words, some faculties or courses have different calculation methods and weights for core subjects and elective subjects.”
"Even if the scores are the same, the chances of admission will be different under different scoring methods."
watt
Zhao Zitong was completely confused by what Yu Wenyin said.
