Seeing Zhao Zitong's puzzled look, Yu Wenyin smiled and said:
"It's not that complicated. Take the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong as examples."
"The scoring method of the University of Hong Kong is: Best 5, Best 6, 4C+2X."
“The scoring method of the Chinese University of Hong Kong is: Best 5, 4C+2X, 4C+1X+M1/M2”
Zhao Zitong has a complete black question mark face.
The education system in Hong Kong is very different from that in mainland China.
What the hell is this...
Zhao Zitong quickly drank a large can of ice-cold beer to calm herself down.
"C stands for core subjects, X stands for elective subjects, M1 or M2 is a designated mathematics extension subject, and Best 5 or Best 6 refers to the best scores in all exam subjects."
So, when applying for a good university in Hong Kong, in addition to Chinese, English, Mathematics, and General Education, there are two more elective subjects
"What do you mean by elective?"
The more Zhao Zitong listened, the more dizzy she became.
Elective
Elective courses are not only available in universities.
“Compulsory subjects for the Hong Kong DSE examination: Chinese, English, Liberal Studies, Mathematics.”
"The elective subjects are: chemistry, physics, biology, geography, history, etc."
“DSE exam consists of 4 compulsory subjects + 2 optional subjects,”
"We can choose to take the exam based on our own strengths in arts, science, or both."
"Exam subject scores are valid for two years, and you only need to choose the subject with the best score to apply to university."
After this explanation, Zhao Zitong understood.
Guangdong Provincial Examination is "3+X+Liberal Arts (Science)"
Hong Kong’s DES is “4+2X”.
Seeing her sudden realization, Yu Wenyin found it a little funny.
For her, who had been sleeping in class, it was good enough that she could hear now.
"For high-scoring majors at the University of Hong Kong, such as International Business and Global Management, the required score is 45 points after the weighted score of the six subjects,"
"The weighted score for dentistry is 44 points, and the weighted score for general medicine and surgery is 38 points."
"Low-scoring majors, such as early childhood education and special education, require 23 points in five subjects, and literature requires 26 points in five subjects."
"The high-scoring majors at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, such as the Global Medical Leadership Training, require 40 points after weighting the six subjects,"
"The weighted requirement for the 6 subjects of Global Business is 39 points, and the weighted requirement for the 5 subjects of Quantitative Finance and Risk Management is 32 points."
"For low-scoring majors, for example, 5 subjects in sociology require 24 points, and 5 subjects in science require 26 points."
45 minutes?
Isn’t 4+2X 6 subjects
45 divided by 6, the average score per subject is 7.5.
Isn't the full score for each subject 5
Seeing Zhao Zitong remained silent, Yu Wenyin thought she was ready to give up.
She didn't take it to heart at first.
She thought Zhao Zitong just wanted to find out more.
Now that I know it’s difficult, I will back off.
"It's okay, Zitong. Even if you don't go to college, there will be many other opportunities in life..."
Zhao Zitong came back to his senses and quickly continued to ask:
“Is the full score for each subject 5 points?”
ah
Haven't given up yet
Yu Wenyin had an illusion.
5 points is easy
In Yu Wenyin's understanding,
Zhao Zitong is a "bad student" who always sleeps in class.
It is difficult to get the basic admission score of "3, 3, 2, 2".
After graduating from high school, Zitong completely gave up on taking the college entrance examination.
Now that I am about to graduate, she said she wanted to go to college.
Does she really think that getting into college is as easy as eating barbecued pork rice
Although Yu Wenyin also admitted that Zhao Zitong was quite pretty.
But it's not that Yu Wenyin is blindly confident.
Among the three, she thinks her IQ is the highest.
Although we are best friends, we can’t avoid comparisons…
"Who told you that the full score is 5 points..."
"Unlike the mainland's 100 or 150-point system, each subject in the Hong Kong DSE is graded according to 5**, 5*, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Level 5** equals 7 points, 5* equals 6 points, 5 equals 5 points, 4 equals 4 points... and so on."
Monster...
Blame myself for being so self-righteous, there are still 5**...
This can't be blamed on Zhao Zitong, because he said 12345 at the beginning.
It's like saying at the beginning that there are only A, B, C, and D grades.
Who knew the teacher would go crazy and give me another A+.
This Hong Kong rating system is even more ridiculous.
Not only is there A+, but there is also A double+.
Even if it is 7, it is not right. Where does the 7.5 come from
"Even if I get 5** in all subjects, I still can't get 45 points in 6 subjects..."
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Zhao Zitong was lost in thought when suddenly a snoring sound came from the sofa.
When I looked up, I found that Madandan had fallen asleep...
Zhao Zitong quickly took out an air-conditioned quilt from the room and covered her with it.
Although the weather is hot now, it is still better to cover yourself with a thin blanket when sleeping.
"It can be 4+X, 4+2X, or 4+3X."
"I think you just need to pass 4+X."
Yu Wenyin felt that ignorance was fearless.
When Zhao Zitong said she wanted to take the college entrance exam, she actually aimed for 45 points.
Global Business is the "god-level major" of the University of Hong Kong.
Even I didn't get 45 points.
"For schools and majors that are not too difficult, the DSE score only needs to reach 33222."
"That means Chinese and English must reach level 3, and mathematics, general studies and electives must reach level 2, with a total score of 12 points."
Seeing that she was serious, Yu Wenyin guided her step by step:
"Zi Tong, you must be down-to-earth and never aim too high."
"If you really want to go to college, I'll find you some textbooks."
"As long as we can get 12 points, we won't consider the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong."
“Hong Kong Baptist University and Lingnan University of Hong Kong are still worth considering.”
Yu Wenyin poured Zhao Zitong a glass of pineapple beer, her tone sincere and patient.
Zhao Zitong was grateful, but she didn't want to say too much:
"Got it, Wen Yin, thank you."
"But I have a very strange temper. I either don't read, or I want to read the best!"
Yu Wenyin was speechless. She thought it might be because Zitong drank alcohol today...
She didn't have much hope that Zhao Zitong could get 12 points.
"Zi Tong, DES in Hong Kong is not a comics competition..."
"I suggest you read the book and do the test first before deciding."
She was sincerely thinking about Zhao Zitong, but Zhao Zitong didn't listen at all:
“What are the requirements for the DES test?”
"There are no requirements. As long as you have a Hong Kong hukou and are over 19 years old, you can apply."
Take the DES test in Hong Kong,
You can take the exam as long as you meet one of the three conditions.
Graduated from high school, took the college entrance examination, and reached the age of 19.
Note that it is one of three conditions, not three that must be met.
"Great! Do you want to take a class at school?"
Yu Wenyin wanted to pry open Zhao Zitong's head to see what was inside.
Is this still the Zhao Zitong I know
What you said was great
Great to take an exam
Every time I heard that there was an exam, didn’t I pray that I would have a high fever so that I could take sick leave
"You don't have to join the class. You can attend as a private student."
“Registration is usually in September, and the exam time is from late March to early May of the following year.”
