Adult college entrance examination and self-study examination are both important parts of higher education in China, and they have similarities and differences in many aspects. This paper will introduce the difference between adult college entrance examination and self-taught examination in detail from the aspects of admission form, learning style, study years and graduation certificate.

Different forms of admission

Candidates who choose the adult college entrance examination must take the unified entrance examination held by the state. The examination form is similar to the ordinary college entrance examination. Candidates should choose their volunteers before the exam and fill in the adult colleges. Candidates can only be admitted if they reach a certain score. If candidates choose to take the self-taught exam, they should not only choose the corresponding learning level according to their educational level, but also choose the examiner's colleges and majors, and then study according to the courses of the selected majors, so they should take the unified exam.

Different learning styles

There are three main learning methods of the entrance examination: full-time, part-time (night university) and correspondence. Among them, full-time study is generally based on full-time face-to-face teaching, mainly in adult (below) colleges, and the learning form is similar to that of ordinary higher education. Amateur forms are generally based on Saturday, Sunday or evening lectures, while correspondence is generally based on self-study, supplemented by face-to-face lectures. If the candidates choose to take the self-study exam, mainly self-study, it is up to the individual to decide whether to choose the remedial class.

Different years of study

According to the learning level, the minimum learning years of the three learning forms are limited respectively. Among them, full-time work is: two years in college, four years in college and two years in college; Amateur and correspondence are two and a half years in junior college, five years in junior college and two and a half years in junior college. At present, there is no study period limit for the self-taught examination in Beijing. Candidates can get a single subject certificate every time they pass the exam. If he passes all the courses in this major, he can exchange all the single-subject certificates for a graduation certificate.

Graduation certificates are obtained in different ways.

Adult candidates want to get a diploma, not only through the unified examination, but also through the graduation examination organized by adult colleges and universities, and they can get a diploma only after reaching a certain credit. After the self-taught candidates have passed all the course examinations, they can convert all the single-subject certificates into graduation certificates.
