Korean American education
South Korea's education system is 6 years in primary school, 3 years in middle school, 3 years in high school and 4 years in university. This is the influence of the infiltration of American education aid program after World War II. Until 1996, primary schools were called Chinese studies. Due to various problems, 1996 was changed to primary school. But in fact, high school education in South Korea is similar to that in China. English education is similar. South Korea's high school enrollment rate is much higher than China's, and 80% of the students in the country can enter regular universities. South Korea has less homework than China, but some high schools adopt cramming, but this is only a minority. The entrance examination in Korea is very difficult, although it doesn't start from kindergarten like Japan. In fact, there is only one entrance exam in China.

Senior high schools in both countries are three-year programs, and they are also divided into liberal arts and science, and the content of study is roughly the same. The differences are as follows:

1 The scope of high school mathematics in the two countries is different.

Korean high school mathematics contains most of the contents of China high school, as well as part of junior middle school grade three and part of university grade one or two. The content of junior middle schools in China is mainly the solution of quadratic equation in one variable and the application of Vieta theorem. The content in the university is the simple content in the university, and the simple formula operation mainly focuses on the conceptual difficulties. It mainly involves polynomial division, linear transformation, indefinite integral and definite integral in advanced mathematics, continuous random variables and probability distribution in matrix, probability in linear algebra, interval estimation in statistics and test of sample mean.

2 There are differences in the setting of specific concepts and symbols in senior high schools between the two countries

The concept of South Korea is not much different from that of China. Generally speaking, there are many concepts of pure mathematics in South Korea, while there are many concepts of combining physics in China's mathematics. There are about 600 mathematical proper nouns summarized from Korean high school mathematics, and about 300 from China high school mathematics. In addition, a few mathematical symbols are different, such as symbols used in permutation and combination.

3 There are differences in the way of setting questions

The scope of the two countries is different, and the emphasis is destined to be different. South Korea has a wide range, and the difficulty of math problems is relatively low. The scope of China is small, and the math problems are more difficult. As far as the two countries are concerned, China's requirements are more precise than South Korea's, but not as broad as South Korea's, while South Korea's requirements are broader than China's, but not as precise as China's.

4. Comparison of College Entrance Examination between the two countries

Judging from the forms of questions in the college entrance examination, South Korea has only multiple-choice questions and short-answer questions, while China has multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, short-answer questions and proof questions.

Judging from the number of college entrance examination questions, there are 22 questions in China, including multiple-choice questions 10, five fill-in-the-blank questions, five short-answer questions and two proof questions.

Time limit 150 minutes, total score 150, objective questions accounting for 60 points and subjective questions accounting for 90 points. South Korea has 40 questions, 25 of which must be done. In addition, the 15 question needs to be done 5 times, and a total of 30 times are needed. Time limit 100 minutes, total score 100 points, objective questions accounting for 68 points, subjective questions accounting for 32 points. Korean multiple-choice questions are 5 1 and China 4 1.

Finally, I want to say: If you want to go to high school in Korea, you must first have good family economic conditions, because the prices in Korea are very high. Another key point is to get parents' consent.
