Adult college entrance examination and self-taught examination
Adult college entrance examination and self-taught examination are two main ways to improve academic qualifications. Although you are still a technical secondary school after the first degree exam, your second degree, that is, the highest degree, will become a junior college. The time and place of the exam are arranged by the province. I don't recommend taking the self-taught exam because I haven't experienced it either.
Secondary vocational education to higher vocational education examination
The examination from secondary vocational schools to higher vocational schools is another way to improve academic qualifications. The time and content of this kind of examination are exactly the same as those of the ordinary college entrance examination, but the examination room is separate. The college degree obtained in this way is your first degree. Want to know more? Don't worry, there are professional and experimental exams waiting for you. The three kinds of scores add up to your total score.
Examination content and recognition
The contents of the two exams are based on the knowledge learned in ordinary high schools. But in contrast, the second exam is more difficult, because it also includes practical results, so the recognition of academic qualifications is higher. However, most work units may not care much about whether your college degree is the highest or the first. The content of the exam is either learned by yourself or organized by the school. The situation is different.
Invest energy and time.
No matter which way you choose, it takes effort and time. But remember, every step is important, and your efforts will eventually light up the way forward. Come on!
