Is the American college entrance examination difficult?
The "college entrance examination" in the United States is not easy. Although the United States does not have a unified college entrance examination like China, American universities also need to evaluate applicants' scores. For the time being, we will call these compulsory exams the "college entrance examination" in the United States.

The American college entrance examination has these characteristics:

1, you can take the exam as many times as you want, as long as you pay.

2. You can choose the highest score from several test scores and mail it to the school you apply for.

Examination results are only one aspect of admission. School grades, teachers' letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, etc. Often more important than exam results. American universities don't like nerds who can only take exams.

Most American high school graduates can go to college. Therefore, many American students will not spend so much time and energy reviewing the college entrance examination. Generally speaking, parents will not put so much pressure on their children. ?

There are enough universities in America. Any high school graduate who wants to go to college has no problem at all. Therefore, in many public universities in the United States, the only criterion for enrolling students is 18 years old. However, we also know that about half of the graduates from public high schools in the United States are not qualified to go to college at all.

If the placement test finds that a student is only in the first grade of primary school, I'm sorry, please attend the "literacy class" specially set up by the university for adult students first, and then go to the university-level course after you graduate from high school. I have seen a statistic. 1995 by 2000, the scale of "literacy classes" in American community colleges increased from one tenth of that in ordinary schools to one third of the total number of classes in schools. Obviously, the scale is getting bigger and bigger.
