I am a sophomore. I want to ask, what does the Shanghai college entrance examination mean by dividing liberal arts into science? Now I only know that we have three different languages and things.
Because the college entrance examination in Shanghai is divided into arts and sciences, which arranges the enrollment plan and admission of universities, some high schools require students to determine the arts and sciences subjects when they enter the third year of high school, and some middle schools require students to make choices when they enter the second year of high school (or even the first year of high school).

In recent years, although the number of high school students has decreased year by year, the competition for further studies, especially for entering key universities, is still fierce. Under the system of taking the college entrance examination results as the basis of college admission, the annual college entrance examination results of arts and sciences have a great influence on the subject choice of high school students. By analyzing the scores of arts and sciences in Shanghai universities from 2004 to 2005, we can see that the scores of arts and sciences are generally lower than those of science (see table 1). This gives senior high school students who face different subjects every year an illusion that science needs higher test scores to enter universities, which directly leads them to prefer liberal arts. On the other hand, because science subjects also put forward relatively high requirements for candidates, especially the need for more practice, it is easy to become more difficult. On the other hand, it is difficult to distinguish liberal arts subjects clearly, which makes students feel afraid of science and biased towards liberal arts. Another reason that can't be ignored is the guidance of middle school teachers, which intentionally or unintentionally puts great pressure on students who have temporary difficulties in studying science and drives them to develop in the direction of liberal arts. All these have caused a very serious consequence, that is, the proportion of liberal arts students in high schools has increased greatly in recent years. According to the statistics of the number of applicants for the autumn college entrance examination in Shanghai in 2008, the proportion of liberal arts is as high as 42%.

Another factor that has a direct impact on further studies is that the university's liberal arts enrollment plan seems to be unaffected by senior high school students' choice of subjects, because the university's discipline structure and requirements for students have their own laws and characteristics and are relatively stable. Take Fudan University where the author is located as an example. For many years, the liberal arts enrollment plan has been maintained at about 25%-30% of the total plan (see Table 2), which is basically consistent with the proportion of liberal arts and sciences among senior high school students before 10. This fact can also be found in the statistics related to the 2008 Shanghai Autumn College Entrance Examination. The first batch of 1 18 college enrollment plans accounted for 2 1%, and the second batch of 3 12 college enrollment plans accounted for 28%. Even if the first and second batches of undergraduate programs are combined, the liberal arts only account for 26%, only in the third batch.

In this way, a high school student who chooses liberal arts actually faces more intense competition for further studies than a science student. I think students and parents must be unexpected.

Therefore, I suggest that every high school student should be cautious when making a decision on the topic. First of all, we should really take interest as the basis for choosing a subject. There are obvious differences between arts and sciences in thinking, analysis and expression. Analysis of whether you really like liberal arts subjects from junior high school to senior high school must not be based solely on the examination results of individual subjects.
