The advantage of the preparatory course is that you can enter the university with lower scores and study with goals to make up for the lack of knowledge. You won't be so blind to fill in the college entrance examination, laying a good foundation for entering the undergraduate course. Of course, it is easier than entering the university directly, and you can experience and integrate into the university life more quickly and adapt to the university environment.

Disadvantages: It takes five years. Taking the preparatory course means that you will go to college one year more than others, get one year more tuition, and graduate one year later than normal college students.
