【爸媽在海外】是否要提前高考？一定先問清學校這3大政策，否則一失足成千古恨追悔莫及！

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Parents Abroad. I'm Ellie. Today, I'm going to talk to you about whether or not to take the college entrance exam in advance. Speaking of whether or not to take the college entrance exam in advance, there is one very important thing I want to remind you of. You must, you must, you must go and see what the policy regulations of your child's school are like. Which important policies, the policies of the school, do you have to go and see? Today, I'm going to talk to you about it. Policy number one, the first one, is that you must ask the school if you can take two or more college entrance exams in the same subject. In other words, if your child chooses this course in advance and takes the college entrance exam, is it possible that in the future your child will still choose this course and take the college entrance exam? Yes or no, it may affect your choice with your child. Why do I ask this? Because many children and parents are worried about one thing, that is, if I choose a course in advance, for example, when I was in the 10th grade, I chose a biology course, a biology course in the 12th grade for the college entrance exam. But after the exam, I found that the result was not so ideal. What should I do? The exam is over. Isn't that just a blow to death? So you must ask your school, if my college entrance exam results are not ideal this time, can I choose this course again in the 11th grade or 12th grade? And then take the college entrance exam again. What is the policy? So this question must be asked. Of course, if the child gets very good at the exam, we don't have to worry. But before the parents and children make a decision, they always want to consider the next step for themselves, or a way to make up for it, right? Then the second question to ask is, if you can repeat the college entrance exam, what will be the final choice of the college entrance exam results? Because this is actually not the policy of the school, but the policy of each state. Some states will say, choose the best result from the same college entrance exam results twice or more times. Of course, this is the best solution. But some state governments have stipulated that, if you took the same course and took the college entrance exam multiple times, then we will do an average score and then take the average. There are also some state requirements, that is to say, if you took this course twice or more than twice, then I'm sorry, your second college entrance exam results will shrink. For example, let's take biology as an example. For example, your biology score is 95%, which is still a very good score. Let's not talk about all kinds of scaling. There are some subjects that after the exam, the final college entrance exam results are higher than the average, and some are lower than the average, so there will be some scaling in it. Let's not consider this for now. For example, you and others took the same biology exam, and everyone got 95 points. If other students got 95 points for their first biology exam, then they got 95 points. There is no suspense. But since you took the same course for the second time, some state policies will stipulate that if it's not the first time, then your points will be reduced. That is to say, maybe you got 95 points, but in the college entrance exam results, you will be reduced to 93 points or 90 points. Because in the second exam, people may think you have more advantages than others, so your grades will shrink or discount. So you have to be careful. So you have to check with the school about this. First, can you repeat the exam for the same college entrance exam? Second, after repeating the exam, are there any other consequences? For example, the grades shrink, or you can't get the highest score, you can only get an average score, and so on. This is the first very important question you have to ask. The second very important question you have to ask is related to the reason why you chose the college entrance exam in advance. You have to ask the school, if I chose the college entrance exam for one or two courses in advance, or even more courses, then in the third year of high school, did I have any requirements on the number of subjects I chose? What does this mean? Because different schools still have different regulations. Some schools say, if your child finished a college entrance exam in the 10th grade, and finished another college entrance exam in the 11th grade, then when the rest of the students reach the 12th grade, when the rest of the students have five courses to take, your child may only have three courses. At this time, you have to confirm with the school if my child only needs to take three courses in the third year of high school. Some schools will tell you, yes, no problem. So if he says yes, that's exactly why you want to take the college entrance exam in advance, or the driving force behind it is consistent. You think, the third year of high school, learn less. First, the pressure is small. Second, every class in the third year of high school, you have more time to study. That is, you will have more time to review every class. It will bring your child a better advantage. In this regard, it's easy for you to make a decision. But, but, however, as we often say, every school has a different policy. Some schools will tell you directly, no, you can't. After that, there will be different choices. Some schools say, if you take the college entrance exam in advance in 10th and 11th grade, and take two courses, there will only be three courses left in 12th grade. But the school will strictly stipulate that every student in 12th grade must take the same number of courses. That is to say, everyone must take five courses. Whether you take the college entrance exam in advance, or whether your courses have been filled, you must take five courses. At this time, you have to consider and discuss with your child, do we still need to take the college entrance exam in advance? For some students and parents, choosing to take the college entrance exam in advance is because they hope that they can have fewer courses in 12th grade, and less pressure. That may not be your goal. But some students and parents finally decided that they wanted to take the college entrance exam in advance, not because they have fewer courses in 12th grade, but because after the college entrance exam, they can continue to study further. At this time, the school's policy may be more beneficial to you and your child. Because the school will say, look, this child has already finished the mid-level or low-level exams in 11th grade. Then in 12th grade, because he has to continue to choose math or choose the same number of subjects, for example, we still have high school courses to choose from, we still have college preparation courses to choose from, etc. So these schools often provide more types of courses, including some courses that will also provide students with a chance to study further, such as college preparation courses. I hope you understand this point clearly. Is this what your child expects? Some children may say, I don't really want to study so fast, I don't want to study college preparation in high school. But he can also choose some, how to say, relatively easy courses. For example, he can choose some arts, music, including sports, and then there are these multi-talented courses. It's not a lot of pressure for the child to learn. At the same time, it won't pull his grades down, but it will make him look good. So these three big policies, or these three very critical issues, remind you that when your child chooses to take the college entrance exam in advance, you must ask the school what its specific policy is, including the state where the school is located, what its policy is. Don't make a decision blindly, ask the policy clearly before making a decision, so that it will be more beneficial to you and your child. That's all for today.
