yep. all they do is prepare for that exam, which everyone takes (which is insanely hard, btw, if anyone's seen it. NOTHING like our SATs. I doubt anyone gets a perfect score). They don't have AP classes. Cuz if China's anything like Taiwan, they don't do CRAP in college--everything they learn in high school is everything we learni n both high school AND college...plus a lot more math/science =P
Just like we have our AP level classes, and honors level classes, they have an AP level high school and an Honors level high school...all the way down to whatever. In America, teachers teach their classes for the stupidest kids in the class, so everyone can understand it. in China it's the opposite--they teach their classes for the smartest kids, so it's insanely hard. Nearly everyone has some kind of preparation BEFORE the class (most of them know all the material already before the teacher even starts teaching)
| US should adopt this form of education in my opinion. sounds pretty cool even though it will never happen due to federalism...
