Schools Abandoning Class Ranking

<p>I think most Asian countries use a unified (equivalent to the standardized tests here, but there is only one instead of the twin-mode of SAT/ACT here) exam students take at the end of their high school (e.g., A-level). The good thing is that everybody is examined in like manner; the downside is all the 12-years of education is squeezed into that few weeks and students’ performance in those momentous weeks becomes the major determinant of where they would go/not go for college education.</p>

<p>All in all I still prefer the US system, the heaping helping for GPA supremacy notwithstanding.</p>
