Comparison of evaluation systems of high school students in China and North America (3)
Compared with the unitary Chinese evaluation system of high school students which relies on simply ranking the numerical scores, the North American criteria for selecting candidates is relatively more comprehensive.
Numerical grades like SAT are just one aspect of the whole package. However, recommend letters, internships, research experiences, sports performance, and competition prizes etc. are all taken into consideration. If one of these aspects is outstanding enough, it can make up for the disadvantage of standardized exams.
No doubt North American mode values guiding the teenagers to grow into “wholesome” adults whose mind are not trapped by the restriction of exam papers.
