Whether or not the third-year students are ready, the high school entrance exams truly came after the Dragon Boat Festival.
Probably because each province's examination institute sets their own questions and schedules, the high school entrance exam doesn't draw nationwide attention like the college entrance exam does. But for parents everywhere, the anxiety is similar.
Especially in the Star City District, according to authoritative data from the education department, the elimination rate for ordinary high schools in previous years has been as high as 55%. In other words, only 45% of students taking the exam will have a high school to attend. Those who don't pass can only choose vocational high schools or the so-called 3+2 joint bachelor's program.
