China's annual national college entrance examination, known as gaokao, kicked off on June 7, marking a crucial time for millions of students aspiring to higher education. But how does this monumental test compare to similar examinations around the globe?
Arina, an Armenian student currently studying at Ningbo University and having spent her middle school years in Russia, delved into this topic by exploring Russia's Unified State Exam. 🌏📚
According to Arina, the Unified State Exam in Russia is tailored based on the university and the majors students are applying for. However, Russian language and mathematics are mandatory subjects, ensuring a solid foundation for all candidates. The exam duration can be quite lengthy, with some tests lasting up to three hours and 55 minutes. ⏰📝
As the gaokao season unfolds, Arina extends her heartfelt wishes to Chinese students preparing for the exam. \"Stay calm and focused. Good luck!\" she encourages, embodying the supportive spirit needed during such a pivotal time. 🍀💪
