关乎每一个考生!2021年AP考试重大变化你知道吗?
这事儿得分两个角度来看,为了给大家解释清楚,今天这篇文章,专门请到我们锦秋学院的总监杨念老师,来给大家用大白话解读—CB官方换伙伴对考生的实际影响。
大家好,我是新航道锦秋学院的杨念老师,CB换了新的伙伴,对我们考生有什么影响?首先,要先看看官方是怎么说的。
在CB的官网上,官方其实已经给出了明确的信息,下面就是CB官网上的原文信息:
Taking AP Exams in China
To meet the needs of AP students in China, there are two types of testing locations:
International test centers are international schools authorized to give AP Exams to their own students, who are generally citizens of countries other than China. Typically, these schools don’t administer exams to students who aren’t enrolled in their school. NOTE: Students at these schools who wish to take AP Exams at international test centers in China must register with their school’s AP coordinator to sit for an AP Exam.
Local test centers serve students who are enrolled in local public or private Chinese schools authorized to offer the AP Program. They administer AP Exams to students from multiple schools. For the 2020-21 school year, College Board will partner with Prometric to manage overall exam registration and administration for local test centers. Students must register in fall 2020 for the May 2021 AP Exams. Instructions will be sent directly to the school’s AP coordinators. Students may also visit https://www.prometric.com.cn/apchina.
划个重点
考试地点只给了两类,国际测试中心和当地测试中心,国际测试中心只能给自己学生参加AP考试,但是当地测试中心可以给其他学校考生提供考试。
这个政策乍一看是不是还挺友好的?但我注意到,官网又给出了下面这个耐人寻味的信息:
AP Exam Eligibility for Students Testing at Local Test Centers:
Must be affiliated with an AP school that has a CEEB (College Board) school code. NOTE: Self-study codes by province will no longer be used for AP Exams in China.
Must have either a Chinese National ID (for citizens of China) or a valid passport (for citizens of countries other than China) with a valid visa to China.
Can’t take an AP Exam in a given subject more than once in the same year.
Can’t take both AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC in the same year.
Can take any or all of the 4 Physics exams in the same year.
Must be born after May 31, 2000. Students should be aware that every school and local test center has its own internal exam registration period. If you think you’ll need to test in China in May 2021, contact the school’s AP coordinators as early as possible in September and October. For further information, go to https://www.prometric.com.cn/apchina.
说明什么呢?这里是考点,都好好记下来。
参加当地测试中心的学生必须拥有以下条件:
在CEEB有学校编号的AP学生,注意社会考生不能在中国AP当地考试中心考试
要有身份证号或者护照号码(外国人签证必须有效)
一门课在本年只能考一次
不能同时考微积分AB和BC
可以一年考四门物理或者其中任意一门
必须是2000年5月31日出生的。请在自己的AP学校报名
也就是说,只有CB授予AP代码的学校的AP考生才可以通过Prometric报名2021年度的AP考试。
那么如果你是下面这两类学生:
①普高自学AP的学生
②在AP学校借读的学生
就无法通过Prometric进行大陆AP考试的报名。
“老师,如果我恰好是这两类考生,那还怎么考试呢?”
别慌,我们这里有方案—
去新加坡、中国香港、韩国等地参加2021年的AP考试。
目前中国香港的AP考试报名已经开始,考生可以登陆官网进行2021年的香港AP考试报名:https://online.hkeaa.edu.hk/Portal/home.xhtml
官网上也给出了具体考试报名信息。
除了中国香港外,新加坡和韩国也对所有国际考生开放了AP考试报名。
