CHINA TEST-OPTIONAL INITIATIVE

Each year, 9.5 million Chinese students take the gaokao, China's notoriously difficult college entrance exam that exclusively determines which colleges graduating seniors will be accepted to. GPA, class difficulty, and extracurriculars don’t matter. A single score from a single test determines everything. Many find the pressures of such a high-stakes test overwhelming. When scores are released in mid June of each year, tens of thousands of students are disappointed with their score and have to decide, do they wait an entire year to take the once a year test to try to improve their score, or do they look for university options overseas?
