How does the new GCSE system work? 英国“会考”:GSCE 新体系有何变化?
GCSE 是“General Certificate of Secondary Education 普通中等教育证书”的缩写形式,相当于英国学生的“初中毕业文凭”。从前,GCSE 测试的成绩从 A* 到 G 划分。自今年起,英格兰地区部分科目,包括英语(文学和语言)和数学,已采用9到1级的新数字评分制度,其中9级为“最优秀”。另有20门科目会在2018年采用新的评分体系,剩余科目也将于2019年陆续开始使用此评分标准。
This is the year when the reform set in train by Michael Gove start to affect England’s exam system. Changes which he promised would make the qualifications more ambitious with the intention of stretching the brightest pupils further.
In English language, English literature and maths, the GCSE content is now more demanding. For these subjects only, grades will go from a top 9 down to 1, instead of A* to G. A number 4 will count as a ‘standard pass’. Fewer teenagers will get the very top grade of 9.
In Wales, the A* to G system is being kept, although six GCSEs have been reformed. There are now two maths GCSEs: one aimed at numeracy needed for work or training, the other more advanced, abstract maths needed for some university courses.
