>In China, there is no limit on the number of times a person can take the Gaokao. Candidates can retake it as many times as they wish, candidates had to be under 25. Since 2001, there is no maximum age limit, allowing adults of any age to sit the exam.people told me if you fail this exam your life would be over, why was I lied to? it looks like they're weeding out people that would drop out in the first semester of their programs.
>>17015990Just because you can try again doesn't mean you are allowed to fail. Any employee or school can see that you are year older than you should be and bin your application instantly.
>>17015990Time is valuable. People don't respect you at University if you're 29 without a PhD for example.
>>17015994>>17016009this mentality will(already) ruin(ed) your self confidence.
>>17016013If you don't have a PhD at 26, you always be lower than an indian or a chinese guy who has one.
>>17016015Just seek another job then lmao
>>17016015If you don't attend a top 10 American school, your education will always be below any education in China or Russia. I hear in India you can pay for a PHD so I guess that's about even with an American education.Now that I think about it, looking at the AI bubble the americans created for themselves, I doubt even the rich elites are getting a good education. oh well...
>>17016009>>17015994Yet there are plenty of Chinese who did thwir exams late or started their academic journey later than usual.
>>17016022economic conditions create competition for opportunity. If there's room for 1 engineer position in a company with 100 applicants there's going to be a lot more nitpicking compared to 100 engineering positions and 10 applicants, they might even start taking people off the streets and training them into the role like they did with the tech boom in the 90s
>>17016019Nobody will ever hire a retard with a bachelor's degree from Cornell which he finished at 28 years old for a top research position compared to a chinese or indian with a PhD at 26 years of age.
>>17016025>chinese or indianI guess you left out russian because they're not stupid enough to waste their time brown nosing nepotistic university staff that will never promote them? Even the chinese are starting to wise up so it just leaves indians they can abuse.
>>17015990Nobody fails the gaokao, they just don't meet a certain cutoff for some school and get send lower tier or even vocational schools. Also apparently in order for you to retake the exam you also have to redo the last year of high school, since that's the only way for you to register to take the test. Apparently different unis in China used to organize their own admission exams, but that has since been banned.
>>17016057>to retake the exam you also have to redo the last year of high school
>>17015990Tons of people try a second time, it's called 复读. But the results are usually similar, most people simply hit their ceiling and won't get better.
So many chinks. I thought /sci/ was just a bunch of pajeets.
>>17016175I'm aspiring to become a white monkey in china
>>17016029The Indians are bailing because you can either do private sector research, go government if they are citizen or lucky if PR, go private into startups or businesses, or leverage your options and return home and do the above.
>>17015990In the west they only have suboptimal education till college to weed out all the local farmers and people that don't need it and causes waste.
>>17016015Ranjeet, it's obvious you're a Hindi, and I DON'T just mean because of the smell
I wonder if you could find a couple of sample or previous test sets from Gaokao. I would like to test myself with it.
>>17016019and other fantasies you can tell yourself as a mentally ill contrarian.
