Has anyone here taken the "gaokao," China's college entrance exam?
>most stressful exam in the world
>nine hours long, spread out over two days
>there are two streams: social science and natural science
>acceptance rate for the top two universities is 0.3%
>schools install "suicide catchers" to prevent students from killing themselves
Is China where humanity went to die?
>they're communists
sounds about right
I wonder what percentage of their time is devoted to studying material vs. learning ways to cheat
Looks like one slipped by the suicide catchers
or time spent learning how to sabotage others
when you have a literal fuckton of people, this is the kind of nonsense you have to do to filter out the noise.
>Physics: Place two parallel charged metal plates horizontally an equal width apart with Point A in between them. Suppose Point A releases one charged particle and the particle stays stationary. If the two plates rotate by 45 degrees counter-clockwise around the axis of Point A, and then Point A releases another identical particle at a standstill, that particle will...
This is impossible to answer since an axis cannot be defined by a single point. They also said that the particle will veer off in some direction, which I'm pretty sure is wrong. Assuming the axis they didn't properly define is perpendicular to the faces of both plates, the particle should still not move. What a shitty test.
I took that same practice test and got a 6 out of 8. Guessed on that question and got it right.
For anyone wondering, here's the practice quiz:
