New College Entrance Exam Score System Coming|大學考試分發入學百分制 擬改45級分制

To accommodate the launch of the new 12-year compulsory education syllabus, there will be major changes to college entrance examinations. The current exam and Advanced Subjects Test will change to new formats. However, test distribution channels will be changed from a system of 100 points to a system of a score of 45. The change has stir up many debates.


The new 12-year compulsory education syllabus will be go into effect ahead of the 2019-2020 academic year. This means major changes to the current college entrance system. The current College Entrance Examination and Advanced Subjects Test will be phased out and replaced with newer versions in 2022 for this year's high school sophomores. College application test scores will still be 15 per subject, but will change to a calculation basis of 45 during the exam distribution phase. The 100-point system for subject tests currently in use, meanwhile, will be replaced with a score of 45.

Within every score subset is a score range. An original score in the 15th score subset is equivalent to a score in the 43rd to 45th score subsets, which are the three highest, in the new system. You also have to look at how university departments weigh results to differentiate between applicants.

The College Entrance Examination Center says colleges will still look at subject test scores during the admissions process after the change and this will be enough to differentiate applicants. However, education groups say one or two points can mean the difference between students being accepted or rejected by popular departments and it remains to be seen whether the score-based system will provide enough differentiation.

(The new system with its score of 45) will result in more students with the same score. (Under the new system), Chinese, English and math scores will be used to assess applicants. Chinese and English will no longer be part of the subjects test. This means if you don't do well on the (primary subjects), you can forget about your chances this year. This is something we are very worried about. The exam will really be make or break.

In the future, the college entrance exam will test students on five subjects including Chinese, English and math while the subjects test will test students on seven subjects including physics and chemistry.

The groups say this means students that don't perform well in their primary subjects won't have a chance to make up for it later on. They are therefore calling on the Joint Board of the College Recruitment Commission and College Entrance Examination Center to give the reforms more consideration.



12年國教新課綱，預計108學年就要上路，考招制度也進行重大變革。現行學測和指考，規劃到111學年，將改為新型學測和分科測驗，適用今年的高一生，在分數採計方面，學測成績在「申請入學」時，維持單科15級分。但是到了「考試分發」階段，學測成績的15級分，將換算成45級分，而分科測驗，也會從現行指考百分制，改為45級分。

大考中心發言人 黃璀娟表示：「每一個級分裡面，它其實都是一個分數的區間，如果原來在學測是第15級分的，它轉換之後，它就會是45級分最高的三個(45到43級分)，還要再加上各個大學校系，他們有不加權到兩倍加權，其實是可以提高分發的鑑別。」

大考中心指出，分發改採45級分制，大學招生時還是會有個別科目加權，因此具有足夠鑑別度，但有教育團體認為，現行百分制，就很常出現熱門科系，因為1、2分之差落榜的狀況，因此45級分有沒有足夠鑑別度，還有待觀察。

國教行動聯盟理事長 王立昇表示：「（45級分制)可能遇到同分增額，這個比不出來的一個問題，（改制後)學測的國英數來做為這個考試入學分發的一個依據，那在分科測驗，就不再考國文跟英文，你如果說在學測考差了(主科)，那你今年就掰掰了，所以這個也是一個，我們很擔心，反而是造成了真正的一試定終身。」

教團也提醒，新型學測考國、英、數等五科，分科測驗，是數甲、物理、化學等七科，等於說，如果學生在學測，把主科考差了，後面就少了補救機會，因此相關變革如何拿捏，也希望招聯會和大考中心多多思量。
