The Chinese university entrance exam system is changing to make the process more fair and more humane, according to some Chinese press [in Chinese]. Reforming the gaokao, China's current entrance exam system, the new system will feature "multiple measures, multiple choices, and multiple opportunities." Multiple measures, in the sense that in addition to the standardized test other factors, course tests and portfolios will be taken into account. Multiple choices, in the sense that students will be able to choose between subjects, colleges, and admissions processes. And multiple opportunities, in the sense that students can take the test more than once in a year. This post is a good detailed summary of the changes.
