[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6274119, member: 22779"] Canada handles things a bit differently. There are no SAT's or university entrance exams at all. ((Granted, it's been some time since I lived in Canada, so, it might have changed, if it has, then I've got egg on my face yet again)) You are granted entrance to universities based on your grades in school. When I went, some years ago, they looked at your final GPA and that was about it. Getting into university was easy. Graduating was difficult. Contrast with Japan or Korea where it's unbelievably hard to get into the school you want. Insanely difficult tests for entrance and competition is brutal. But, once you're in, you're pretty much guaranteed to graduate so long as you actually bother to show up to class and virtually guaranteed a job before you graduate. Not sure which system is better. :D Every one of my 3rd year uni students have jobs waiting for them after they graduate next year. Sheesh, must be nice. The companies in Japan almost do all their hiring through job fairs at universities and induct new employees a couple of weeks after graduation. [/QUOTE]
