The difference between the American and British education system

American education system The American system has an exam called the SAT Self-Assessment Test. It is an exam in mathematics and English. If a student does not feel that he performed well in it, he can apply to retake the exam to improve his score. The student can retake this exam 6 times. The percentage of the score he gets from the SAT exam is 60% of the total score. As for the remaining 40%, it is separate from the SAT exam and is tested in school. ** There is an agreement between schools and universities on the basis of which the certificate is accredited. ** Students can easily learn how to criticize as the American education system enhances this skill within students. There are methods and techniques that aim to stimulate the thinking and innovation process in students at a young age. ** The number of schools accredited to the American system in the world has reached more than 600 schools.
British education system In order for a senior high school student to graduate from school, he must pass the General Certificate of Secondary exam. The overall result obtained by the student determines his academic fate and which college he will join, and whether it will be a public or private university. ** There is also an agreement between schools and universities through which the accreditation of the certificate is determined. ** The British system is not a modern system, but has been in existence for more than 11 years.
