In 2020 there is no longer entrance exam points. Instead high school papers are used to enter University, those with best high school scores will get the university study places.
No longer you can try to get into University simply by learning the stuff required in said University entrance exam, since there will be no entrance exam.
High school graduation points are looked upon in such a way that Finnish language is always one of the criterias, others are, second the mathematics and the third is either one of the science disciplines: biology, geography, psychology, history, physics, or the science can be replaced by foreign language, usually English but German and French is fine too.
(UNIVERSITY DESERVES RIGHTS TO DETERMINE ITSELF WHAT SCORES IT IS LOOKING FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION PAPERS IN THE PROCESS OF QUALIFYING THE APPLICANT)
There may be set limit: you need to have at least grade M on English to qualify on a certain university. (M = Magna Cum Laude, Finnish high school grades are in Latin as is the tradion, so is High School hymn sung in Latin)
to reward ingenuity and independent scholarship, and not test-taking skills

well tbf from my experience it doesn't really matter whether you're being tested after or during high school

I dont remember seeing an explanation why they exactly want to change things, the old system have been running nicely for 30 years
Maybe it is simply because they just feel like changing it

So you punish those smart enough to ace exams while having previously been mediocre students while rewarding teacher's pet tryhards even if they're dumb as rocks?
Nice, now you can screw your life even younger than ever before and cannot redeem yourself for actually enjoying your high school years.
James Edwards
Girls tend to be better at following arbitrary instructions and doing things on time so they have better grades in school. Exams are sexist because even lazy men can ace them.
For example, my grades were somewhat above average but nothing exceptional in high school because I never did any homework and skipped class most of the time, yet I aced all the final exams and thus got to the top of every university admissions list I applied to. Some of my buddies did the same.

tryhards are the bedrock of a successful society

Bro, in the old system people can give fuck all effort in high school and just cram for University entrance exam and get in, learning barely anything. Now they have to give a shit in school, commit everything to memory and actually learn shit, why is this not a good thing?
No, in every country you dumb fuck. You have to TRY HARD to succed.

Awarding those who adapt themselves perfectly to the status quo and involve via their professions to maintaining society's structures is going to get more apparent in the near future. Simultaneously socioeconomic mobility will be reduced significantly. Ergo, our societies will become more and more machine-like. Or at least that's the goal. Pic very much related. Soviet Union is also related in the topic.
Most of the stuff you learn in school is completely irrelevant. Obviously basic skills like language and the things that are directly related to whatever degree you want to pursue should be tested but what difference does it make whether you learn it in school or cram it for an entry-exam, you´ll forget most of it shortly after anyway.

From what I've gathered it's all countries. With the possible exception of elite schools or insect countries where they force the kids to hand calculate the fluid dynamic behaviour of gasses in a turbine undergoing nuclear fission in 4th grade or something.
Owen Gray
This. Anybody who disagrees is probably either a midwit still in school or an underachieving f*male proud of their collection of smiley stamps for showing up to class.

look a those juicy lips I wonder if the father sells the mouth and throat of her daughter to his friends as their fleshlight.

The point was that the society will become more rigid in the near future. Degrees, for absolutely everything, will become more defining. Etc. Etc. Etc. And if you don't play by the book, you can't play at all. Or at least they are trying hard to make it that way. Technocracy.
Chase Rogers
it's the same here , what's the problem ? the whole point of highschool final exams is grades that you use for uni entrance if uni dosnt use that highschool is pretty much redundant .
Julian Barnes
This, a society needs vegetables to follow suit with idle brains, because they are easily asserted tasks without thinking twice about it. The NPC meme is quite an accurate depiction of this.
I was quite the same but didn't do anything afterwards and am a NEET to this day.
Dylan Morgan
Why did you become a NEET? All you had to do was go to university.
