Subject selection is not only related to the pressure adjustment of children in the senior year of high school, but also related to the choice of majors for the college entrance examination in the future. Mastering the course selection skills will help children win in the first step; now Shanghai’s college entrance examination policy is that geography and biology can If you can take one or two exams in advance during your sophomore year of high school, the pressure on your senior year students will be reduced a lot, which will help your children concentrate on preparing for the major exams in their senior year.

So how to choose a subject? According to the mandatory subject guidance for majors announced by various universities in Shanghai, physics, chemistry, and geography have become the subjects with the best combination and the highest major coverage ratio. Some parents ask, wouldn't it be better to take both of them in the second year of high school? My opinion is that you must choose one subject. If you are really interested in both subjects if you have the conditions, you can choose both subjects and pass them both in the second year of high school. Because in the third year of high school, you only need to take 3 majors and 1 minor, which is more conducive to Time and firepower are relatively concentrated. After all, from the score point of view, the scores other than the number of words are higher. When we actually operate, we choose three out of six. Which subjects can we choose to get higher scores? This must be the only indicator for candidates and parents when choosing subjects.

If you want to score high, consider the following aspects when choosing subjects: First, avoid top students. It is extremely difficult to compete with top students, especially in grade examinations. Therefore, try not to choose the subjects chosen by top academics. It doesn't matter how you choose as a top student. No matter what you choose, you can kill everyone instantly. In contrast, science top students are willing to choose physical chemistry, especially physics. Not only does it have advantages, it is also relatively difficult to capsize. After all, it is talent that speaks for itself. This year’s questions are more difficult, so we don’t give the poor students a chance to make a comeback. What's more, the school they want to apply for may also require physics. With the same thought, candidates with poor grades or those preparing to major in liberal arts will definitely not choose physics. Avoid the top students. Unless the questions in other subjects are difficult enough and the distinction is high enough, everyone will be forced to choose physics. Otherwise, physics will become a competition between strong players in the future.

Take this year as an example, there are only about 18,000 people choosing physics in Shanghai, so there are only 900 places for A+, and one of the four major schools accounts for about 300 people. In other words, the big four alone can take over A+. Even the top 20% of the best students in the city can get B+ or even A if they choose other subjects. As long as you choose physics, you can only get D or E. Because the top 20% of people choose this subject, you become the last among the top 20%. Realizing this, fewer and fewer people will choose physics next year and the year after. Competition is becoming increasingly difficult.

The second is to take geography. There are as many as 42,000 students taking the Geography exam this year. If the base is large, the number of students above Grade A will be larger. No matter what grade children are in, it will be easier to improve their grade. As the grade increases, in the college entrance examination , those are all real scores. What's more, the geography subject has obvious characteristics, comprehensive liberal arts and sciences, and it is easy to get good results after professional tutoring. It has a high chance of making a comeback, and it is expected that he will become a top student. After being graded, the score may be higher than that of some physics masters.

The Shanghai College Entrance Examination results are composed of the scores of the three main subjects of Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages ??and the elective subjects of 3 out of 6 in the primary school. The full score is 660 points, including a full score of 150 points for each of the junior three subjects, and a total score of 210 points for the junior three academic level examination, with a full score of 70 points for each subject, accounting for approximately 32% of the total score of the college entrance examination. The scores for the grade examination are calculated based on the ranking.

The main three subjects of the Shanghai New College Entrance Examination, Mathematics and English, must compete with tens of thousands of candidates in the city, but the primary three subjects only need to compete with those students who have the same choice, that is, based on the ranking system Score. So what students have to do is to get a good ranking in the performance ranking of this subject. From this point of view, in the competition between Xiaosanmen, we can choose the most advantageous combination plan independently.

According to the current policy, geography and biology can be passed in grade examinations in the second year of high school. If you can take one or two exams in advance during your sophomore year of high school, the pressure of your senior year will be reduced a lot, which will help you concentrate on preparing for the three main exams in your senior year. Does this mean that the sooner you pass the exam, the better? Of course not. If you are already good at these two subjects and can get high scores in the grade examination, then we will choose to do it in the second year of high school. But if you are not very good at it, but you have to forcefully choose and the final results are not satisfactory, then the gain outweighs the loss. How to choose depends on your own assessment of yourself.

According to the 2017 guidance on required subjects for majors announced by various universities in Shanghai (see the table below), we will take a comprehensive look at how to choose subjects based on the experience of the 2017 college entrance examination. First of all, the combination of physics + chemistry + geography has a high coverage rate, and there are almost no restrictions on the choice of majors, which is an advantage.

But on the other hand, physics and chemistry are very difficult subjects, and they are also the most intensively chosen subjects for students in high divisions. The difficulty is high and there are many top students, making it difficult to get an A or above in two subjects at the same time. There are about 18,000 people taking Physics this year, and only 900 will get A+ in the end. And these 900 places can basically be taken by the four prestigious universities. So if you are not good at it, it is quite worrying to choose physics.

Then let’s talk about the combination of pure liberal arts of politics + history + geography.

If you really choose this combination, it will greatly limit the scope of major choices, and you can almost only choose liberal arts majors, which will basically have no chance for students who want to study science and engineering.

There is a famous saying among us. That is, "If you don't choose physics and chemistry, you won't be able to get into the major. If you choose physics and chemistry, you won't even be able to get into college." In addition to physics and chemistry, other options are biology, politics, history, and geography. Then let me talk about it separately.

Geography: Taking the grade test in the second year of high school can reduce the burden of the third year of high school. Including recitation and understanding, it belongs to the science subjects in the liberal arts. There are more people to choose from (after all, the second year of high school entrance examination), so it is more recommended.

Politics: Take the grade exam in the third year of high school. Choosing politics means that you can apply for most majors in universities that focus on literature. Recitation is the main thing, and understanding is the supplement. The selection is medium.

History: I took the grade exam in my senior year of high school. There are a lot of knowledge points to recite. I am an absolute history scumbag, so I can’t give any excellent suggestions. The selection is medium.

Biology: I started studying in the second year of high school. It is said that the time for taking the grade test has been changed. Can I take the test in the second year of high school? It belongs to the liberal arts among sciences. But even if you choose biology, your choice of university majors is limited. The number of choices is small (some schools do not offer biology courses)

It would be great if the subject can reconsider physics and chemistry. Because of physical chemistry, as long as there is one option, there are many more major choices in university, and the difficulty has decreased after the reform. Even if the science subject is not particularly outstanding, choosing chemistry is a stepping stone, and it is not a big problem to work hard to get 12 points. (Of course, pretend that I didn’t say that you have to go all out for 27 and 30)

Having said so much, in the end, it still depends on the students’ own positioning and understanding of themselves, so that they can choose a relatively advantageous combination. maximize the value.
