Now I'm a student who just graduated. So sad to leave High School's fun. Now is the time to look for universities. In my country, besides from achievement points, there is a kind of national test to get a university. So, the all question for enter all universities are same. What do you think? what about university entrance exams in other countries?

In our country, the Philippines, you need to pass an achievement exam in high school before you could graduate. Then while a student is still in high school, he/she has to start working on his college applications. Each university here has their own entrance exams and specific criteria for a student to qualify for a course. =) The premiere university here in the Philippines is the University of the Philippines which has a high mortality rate, meaning that a lot of students fail to meet the university qualifications.

I would think that the entrance exam is just to see where they need to place you. For example, if you are not strong in math then your results will help the know where you need to start out so that you do not get in over your head.
