The college entrance examination papers vary from place to place, so the scores are different. To be exact, there is no clear score line, only a rough critical score segment. You may score higher than this, but you will be eliminated from the interview. Shanghai is about 540 points this year, which is higher than Fudan's lowest line of 523 points 17 points and lower than Tsinghua Peking University 10 points. You can have a general reference. Shanghai scored about 550 points last year, which was about 10 lower than Tsinghua Peking University. I'm not particularly clear about other places, because the number of students enrolled is less than that of Shanghai. I asked my classmates from other places and came to a general conclusion that most of them are less than 30 points lower than the local champions, and some of them are even champions themselves.
2, the interview is not difficult, it is a group discussion, six candidates around a table, two examiners, they give us a topic to discuss freely for 30 minutes, they observe and score. If both scores are high, you will pass directly; if both scores are low, you will be eliminated directly. If the first grade and the second grade are inconsistent, there will be a second interview, which may be deeper for you alone. I passed it directly on one side, so I don't know the details on the other side. Speak boldly during the interview, but because everyone has limited time to speak, don't interrupt or grab words, which is not good for you. Maintain the most basic etiquette.
3. I used this idea when I applied, but as far as I know, it was difficult and I didn't find a particularly suitable student loan. What can be considered is that your college entrance examination score is high enough, and the University of Hong Kong will provide you with an entrance scholarship. Or scholarships from other social organizations. For example, Soong Ching Ling Foundation has Zhiyuan Scholarship Fund Project. If you pass all the interviews, you can get a grant equivalent to half of the Hong Kong Prize (the actual amount is actually more than half of the bonus), which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure of the family. There are no strict rules on vocabulary, depending on your major, so it's hard to say which word book will provide you with great help or rely on your usual accumulation.
But what you have to do now is to do well in your college entrance examination. If your score in the college entrance examination is not high enough, everything in front is empty. Take a down-to-earth look at your current senior three study, do your every step, come on.
