Valuable experience when using transcripts for university admission

Actively choose a school, choose a major early

Students today have many ways to access information about university admissions, training methods for professions as well as employment trends of the society. Therefore, they have the basis to select information, actively orient themselves in the professions they love and have the ability to pursue long-term. Choosing a school and choosing a career has ceased to be a mandatory job orientation of the family or school, but has become the perception of students, especially in grade 12, naturally.

Grade 12 students now actively choose schools and majors quite early

Tran Van Loi is currently a 12th grader, Nguyen Dinh Chieu High School, Tien Giang. Loi shared that he liked information technology and wanted to study in a dynamic and experiential environment, so right from the 10th grade, Loi decided to enroll in FPT University.

Actively choosing schools and majors also helps 12th graders like Loi soon have a suitable study plan to meet the requirements for academic records to participate in this method of admission to universities.

Have a study plan to reduce pressure

Through research, Loi learned that FPT University has many enrollment methods, including the method of using high school transcripts for candidates who are among the 40% of students with the best study results according to the ranking of the SchoolRank tool. developed by FPT University.

Male students find this enrollment method gives them the initiative, reduces exam pressure, but requires a long-term study plan, maintaining good results to have an advantage over other candidates. “I chose the method of using transcripts, so I tried to achieve and maintain good academic results throughout the semesters. That way, I’m not too pressured in the final stage of 12th grade and when I’m preparing for the high school exam,” Loi shared her experience.

Loi also added: “If my score is not satisfactory, I still have the opportunity to retake the high school exam. These two options help me feel that the study has a clear goal but does not become too burdensome.”

Determine your ranking against national students

One of the facts that makes 12th grade students “headaches” for many years when choosing a university is that they get high scores and still fail or apply for many aspirations but do not pass any aspirations. This paradox stems from the lack of tools to support each student to properly assess his or her ability compared to high school students nationwide. Therefore, from the beginning of 2020, FPT University researched and put into use the SchoolRank lookup page, allowing high school students across the country to look up their academic rankings for free compared to their friends across the country. Tran Van Loi also knew the SchoolRank tool.

SchoolRank helps 12th graders know their rank compared to high school students nationwide according to transcripts or high school exam scores.

“Convenient, easy to use, even if no one guides me, I can still use it by myself”, the male student shared his experience of trying to rank his study results on SchoolRank. Determined to choose FPT University soon, right at the end of the 2nd semester of 12th grade, Loi used the scores of 9 basic subjects in 11th grade and 1st semester in 12th grade to rank herself through SchoolRank. “Currently, I have met the criteria to be in the Top SchoolRank according to my academic records, so I can be considered assured that I can study the subject I like. Now I just need to pass the high school graduation exam, reducing the exam pressure,” Loi said.

High school students, especially grade 12, have spent a long time learning online. Although at this time, many localities have allowed students to return to school, but before the complicated development of the epidemic, many F0 and F1 children are still forced to study online. That context makes students have to flexibly adapt, choose for themselves appropriate university enrollment methods. The experience gained from the reality of the previous enrollment seasons is also a useful tool for 12th graders to be confident before the high school exam and the upcoming university-college entrance exam.
