趁現在記憶猶新,決定來紀錄一下Q姐第一次參加中學升學考的經驗。
在英國,基礎教育的學制和台灣是不太一樣的。這裡是滿4歲的9月進入小學學前班就讀(也就是QDD這個年紀)、5歲念小一,11歲則進入中學就讀然後一路念到18歲上大學。所以目前10歲的Q姐是國小六年級,明年就要升中學了。
關於中學的選擇,每個家庭的考量和選擇也都不相同。有些會直接選填當地學區內的公立中學、有些會為此孟母三遷搬到好學區、有些是從同一間小學直升上去(蠻多私立學校是從4歲一路念到18歲)。 BUT,如果打算讓孩子進入比較 #升學導向 或是所謂的 #頂尖中學 ,這裡通稱Selective Secondary School,那麼就得在孩子升上六年級的第一學期參加廣為英國家長熟知的11plus(11+)升學考試,考題圍繞在英文、數學、NVR(圖像推理邏輯)和VR(文字推理邏輯)四個科目。 也因為這個考試的存在,許多小朋友都是從五年級甚至四年級開始準備,刷題、補習、或請家教算是基本配備。就我所知,Q姐班上大概有一半的同學決定走考試這條路。
至於11+這個制度可說是非常複雜,光用一個篇幅是講不完的,因為英國光是中學就分成私立公學(public school,大家最熟知的就是伊頓啦)、私立中學、公立中學、文法學校(Grammar school)…等。 有些地區是整個郡舉辦會考然後填志願、某些熱門搶手的文法學校是 #獨立招生 考1-2輪筆試,私立中學甚至是筆試加面試。 重點是,每個區域或是學校的考法都不太一樣,有些是GL題型、有些CEM題型、私校ISEB等…. 看了是否一個頭兩個大?
———
時間回到9月1號當天,是Q姐人生中第一場中學升學考,這天要考的是位於北倫敦傳說中非常難考、獨立招生且錄取率極低的頂尖文法學校(Grammar school),歷年來每年幾乎都是3000多人報考,第一輪取300人、第二輪再篩選至最後100人。 其實這間並非我們的主要志願,因為距離我們家1個多小時車程真的超遠,會報名考試單純是抱持著挑戰看看的心情而來。
當天因為QDD有線上家長會,所以我和隊友分頭行動。 我在家和老師開會、DDC帶著女兒舟車勞頓前往學校陪考。 根據DDC的現場回報,在場的排隊隊伍綿延至學校外牆超遠處(而且因為報考的人數太多,考期還分成兩天有上午場和下午場)。 現場的學生人口組成,10個裡頭大概有 👉 6-7成都是印度學生、剩下1-2成看起來是華人臉孔、剩下的1-2成才是白人。 對於這考生比例之懸殊,我們也覺得好奇妙(我和北邊的學校真的不熟啊)
反正當天Q姐看起來是老神在在,排隊等候時還拿著小說蹲著看(可能因為這間不是主要目標)。考試時間是一小時,共78題,等於每題思考+填答案時間不到50秒。考完之後Q姐是說她有寫完,有部分題目蠻難的但沒有想像中難,聽她描述完,我心裡還默默想說「該不會真的有機會考進第二輪吧?!」
然而,上週四我們接到這間學校的email 通知,今年和往年一樣共3000個學生參加考試,可以進第二輪(前300名)的錄取分數是346,Q姐差了3分結果沒進….. 。收到結果的當下,我還在擔心該用什麼方式和Q姐說,很怕女兒信心被擊潰或自暴自棄之類的(畢竟她還蠻常玻璃心 XD),但他爸直接直球對決和女兒講考試結果,並且坦然地說這也沒什麼,妳已經盡力了。幸好Q姐也沒有太在意。
雖然我們早就知道這間學校超級難考、也不在我們的主要志願裡,但Q才考第一間就敗「北」,說沒有一點點小失落是騙人的。 不過,考過之後真的是沒什麼遺憾,畢竟Q已經發揮她最大的實力,只能說這對我們來說算是開眼界了,知道原來在英國、在倫敦,還是有這麼一群更努力、更用功、更厲害的小朋友們!!
總之,由於Q姐一直以來都是讀公立小學,五年級以前完全是在「沒作業、沒考試、沒壓力、甚至不知道 #參考書為何物 」的快樂環境中成長,所以當初決定走上考11+這條路,我和DDC也是從碰撞中學習,公立學校沒教的我們只能靠自己教(但英文我倆程度都比女兒差,只好請家教),更希望這段備考期間她能在適度的壓力和放鬆玩樂中取得平衡。 然後這一切只是剛開始,因為我們大部分報考的都是私校,考試是從11月才開始啊啊啊,要一路考到明年1月才結束。 等考完之後,我一定要報復性玩樂,日子實在是太悶了嗚嗚嗚。
#才10歲就要面對大考其實挺殘酷的
#唯有歷經過這一切
#才能戳破歐美升學完全沒壓力的粉紅泡泡
#輕鬆是可以超輕鬆但一旦要競爭就是和各國的人一起競爭
#一不小心寫好長看完是真愛
補充:蠻多人好奇Grammar school是什麼?字面上直接翻譯是文法學校,但更確切的稱呼可以稱為『重點學校』。簡單來說,就是比較升學導向的頂尖中學,絕大部分的Grammar School都是公立的,完全免學費,但就是要透過這樣學術競爭的方式考進去。如果換成台灣的學校來想,可以想成台灣的北一女、建中、雄中雄女等學校,只是英國這類的學校選擇又更多。
