Do immigration police have a selection exam?

The most difficult thing for children who have just arrived in the United States to adapt academically should be the switch between Chinese and English. Most courses in American middle schools are not a problem for China children with good level. It is difficult to start reading English books, but it can be overcome with time. However, even children with good English are afraid to speak even when they first arrive. Often they have a little knowledge of what the teacher said because they missed or didn't learn some words or some special idioms (especially quips and puns) in class. Many times, the whole class burst into laughter, and they didn't know what they were laughing at. As soon as the teacher finished a sentence, everyone began to whisper to each other, which was completely miserable.

There is no shortcut to this situation. As long as you ask more questions and learn more, it will gradually get better after a period of time. Even Native Americans may not be completely perfect. When you arrive at your new school and home, you should worship the pier first, and find a classmate or child who looks smart and friendly to worship him as a teacher. The classmate sitting next to you should be more flattering. It's just that smart children are usually not very friendly, so they would rather choose friendly but not very smart people than smart children with bad mouths to make friends.

If you leave after finishing high school in China, you should be in the eleventh grade in the United States before you can directly connect. But the eleventh grade is the most crucial year to apply for a university, and all the important exams and school grades account for a high proportion. Even if the school lets you go directly to the eleventh grade, you will have to peel off your skin just to adapt to the new life and environment, which is likely to affect your competitiveness when applying. It's safer to reread the tenth grade if you want to be steady and steady.

It's normal for you to be confused and afraid now, and you should be prepared to make a fool of yourself or even fall when you are new here. But as long as you are open-minded, you will know that there are too many things to learn, but you will have a better chance to catch up. Don't pretend to be cool when you know that ducks listen to thunder, or you will lose if you stutter in English for fear of being laughed at.

As long as you solve the first two problems (English and the decision to transfer), your ACT/SAT and other issues will not matter. Tuition fees of public and private universities and so on are related to your future level and competitiveness. After coming to the United States, whether your homework is good or not will determine these options. It's no use worrying now. The outline of these things will gradually become clear after you stay in the United States for a period of time.

Finally, American students are naughty, mostly because of the plot in the movie. As long as you go to a school that pays attention to further studies, it is unlikely that there will be students fooling around all day. But American high schools do have drug problems, so we should pay attention to making friends. It may not be a bad thing for a friend to take it home for his parents to identify.
