Overseas students put China to the test

 With Chinese students flocking to schools overseas, students from other countries are, in turn, spending their summer vacations in China to prepare for college entrance tests.

Lower costs and a break from their daily routines are among factors attracting them, as well as the academic atmosphere of classes that focus on improving college entrance exam results.

According to New Oriental School, China's largest private education institution that prepares students for foreign college entrance exams such as the GRE and SAT, 90 percent of students in June who took SAT courses in Beijing were from overseas.

These tests are designed by overseas education committees to examine their ability to enter foreign universities, and Chinese training schools are mastering the art of improving scores, he said.

In many countries, test preparations tend to be individual affairs with a tutor and student, but in China the atmosphere of the class and student interaction can be a benefit.

"In Chinese prep classes, students focus on the same goal of getting better grades and they study together," Wang said, adding that the cost in China is lower.
