How do you propose they do college admissions then?

[EMIRELADERO]

Implement a foundational year, similar to the Ciclo Básico Común (CBC) in Argentina, my country, which all students must pass to move on to their chosen majors. This serves both as a basic foundation for all students and acts as a filter to manage the number of students who continue to the specific fields of study.

For some highly competitive fields, like medicine or law, an entrance exam is implemented. This isn't a comprehensive test like the SAT or ACT, it's specific to the field of study.

One extra year of study before beginning the major will be prohibitively expensive for the lower middle class and the poor people.

Perhaps they could ask the other countries that don’t turn off the entire internet.

Germany has a mix of (semi) standardized tests with student performance over the last two (three) years. Additionally universities are usually very lenient on acceptance (at least in engineering/science), but very harsh on failing students. (Which is a much fairer system IMO)

Most countries are able to do standardized testing without shutting down the internet

How come rest of the world don’t block the internet during the college admissions?
