考試經濟學 (2017/09/09)
考試經濟學 (2017/09/09)
未到8月,10月初香港機場附近的酒店已經一房難求,原因不是撞正黃金周,而是又到了SAT(Scholastic Assessment Test)考試的日子。SAT是申請美國高校的必要考試,因內地試場不接受持中國護照考生報名,內地考生只能遠赴臨近的香港、澳門、韓國、新加坡等地應考。隨着內地出國留學熱,近年報名參加SAT的考生數量每年以50%的速度激增,地理位置優越的香港成了異地考試的首選。
為方便監考和管理,2011年香港SAT考場進行改革,在亞洲博覽館設立了超級大考場,考場面積大,高峰時可安排超過一萬考生應考,被考生和家長們戲稱為「萬人坑」。培訓機構和海外留學中介,考試期間在場館內設立展位,向家長們介紹留學資訊,衍生出一套考試產業鏈。SAT儼然成為了亞博的一項盛事,熱鬧程度不亞於大型展會。
「不到香港萬人坑,就不算真正考過SAT。」在香港的考試經歷,成了考生們的共同回憶。雖然考生人數眾多,考生對亞博的評價不俗,考場舒適、指示清晰、流程有序。監考人員的專業盡責的態度也得到了委託方美國教育考試服務中心的認可。而且SAT可以重複多次報考,亞博成了不少內地考生的專屬考場。
除了學生,陪考的家長亦是一支消費生力軍,考試期間必要的酒店、交通、膳食開支,加上附帶的觀光、培訓等消費,保守估計每次一家人花費超過數萬元不為奇。香港一年舉行6場SAT考試,全年接待考生超過
6萬人次,當中超過90%是內地考生,這場美國版的高考,為香港帶來了一場考試經濟的盛宴。
