The Alezian Union Final Examination, commonly known as the AUFX, is a standardized college entrance exam held annually in the Alezian Union. It is required for entrance into almost all higher education institutions at the undergraduate level. It is taken by students who has received their Palha'u (Secondary Education Certification) who failed to enter through the Invitational System in the year the test was taken, or anyone who received certification equal to Palha'u pre-reunification.
The exam usually last about four hours over the period of four days, however students could take less or more hours depending on the what requirement does the participant's selected university demands.
History
Pre-reunification
Before reunification of Alezia happened, North (which at the time include Mosin-Nagan and Northern Pantabang Islands) and South Alezia (which include Southern Pantabang Islands)'s education systems were separate. Even though the education systems enacted in both countries were similiar, they have almost to no interaction between them.
In North Alezia, students who graduated High School take what was called a North Alezian Final Examination (NAFX) which started in 1962, while in South Alezia, students who graduated Higher Secondary Education take what was called a Nationaal examen (National Examination in Dutch) which started in 1960. Both of the certifications cannot be used to attend university in the other's education system.
Inception
After the reunification of Alezia ensued, one of the main targets of the Ministry of Education of the Alezian Union (MINED) is to ensure that students continues to be educated and progressed to further education. Due to this, MINED (under the supervision of the State Council of the Alezian Union) immediately launched the "Two Paths to University" (TPU) method.
In the TPU method, anyone who graduated under the Alezian Union curriculum (or known as "The First Graduation Alumni") are given the chance to either be recommended by their school to be selected on a non-test method or if they were not selected or if the first path fails, to take a test called AUFX which scores shall be used to pick their university of choice. Students who graduated with certificates from the North Alezian or South Alezian authorities shall be allowed to take AUFX as well.
The AUFX's groundworks are almost entirely based off the North Alezian method with additional supplexes from the South Alezian method. This was in order to ensure quality and to produce a qualitative curriculum throughout the Alezian Union.
Purpose
The purpose of AUFX is to test a candidate's ability to study in college, with the questions based on Alezian high-school curriculum, which provides data required for tertiary education admission.
Design
The exam shall have its' questions designed by 200 of the best teachers from all regions of the Alezian Union (each region sends 50 teachers) in order to adapt the questions to the abilities of all students, ensuring that all students from all regions get the same chance of entering university.
Requirements
In order to be able to take the AUFX, someone must:
- Either have a certification of Pa'ala'pa'ala Ha'uma'ana (or Palha'u which means Student Certification) issued by the Ministry of Education of the Alezian Union, OR have a same-level certification issued by the previous educational authorities from North Alezia (Student Certification) or South Alezia (Ijazah), OR have a same-level certification issued by an education authority from another country recognized by the Ministry of Education of the Alezian Union.
