AP - American college advanced placement courses. American high school students can take these courses and take AP exams after completing their coursework. After obtaining certain scores, they can obtain college credits in advance. Together with ordinary high school courses, it takes about 3 years. As a disguised university course, AP is not the standard admission threshold for universities, nor does it have the effect of a high school degree. Its main function is to allow students to adapt to foreign courses in advance and improve their competitiveness after going abroad.

A-Level - a British high school course, somewhat similar to the British College Entrance Examination, and is also a university entrance examination course for British students. A Level includes more than 70 subjects involving liberal arts, science, engineering, business and other subjects, and this is closely related to the choice of undergraduate majors.

IB - International Baccalaureate Diploma, a two-year course designed by the International Baccalaureate Organization for high school students. The IB curriculum is divided into six basic subject areas, covering both science and humanities subjects. Students must choose one course from each of these six subject groups.
