I loved the wall the school had up of students from the school that went onto college.<\/p>\n<p>The school in the show is a public school where you have to pay tuition. The tuition was 22 bucks a year which the show said was around one year worth of family salary.  The school does not have any sports teams.<\/p>\n<p>Students can get put into honors classes, but can easily be pulled out of them if they do not do well in them.<\/p>\n<p>Students at the school were studying seven days a week.  The school does have a four week vacation though.  <\/p>\n<p>The students are looking at getting into either Beida or Tsinghua University which are elite universities in the county.<\/p>\n<p>One student though got into Tsinghua University through taking a math exam.  Getting a top 40 score got the student a gold medal.  He wound up scoring a silver medal.<\/p>\n<p>Think included link has a bunch of stuff like sample exam question, trailer, production diary, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>for you had a one hour show titled &#8220;China Prep&#8221; looking at five Chinese students at Bashu Middle School #2 getting ready for the National College Entrance Exam.
