The Ministry of Education announced the official 'no-examination' admission quotas and ranking intervals for the 115th academic year today, facilitating the high school placement process for students. Analysis from the 'Univ-Question' platform suggests that grade distribution in the Comprehensive Assessment Program for Junior High School Students has remained extremely stable between the 113th and 115th academic years, with fluctuations within 0.5 percentage points. Consequently, admission thresholds for prestigious schools are expected to remain consistent.

In major school districts like Taipei, Hsinchu, and Taichung, the data shows a pattern where top-tier schools have rigid thresholds while middle-tier competition intensifies. Notably, in the Hsinchu-Miaoli area, the number of students achieving '5A' marks increased by 123, potentially raising thresholds for top schools like Hsinchu Senior High by a single '+' mark.

Wei Chia-hui, CEO of 'Univ-Question,' warned middle-tier candidates to carefully calculate their preference order points, particularly in the Taichung-Changhua-Nantou district, where point deductions after the 11th choice can determine school placement. To assist students, a collaborative AI counseling tool developed with the New Taipei City Education Department is available to provide customized volunteer recommendations based on historical data.
