山东春季高考与传统的夏季高考不尽相同，其主要特点有两个方面：首先，高校有了更多的自主权。在招生计划上有调节权，生源质量好、学校条件许可，可适当扩大招生名额。其次，考生有了更多的选择权。除由国家承认学历的各类高等学校和高中阶段各类学校在校学生外，凡符合有关规定者均可在秋考之外再选择参加春考。但由于对考生吸引力不大，面临被叫停的危险。

　　The spring college entrance examination is different from the traditional summer college entrance examination, which has two main features. First, colleges and universities have more autonomy. With the right to adjust the enrollment plan, the enrollment quota can be appropriately expanded if the enrollment quality is good and the school conditions permit. Secondly, examinees have more options. Except the students of all kinds of institutions of higher learning and high schools whose academic qualifications are recognized by the state, those who meet the relevant regulations can choose to take the spring exam in addition to the autumn exam. But it faces the danger of being suspended because it is not attractive to examinees.

　　艺术联考，就是指目前国内比较权威，及教育部备案的各大艺术类院校，或者各大院校的艺术系对于高中三年级艺术类考生在高三第一学期末举行的一次综合的专业考试。考试合格者获得报考院校的专业合格证，持此合格证书参加高考，高考成绩公布以后，各艺术类院校进行择优录取。

　　Art joint examination, it is to point to the domestic authority at present, and the Ministry of Education put on record of each big art colleges, or the art department of each big college for high school three grade art students in the end of the first semester of a comprehensive professional examination. Those who pass the examination will obtain the professional qualification certificate of the university they apply for and take part in the college entrance examination with this qualification certificate. After the results of the college entrance examination are released, art colleges and universities will select the best ones for admission.

　　专业选择范围：春季高考包括18个专业，每个专业下面还有小专业，学生选择空间大，能满足学生学习兴趣。对艺考来说，一旦选择专业方向，后期转型难度非常大，如美术专业，如果联考不过直接失去校考资格，不能上大学。

　　Scope of major selection: The spring college entrance examination includes 18 majors, and there are minor majors under each major, so that students can choose a large space to meet their learning interests. For art examination, once the choice of professional direction, the late transition is very difficult, such as art major, if the joint examination but directly lose the school qualification, can not go to university.

　　发展趋势：春考招生比例基本按翻番增长速度提升，艺术生文化课通过率很低，仅到3层。

　　Development trend: The enrollment rate of spring examination is basically increasing at the rate of doubling. The passing rate of art students and cultural courses is very low, only reaching level 3.

　　考证方面：春考不需要中途校考，只需要考文化课和技能课，艺考需要统考和校考，且需要耗费大量时间去各个地方进行校考。

　　In terms of textual research, there is no need for the spring examination, only need to take the cultural courses and skills courses, and the art examination needs to take the unified examination and school examination, and need to spend a lot of time to go to various places for school examination.

　　费用方面：春季高考费用就是上培训学校费用和考试报名费，大概费用不超过3万，艺考辅导、食宿、交通、报名总费用在2-3万，文化课补习在1-8万，总计在3-10万。由此来看，春考费用花销支出明显低于艺考。

　　Cost: the cost of the spring college entrance examination is the cost of the training school and the exam registration fee, which is probably no more than 30,000 yuan. The total cost of the art examination tutoring, accommodation, transportation and registration is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. The total cost of the cultural courses is 10,000 to 80,000 yuan, which is 30,000 to 100,000 yuan. From this point of view, the cost of the spring examination is significantly lower than the art examination.

　　考试科目：春考考专业理论和技能课，专业课和技能课学习同步进行，能很好地避免文化课搁置造成的大量遗忘。艺考在每年的3月份彻底结束，考生面临巨大的文化课学习压力，时间段，任务重，导致过关率很低。

　　Examination subject: spring examination of professional theory and skills class, professional class and skills class learning synchronization, can very well avoid the use of cultural class caused by a lot of forgotten. The art examination is completely finished in March every year. The examinees are faced with great pressure of learning cultural courses, time and heavy tasks, resulting in a low pass rate.
