山東春季高考與傳統的夏季高考不盡相同，其主要特點有兩個方面：首先，高校有了更多的自主權。在招生計劃上有調節權，生源質量好、學校條件許可，可適當擴大招生名額。其次，考生有了更多的選擇權。除由國家承認學歷的各類高等學校和高中階段各類學校在校學生外，凡符合有關規定者均可在秋考之外再選擇參加春考。但由于對考生吸引力不大，面臨被叫停的危險。

　　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.

　　藝術聯考，就是指目前國內比較權威，及教育部備案的各大藝術類院校，或者各大院校的藝術系對于高中三年級藝術類考生在高三第一學期末舉行的一次綜合的專業考試。考試合格者獲得報考院校的專業合格證，持此合格證書參加高考，高考成績公布以后，各藝術類院校進行擇優錄取。

　　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.

　　專業選擇范圍：春季高考包括18個專業，每個專業下面還有小專業，學生選擇空間大，能滿足學生學習興趣。對藝考來說，一旦選擇專業方向，后期轉型難度非常大，如美術專業，如果聯考不過直接失去校考資格，不能上大學。

　　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.

　　發展趨勢：春考招生比例基本按翻番增長速度提升，藝術生文化課通過率很低，僅到3層。

　　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.

　　考證方面：春考不需要中途校考，只需要考文化課和技能課，藝考需要統考和校考，且需要耗費大量時間去各個地方進行校考。

　　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.

　　費用方面：春季高考費用就是上培訓學校費用和考試報名費，大概費用不超過3萬，藝考輔導、食宿、交通、報名總費用在2-3萬，文化課補習在1-8萬，總計在3-10萬。由此來看，春考費用花銷支出明顯低于藝考。

　　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.

　　考試科目：春考考專業理論和技能課，專業課和技能課學習同步進行，能很好地避免文化課擱置造成的大量遺忘。藝考在每年的3月份徹底結束，考生面臨巨大的文化課學習壓力，時間段，任務重，導致過關率很低。

　　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.
