Ja, innerhalb einer Testperiode kann die Multicheck-Eignungsanalyse zweimal pro Berufsfeld durchgeführt werden. Es gibt keine Mindestwartezeit zwischen den Tests, allerdings wird das Ergebnis des ersten Tests auf dem Zertifikat des zweiten Tests vermerkt, wenn sie im selben Jahr stattfinden.

Die Multicheck-Eignungsanalyse bewertet, ob die Bewerber die akademischen und intellektuellen Anforderungen für das gewünschte Berufsprofil erfüllen. Eine Punktzahl unter dem Eignungswert von 40 kann den Ausbildungserfolg erschweren, aber die endgültige Entscheidung über die Zulassung liegt beim Ausbildungsbetrieb.

The decision between a long or short-term Gymnasium program depends on the individual needs, abilities, and educational goals of each student. Both types have specific advantages and disadvantages that should be taken into consideration.

Long-term Gymnasium

The long-term Gymnasium lasts six years in the canton of Zurich. Schooling begins directly after the 6th primary class.

Advantages

Students benefit from early immersion in challenging subjects.
Students have the opportunity to build a stable community with their classmates over many years.
You don't have to get used to a new school after 2-3 years.
Students can choose any profile or specialization.

Disadvantages

Students must decide on this path after primary school, which can be challenging for some children and parents.
Starting early can lead to increased pressure and stress.

Short-term Gymnasium

Those who do not pass the ZAP the first time can try again in the second secondary level. The short-cycle Gymnasium begins after secondary school (usually after the 8th or 9th grade) and lasts four years until the Matura.

Advantages

Students and parents have more time to observe the child's academic performance and interests before a decision is made.
Students can better assess whether the Gymnasium is right for them or whether they would prefer to pursue an apprenticeship.
The pressure is not as high in the first two years of secondary school as it is at the long-term Gymnasium.

Disadvantages

The transition to a short-term Gymnasium can be challenging, as a higher level of performance and adaptability is expected.
The material must be covered in a shorter period of time, which can lead to a higher learning load.
Pupils cannot choose all profiles or specializations from secondary school.

Summary of advantages and disadvantages

Starting at the Gymnasium later gives you more time to make a decision, but it can limit your freedom to choose profiles and specializations, as many options are only available at the long-term Gymnasium. The long-term Gymnasium provides early support and stability, but it also comes with the pressure of having to make an early decision. You should therefore choose carefully to find the best educational path for your individual needs and goals.
