In most countries throughout the world, Angola most likely included, there are different educational tracks depending on the goals of the students. In many cases there are high school level courses that are terminal in nature because a certain vocation or trade is studied, whereas in other cases, usually 10% or fewer, than are the so-called "university-track" courses to preparae for the entry test and eventual studies at the university level.

A outra parte da sua pergunta, se a escola secundária é a mesma coisa que a escola pre-universitária, parece que não. A escola secundária parece que é um nível mais baixo que a escola pre-universitária:

Jack, in the United Stats a "prep school" or "preparatory school" is a high school designed to send students on to college/university students. I studied at one: Culver Military Academy (see links above). Also, see the definitions of "preparatory school."

Marlene Curtis
: Mike, the credits don't make them eligible for college, they give them college credits if they pass the SAT and are accepted by a college. They have to graduate from high school to enter university,but that doesn't make high school auniversity prep school

You are right. It does not make the school a university prep school; however, it makes the specific curriculum the students must take for acceptance the "university-track" curriculum. There are private high schools that definitely are preparatory schools.

Pre-university school
Angola School education:
Basic education lasts for eight years. Secondary education or Ensino Medio is either a three-year general course or a four-year technical/vocational course culminating in the Habilitaçãos Literárias. There are also two- to three-year specialized pre-university courses running parallely. A reform to be established between 1995 and 2005 foresees a primary education of six years followed by a secondary education of six to seven years, divided into two cycles of three years each for the general course and three and four years for the technical/vocational course

O ensino médio de Angola consiste em três anos de curso pré-universitário (para alunos que vão ingressar na Universidade) ou quatro anos de curso técnico ou vocacional que funcionam paralelamente.

: I agree, but I wouldn't say "college" because in many countries "colegio" is synonymous to high school, so this lends confusion.

preparatory school
noun
a private secondary school for preparing students to enter college

Technically, you cannot "flunk" or "pass" the SAT. SAT stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test and although historically it consisted of two sections, Math and English, it now has a writing component that is fairly new. Some universities are using the writing component section, and others are not.
Scores on all three sections range from 200 - 800 points, with 200 being the absolute lowest, and 800 being teh absolute highest.
The average score is 500, and 100 point differentials in either direction are 1 standard deviation. Hence, a score of 600 means that the test taker did better than approximately 84% of the students on that test, while 700 means he did better than 98%.
Some colleges and universities do not require the SAT at all, and admit students solely on high school courses and grade.
Others will reject students with a 2200+ score on the SAT, that is the top 1%. Its usage varies greatly.
Based on the two-track system that Marelen so eloquently described, it sounds very similar to the two-track system that we also have in the U.S.: university bound or unviversity-track students, if you will, and those that are not university bound or unviversity-track systems, but rather vocational or technical, just as in the Angolan system.
I included some links in the explanation to my answer. One of them refers to Culver Mlitary Academy, a well-known preparatory school which is also a high school. This is not only because teh link says it is, but I know first-hand since my brother, one of my sisters and I all studied there.
They are usually different than regular public schools in the sense that they have much more funding and sometiems have campuses that are comparable to those campuses found at small colleges or universities.
However, they are still at teh high school level, even though they include a lot of Advanced Placement tests.
In essence, they are "university-track high schools" or "preparatory schools".
