Introduction.
The Graduate School Entrance Examination is a way for a person to seek a higher education and career development, and has always been valued by people. In recent years, there has been a slight decline in the number of master's student enrollments, leading many to speculate that by 2024, the postgraduate entrance exams will be less difficult. However, taking into account various factors, I believe that the difficulty of the postgraduate examination is still relatively stable. The article analyzes various aspects, together with relevant information and case studies, so that everyone can have a clear understanding and grasp of the difficulty of the 2024 Graduate Record Examination.
Graduate admissions have declined, but 4 million candidates still apply.
Although the number of graduate school entrance exams has decreased by 360,000 this year, it still stands at 4.38 million. Although the number of candidates this year is significantly smaller than that of the previous year, it is also a considerable number, which cannot be ignored in any respect. Although some people say that the reduction of the graduate school entrance examination may mean that the difficulty of the examination has decreased, I personally do not think that this reduction will have a big impact on the overall situation of the examination.
So, among so many candidates, who has the ability to go ashore?It can be said that only a few students who take the graduate examination can spend their time and energy on the graduate school entrance examination in the examination. Most of the rest are holding on to luck or herd mentality, and do not do enough "chaperones". Therefore, even if the number of applicants has decreased, the number of students who can participate in the competition is still very large, so the competition for this competition is quite fierce.
The high elimination rate remains high, and graduate admission is no easy task.
According to statistics from recent years, the dropout rate of the Graduate School Entrance Examination has been increasing year by year. Take 2022 and 2023 as an example, there will be 4.57 million graduate students enrolled in the two years, while this year there are only 1.24 million, 1.25 million, 3.11 million, 3.11 million, and 3.19 million.
If by 2024, the number of graduate students enrolled this year is still 1.25 million, then about 3.13 million candidates will be brushed off among the 4.38 million applicants. This number is still very high. Therefore, although the number of applicants for the postgraduate examination has decreased, a considerable number of candidates have been brushed off, and the difficulty of the postgraduate examination has not diminished in the slightest.
The number of graduate students enrolled has declined, and the proportion of students who have been exempted from admission has increased.
While fully grasping the total number of students, it is also necessary to pay attention to the changes in the number of students who are exempted from admission. It's a pity that in 2024, things won't be so rosy. The number of exempt students in many universities is rising, that is, the number of graduate students will be less and less. Although the number of students applying for the examination has decreased, the increase in the number of graduate students and the decline in the number of graduate students will still have some impact on the competition for graduate students.
Therefore, even if the number of students applying for the examination decreases, the enrollment of master's students will decline, and the number of master's students will increase, so the competition for graduate school entrance examination will be more severe, and there will be no decline.
The national score line is stable, and the difficulty of the master's examination will not change in the short term.
Because it is a nationwide selection, it is relatively stable both in terms of difficulty and nationwide. Statistics in recent years show that the statistics over the years have been relatively stable, with few major abrupt changes. This means that the difficulty of the postgraduate examination is a relatively smooth process, and there should not be much change in the short term.
So, with the number of graduate students declining, we can't take it for granted that graduate exams will become easier. The difficulty of the test questions, the number of students enrolled, and the performance of the candidates on the spot are related to the results of the second exam. Therefore, I think that the difficulty of the 2024 postgraduate examination is still relatively stable, and the decline in the number of applicants has not had much impact on various colleges and majors.
Brief summary. In short, although the number of applicants for the postgraduate examination has decreased this year, this does not explain the difficulty of the postgraduate examination. First of all, even though the number of applicants has declined, there are still millions of candidates taking the postgraduate examination, so the competition for this examination has not weakened because of this. Secondly, the percentage of eliminations is still very high, and many people have been brushed off in this game. In addition, the increase in the number of graduate students enrolled and the decline in the number of graduate students also play a role in the difficulty of the graduate school entrance examination. Third, graduate admission is a nationwide merit-based test, and its difficulty and national score are relatively stable across the country.
I believe that by 2022, the difficulty of admission to master's degree will not decrease, and it will still be a difficult college entrance examination. If you want to achieve the purpose of the master's entrance examination, you must go through a period of hard Xi and improve your comprehensive quality in an all-round way.
