The 2024 postgraduate mathematics subject has ended, and many candidates have said that the difficulty of mathematics has indeed increased this year. Compared with last year, this year's math test questions are more difficult to understand and calculate, and some test takers bluntly said that the difficulty of this year's math test has increased significantly. In last year's exam, some candidates were able to easily score more than 140 points, but this year's exam made them feel that even 120 points were difficult to achieve. Not only that, but there are also some candidates who realize that this year's math exam will be very difficult after the preliminary exam. After all, between 2021 and 2023, the difficulty of the math exam is not very large, so it is to be expected that the difficulty of math will increase normally this year. The amount of calculations required for graduate school mathematics is huge, and many candidates can't help but feel like they're having a mental breakdown when dealing with the test questions.
Expanding: The difficulty of mathematics in this year's postgraduate entrance examination has indeed attracted widespread attention, and it is highly discussed on social **. Many candidates shared the difficulties they encountered in the exam, expressing their confusion and challenges for this year's math exam. They generally felt that this year's math questions were both difficult to understand and difficult to calculate, which caused them a lot of stress and distress. Some test takers even said that they felt that this year's math test was much more difficult than last year's, and that it was difficult for them to achieve a score of 120 this year, who were able to easily score more than 140 points last year. This change does surprise and unsettle many candidates, because mathematics, as one of the three main subjects in the postgraduate entrance examination, has a direct impact on the overall score of candidates. If you don't do well in mathematics, it will be very difficult to get into the university of your choice. Because of this, the year when the math questions are easier each year tends to produce a large number of candidates with super high scores. Compared to last year, this year's math questions are obviously more difficult, which also reflects the possibility that the score will not be too high. Some test takers have complained that this year's math questions are very difficult, making it difficult to understand ideas and perform calculations. In particular, the amount of calculation required for some large questions can be daunting, and it is difficult to determine the correctness of the answers even if they are completed. For the first module of mathematics, some candidates bluntly said that they could not choose any of the four options in the questions, and there were also two questions in the big questions that could not be answered, so that even if the score was perfect, they could only get 100 points. Many test takers also agreed with this point of view, and left a message in the comment area saying that they originally wanted to get at least 120 points before the exam, but they realized that they might not even be able to achieve 100 points after the exam, which was really panicked. There are even some experienced veteran candidates who have scored more than 140 points in the 2023 postgraduate entrance examination mathematics, but their estimate for this year can only reach 120 points is already good. This phenomenon can be seen, and there is indeed a certain degree of difficulty in this year's postgraduate mathematics. But this is actually expected, the past three years of postgraduate mathematics has not been very difficult, so this year's increase in difficulty also means that the overall candidate's score will not be too high. At the same time, some candidates bluntly said that this year's math questions were too difficult, and they even felt that they had no hope after the exam, either they simply did not prepare for the professional class exam in the afternoon, or they were ready to take the second exam. As for how many people choose to give up the professional course exam in the end, perhaps only they know it well. Now, the preliminary examination is over, and candidates can relax for two days. But then it's important to take care of the performance estimates, which are based on the worst and best grades. In the worst-case scenario, a minimum score is calculated by excluding all the points for those questions that may be lost;Then take into account all the points that might be available to calculate a maximum score, so that your actual score is likely to be between the two scores. After determining your score range, you can refer to the retest score of previous years to determine how likely you are to enter the retest. If the highest score does not reach the re-examination score, then there is no need to prepare for the re-examination, and you can consider taking the second test or looking for a job directly. If the lowest score can reach the retest score, you can prepare well for the retest. If you're not sure, prepare for both the re-exam and the second exam at the same time. In short, this year's postgraduate entrance examination English and mathematics are relatively difficult, especially mathematics, which has a huge amount of calculation. Coupled with the fact that the number of test takers has decreased, the cut-off score may also be lowered. I don't know what you think about this?Feel free to leave a message in the comment area to share your views!
The difficulty of this year's postgraduate mathematics exam has indeed brought a lot of pressure and worry to many candidates. Compared with the past few years, the difficulty of the math questions in this year's test has increased significantly, and many candidates have to spend more time and energy to understand the meaning of the questions and complete the calculations, and some candidates are even unable to give correct answers to some questions at all. This situation has led to a drop in the score expectations of many test takers, and their self-confidence has also taken a certain hit. Especially for those who performed well in mathematics last year, this year's increase in the difficulty of mathematics has forced them to re-evaluate their level and goals, and for them, it is already a challenge to achieve a score of 120. Overall, this year's postgraduate mathematics entrance examination has become more difficult than in previous years, which also makes many candidates feel that they need to work harder to achieve the desired results.
Although mathematics only accounts for 150 points of the total score, it has an important impact on the overall score of candidates. Mathematics is a subject that can widen the score gap, and its score directly determines the overall ranking of candidates and the probability of admission. Therefore, the importance of math results cannot be overlooked. If you don't do well in math, it will be very difficult to get into the university of your choice. Last year, when mathematics was relatively simple, many candidates scored more than 400 points in the re-examination, which shows the impact of mathematics scores on the overall admission results. However, this year's situation may be different, and according to the feedback from candidates, the difficulty of the math questions has increased significantly this year, which means that the scores will not be concentrated in the higher band as they were last year. Therefore, candidates need to take math revision seriously and try their best to improve their scores to increase their chances of getting into the re-examination.
At the end of the initial test, candidates should start estimating their scores to get an idea of their chances of getting into the second test. At this point, candidates can set a range of minimum and maximum scores based on the actual situation for estimates. In the worst case, you will not be able to count any points that you may have lost to calculate a minimum score. Then, take into account all the points you might be able to get to calculate a maximum score. Through a combination of these two extremes, candidates are able to get an approximate range of their scores. Next, candidates can refer to the re-examination score of previous years to determine whether they can enter the re-examination. If none of the highest scores can reach the retest score, then there is no need to prepare for the retest, and you can consider taking the second test or looking for other ways out. If you can achieve the minimum score for the retest, then you can prepare for the retest with confidence. If you're not sure, prepare for both the retest and the second exam. In short, according to the difficulty of this year's math exam and their own level, candidates need to evaluate their scores reasonably and be fully prepared for the next re-examination.
This year's postgraduate entrance examination English and mathematics are relatively difficult, mainly for the following reasons. First, the education department may want to improve the overall quality of the candidates by increasing the difficulty. In the past few years, the difficulty of postgraduate mathematics has been relatively low, resulting in a concentration of scores in the higher range, and the gap between candidates is not obvious enough. By increasing the difficulty, it is possible to better distinguish the level of candidates and ensure the selection of truly outstanding graduate students. Secondly, the number of graduate students may have decreased this year, which has also led to a possible downward trend in the cut-off score. Due to the epidemic and other reasons, the number of applicants for graduate school this year may be relatively small, so the cut-off score may also be lowered accordingly to ensure a relatively stable acceptance rate. Finally, the purpose of postgraduate mathematics is to select talents suitable for scientific research and academic research, so the difficulty of the test questions may match the actual work needs, and be closer to the practical problems and scientific research needs. Candidates need to recognise that it is normal for this year's increased difficulty to be present and prepare accordingly.
