The 2024 postgraduate entrance examination is over, and the postgraduate entrance examination party can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but the next re-examination is still a huge challenge for them. This year, the number of applicants for graduate school has been declining for eight consecutive years, with an overall decrease of 360,000. Although the number of graduate students is hitting a new high every year, this year's decrease has strengthened the determination of candidates to take the exam. This also means that as the number of applicants decreases, the chances of landing the postgraduate entrance examination party also increase accordingly. It is gratifying that, according to the invigilator, the number of people who have abandoned the postgraduate examination this year has exceeded 1.14 million, providing an opportunity for those candidates who persevered to the end to pick up the leaks and go ashore.
This year, many candidates chose to give up on the eve of the postgraduate entrance examination, for different reasons, some candidates felt that they were not serious enough to prepare for the exam, and some candidates chose to abandon the exam because the exam location was far away from their own location. Every year, a large number of students choose to abandon the exam, which is normal in the graduate school entrance examination. Especially last year, due to special reasons, the number of people who abandoned the test reached 35%. However, what is surprising is that the number of students who abandon the postgraduate examination continues to increase this year, and some invigilators said that in the examination room she is responsible for, the number of abandonment of an exam has reached a maximum of 12, and the minimum number of students is 17, that is, there are students who have abandoned the exam in each examination room. Some students give up outright, while others choose to give up because they did not do well in the first subject. In addition, some students leave early in the graduate school entrance examination process and choose to give up. According to the data, the number of test dropouts in 2024 will exceed 1.14 million, which is a staggering number. The invigilators all said that in 2024, the postgraduate entrance examination party will have the opportunity to go ashore if it persists until the end. Especially after the end of the 2024 postgraduate entrance examination for political subjects, many students have said that the political topics are very simple, and some people even Xiao Si have been blinded by many political topics, although mathematics and English are more difficult, some students still say that they are acceptable, and they have a high probability of successfully landing ashore.
The reduction in the number of applicants and the number of abandonments is good news for the party. For students, choosing to go to graduate school after graduation is to improve their academic qualifications. Postgraduate entrance examination is an important way to improve academic qualifications, and after three years of graduate school, you can add a lot of competitive advantages. Due to the current severe employment situation, many students choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination to ensure future employment. Graduate students not only have high salaries and benefits, but also have more room for promotion. Parents also mostly support students in going to graduate school. The postgraduate entrance examination is similar to the college entrance examination, both of which are exams to select talents. The winner is the winner, and only hard work can successfully go ashore, otherwise it will be eliminated in the preliminary stage.
China's postgraduate examination is divided into two stages: the preliminary examination and the re-examination. The preliminary examination has ended, which makes the graduate school entrance examination party breathe a sigh of relief. However, the real test they face is in the re-examination phase. Compared with the initial examination, the re-examination is more difficult, and it tests the patience, perseverance and comprehensive ability of students. Unlike the initial test, the second test does not have a standard answer, and it tests the student's ability to adapt to changes on the spot. Many students are rejected by the interviewer because they are too nervous and do not perform well, and this is the moment to test the student's mentality.
The 2024 postgraduate entrance examination party ushered in a good news, with more than 1.14 million people abandoning the exam, and the opportunity to go ashore increased. Although there has been a decrease in the number of applicants and abandonments this year, it is a great opportunity for candidates who have persevered to the end. Although the topics for this year's graduate school entrance examination are relatively simple, this is not necessarily a good thing. Simple questions may lead to an increase in the cut-off score, and the graduate school entrance examination party needs to be well prepared. The re-examination stage is a huge challenge for the postgraduate entrance examination party, and they need to show their comprehensive ability and make psychological adjustments.
For me, as an education editor, I believe that the graduate school entrance examination is not only a personal challenge, but also a test of our entire education system. It can be seen from the changes in the number of applicants and the number of abandonments that more and more students are aware of the importance of the postgraduate entrance examination and have clearer goals and plans. Whether or not they end up ashore, I am confident that the knowledge and experience they accumulate in the process of preparing for the exam will have a positive impact on their future development. For the graduate school entrance examination party, no matter what the result is, it is important to be able to grow and progress in the process, and lay a solid foundation for their own life.
In the whole process of postgraduate examination, we cannot ignore the examination of students' comprehensive ability in the re-examination stage. In addition to academic skills, students' communication skills, teamwork skills, and adaptability are equally important. I hope that all the postgraduate entrance examination parties can pay attention to the improvement of their own quality and constantly improve their comprehensive ability when preparing for the re-examination.
Finally, I encourage all of you to maintain a positive attitude in the face of challenges, make unremitting efforts, and believe that you will be able to achieve satisfactory results. Whether the purpose of the postgraduate entrance examination is to improve your academic qualifications or realize your dreams, I hope that you can discover more self-worth and gain more life experience in the process. Good luck to all of you on the shore!
