The 2024 postgraduate mathematics exam has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions. Different candidates have different opinions about the difficulty of this exam, but most of the candidates said that this exam was very difficult, and some even described it as a "difficult" nightmare experience. They are frustrated and devastated by the difficulty of the exam. The article will explain the candidates' reactions from different perspectives.
The difficulty of postgraduate mathematics is sometimes relative, and the easier the questions, the easier the questions, the easier the mistakes, and those seemingly difficult questions are the key points. As mathematician Zhang Xuefeng said, "Just because the question is simple doesn't mean your answer is necessarily correct." "Especially in mathematics, if you get the wrong idea, even the simplest question will be far from the correct answer. Therefore, blindly answering questions will only get half the result. Candidates need to answer the questions thoughtfully, not guessing. The evaluation of difficulty and ease is also related to the candidate's personal mathematical foundation. If the candidate has a good grasp of the revision process and has strong mathematical ability, then it is natural to feel that the exam is relatively easy. Looking back on my graduate school experience, I used to be good at mathematics, but I chose to major in Chinese language and literature, which has nothing to do with advanced mathematics. Not only that, but I also took the self-study exam in finance, and I needed to take 13 majors that year, of which except for advanced mathematics, the other 12 were economics majors, and most of them needed to be memorized. The most embarrassing thing for me was that even after my undergraduate studies, I only passed one course - advanced mathematics (in fact, I didn't even study advanced mathematics, I just taught myself calculus, although I have long forgotten all about it). However, many students passed the other 12 courses, and the only course that they failed was also high mathematics. Therefore, the difficulty and ease still vary from person to person.
Judging from the feedback from the candidates, the difficulty of the national postgraduate entrance examination mathematics in 2024 is generally high, and most candidates feel that the questions are more difficult. Their opinions can be found in the comments and hot searches. However, a small number of candidates felt that this year's math exam was relatively simple and much easier than last year. This opinion is not accepted by most candidates.
Postgraduate mathematics is a subject that requires in-depth understanding and flexible application, and candidates need to solve various complex problems in a limited time. Every year, there will be some new difficult questions in the mathematics test to test the candidates' logical thinking ability, ability to analyze problems and ability to solve problems. Therefore, it is true that there may be some new difficulties in this year's math test compared to last year, but not everyone will benefit from it.
Going back to the postgraduate math exam itself, some test takers believe that more difficult questions are more beneficial for candidates who revise well. This is because in a more competitive situation, candidates want to use difficult questions to open up the gap with other candidates. This mindset is similar to that of the gaokao, where difficult questions are an opportunity for candidates with excellent grades, and more profitable for candidates with intermediate or upper middle grades. However, if the results are not good in the first place and they are not carefully reviewed, then it does not matter whether it is difficult or easy for such candidates, because their registration fee is just wasted.
For those veteran candidates who have taken the exam multiple times, they have accumulated more than a decade of experience and are already very familiar with how to cope with the exam. They understand that the most important thing is to face the exam calmly and perform at their level normally. They know that only by facing the exam smoothly can they account for their previous revisions.
As a highly competitive exam, the 2024 postgraduate mathematics examination not only examines candidates' mathematical knowledge, but also examines their thinking ability and test-taking ability. It is important for candidates to prepare carefully and have the right mindset. No matter how difficult or easy the exam is, candidates should face it with a calm mind and give full play to their strengths. Some of the reasons for the decline in the number of applicants may be the fear of difficulty among candidates, but there are also those who are confident in themselves and believe that they can further improve their academic qualifications and abilities through the postgraduate examination.
In my personal experience, I have also encountered various difficulties in exams. But through repeated efforts and continuous learning, I finally achieved the desired results. I believe that as long as the candidates maintain the right attitude and are well prepared, they will be able to achieve the results they expect. I hope that everyone can face the postgraduate entrance examination mathematics and other problems with a positive attitude, believe in yourself, and work hard.
