Recently, many postgraduate students have generally reported that the questions for the 2024 postgraduate examination are relatively simple. Many candidates feel that the difficulty of the questions is much lower than expected after completing the exam. The last big question of the politics of the graduate school entrance examination coincided with the hit variety show "Flowers and Boys", which surprised the candidates who usually chase variety shows. In addition, the new question types of English questions have left some candidates feeling confused, and the mathematics papers are generally considered to be less difficult. As a result, the number of applicants for graduate school has decreased by more than 300,000 compared to last year, and it is expected that the abandonment rate may exceed 20% this year. However, the difficulty of the postgraduate examination is not directly related to the simplicity of the questions, because the real purpose is to select the students with the strongest learning ability. Although the questions for this year's postgraduate examination are relatively simple, it does not mean that candidates can easily pass the test, because the competition is still fierce, and the results of various subjects can be combined to determine whether to go ashore.
Many graduate students have questioned the reason for the simplicity of the questions in this year's graduate school entrance examination. Some people believe that the reduction in the number of candidates has led to the simplification of the questions, while others believe that the education department has deliberately reduced the difficulty in order to reduce the pressure on candidates. However, these views are all personal speculation and are not supported by conclusive evidence. In fact, the level of difficulty of the exam is based on a combination of factors such as feedback from the previous year's exam, adjustments to the syllabus, and an assessment of the overall level of the candidate. Therefore, we should not simply attribute the simplification of the topic to a certain cause, but should look at the problem from a holistic perspective.
The simplification of the test questions will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the candidates. First of all, some test takers may lose their attention to the test because the test questions are too simple, which leads to carelessness and increases the risk of losing marks. Secondly, candidates generally feel that the test questions are simple, and they will naturally think that the answers are easy to come up with, thus creating an illusion of overestimating their own abilities. This illusion can cause candidates to misjudge their level of preparation, which in turn will affect their performance in the re-examination stage. Finally, the simplification of the questions can also be a disappointment for candidates who are well-prepared and have high hopes because they expect to show their abilities by solving difficult problems, but they are unexpectedly faced with a simple paper.
On the premise of simplifying the test questions, candidates should remain cautious and calm and avoid taking them lightly. First of all, it should be clear that just because the questions are simple does not necessarily mean that you will be able to answer all the questions correctly. Everyone's knowledge reserve and problem-solving ability are different, and for candidates applying for the same major, some people may find simple questions difficult for others. Secondly, candidates should realize that the selection examination has not become less competitive, and the final victory or defeat depends on the performance of the overall score. Even if a subject in the preliminary examination is relatively simple, candidates should not take it lightly because there will be a more rigorous examination in the re-examination stage. Finally, candidates should continue to maintain a high level of learning and should not relax their revision because of the simplicity of the test questions. The re-examination is an important part of deciding whether you can go ashore or not, and only by going all out can you have a greater chance of achieving your goals.
Through the analysis of the simplification of the questions in this year's postgraduate entrance examination, I believe that candidates should not rely too much on the difficulty of the test questions in the preparation process. The difficulty of the test questions is only one part of the exam, and what really determines the outcome is the candidate's overall learning ability and re-examination performance. Therefore, candidates should pay attention to the cultivation of comprehensive knowledge reserve and problem-solving ability, rather than just pursuing the reduction of the difficulty of the questions. In addition, candidates should not overestimate their abilities because of the simplicity of the test questions, and should maintain a humble and serious attitude during the re-examination stage. Finally, candidates should have the right mindset to stay focused and hardworking, regardless of the difficulty of the questions, and not allow themselves to slip into complacency or anxiety. Only by doing your best can you do well in your exams and achieve your goals.
In short, there is no direct relationship between the simplicity of the questions and the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination, and for candidates, the key lies in comprehensive preparation and a positive attitude. No matter how difficult the test questions are, you must persist in working hard and constantly improve your learning ability and problem-solving ability in order to stand out in the highly competitive postgraduate examination. At the same time, it is important to understand that the real purpose of the selection test is to select the students with the strongest learning ability, not just to select them by difficult questions. Therefore, candidates should treat the exam with a positive attitude, maintain a stable psychological state, and believe in their own strength in order to achieve good results on the road to graduate school.
