As the postgraduate examination season is coming to an end, a topic that has attracted much attention has emerged in the field of vision of many candidates and academic circles, that is, the phenomenon of "water and drought areas" in postgraduate examinations. This topic is not only related to the future of thousands of candidates, but also a profound reflection on the evaluation system of higher education in China. With the increasingly fierce competition for postgraduate entrance examinations, the standards of "water and drought areas" in various places are also changing. In this article, we will delve into this controversial phenomenon and give advice to candidates on how to deal with it.
The so-called "water area" usually refers to those areas where the marking standards are relatively relaxed, and subjective questions are given more points;The "arid area" refers to the area where the marking standards are strict and the subjective questions are given low scores. This regional difference is mainly due to the marking regulations of the province where the recruiting institution is located. As a result, candidates face different evaluation criteria in different regions. In recent years, the increasing number of graduate students and the increase in the score line have brought about certain changes in the phenomenon of "flood and drought areas" in various places.
According to the feedback of some postgraduate students, in the past two years, some traditional "dry areas" such as Hubei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places have still strict marking standards, and their conservative attitude towards subjective question scores has not changed. However, in Shanxi, Liaoning and other places, there is a situation where the subjective questions are given low scores. On the contrary, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Chongqing, Henan, Anhui and other places are relatively relaxed in the marking of postgraduate entrance examination papers, especially in the scoring of subjective questions in public courses. This regional score differential not only has a direct impact on candidates, but also sparks a debate about equity in higher education. This disparity can lead to inequality in the choice of institutions for candidates, affecting their future development. It is worth mentioning that this phenomenon of "flood and drought zone" for postgraduate entrance examination also reflects the imperfection of China's higher education evaluation system and the need for further unification.
In the face of the "water and drought zone" of the postgraduate entrance examination, every candidate needs to respond rationally and make the most appropriate decision from their own perspective. Here are some suggestions for candidates:
First of all, candidates need to choose their target colleges and universities rationally according to their actual situation. Although the saying "flood and drought zone" is widely circulated, candidates should still be guided by their own strengths and professional interests. We should not rely too much on the so-called "water area" and ignore our own strengths and potentials. When choosing colleges and majors, candidates need to fully understand the faculty, scientific research strength and employment situation of each institution, and comprehensively consider the matching degree between their own strength and the institution.
Secondly, candidates should not worry too much about the so-called "flood and drought zone" phenomenon, because everyone's strength and hard work are the key factors that determine success or failure. Regardless of the region, candidates who work hard to prepare for the exam and deal with the pressures and challenges of the exam process correctly will have a chance to do well. At the same time, candidates should also establish a correct attitude towards learning Xi, pay attention to improving their comprehensive quality in an all-round way, and not only tackle a certain subject in order to cope with the marking standards of a certain region.
Third, education authorities need to be aware that the phenomenon of "flooded and drought" is an important test of the current assessment system. How to ensure the uniformity and fairness of the grading standards for postgraduate entrance examinations across the country has become a challenge for education administrators. Departments should strengthen supervision, increase the investigation and supervision of the marking situation in various places, and ensure the fairness and transparency of the marking process. At the same time, it is also necessary to revise and improve the marking standards to ensure that candidates across the country are evaluated under the same standards and protect the rights and interests of each candidate.
To sum up, the phenomenon of "water and drought zone" in postgraduate entrance examination is a topic worthy of attention, which not only affects the future of many candidates, but also reflects the current situation and challenges of China's higher education evaluation system. In this regard, we look forward to the establishment of a more fair, reasonable and unified postgraduate examination evaluation system to ensure that every candidate can show their strength in a fair environment. For candidates, it is necessary to treat the so-called "water and drought areas" rationally, accurately judge their own strength and interests, and formulate reasonable preparation strategies. For the education authorities, it is also necessary to conduct in-depth research and explore how to establish unified evaluation standards to improve the fairness and scientificity of educational evaluation. Only in this way can the stage of the promotion competition be truly full of fairness and opportunities, so that every young person with dreams can gain something.
