Recently, the 2024 postgraduate entrance examination has ended, and many postgraduate students have said that this year's exam questions are relatively simple, which has attracted widespread discussion and attention. Many candidates reported online that the difficulty of the test questions was less than expected, and some even suspected that the teacher had sent the wrong test paper. Some candidates in subjects such as politics, English, and mathematics lamented that the questions were less difficult, and some popular variety shows even coincided with the content of the exam, which aroused the interest of candidates.
However, the fact that the topics are simple does not mean that the difficulty of the graduate school entrance examination is any less. Expert**, the simplicity of this year's postgraduate examination questions may be an accidental phenomenon, which is related to factors such as the decrease in the number of applicants this year and the decline in overall competitive pressure. In addition, the difficulty of the test content does not directly determine the candidate's learning ability and comprehensive quality. Therefore, candidates should not take it lightly but should prepare well and give it their all.
1. Regret and abandonment caused by simple exam questions
The number of applicants for this year's postgraduate examination has decreased by more than 300,000 compared with last year, which is also related to the fact that this year's exam questions are simply reflected. Many candidates begin to regret not insisting on the postgraduate entrance examination after seeing the number of applicants for the postgraduate examination in 2024, because theoretically, the smaller the number of applicants, the greater the probability of going ashore. At the same time, some candidates are attracted by the idea of giving up the postgraduate entrance examination, giving up the involution competition, and choosing other employment paths.
2. The candidate's mentality caused by the simple test questions
For those candidates who find the questions easy, they may show greater confidence in the revision process and feel that they can handle such an exam. Those who find the exam questions difficult may have doubts about their revision results, or even doubt their lives. In fact, candidates of different majors and different levels may face different content of the test papers, so there is no need to be overly anxious.
After the end of the preliminary examination, Zhang Xuefeng, a well-known figure in the education industry, issued an article in response, he believes that the pressure of postgraduate students is too great, and they may have the mentality of being too contemptuous because of the simple test questions, which pours cold water on the candidates. Zhang Xuefeng emphasized that the simple questions in the exam do not mean that candidates can answer correctly, and for candidates who apply for the same major, whether the questions are simple or not does not determine whether they can answer the questions correctly. He reminded the candidates that there are many factors that determine the outcome of the selection exam. Zhang Xuefeng's response won the approval of the candidates, and his words also made the candidates see the importance of rational thinking and treating the exam.
The re-examination is the highlight of the postgraduate entrance examination process, which determines whether the candidate can enter the school of his choice. Different from the college entrance examination, the written examination is only one of the parts, and the re-examination can comprehensively evaluate the candidate's scientific research potential and comprehensive quality. Therefore, candidates should pay attention to the preparation for the re-examination and start preparing for the re-examination immediately after the preliminary examination to avoid falling short.
For candidates who can score more than 400 points in the preliminary examination, the re-examination is a stepping stone to the shore. However, with the increase in the number of applicants, the involution of scores has gradually emerged, and high scores in the preliminary examination are no longer all guarantees. Therefore, even if the initial test score is high, candidates should maintain a humble attitude and go all out to prepare for the re-examination to avoid missing the opportunity to go ashore due to mistakes in the re-examination.
For candidates who are unlikely to retake the exam, considering the possibility of fighting again next year, they should start a new round of revision plan as soon as possible. It is best to make a detailed review plan and stick to it to continuously improve your overall quality and academic ability.
There are also some graduate students who want to finish their studies and are ready to submit resumes to apply. For this part of the candidates, they should grasp the tail of the autumn recruitment, prepare their resumes and job search materials early, attend job fairs and interviews in advance, and be fully prepared for the spring recruitment.
In short, whether the questions for this year's postgraduate examination are difficult or not is not the only factor that determines the fate of candidates, and the exam is just a way to select candidates. Candidates do not need to be overly anxious, they should remain calm and rational, prepare well, and give their all. Regardless of whether the topic is simple or difficult, only through the accumulation of hard work and strength can the ideal results be achieved.
