2. Abandoned exams this year
At present, there is no official data on the abandonment rate of the 24 postgraduate entrance examinations, but according to the feedback of candidates and invigilators, there are still many students who abandon the exam this year.

Fresh examination room

From the above feedback from students and teachers, we can find that:
The abandonment rate of non-recent students is higher than that of fresh students, which may be related to the fact that some non-fresh students have already worked and need to balance study, work, and even family.
This year's postgraduate examination topics are not simple, with the advancement of the 4 postgraduate examinations, the number of students who abandon the exam has increased one after another, simply put, the more people who take the exam to the back, the fewer people there are, and it is great that everyone can insist on taking the test completely!
Judging from the abandonment of the examination by fresh and non-recent students, the abandonment rate of this year's examination should not be as high as that of the 23 postgraduate examination, but it will not be very low, probably maintained at 15%-20% during the 19-22 postgraduate examination
3. Common reasons for abandoning the test
Insufficient preparation for the exam
Some students did not prepare for the exam because they started the postgraduate examination late or did not have enough self-motivation, and finally chose to abandon the exam. In particular, some on-the-job graduate students may need to take care of all aspects at the same time, which makes it difficult to allocate time and energy to meet the requirements of the graduate school entrance examination.
Blindly follow the herd
Some students blindly follow the trend when they see that their classmates are taking the postgraduate entrance examination, not knowing what they want, and they are not interested in the postgraduate entrance examination and graduate school, and lack a firm belief. Therefore, on the way to prepare for the exam, once you encounter any setbacks, it is easy to choose to give up.
Lack of confidence
Some candidates may have encountered difficulties in the previous exams, which led to a loss of confidence and eventually chose to abandon the test and forgo the opportunity to take the next exam.
Feeling unwell
Long-term intense study may lead to physical discomfort, or some unexpected situations, such as the "little yang person" during the 23rd postgraduate entrance examination, which affects the normal preparation and examination plan, and becomes one of the reasons why some candidates give up the postgraduate entrance examination. Therefore, you must pay attention to your physical health when you usually study, stand up and exercise after sitting for a long time, eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins, and improve immunity.
Employment opportunities
Students who have already obtained good employment opportunities before or during the postgraduate examination choose to give up the postgraduate examination after weighing the pros and cons. The postgraduate entrance examination is just one of the many paths in life, no matter which path you choose in the end, as long as you feel that it is suitable for you, then go forward bravely!

Fourth, the senior's tips
There is a huge disparity between the number of admissions and the number of applicants themselves
The number of graduate students admitted in 2023 is nearly 12420,000, while the number of applicants for the 24th graduate school entrance examination is 4.38 million, and the acceptance rate is about 28%, which means that 72% of people will fail the list. In other words, there is a huge gap between the number of applicants for graduate school and the number of admissions. Even if 20% of candidates drop out this year, we will have to outperform at least 52% of our competitors to qualify for the exam. Therefore, in the case of "more monks and less porridge", everyone still should not take it lightly, and must prepare for the re-examination in a down-to-earth manner.
Aggregate data is not a substitute for specific situations
For the individual candidates, the actual competitors are only those who apply for the same school, the same college, and the same major as themselves, and other people have little to do with whether they go ashore or not, and at most they can only affect the national line. The abandonment rate is only an overall data, and it does not reflect the specific situation. Different schools and majors, his specific situation is different, and the specific difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination should be subject to the target major of the target college!
Students who abandon the exam think about the next step
Whatever the reason, this part of the students eventually gave up on this exam. Whether you are unwilling, want to fight again next year, or "don't want to toss anymore". Seniors are recommended:
1) Think about what you really want, do you want to fight World War II or do you want to study abroad or get a job?
2) For students who want to fight World War II, they should first reflect on and summarize their review in the past year, and then formulate a suitable review plan according to their actual situationFor students who want to work directly, they must seize the existing opportunities, make good use of the next school recruitment and spring recruitment, and seize every employment opportunity. For students who want to study abroad, hurry up and prepare the application materials
It is really not easy for students to go all the way, and the students who can persist in completing the course and doing well in the exam must be the "chosen son", and we must cherish this hard-won opportunity to go ashore. Of course, students who have regrets this year should not be discouraged, believe that our good luck is behind!Come on!
