In the first year of the comprehensive implementation of the art examination reform: "the results of cultural courses cannot be relied on by the art examination to go to university", and the road will not work.
With the launch of the art examination enrollment reform in 2021 and the first year of the full implementation of the art examination reform in 2024, art professional examinations have been launched in various places recently. The purpose of this reform is to squeeze out the "water" in the art examination, make the art examination more fair and standardized, and provide more opportunities and choices for candidates. One of the most important changes is that students who rely on art to get to university but don't do well in their culture classes will face even greater challenges. This article will discuss the new changes and new features of the art examination reform, as well as some problems that candidates may encounter in the preparation process.
In the past, some candidates had limited their professional development after admission due to a lack of comprehensive literacy. In particular, those star students, whose scores in cultural classes are significantly lower than those of ordinary candidates, have also been questioned by the public. In order to solve this problem, the general requirement of the art examination reform in recent years is to attach importance to cultural courses, making them an important basis for art examination admission. According to the requirements, from 2024 onwards, the results of the provincial unified examination will be used for professional examinations, and the proportion of cultural course scores in the college entrance examination shall not be less than 50% in principle. At the same time, colleges and universities are also encouraged to further increase the admission requirements for cultural courses in the college entrance examination. For example, in Shandong Province, the proportion of cultural courses in art majors has increased from 30% to 50%. This change makes it even more challenging for candidates who rely on art exams and have low scores in cultural classes.
Due to the comprehensive implementation of the art examination reform, the scope of subjects in the art professional examinations in various provinces has been expanded and unified rules have been formulated. For example, the unified examination for art majors in Beijing covers six major categories, including **, dance, performance, broadcasting and hosting, art and design, and calligraphy. Previously, there were differences in the types of subjects, the content setting, and the rules and standards of the examinations from province to province. Through the uniform rules, the fairness and standardization of the examination have been improved.
In addition, the scale and scope of school examinations have continued to shrink. In the past, candidates had to take school exams in multiple places, which lasted up to a week, and the cost of fees and energy was very high. Now, the scope and scale of school examinations are gradually narrowing and more focused on selecting students with outstanding artistic talents. This change reduces the burden on candidates and parents.
In the face of the new changes in the reform of the art examination, candidates need to be more prepared. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the study of cultural courses and improve cultural literacy and overall quality. In addition, candidates also need to accumulate, observe, and collect more materials, and cannot blindly imitate them. In the process of preparing for the exam, schools and training institutions will also provide some training courses with intensive tutoring, and candidates can choose according to their actual situation.
However, the reform of the art examination is more challenging for those candidates who rely on the art examination and do not perform well in cultural classes. They need to work harder to improve their cultural grades to meet the admission requirements of colleges and universities. This places higher demands on both time and effort. At the same time, they also need to juggle the review of professional courses and the preparation of application materials. As a result, these candidates need to have better time management and study plans to make the most of their limited time and resources.
The comprehensive implementation of the art examination reform has brought new changes and challenges to candidates. For students who rely on art to get to college, but do not do well in cultural classes, they will face even greater challenges. In the process of preparing for the exam, candidates need to pay attention to the preparation of improving the performance of cultural courses, expanding the subject categories and unifying the rules. At the same time, they also need better time management and study schedules to cope with the higher demands. In general, the goal of the art examination reform is to improve the fairness and standardization of the art examination and provide more opportunities and choices for candidates. But for candidates, it is also necessary to work harder and prepare comprehensively to cope with new changes and challenges.
