The 2024 postgraduate entrance examination has been successfully concluded, and for the postgraduate examination party, this hurdle is finally over. Compared to previous years, the number of applicants this year has been declining for the first time in eight consecutive years, and the overall number of applicants has decreased by 360,000. This change has also made many graduate school entrance examination parties a little relieved, because relatively speaking, the competition for the entrance examination has become relatively lighter. Not only that, but for this year's graduate school entrance examination party, this number has played a role in the booster, they have strengthened their belief in taking the exam, and they are full of greater expectations for going ashore.
Although it is the first decline, this downward trend is not surprising. In the past few years, the popularity of postgraduate entrance examinations has remained high, creating a record high every year. As time goes on, more and more students choose to apply for graduate school, resulting in increased competition. However, this year's decrease in the number of applicants has given hope to many students preparing for the exam. In contrast, a reduction in the number of applicants means lower competitive pressure and a greater chance of landing.
As the graduate school entrance examination was about to begin, the number of students in the study hall began to decrease. Many students simply choose to forgo graduate school after seeing transfer candidates leave, finding themselves far away from the test location, or not putting enough effort into their preparation for the exam. It is normal for a large number of students to choose to abandon the test every year, especially due to special reasons, and the number of students who abandoned the test last year even reached 35%. However, what is surprising is that the number of abandonments this year has also increased significantly, and the invigilators have said that in the examination rooms they are responsible for, the number of abandonments has reached 12 at the most, and the lowest is 17, in other words, there are students who have abandoned the test in each examination room. Some students choose to give up the postgraduate entrance examination outright, while others choose to give up because of unsatisfactory results in the first subject. In addition, some students chose to leave early and chose to give up during the postgraduate entrance examination. According to the data, the number of test dropouts in 2024 will exceed 1.14 million, which is a staggering number. Even the invigilators believe that the party that persists to the end can seize the opportunity to go ashore. Especially after the end of the 2024 postgraduate entrance examination for political subjects, many students generally think that political topics are relatively simple, and some students are highly compatible in political subjects, although mathematics and English are more difficult, but some students say that they are good. For students, the decrease in the number of applicants and the decrease in the number of abandonments means that their chances of landing have increased, which is welcome news for them.
Behind the sharp increase in the number of people who have abandoned the examination reflects the dilemma and choice faced by some graduate school entrance examination parties. For some students, there are a variety of reasons why they choose to forgo graduate school.

There are also some students who choose to leave in the middle of the graduate school entrance examination process, giving up the opportunity to persevere. Whether it's for personal reasons or other considerations, these students' decisions are responsible for their own future. However, while the increase in the number of abandonments is alarming, it also provides a rare opportunity for those who have persevered to the end. For these students, to make the most of this opportunity and further improve their preparation for the exam, they need not only to continue to work hard, but also to maintain a good mental state in order to stand out in the highly competitive re-examination.
