It's already in May, I don't know what progress you've made in review, if you guess correctly, do some students think that they have just entered May, and it's too early to prepare for the exam?
Xiaobian suggests that students who have such thoughts must face up to the matter of the postgraduate entrance examination, 24 years are almost halfway over, and the first examination is really not far away!
And the 25 preliminary examination time for the postgraduate entrance examination may be !! in advance, and the editor will take a look!
25. Estimate the time of the preliminary examination for the postgraduate entrance examination
Generally speaking, the postgraduate examination is held at the end of December every year, the first or second weekend before New Year's Day, but the last weekend of December this year is particularly close to New Year's Day, so according to the calendar, the 25th postgraduate examination time may be December 21-23, 2024.
The exam is held from 8:30 to 11:30 in the morning and from 14:00 to 17:00 in the afternoon. For exam subjects that are longer than 3 hours or have special requirements, these exams are expected to take place on December 23.
Then it also means that compared with the 24 preliminary examination, the examination time is 2 days earlier (24 preliminary examination: December 23-25)
For the postgraduate entrance examination party, every day of preparation time is precious, and taking the exam 2 days in advance may mean reading one less knowledge point, brushing one less required exam question, and memorizing one less useful template.
Editor's suggestion: For students who have just started preparing for the exam, it is time to put the preparation for the exam on the agenda. No matter how busy you are during this time, don't forget to squeeze out 2-3 hours of time every day to review, and consistent learning will bring better revision results
May is also a critical moment for graduate students in the early stage of the graduate school entrance examination, and everyone must grasp it.
After seeing the estimated time for the preliminary examination of the 24th graduate school entrance examination, is there a sense of urgency that comes all of a sudden?
Of course, the specific date of the postgraduate examination still needs to wait for the official announcement of the Ministry of Education. The editor will also pay close attention to the official information in a timely manner, and synchronize the latest postgraduate examination dates and related information to students in a timely manner.
25 major events of the year
If the 25th postgraduate entrance examination starts on December 21, there are actually only 7 and a half months of preparation time before the preliminary examination.
The time for the postgraduate examination should be sooner rather than later, and the editor has sorted out the schedule from now to the end of the adjustment.
The big event and the specific time are also put on everyone, so let's hurry up and live↓↓↓
*The timeline is for reference only, and the official shall prevail *The timeline is for reference only, and the official shall prevail
Then, in the remaining 7 and a half months, in addition to holidays, daily classes, and complicated chores, there is actually not much time to really calm down and study, and the 25 graduate school entrance examination may be more difficult!
Because even though the number of applicants for the 24th postgraduate entrance examination has declined for the first time in recent years, it has not led to a decline in the national line, but this year the national line of most disciplines has risen, and the philosophy class has risen by 10 points.
This directly shows that the number of applicants who have declined in the 24 postgraduate entrance examination are all "squeezed out of the water", and the fierce competition in the postgraduate examination has not decreased, and the same will be true for the 25 postgraduate entrance examination.
25. Environmental analysis of postgraduate entrance examinations
As the postgraduate entrance examination becomes more and more "rolled", instead of blindly starting to prepare directly, it is the first crucial step to understand the general trend of the postgraduate entrance examination and choose a school and major based on your own situation.
So today, the editor combines some phenomena of the 24 postgraduate entrance examination to analyze the environment of the 25 postgraduate entrance examination
24. The abandonment rate of graduate school entrance examinations has decreased
Based on the total number of applicants and the number of people who abandoned the test in these two years, it is found that the actual number of people who took the test will peak at 4.11 million in 2022, 3.09 million in 2023, and 3.38 million in 2024. In other words, although the number of applicants has decreased in '24, the number of people who actually take the exam has increased.
Based on the data provided by some provinces and cities, we have noticed a significant decrease in the abandonment rate this year, and the number of people who persist to complete the test to the end is also increasing, not decreasing. This reflects the fact that the number of candidates actually participating in the competition is actually increasing.
The difficulty of disembarking has increased
In the past two years, the increase in the number of places promoted and exempted by prestigious schools, coupled with factors such as the increase in the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examinations, non-"985" and non-"211" project colleges and universities have begun to attract more students who are preparing for postgraduate examinations, and the phenomenon of "reverse postgraduate examinations" is not uncommon.
In the 2024 graduate admissions exams, the number of applicants from some non-top universities has surged, and the competition is as fierce as that of some well-known universities, and there have been many cases of candidates choosing to go against the postgraduate examination.
For example, Heilongjiang University's current application popularity is not very large, but the score line of individual majors has been "forced" to 400 points, such as 402 points in education, 402 points in archives, and 400 points in information science.
Humanities and social sciences majors are highly competitive
This year, the scores of liberal arts majors in some colleges and universities are very high, such as the School of Humanities and Communication of Zhejiang Gongshang University 24, which has a score of more than 390 points for many majors, and 407 points for modern and contemporary Chinese literature, comparative literature and world literature.
The difficulty of public classes increases
In fact, looking back at the situation in previous years, we will also find that every year, there will be candidates complaining about the difficulty of the questions, and the fact is that the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination is gradually increasing.
From this point of view, the difficulty of the 25th postgraduate entrance examination is likely to continue the "fine tradition" of previous years, and it will only continue to increase the difficulty, and the possibility of reducing it is almost ......
The proportion of re-examinations has increased significantly
24. In the postgraduate entrance examination, many colleges and universities have increased the proportion of re-examination results, such as Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology and Wuhan University Medical Research Institute, and the proportion of re-examination has increased to 60%. For example, the re-examination of most colleges and universities in Fujian Province accounts for 40%-50%, and has gradually tilted to 50%, which shows that colleges and universities are paying more and more attention to re-examination.
More colleges and universities are taking the professional examination
Previously, according to the "2021 National Regulations on the Management of Master's Degree Enrollment" announced by the Ministry of Education, it was mentioned that enrollment units are encouraged to choose the national unified proposition subject test papers, and the self-proposition examination will return to the unified examination.
In addition, starting from the 2024 National Master's Admissions Examination, the subjects of the Master's Business Course for Education Professional Degree will be added to the national unified proposition subjects for the relevant enrollment units to choose and use independently.
In this context, more and more colleges and universities have joined the army of unified examinations, such as the 24 postgraduate examinations, and the 25 postgraduate examinations. At present, the list of subjects in the national unified examination is as follows↓↓↓
The editor also reminds me here that when choosing a college to apply for, I would like to give priority to the college that will take the unified examination for professional courses. 24. Some colleges and universities have clearly indicated that they only accept candidates who take the unified examination of professional courses and subjects when adjusting their majors.
Therefore, for the 25 graduate school entrance examination, the number of applicants for the 25 graduate school entrance examination may not rise significantly, but the degree of competition is still fierce.
In short, it's still early, everything is in time, work hard to review!
