I took the college entrance examination in 2008, 10 years ago, but I was in a trance yesterday. Here, I recall the college entrance examination 10 years ago, and based on my own experience, I would like to give some sincere suggestions to this year's candidates.

In 2008, the national college entrance examination reached 10.5 million, the highest in history, with an admission rate of 57%. Since 2009, the number of college entrance examination has declined, but the university has been expanding its enrollment, the number of enrollment has been rising, and the enrollment rate has been rising.

Test papers and scores

In 2008, the college entrance examination papers of our province, except for the comprehensive use of national I papers in culture and science, are all provincial propositions.

At that time, the difficulty of mathematics test paper in our province was famous all over the country, and it was one of the most difficult in the country. Some people may not agree, "then you didn't see XX Province.". Before the examination, I have done many real questions in many provinces. As for the math test paper, I still remember it. In my impression: I can answer more than 90 points when I do the real math problems in Beijing in 2007; I can answer more than 80 points when I do the real math problems in Shandong in 2007; I can answer more than 120 points when I do the real math problems in Yunnan in 2007; I can answer more than 30 points when I do the real math problems in our province in 2007.

My math is not good. In the first simulation test in April 2008, my Chinese scores were in the 20th grade, my English scores seemed to be in the 30th grade, my comprehensive scores were in the 110th grade, my math scores were 43 points, and I was in the 476th grade (I was impressed by the ranking of math scores). I'm in class B, and my classes are all top students of grade and children of working teachers. My math scores are in the second from the bottom of the class, and the one from the bottom is a teacher's child who never studies. At the parents' meeting, the teacher in charge of the class called me to say that my mathematics was not good. Compared with other people, they were all weak in liberal arts and good in mathematics, and I happened to be weak in mathematics and good in liberal arts.

In the college entrance examination, we write our answers in pencil on the examination permit. After the examination, the first thing we should do is to copy the answers on paper and keep them properly. A few days after the completion of the college entrance examination, I will go back to school to collect the book "college entrance examination questions and reference answers". I will evaluate the scores according to this book and my own answers, and fill in the form of volunteers according to my own estimated scores.

Voluntary reporting

When we estimate, in order to prevent the inaccuracy of estimation, it is often several people who gather together to estimate and give advice to each other. At that time, Longge and I (we were classmates in primary school and high school) assessed the score together. My estimate is 395, his estimate is 410. I think it's conservative, but he's bold.

When estimating the score, Chinese is the most difficult to estimate, because we can not determine how many points our answers can estimate, only by feeling. In other subjects, although it is difficult to estimate the score of subjective questions, it can be estimated according to the scores of teachers in ordinary times, but there are still some errors. When I estimated the score, only the math was the most accurate, because I didn't write a few words.

The structure of mathematics test paper is: 12 single choice questions, 5 points for each question; 4 blank filling questions, 4 points for each question; 6 subjective questions, 12 points for the first 5 questions, and 14 points for the last one. My single choice questions are answered correctly 7 times; the blank filling questions are answered correctly 1 time; the first 5 subjective questions each write a sentence, and the last one only write a "solution:". According to the test experience, each of the five subjective questions can get 2 points, so the score is estimated to be 49 points.

In those years, the way we volunteered was primitive. Each person will send a piece of A3 paper with a form, on which there is a voluntary reporting area for advance, advanced, one, two, three and junior college students. For advance and advanced, only one first volunteer and one second volunteer can be filled in. For other batches, one first volunteer, one second volunteer and six parallel volunteers can be filled in. Each volunteer can fill in five specialties. These five specialties are admitted in sequence First major, second major, and so on. We use a black pen to write the college code, college name, major code and major name on this paper, and they can't be altered. If it's wrong, you can ask the head teacher for another piece of paper, but because the number of forms filled in is limited, the head teacher will suggest that you take this form to make copies, and make more copies.

After filling out this form, hand it in and take it to the head teacher's office to input it into the computer. At that time, the Higher Education Bureau brought a disk containing the software and data of the voluntary filling system, which was installed on the computer of each head teacher. Open the software and input according to the form filled in by students. At that time, three of our students assisted the teacher to input, one said the code, one knocked it, and the other checked it. But because the text is small, and the input time is long, the eyes and hands can't stand it, so it's hard to avoid mistakes. At the same time, due to the professional code and name registered on the "window of enrollment and examination" magazine that we paid to subscribe to, there is a mismatch between the professional code and professional name in the system and a very small number of data, which is also the cause of the error.

I helped input the data of 64 students in the class for 3.5 hours. Some students can only read three books or junior college, but they still fill in all the volunteers and increase a lot of work. Historically, some student unions have added a lot of workload by filling in "Tsinghua", "Peking University" and so on. So before applying for the exam and holding a meeting in the playground, the headmaster told us about this matter. Let's not fill in this way.

After all the data are entered, the school will print out the electronic data of each individual. If there is any error, it needs to correct it. If there is no error, it needs to sign for confirmation.
