By May 2023, the education departments in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang and other places have issued policies for the reform of the senior high school entrance examination, but the specific contents are different. For example, the senior high school entrance examination in Beijing will cancel four primary schools and only take six, which will be implemented from 2025.

According to the reform plan of Shanghai senior high school entrance examination, the results of senior high school entrance examination are presented by scoring system, and the examination is unified outside the number of words. Politics, history, geography, sports and health, art, labor (information) technology and other subjects are unified in the whole city, and the test scores of various subjects are changed from scoring system to scoring system 2. In short, the reform policy of senior high school entrance examination will vary from region to region, so it is suggested to pay attention to the relevant policy trends.
