What does the self-study exam mean?
Self-study examination, also known as higher education self-study examination, is a form of higher education combining individual self-study with national examination. Self-taught exams are divided into self-taught exams (social candidates) and self-taught exams (candidates).

It is a national examination of higher education for self-learners, focusing on academic qualifications. Candidates mainly have two ways of learning:

1. Attend or enter full-time study in our school at the aid points organized by institutions of higher learning (students use this learning method to apply for candidates).

2. Study or self-study in social aid units (students who use this learning method are called social candidates).

Extended data:

The national self-study examination time is generally as follows: the self-study examination is held four times a year (the number of provinces and cities is determined by the provincial examination office), and the examination time is 1 month, April, July and1month respectively. Since 20 15, most areas have twice adjusted the examination time to April and 10. For details, please consult the local self-study office.

The curriculum of the self-study exam is divided into:

1, public basic course: all candidates with major or similar major must attend the course. For example, an introduction to the basic principles of Marxism, an outline of China's modern history, English II, political economy, etc.

Although the public course is not necessarily directly related to the major studied, it is an essential course to cultivate talents with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique and to provide methodology for further study of other contents.

2. Professional basic courses: courses of basic theories, basic knowledge and basic skills that candidates of this major should learn. The basic course is to lay a foundation for candidates to master professional knowledge, learn professional technology and develop our related abilities.

For example, "Principles of Management" for business administration (undergraduate) majors and "Fundamentals and Applications of E-commerce" for e-commerce majors belong to basic courses.

3. Specialized courses: basic courses directly related to professional knowledge and skills (referred to as specialized courses).

4. Elective courses: Limited choice of subjects you need to study. The choice of elective subjects is limited, and you can only choose within the scope of courses specified in the professional examination plan. Simply put, it is to give us some elective subjects and let us choose our own study. Candidates choose the subjects they want to take according to their abilities and interests.
