In order to improve the scientificity of the entrance examination for master of engineering, the State Council Academic Degree Office organized relevant experts to put forward a comprehensive quality test entrance examination method-GCT, which is suitable for the characteristics of China, and began to implement it. (the State Council Academic Degrees Office [2005] No.36 "Notice on Recruiting On-the-job Personnel to Study for Master's Degree in 2005" points out that the master of engineering, master of agricultural extension, master of veterinary medicine and master of landscape architecture take the joint exam, and teachers of colleges and universities and secondary vocational schools all take the GCT exam. )

Postgraduate entrance examination (hereinafter referred to as "GCT") is the entrance qualification examination for graduate students studying for master's degree in engineering. The examination began in 2003, when it was called "Entrance Qualification Examination for Master of Engineering" (GCT-ME for short), and the application scope of the examination was for candidates applying for master of engineering. In 2004, the scope of the examination was increased, and the word "engineering" was removed from the name of the examination. In 2005, the Office of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee organized experts to revise the 2003 version of the examination syllabus, and at the same time increased the scope of application of the examination, as well as candidates applying for master's degree in colleges and universities and teachers in secondary vocational schools. The name of the examination was changed to "Master's degree entrance examination".

The examination paper consists of four parts: knowledge expression ability, logical reasoning ability, analysis and judgment ability and foreign language application ability. Each part is 45 minutes, totaling 3 hours. All the questions are objective multiple-choice questions, including reading comprehension, analysis and judgment, mathematical problem solving, logical reasoning and so on. There are questions and answers, fill in the blanks, correct mistakes and so on. The examination questions cover philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military science and management.

The GCT paper consists of four parts, with a total of 400 points, and each part is 100. The "GCT" score provides a reference for colleges and universities to enroll engineering postgraduates. There is no national unified "GCT" qualified score line, and all enrollment units enroll students independently.

GCT exam is a qualification exam, which means you are eligible to apply for a school. The exam results are valid for two years. GCT examination mode will be implemented as a pilot in this year's entrance examination for master of engineering, and then it will gradually approach the candidates in China, especially those who want to take the postgraduate entrance examination after working for a period of time.

The professional degree of master of engineering was established in 1997, which is closely related to the professional background of engineers and aims to cultivate high-level engineering technology and engineering management talents. The entrance examination for master of engineering in previous years included three subjects: English, mathematics and specialized courses. After the introduction of GCT examination method, a brand-new examination method-two-stage examination came into being, and the outline of industrial and master's examination also changed.

The so-called two-stage examination method is to divide the entrance examination for master of engineering into two stages. In the first stage, candidates take the National Unified Entrance Examination for Engineering Postgraduates (GCT), which consists of four parts: Chinese expression ability test, basic mathematics ability test, logical reasoning ability test and foreign language application ability test. Candidates' GCT scores are valid for two years. Colleges and universities with master of engineering training qualifications can determine their own GCT application scores according to their own actual conditions.

In the second stage, candidates hold GCT transcripts and apply to the colleges and universities to take the tests determined and organized by the school according to the training objectives. Colleges and universities decide whether to admit candidates according to their test scores and inspection results.

[Edit this paragraph] Frequently Asked Questions on ]GCT Examination

1. Don't you have a bachelor degree to apply for? Without a bachelor's degree, it means that students who apply for GCT with a bachelor's degree do not get a degree because they have not studied English or have taken too many make-up exams, and they lose their eligibility to apply because their study years exceed the regulations (it usually takes four years to graduate from the self-study exam). The disadvantage of not having a degree is reflected in the GCT exam, which is limited by the admission rate.

Admission quota: the annual enrollment quota for candidates without a degree does not exceed 10% (the quota for other majors is different), that is, if a school enrolls 100 students, it can only enroll 10 students without a degree. Generally, when enrolling students, schools will separate those with and without degrees from high to low.

2.GCT percentile: For example, in 2005, the GCT score was 230, and its percentile was 72%, which means that among the 65,438+000 candidates, 72 scored lower than you (excluding the absence of exams). In 2005, there were 67 107 applicants for master of engineering, and the average score of GCT in China was 208.7 (50.7%). In 2004, the average score of GCT was 265,438+02 (50.7%). You can calculate the position of your achievements in China by percentile. The admission line of many schools is generally above 30% (according to the document of the National Academic Degrees Office in 2005, colleges and universities must issue a written explanation if they recruit candidates with a percentile below 30%).

Judging from the score line that a university has no degree in recent two years (2 10 in 2004, the percentile is 48%; In 2005, the score was 230, accounting for 72.3%. The gap between those without a degree and those with a degree (65,438+090 in 2004 and 65,438+090 in 2005) (20 points in 2004 and 40 points in 2005) is gradually widening, and the number of applicants is also increasing (according to the degrees and degrees of the Ministry of Education), reaching 265,438+07 in 2005. Among them, the largest number of applicants is the master of engineering, reaching more than 78,000. The number of applicants for the first master's degree in physical education, master's degree in art and professional degree in landscape architecture was 2,690, 4 126 and 1033 respectively. Therefore, students without a bachelor's degree must get at least 40 points more to be guaranteed. (Note: The proportion of masters in each major is calculated by category)

3. What is the key to success? GCT exam?

GCT tests comprehensive ability. Rote memorization is useless, and the questions are flexible. The topic itself is not as difficult as the postgraduate entrance examination, but it requires much more time and reaction speed than the postgraduate entrance examination.

The key is quick response, which is the key to the exam. Many candidates feel that there are too many questions to finish in the exam, and it feels like they are grabbing points. You can get two points by choosing one answer.

Most candidates think they just don't have time to do it. In fact, GCT tests the speed of doing problems. If there is enough time, many candidates can get 300 points even if they don't review. For candidates, the key is not enough time. So in a sense, it is more cruel than full-time postgraduate entrance examination. Therefore, remedial classes are becoming more and more important.

4.GCT review the overall idea of preparing for the exam?

(1) It is the basis to use authoritative review reference materials, such as Tsinghua Edition and Fudan Edition. Of course, if you have time, you can get twice the result with half the effort by participating in authoritative pre-test counseling. Especially the subject of logic, one is that I have never studied it before, and the other is that the problem-solving methods and skills of this subject are really important.

(2) Don't underestimate any subject, and you don't have to pursue any subject too much. When reviewing for the exam, you must allocate your time and energy.

(3) targeted training before the exam. You must finish the questions within a limited time, and whether you can finish them on time is particularly important for the success or failure of the exam. It is very important to simulate actual combat training before the exam. Be sure to finish the simulated test questions of four subjects within three hours, so as to grasp the rhythm of the exam, because each candidate has different foundations of these four subjects. Through simulation training, find out the answer sequence and time allocation scheme suitable for your own characteristics, so as to determine your own time allocation strategy for the on-site exam.

(4) At the same time, we should pay special attention to the arrangement of subjects in the examination room. We should proceed from reality, combine our own thinking and psychological characteristics, and arrange the answered subjects smoothly so as not to be confused in the examination room. There should be a strategic consideration about which subject to do first and which subject to do later. It is extremely important that you can give full play to your true level and get high marks as long as you grasp the allocation of examination time and allocate time reasonably.
