The AB area of graduate students is divided according to the source schools. The state determines the basic score requirements for candidates to take part in the re-examination according to areas A and B, and the score in area B is slightly lower than that in area A.. The national line in area A is generally more than ten points higher than that in area B. According to different regions, the national retest scores of postgraduate exams are also different. The national retest scores of the first district where A-type candidates are located are often higher than those of the second district where B-type candidates are located 10. Most of the first district is a strong education province with more educational resources, and most of the famous schools are concentrated in the first district, so the competition is fierce and there are many applicants. Most of the two districts are provinces with weak education, and the competition of B candidates is relatively small. Accordingly, candidates who apply for colleges in the first district are called Class A candidates, and candidates who apply for colleges in the second district are called Class B candidates.
