There are mainly the following ways.

1. It is more difficult for secondary school students to take the general college entrance examination, because middle school mainly focuses on skill training, and the knowledge in books is not as important as that in high school. Therefore, it is difficult to deal with the college entrance examination.

2. Counterpart enrollment refers to the graduates of secondary vocational schools (including general secondary schools, vocational high schools, vocational secondary schools, adult secondary schools and technical schools) and comprehensive high schools, mainly taking cultural courses, Chinese, mathematics, English, professional basic courses and professional courses.

3. Independent enrollment in higher vocational colleges, as a way authorized by the state to organize examination enrollment independently, was completed before the college entrance examination. According to the relevant documents of the Ministry of Education, after the individual enrollment is confirmed, candidates will no longer take the national unified college entrance examination, and those who are not admitted can continue to take the national unified college entrance examination.

4. Five-year consistent college enrollment Five-year consistent college: also known as "junior high school starting college education", junior high school graduates who take the senior high school entrance examination directly enter higher vocational and technical colleges for consistent training.
