Actually, there is not much difference. The placement is limited to English and math. Professional courses are all taken together. If your postgraduate major doesn't take math, it doesn't make sense to divide these two classes. In fact, there is not much difference between the two classes, and even 70% of the questions in the final exam are the same. Postgraduate classes can learn a little deeper, but students in ordinary classes can also study by themselves. That exam is only one of the conditions for you to enter the postgraduate entrance examination class, as well as your college entrance examination results, whether you are willing to enter the postgraduate entrance examination class, and the opinions of your tutor. Another advantage of the postgraduate entrance examination class is that you can take CET-4 in the first half of your sophomore year, otherwise you can only take it in the second half of your sophomore year. Of course, if you reach the top five in the final exam, it is possible to transfer to the postgraduate class.
Generally speaking, there is little difference between the two classes. If you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the school will give you half a year to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination in the second half of your junior year. Every major has a special study room for postgraduate entrance examination, so you have enough time to study. After all, there are still a few students who can enter the postgraduate entrance examination class, and the content of study will be a little more, but as far as I can see, there is not much difference in the grades of the students in the two classes. Even many students in the ordinary class have better grades than those in the postgraduate entrance examination class, depending on how you study and what attitude you hold.
