First, the national line is likely to decline (except for popular majors).
On the one hand, the number of applicants for the postgraduate entrance examination in 2023 was 4.74 million, with a year-on-year growth rate of only 3.7%, far lower than the 2 1.2% in 2022, and the growth rate slowed down significantly.
On the other hand, the impact of last year's epidemic on the research examination is absolute. A considerable number of candidates take the examination with illness, which will greatly affect the state of candidates, and then affect the test scores, and then affect the overall score.
Secondly, the deviation of survivors is relative, while the normal distribution is absolute.
When the candidates are already struggling to prepare for the second interview, it coincides with the high score of the Great God fancy show on the Internet, which makes the fragile mental state of the line wiping worse. In fact, the operation of showing high scores every year is like this, which is caused by the deviation of survivors.
Third, the risks are absolute and the benefits are relative.
As long as there is hope, go for it. This is a truth that all children understand, and we need to understand it more. Otherwise, when the results come out, I really entered the second interview without preparation, which will make people feel infinite regret.
Fourth, all your efforts will not be in vain.
If the final result is really unsatisfactory, don't feel that the time for preparing for the second interview is wasted, because the essence of life is an experience. No matter what you get in your life, you can't take anything away in the end.
