According to the regulations, the general equivalent candidates need to take an extra test, that is, those who have obtained the diploma of higher vocational colleges recognized by the state, obtained the equivalent academic ability with undergraduate graduates after two or more years, and met the specific business requirements put forward by the admissions unit according to the training objectives of the unit. Or, graduates with academic qualifications recognized by the state and recent graduates of adult colleges and universities can apply as graduates with equivalent academic qualifications.

When candidates pass the initial test and take part in the second test, candidates with the same academic ability will also take part in the additional test. Generally, the extra test is not included in the retest results, but it must pass the assessment requirements, otherwise it will not be accepted.
