Since 1985, Shanghai has its own high school syllabus, textbooks and independent propositions, which are completely different from the national papers of other provinces and cities in China. As time goes on, this difference becomes more and more obvious. The college entrance examination in Shanghai was originally in the form of 3+ 1 From 2000, I began to take the comprehensive examination, with a perfect score of 630.

However, other provinces and cities have gradually divided into provincial and municipal propositions since 2000, and the traditional national volume has become an independent proposition for each province and city. Most provinces and cities follow the traditional national examination system, with a full score of 750. Shanghai volume is unique as the experimental field of college entrance examination.

There are a lot of subjective questions in the college entrance examination in Shanghai, and thinking is far more important than calculation in the math exam. The Chinese test is also the only province and city in China that doesn't take the basic knowledge, and the English test takes listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation. And with the slogan of Shanghai Examinations Institute, the topic becomes more and more flexible. Every year, new questions always occupy a considerable proportion in the exam.

The new situational problems have a certain impact on naval tactics. However, for candidates, it is often difficult to write in the face of unfamiliar new questions in the examination room. In 2009, the mathematics test paper of Shanghai College Entrance Examination caused great controversy, and a large number of novel questions inevitably made people wonder whether the test was from high school or not.
