When it comes to college students, some people will say that the current college students' academic qualifications are not as good as those of 30 or 40 years ago. Former college students were really scarce and capable. However, in fact, seniors think that the past cultural level is generally low. Although the number of college students is small, it cannot be said that they are all better than the current college students.

1984 because of the phenomenon of students' "high scores and low abilities", the college entrance examination proposition group innovated the college entrance examination mathematics test questions or marking papers with the idea of "setting questions based on foundation, ability and flexibility". But it failed to achieve this goal, which led to a mathematical tragedy in the history of college entrance examination. The average score of national candidates is as low as 26, while the average score of candidates in some provinces is only 10.

It is said that after the exam, many people shed tears in the examination room. The only word I can think of is "shock, despair, tragic". Some candidates even realized the philosophy of life. "Survival and death are a problem, but after that exam, I don't think anything is a problem."

At that time, scholars who participated in international related mathematics competitions did not get good grades. But in this test paper, many questions were later adapted into math competition questions.
