Although the mathematics test paper of 1984 is the most difficult in history, it is considered that this "difficulty" is relative to the college entrance examination teaching, college entrance examination outline and students' general mathematics level at that time.
In the eyes of some candidates today, such questions are not particularly difficult, or they are not so difficult as to be described as "tragedy", because today's high school mathematics content is broader and deeper, and the intensity of mathematics training generally accepted by students is also greater.
Extended data:
The college entrance examination questions are made by the examination center of the Ministry of Education, and are applicable to most provinces and regions in China, with the aim of ensuring the fairness of talent selection. The national volume is divided into national volume A, national volume B and national volume C. Starting from 20 13, the national volume of the new curriculum standard is divided into volume I and volume II.
Starting from 20 16, the national volume of the new curriculum standard is divided into one volume, two volumes and three volumes. And starting from 20 16, the national volumes I, II and III were renamed as national volumes B, A and C respectively. Small languages (Japanese/Russian/French/German/Spanish) use the national unified examination papers, and the provinces have no right to make their own propositions, and the papers are not divided into A, B and C.
