New Year: refers to a particularly popular school or major in a certain year, with a large number of applicants and rising scores. This year is its "big year".

Off-year: Contrary to "off-year", due to the small number of applicants, the score is reduced. Generally speaking, successive years are big years. For example, the postgraduate entrance examination in 2022 is a big year, so this year's postgraduate entrance examination in 2023 is a small year.

Is the size of the year absolute?

Under normal circumstances, "big year" and "small year" appear alternately one or two years apart, so big and small years are also called even years. Even years are considered relatively difficult to test and odd years are relatively simple. Where did this conclusion come from? Even and odd numbers are only a trend summarized according to the difficulty of each year's questions and the scores of each subject, and they are not absolute. This is just a trend, for reference only. Don't worry too much, just be prepared.

The real questions of the public * * * course are formulated by proposition experts according to the postgraduate entrance examination outline, so the difficulty coefficient of the public * * * course changes little every year, and the law of mathematics is obvious. Generally speaking, it will be more difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination in even years, and the mathematics in odd years will be slightly simpler. For specialized courses, there are many independent propositions in colleges and universities, and colleges and universities have greater flexibility in topic adjustment. If the topic of a certain year is relatively easy, they will provide the score line of that year, otherwise it will lower the score line and be more reflected in the score line.

The scale of postgraduate entrance examination is only a flexible change made by proposition experts according to the examination situation of candidates in previous years. As far as the 23-year postgraduate entrance examination is concerned, the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination is on the rise, regardless of the year, and there are multiple objective factors. At the same time, the policies related to postgraduate entrance examination are also changing. For example, the newly changed adjustment policy makes it inconvenient for many candidates to adjust, so friends should pay more attention to the postgraduate entrance examination policy, especially in the first year of implementation.

Good luck landing!
