The competition is fierce. Due to historical reasons, on the one hand, there is a large backlog of candidates, on the other hand, the country urgently needs to train talents. In other words, we must not only solve the problem of going to school, but also relax the quality problem. So the competition is particularly fierce.
79 years college entrance examination:
At that time, the entrance examination of the highest institution of higher learning emphasized "general education", regardless of arts and sciences. Candidates should take not only Chinese, maths and English, but also physics, chemistry, biology, history and geography.
In addition, "military training" was also one of the subjects of the college entrance examination at that time, including military internal affairs, field service and infantry training. Candidates in these subjects are slightly lame, and the final grades will be "delayed" immediately. It seems that it was not easy to get into the prestigious schools at that time.
Although today's students will find it difficult or simple to read the college entrance examination questions of that year, the comparability is not strong. After all, the background of the great era is different, and the teaching materials are different. There is naturally a big gap between the knowledge students usually learn and the exam questions, and at that time, unlike the students now, they would attend many training courses and cram schools. It is unscientific to judge the examination papers at that time with the present vision.
