First of all, the first and second volumes of the new college entrance examination are formulated by the Ministry of Education according to the same examination outline, and the test questions of the two papers are basically the same, with little difference. If it is really difficult, the first volume of the new college entrance examination should be slightly more difficult than the second volume. However, due to the actual situation in different places, the national college entrance examination papers include volume A and volume B, and provinces and cities can choose suitable college entrance examination papers according to their own needs. Not all provinces, cities and regions are independent propositions. Each region can choose whether to use the national examination paper, whether to use all the examination papers or only which subjects according to its own needs. These are all independently selected by provinces, cities and regions according to their own needs.

Secondly, the different use of examination papers in different provinces is due to the imbalance of educational resources. For example, there must be great differences in educational resources between Xinjiang and Shanghai, as can be seen from the comparison of the number of famous schools. Because of economic factors, it is impossible to achieve a complete balance of educational resources in various places in a short time. So which set of papers is really difficult and cannot be measured by a standard. The second volume of the new college entrance examination is obviously not the most difficult set of papers, but it can be said to be moderately difficult.
