In 2023, the new college entrance examination reform abolished the division of arts and sciences and adopted the model of "3+3" or "3+ 1+2", that is, foreign languages and mathematics must be tested, and six tests and three tests; Academic ability examination is divided into qualification examination and elective subject examination. Qualification examination is the basis of high school graduation, and elective subject examination is included in the total score of college entrance examination.
The latest plan for the reform of the college entrance examination in 2023 is the "3+ 1+2" model, which includes three subjects of Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages (including written examination and listening) in the national unified college entrance examination, as well as three subjects of random inspection of the academic level of ordinary high schools selected by candidates.
In the past, the college entrance examination divided ordinary high school students into two categories: liberal arts students and science students, and the math test questions were different from those of liberal arts and science. The new college entrance examination now cancels the division of arts and sciences, and students' knowledge structure will be more diversified according to their own learning interests, academic advantages and test selection requirements.
Compared with the current scheme, the new scheme unifies the three examination subjects of Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, regardless of arts and sciences, and uses the national roster; Elective subjects are selected by students according to the requirements of colleges and universities, combined with their own interests and the conditions and characteristics of middle schools.
Physics and history first 1, ideology and politics, geography, chemical engineering and biology second. That is, "3+ 1+2" mode. English, mathematics and three foreign language subjects, and the examination time of elective subjects is arranged in June each year, and the examination results are valid in that year.
