Which ones are Area A and which are Area B in the postgraduate entrance examination?

Hello, I am happy to answer your question.

1. The division standards for Zone A and Zone B for the postgraduate entrance examination are based on the Ministry of Education of my country, which divides 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions into two categories based on the economic development and educational level of each region. Among them, Category A’s score line is relatively high, corresponding to the national score line in the first zone, while Category B’s score line is relatively low, corresponding to the national score line in the second zone. The difference in the retest scores between the two is between 2-10 points.

2. The cities in Zone A include (***21 provinces/cities): Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Chongqing, Sichuan, and Shaanxi.

The cities in Zone B include (10 provinces/regions): Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Hainan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang.

3. Relatively speaking, more provinces with strong education are concentrated in the first district, so there are more applicants and the competition is fiercer; the pressure on candidates in the second district is relatively less. However, if candidates applying for Area A have a single subject or a total score lower than the national line for that area, but exceed the national line for Area B, then they also have the right to choose to transfer to the enrollment unit in Area B.
