New policy of college entrance examination in 2025

The new policy for the college entrance examination in 2025 is as follows:

First, strengthen the unified examination and reduce the school examination: the art professional examination is divided into provincial unified examination and college examination. For the majors covered by the provincial unified examination, colleges and universities should generally directly take the results of the unified examination as the professional examination results of candidates. For majors with fewer local students, we encourage joint organization of provincial-level unified examinations, which will be announced to the society and universities after being approved by the relevant provincial recruitment committees. In colleges and universities where art majors have been established for less than four years, majors involved in the provincial unified examination may not organize school examinations and directly use the results of the provincial unified examination.

Interpretation: Art professional examinations are divided into provincial-level unified examinations and college examinations. For the majors covered by the provincial unified examination, colleges and universities should generally directly take the results of the unified examination as the professional examination results of candidates. For majors with fewer local students, we encourage joint organization of provincial-level unified examinations, which will be announced to the society and universities after being approved by the relevant provincial recruitment committees. In colleges and universities where art majors have been established for less than four years, majors involved in the provincial unified examination may not organize school examinations and directly use the results of the provincial unified examination.

Second, the cultural scores have been improved: the admission control scores of the cultural courses in the college entrance examination for art majors should not be lower than 75% of the admission control scores of the second batch of undergraduate courses in principle (2021year: the provinces that have not merged the second and third batches of ordinary undergraduate courses should not be lower than 70% of the admission control scores of the second batch of undergraduate courses; For majors that have been admitted according to the results of the college entrance examination and cultural courses or take the results of the provincial unified examination as professional scores, relevant universities are encouraged to continue to adopt the same enrollment method in 2022.

Interpretation: For art test candidates, the policy changes in 2022 are mainly reflected in two aspects. One is to increase the requirement of unified examination, that is, candidates must pass the unified examination before they have the opportunity to take the school examination. Second, in 2022, the undergraduate batch will be adjusted from the original admission according to the professional scores of the joint entrance examination to the admission according to the comprehensive scores, which consists of two parts, of which professional scores account for 70% and cultural scores account for 30%. In the past, the admission of art-related majors in many schools was decided by the school itself.

Third, the "3+ 1+2" elective subject rules under the new college entrance examination: under the new college entrance examination mode, the first elective subject of art majors is generally "non-physics is history", and the second elective subject is generally not required. Therefore, the subjects selected in the new college entrance examination have little influence on art candidates. However, many colleges and universities have restrictions on individual subjects. For example, China People's University's professional unified examination results require painting to get more than 85% full marks and so on.

Fourth, school exams may be easier: art colleges with "distinctive professional characteristics and high quality of personnel training" and candidates with particularly obvious professional advantages are all good things, which can further demonstrate their own characteristics. "Strictly controlling the scope and scale of the school examination" has made many people understand that the school examination is more difficult. Actually, it's not. School exams are easier.
