Postgraduate retesting is an important part of the postgraduate examination system, that is, after passing the postgraduate entrance examination (preliminary examination) to participate in, the second examination conducted by the organization of the applicant institutions. Generally also divided into written tests and interviews. Early postgraduate re-examination of more than just a form, but from 2006 onwards postgraduate enrollment increased the weight of the re-examination, some enrollment units and even increase the weight of the re-examination of fifty percent, which requires candidates to have a real talent and have a higher level of resilience.

In order to ensure the principle of fairness, impartiality and openness of the retest, the state has formulated a series of measures to standardize the selection process:

(1) Clearly implement the retesting of the power, responsibility of the main body and the management of responsibility: the enrollment unit is fully responsible for the school and the secondary management of the College, tutors, experts, the collective examination.

(2) to some important aspects of the re-examination of normative requirements, such as each candidate re-examination time is generally not less than 20 minutes, re-examination team members generally not less than five people; each re-examination team should also be each candidate's answers to the site records, and properly preserved for inspection; the same discipline (specialties) re-examination of the interview mode, time, difficulty of the test questions and the performance evaluation standards In principle, they should be unified.

In addition, it is clear that the school to implement the three public: that is, the requirements of the reexamination open, the method open, the results open; at the same time, require the enrollment units to uniformly formulate the tutor, expert selection and work norms, and all personnel training in policy, business and discipline, so that everyone is clear about the judging standards, rules, procedures and discipline.

(3) Strengthening supervision and guarantee. This includes the implementation of a system of monitoring and inspection of examination centers for full, comprehensive and effective supervision; the wide acceptance of supervision by candidates and society, and the possibility for candidates to appeal if they have any comments on the results of the reexamination. Improve the supervision and reconsideration system of the retest.

In recent years, the Ministry of Education has also made many reforms to ensure the scientific nature of the retest:

(1) Decentralize part of the autonomy to the enrollment unit, so that the research and recruitment units in the selection of talents have more autonomy. 2003, the Ministry of Education authorized 34 universities to independently draw the retest scores, and the Ministry of Education explicitly stipulated in 2006, the retest scores of the weight of the total score in general at 30% to 50%. 2007, the Ministry of Education has authorized 34 universities to independently draw the retest scores, and the Ministry of Education has authorized 34 universities to independently draw the retest scores. In 2007, the Ministry of Education once again made it clear that enrollment units can implement a veto system for retesting, which means that as long as the retesting is not qualified, no matter how high the score is in the preliminary examination, the enrollment unit can refuse to admit.

(2) not stick to one pattern to lower the talent. For those who have special academic expertise or outstanding training potential, as well as those who have outstanding performance in scientific research or related practices, a "green channel" has been opened: the leading group of postgraduate enrollment review and approval, can be appropriate additional points, credited to the retest scores; more than three professors of the school's own specialties recommended by the school's selection of the selection of students The leading group of graduate student enrollment work may not be subject to the limitations of the comprehensive ranking.

(3) The scope of the examination is broader, not only professional quality, but also ideological and political quality and moral character, development potential, innovative spirit and ability and other comprehensive qualities. As envisioned by the Ministry of Education, the form of the retest can be more diversified according to the characteristics of the discipline, with written tests, interviews, practical or experimental ability assessment and psychological testing.
