Coming soon! " In the autumn of 2023, Shanghai's college entrance examination will begin, and there will be sweat from the candidates
On June 7th, 2023, the unified cultural examination for the enrollment of ordinary higher education institutions in Shanghai officially kicked off, with the first subject being Chinese. The Ministry of Education announced that the number of applicants for the national college entrance examination in 2023 was 12.91 million, an increase of 980000 from last year, setting a new historical high. Last year, the number of Shanghai candidates who registered for the autumn college entrance examination in Shanghai was over 50000, and this year there may be a certain increase in the number of Shanghai candidates. This year is the first time for the college entrance examination under the new situation of "Class B and Class B management" of the COVID-19. What are the new changes in the college entrance examination this year?
"All outcomes are the best arrangements"
On June 7th at 7:30, one and a half hours before the start of the college entrance examination, teachers from Beijiao Senior High School affiliated with Shanghai University of Finance and Economics arrived early at the entrance of the First Affiliated Middle School of East China Normal University to send off the candidates taking the college entrance examination today.
I saw that some of the teachers were wearing red t-shirts with the words "koi" printed on them, symbolizing good luck; There is also a horse printed on it, symbolizing "success at all costs". The homeroom teacher is holding a form with the names of the students who came to take the college entrance examination today printed on it. Once the students arrive at the entrance of the examination center, they will report to the homeroom teacher. I saw the homeroom teacher repeatedly confirming whether the candidates had brought their "admission tickets and ID cards", and repeatedly reminding "girls not to wear hair rings with metal accessories, and boys should also pay attention to their belts." "Mobile phones must not be brought into the exam center, handed over to parents or teachers." "Carefully review the questions, do not miss them." "Write the words correctly."

In fact, as early as last Friday, the preparation for the "sending exam" at Shangcai Beijiao Senior High School had already begun. On that day, the school held a "collective class meeting", and the teaching director Zhang Baosen reminded and wished the candidates: "After three years of learning, there has been effort, hard work, and sweat, and now we are about to usher in a harvest season. Wishing all students a smooth exam and winning the gold medal." During the collective class meeting, the teachers gave "lucky bags" to the candidates and put their beautiful wishes in writing.
The candidates from Shanghai Fuxing Senior High School arrived at the examination center wearing school uniforms one after another. "This year's change is that backpacks, mobile phones, and other items cannot be brought into the exam center, so the school has purchased transparent mesh bags and sent them to students to store exam supplies." Teacher Wang Xinlei from Fuxing Senior High School said that there are also careful teachers who have specially prepared rubber bands and hairbands to facilitate candidates to replace them in advance and pass the security check smoothly.

The reporter saw at the scene that "the exam spirit possessed the body, winning the championship in one fell swoop", "Mingsu School, achieving success on horseback", "Wonderful writing shines, winning every exam", "A bright future ahead, meeting at the peak"... The teachers of Fuxing Senior High School held specially customized signs and shook hands with their classmates one by one before entering the exam room, cheering them on. Starting two weeks before the exam, Fuxing Senior High School has been tracking the physical health status of over 300 high school seniors one by one. If any candidates feel unwell, the homeroom teacher will call them daily to provide psychological comfort, help them relax, and remind them to reduce their visits to crowded places.

Some students hold a stack of review materials in their hands, with notes densely recorded on them. Before entering the exam center, they memorize important knowledge points again; Some are flipping through their own collection of incorrect questions and their own "Red Book"; Some are consulting with teachers to answer questions on site; Some encourage each other with their classmates; Some embrace their parents with deep affection... After being reminded, the parents who send their children to the exam stand aside, while others hold fans and prepare to watch their children enter the exam room from a distance; If so, chat with other parents. "I specially wore a red qipao today to cheer for my child and hope she can perform normally," Li Siqi's mother at Fuxing Senior High School told me

[Entry: Security checkpoint+metal detector]
Unlike before, this year's college entrance examination fully adopts the "intelligent security gate+handheld metal detector" mode for entry security checks. Therefore, many exam centers this year can enter one after another 90 minutes in advance.
The reporter saw at the entrance of the First Affiliated Middle School of China Normal University that there were two intelligent security gates under the red tent, with a male passage on the left and a female passage on the right. Students hold transparent information bags containing exam supplies and queue up in an orderly manner to pass through the intelligent security gate. Afterwards, the examination staff hold metal detectors for safety checks. Only after passing can candidates enter the examination center. "It's like airport security," said the parent to themselves as they watched their child enter smoothly.
On the eve of the exam, the Shanghai Education Examination Institute issued a pre exam reminder: in order to facilitate quick security checks, it is recommended that candidates use transparent stationery bags and transparent information bags to carry exam supplies such as stationery, radios, and daily personal items; Wear clothing without metal accessories. The hearing aids, cochlear implants, crutches, wheelchairs, etc. carried by disabled candidates who apply for reasonable convenience can pass security checks normally.
Once metallic substances are found when entering the intelligent security gate, candidates need to double check everything in their bags and pass the security check before entering the examination center. Therefore, the Shanghai Education Examination Institute suggests that backpacks should be kept at home or handed over to parents or test takers for safekeeping. The reporter saw on site that some candidates may have items with metal accessories in their bags, so they did not pass the security check for the first time. After returning the items to their parents, the candidates successfully passed the security check and entered the examination center.

This year, preventing cheating on mobile phones is of utmost importance. Candidates are prohibited from bringing mobile phones, smartwatches, smart bracelets, Bluetooth earphones, etc. into the examination center. In addition to entering through the "smart security door+handheld metal detector" mode at the entrance of the examination center, the invigilator also needs to use the metal detector to conduct another safety check on the candidates before officially entering the examination room classroom, to ensure that items such as mobile phones, recording and playback devices, correction liquids, and correction tapes do not enter the examination room. And the exam center will also activate a high-power shielding device to block mobile phone signals.

The reporter learned from the examination center of the First Affiliated Middle School of China Normal University that 20 standard examination rooms, 2 backup examination rooms, and several dedicated examination rooms have been prepared this year for candidates in different situations to use, achieving the goal of "taking all exams that should be taken".
