After the big exam, standing at the crossroads of choice, some candidates may feel confused, anxious

"After the college entrance examination, candidates should still maintain a basic daily routine in their daily lives," said Hu Lei, the chief physician of the Shandong Provincial Mental Health Center.

They can have more exposure and understanding of society, and participate in some social practice activities within their capabilities.

Liu Ying, a teacher at the 13th Middle School in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, also suggests that, while ensuring safety, candidates can enter communities and social welfare institutions more often, participate in volunteer services and public welfare activities, and increase their life experience while serving society.

Take the next step well

After the college entrance examination, candidates and parents start preparing for filling out their preferences again. Various regions will make full use of information technology to carefully organize and carry out special consultation services for college entrance examination volunteer filling, in order to escort candidates to take the next step well.

Students can easily access their college entrance examination scores, one point one paragraph tables, and admission results through the "Gaokao Tong" platform; The platform has also set up a "cloud recruitment" entrance, where students can access recruitment information, "cloud browsing" universities, and more.

"First, do a good job in the preliminary work of filling out the college application. After the college entrance examination scores are announced, adjust the selected colleges according to the score rankings announced by the examination institute." She said, in summary, achieve clear goals, clear positioning, multiple combinations, and a clear understanding.

"Students filling out their college entrance examination preferences can closely combine their personal interests with the needs of national development, and choose suitable schools and majors based on their personal grades and hobbies," said Xiao Longyun.
