▪️Comparison of pressure between postgraduate entrance examination and studying abroad
It’s just a matter of headlines. Whether you are taking the postgraduate entrance examination or studying abroad, the pressure is the same but different. As long as you want to get into a better school at the postgraduate level, the competitive pressure for postgraduate entrance examinations and the application pressure for studying abroad are actually about the same✊🏻 . But the difference between the two is that there are fewer options for postgraduate entrance examinations than for studying abroad, and competitive pressure is concentrated on one institution, while for studying abroad you can apply to multiple institutions and majors.
▪️Comparison of postgraduate entrance examination and study abroad timelines
🔘Generally speaking, most students who take the postgraduate entrance examination will start preparations in the second semester of their junior year, and the examination will be in mid-to-late December.
🔘The application for studying abroad starts from around September and ends in February or March of the following year. This period is the peak period for applications.
▪️How to prepare both hands?
The focus of preparation for studying abroad is language proficiency, and English subjects are also included in postgraduate entrance examination preparation. In fact, it is recommended that students with a good English foundation can start preparing for IELTS or other language exams in the second semester of their junior year, and students with a weak English foundation can start earlier. In addition, although these two pathways require one year in advance, the scores in each subject of your freshman and sophomore years are also very important from the moment you enter university. Whether you are taking the postgraduate entrance examination or studying abroad, you need hard skills. ——Equally divided. Only a high average score can raise your threshold. At the same time, it is recommended that if students want to make two-hand preparations, they need to find a reliable third party to apply for studying abroad. This will also save you a lot of energy.
