[Explanation] Starting from July 23, all parts of China have announced the results of the 2020 college entrance examination one after another. How to apply for volunteers has become a topic of concern to candidates and parents. In the face of colleges and universities with different backgrounds and diverse majors, how should candidates clarify their clues and fill in their volunteers reasonably? Xiong Bingqi, deputy dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said that rankings are more valuable for voluntary reporting than scores.

  The current Chinese college entrance examination application and admission are actually based on the candidates' ranking in the province. Therefore, candidates should pay more attention to their ranking in the province instead of just looking at their scores. You should use the rankings, combined with the specific position of the school in each province in previous years, to position the volunteers, and choose the schools and majors that suit you. If this problem is not clarified, serious deviations in positioning will occur when volunteering.

  [Explanation] Candidates and parents are often entangled when filling in, should they choose a major or a school first? Xiong Bingqi believes that candidates should evaluate their own subject interests and abilities, and clarify their future career directions, and then choose based on the province's college entrance examination admission policy.

  What school and major are you interested in? I think this is a very important starting point. The second aspect is to accurately locate one's own strength and find the school that suits oneself according to one's ranking. For example, if you do not have a clear professional interest in a book, we suggest choosing a school as the main choice, because you can get more school resources after entering this school. If your strength is in the category of two colleges and three colleges, it is recommended to choose your major as the main cause, because these schools are employment-oriented, and it focuses on your employability after graduation. The third is to see how you want to develop in the future. If you want to work after graduating in four years (undergraduate), you should choose employment-oriented. If you want to study further, consider a major that can provide you with better academic training during the four-year period.

  [Explanation] Recently, Baidu released the "2020 College Entrance Examination Search Big Data Report" showing that artificial intelligence, e-commerce, clinical medicine and other majors are popular. Xiong Bingqi advises candidates not to blindly pursue hot topics, but to choose the professional direction that really suits them carefully.

  There is a saying called "Three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the industry." Every major is meaningful to a university. The key is to run it well and students learn well. This is the most important thing. You must consider your own interests, the entire policy, the development of higher education, and the needs of the society, rationally choose the appropriate school major according to your own interests, and earnestly improve your abilities in the professional field to achieve your best. This is your hot topic Professional, what suits you is true.
