[Explanation] May and late October are the days for Chinese train driver exams.
The difficulty of this examination is no less than that of the college entrance examination and postgraduate examination.
The candidates are co-drivers who have just joined the work and cannot drive the train independently.
The co-drivers must drive for one year or more than 60,000 kilometers to take the driver test.
In order to achieve 90 and 80 points in the two exams of safety regulations and professional knowledge, these "novice drivers" must memorize the 400,000-word test preparation materials, and then use them flexibly before they can pass the test. The difficulty is comparable. "Hell Class".
[Explanation] On September 24, in the Liuzhou Locomotive Depot of China Railway Nanning Bureau, nearly a hundred co-drivers have been preparing for the "996" test for one month under the guidance of instructor Zhang Jianqiang.
The test is divided into driving regulations, driving professional knowledge and laws and regulations. Although it is similar to everyone's daily driving license C certificate, the richness and difficulty of the content are completely different.
Take the signal lamp as an example. The signal lamp on the road has only three states of "red, yellow, and green". The signal lamp of the railway has 6 kinds of lights. Some lights can also be combined with each other to indicate the running mode of the train.

The signal light display on the road is similar to the signal light display of our railway, but the signal on our railway is very different from that on the road.
The signal lights on the road have three colors of red, yellow, and green. Our railway signal has 6 colors, but we also have the main signal display and can be combined to display, green and yellow lights, double yellow lights, yellow flashing yellow and so on.
Let's take the pit stop semaphore as an easy example. The pit stop semaphore shows a green light to pass through the station, as well as one yellow light and two yellow lights. The speed of the pit stop is different from the requirements.
[Explanation] In order to pass the exam, the students also study hard day and night, just to pass the exam as soon as possible, and independently drive the train across the mountains of Guangxi.

Our train driver’s exam is definitely more difficult than the C1 exam.
Because compared to a car driver's license, you only need to know how to drive and obey the rules.
We not only know how to drive and follow the rules, but we also need to understand the structure of the locomotive and deal with some simple faults.
[Explanation] Zhang Jianqiang has more than 30 years of online driving experience and is an experienced "veteran driver".
After serving as an instructor in 2017, combined with the examination syllabus, he collected theoretical examination materials and test questions for the promotion of drivers over the years, compiled a train driver examination training material of about 400,000 words, and developed a 60-day intensive learning course to promote Liuzhou The passing rate of train drivers in the locomotive depot has increased by more than 90%, reaching the top 5 of Chinese railway units.

The content of the exam is relatively small, but it contains a wide range of content. The regulatory exam is 90 points passed. If you fill in the blanks and make a wrong judgment with 3 questions, it is very dangerous. The 3 questions go to 6 points, and there are 4 points left. Each short-answer question is 5 points, and one short-answer question will not be 89 points, which is almost not enough.
[Explanation] The technical level of the train driver is related to the safety of the railway transportation artery.
The existing railways in Guangxi and other southwestern regions of China have begun to "renew", and the degree of electrification and operation speed have been continuously improved, and the test of train drivers has also reached a higher level.
The content of the exam is becoming more flexible and changeable. It is difficult to pass the exam only by memorizing 400,000 words.
[Concurrent] Zhang Jianqiang, Vocational Education and Science Instructor of Liuzhou Locomotive Depot
We have rigorous standardization of aircraft operations. Another (student) must be proficient in driving regulations, as well as locomotive expertise, especially the speed of railways, and transportation efficiency. If the locomotive is faulty and will not be handled, the business level is not high. , It will affect the safe operation order of trains, and the business requirements will be higher. Therefore, our examination standards are getting higher and higher, and the training requirements are getting higher and higher.
