[Explanation] On January 8, the postponed central government and its directly affiliated institutions' 2023 annual examinations for civil servants' public subject written examinations officially started.

According to previously released data, nearly 2.6 million people have applied for the national examination, the highest number of applicants in the past ten years.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the reporter saw at a test center in Beijing that many candidates and their relatives and friends had arrived.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Mr. Chen

  It has been postponed for one month, and the preparation for the exam has been more fully reviewed. The score must be a little higher than before the postponement.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Ms. Zhou

  (Learn about the postponement) There have been some changes (fluctuations) in mentality, but adjustments are also being made.

Then (now) I am very happy to enter the examination room.

I think it would be good to pass the exam safely.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Ms. Gu

  After "Yang" it should be considered as a stage of rest and adjustment.

There are also some students who were preparing for the public examination together, and everyone encouraged each other, so we adjusted together.

So today (January 8) I just calm down and go into battle lightly.

  [Explanation] At 11 am, the first administrative professional ability test ended.

After leaving the examination room, many candidates said that the difficulty of the test questions in this test is moderate compared with previous years, and the time for answering the questions is relatively tight.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Mr. Chen

  It feels similar to the usual practice test.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Ms. Ding

  Generally speaking, it is still very routine, and there are no topics that are too out of scope.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Ms. Zhou

  There are quite a lot of questions, but the difficulty is not particularly high.

  [Explanation] In the face of the "national exam fever" that continues to heat up, candidates believe that they should calm down and improve themselves.

They hope to accumulate more experience through the national examination, and at the same time, they are ready to try other ways of employment.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Ms. Gu

  This "(national exam) craze" didn't (affect me), because I feel that I still have to compare myself with myself, and I still need to be hardworking.

In fact, I think there are quite a large number of people who regard this national examination as an "experiment" for the provincial examination.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Ms. Ding

  We have also prepared for the "talent introduction" (plan) in our (hometown), not to say that we only prepare for the position of the national examination.

  [Concurrent] Candidate Ms. Zhou

  I am also interviewing companies and so on, and I am preparing in all aspects.

Now the epidemic policy has also been adjusted, and social order is returning to normal. I believe there may be more (employment) opportunities in the future.

  [Explanation] It is reported that the national examination plans to recruit 37,100 people, and the ratio of the number of people who pass the qualification examination to the number of recruits planned is about 70:1.

In this regard, an expert in the public examination of an educational institution said that although the number of applicants for the national examination has increased this time, the average competition ratio is at a normal level compared with previous years.

  [Concurrent] Liu Youzhen, an expert in the public examination of an educational institution

  (Recruitment ratio) 70:1 is a relatively stable level in the national examination in the past five years, which will be higher in 2019, and the competition ratio will reach (approximately) 80:1. The recruitment of the national examination (plan) in 2023 The number of people is 37,100, which is an increase of (about) 18% compared to 2022. One is the employment needs of graduates, and the other is that the demand for grassroots jobs is still advancing.

With the formal implementation of our country's organizational reform and the establishment of new departments, there will also be new demands for personnel.

  [Explanation] In addition, experts said that the 2023 national examination will further strengthen the classification and classification examination, making the selection of talents more precise and scientific.

Candidates should be targeted in light of their own situation and make early preparations.

  [Concurrent] Liu Youzhen, an expert in the public examination of an educational institution

  For example, for grassroots posts, its important foothold is execution ability, and the key appeal of comprehensive management posts is analytical ability.

In fact, there is a clear distinction between the quality models of candidates, and at the same time it will better match the demands of the position.

For candidates, they are about to prepare for the interview at the end of March. They must prepare early and read some relevant exam hotspots to ensure that they can perform their best in those ten minutes.
