On May 11, the Guangdong Provincial Education Examination Institute announced the "2023 Publicity List of Candidates for Jointly Enrolling Overseas Chinese Students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in Ordinary Colleges and Universities".

It is understood that in 2023, the total number of candidates for the national joint admissions program for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese is 7,238. Among them, 5,097 are from Hong Kong, 555 are from Macao, 1,333 are from Taiwan, and 253 are from overseas Chinese. Compared with the 5,048 applicants last year, the number of applicants for the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students this year has skyrocketed by 43%.

The "Joint Examination for Overseas Chinese Students" has always been known as the green channel of China's college entrance examination. It is regarded as a shortcut to study in famous Chinese universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University. It is a good opportunity for children to achieve "overtaking on a curve". What are the advantages?

less competitive pressure

The number of applicants for the national general college entrance examination has exceeded 10 million for many years, while the number of overseas Chinese applicants is less than 10,000 each year.

According to statistics, in 2022, the number of people taking part in the college entrance examination in my country will be 11.93 million, and the number of applicants for the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students will be only 5,048; in 2023, the number of applicants for the college entrance examination in my country is expected to be about 12 million, while only 7,238 candidates are qualified for overseas Chinese students , and overseas Chinese students do not occupy the general college entrance examination enrollment indicators of colleges and universities, and their competition is much less intense than that of mainland candidates.

few test subjects

Compared with the general college entrance examination, the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students has fewer test subjects.

The science and engineering examination subjects are Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, and chemistry; the literature and history examination subjects are Chinese, mathematics, English, history, and geography.

Exam difficulty is low

The content of the joint entrance examination for overseas Chinese students is more inclined to the investigation of basic knowledge, and the difficulty is lower.

low admission score

Also with a full score of 750, the admission score for overseas Chinese students is far lower than the admission score for ordinary domestic college entrance examination candidates.

The admission line for the first class is generally about 400 points; the admission line for the second class is generally about 300 points; the admission line for art students is generally about 200 points.

Many schools enroll

According to the list of recruiting colleges and universities released by the official website of the Guangdong Provincial Education Examination Institute, there are 304 colleges and universities recruiting students for the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan joint entrance examination this year, which is an increase from 2022.

The number of admissions for the joint entrance examination will increase with the number of colleges and universities enrolling students. With more choices for candidates, there will be more diversions. Parents don't have to worry about the picture of "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge" like the college entrance examination!

Choice is greater than effort, and the vision of parents also determines the boundaries of the child's future.

If children want to take the overseas Chinese student entrance examination, the faster way is to obtain overseas/overseas long-term or permanent residence.
