The modern history of China is an important part of the history discipline. Students who have studied history must take the exam, and students who have not studied history need not. However, Chinese exams are sometimes interspersed with this knowledge point.

The new college entrance examination refers to the "3+3" new college entrance examination model. The first three refer to Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, while the last three refer to 6 middle schools, and 3 and 6 refer to students majoring in history, geography, politics and physics. Students can decide their own subject combination. Under the new college entrance examination mode, candidates' scores in three selected subjects are 100, and several other courses such as politics and biology are graded.
