Second, material analysis

▲Material theme

The national examination application materials involve the "five in one" five fields, namely politics, economy, culture, society, Ecology, but one aspect is rarely examined in isolation. Often combined with current social hot issues, social facts are presented from multiple angles and in all aspects, allowing candidates to conduct comprehensive analyses. Therefore, materials generally cover multiple fields.

In addition, in recent years, the national examination has examined more topics related to grassroots governance. For example, the 2019 materials involve rural governance; the 2020 materials include rural governance and community governance; the 2021 examination includes intelligent community governance and grassroots governance. It can be seen that grassroots topics have become the focus and trend of examination.

▲Material Type

In recent years, the majority of the national examination application materials are case-based, which account for about 80% of the entire material content, followed by 20% of theoretical and data-based materials. . It can be seen that the examiner conveys information to the candidates by combining a large number of examples with a small amount of theory; while the expression of theoretical materials is relatively standardized and can often be directly excerpted.

▲The number of words in the materials and the number of answers

The national examination paper usually consists of 4-6 pieces of material, the number of words is between 5500-6500, and the number of words in the answer is between 2400-2700. This means that the number of words in the national examination paper is relatively short, but the number of words in the answers is relatively large, and the answering time is tight. Therefore, candidates who apply for the national civil service examination need to arrange their time reasonably and improve their answering efficiency while thinking comprehensively. Get twice the result with half the effort.

3. Analysis of question types

▲Comprehensive examination types

Taken together, the four basic question types of the national examination are all involved. Apart from this, there are no differences in the difficulty level, answering techniques and methods of handling the material of different levels of examination papers. It should be noted that the two sets of test papers of the 2020 National Examination do not test composition, but are replaced by large official documents with a larger number of words. Therefore, candidates must be comprehensive when preparing for the exam, practice each question type, and master the answering method. , to cope with possible changes in question types in future exams.

▲A single question is tested frequently and involves many types

In the national examination, a single question is tested frequently and must be tested every year, and most of them test two or more single questions. In terms of types involved, common examination elements in applications such as issues, causes, impacts, countermeasures, etc. will be covered. In addition, some uncommon elements will also be examined, such as "change", "function", "development process", etc. The elements are rich and diverse, involving many types.

▲Focus on summary-type official document questions

Official document questions are also required questions in the national examination every year. In the exams in the past five years, every set of test papers has covered them. In the past five years, 12 of the 13 official documents examined were summary documents, which shows how much the national examination attaches importance to summary documents. Therefore, students should also pay attention to practicing such official document questions when preparing for the national examination. The official document questions are essentially just a single question and a comprehensive question with an added format, so they are not difficult and are very easy to score. Candidates should improve the accuracy of the official document questions through practice.
