Science students aiming for the top, compete on their Chinese language scores.
Although in the practical sciences, Chinese is the least important, even less so than English.
But in science exams, it's primarily Chinese that differentiates the ranks.
Just as in the liberal arts, it's always math that pulls down the scores.
After all, there are just too many masters of comprehensive liberal arts.
Unlike the college entrance examination political science, where it's common to score high in high school politics, liberal arts students generally (but not exclusively) enjoy history. Thus, any top student who chooses liberal arts won't let comprehensive liberal arts drag down their scores; otherwise, there would be no point in choosing liberal arts.
In other words, the college entrance examination is a competition of weaknesses.
For the majority of comprehensive science test experts, Chinese is not an easy subject.
The outcome of the battle is often determined by the first exam.
