In March this year, Ms. Zhang from Anhui spent 8,999 yuan to purchase a "Dream Card" for her second-year high school students. After successful registration, Ms. Zhang will watch Zhang Xuefeng's videos introducing different majors in her free time, and will give her children monthly exams and mid-term exams every time. The final results will be sent to the team teachers as a reference for subsequent volunteer applications. Ms. Zhang said that the team does not recommend determining a major for children too early, as they are worried that the children will be biased towards disciplines.

"Buying the course is mainly as a backup. You may not need it, but you don't want to be unprepared. In addition to buying the course, we as parents will also learn about the knowledge about applying for the exam from various aspects. As for whether the child needs to use it or not, it really depends on him. When it comes to the final step of applying, we may not necessarily follow Zhang Xuefeng’s suggestions, but the child’s own personal wishes should be the main focus,” said Ms. Zhang.
Regarding the logic and methodology of the application agency, Li Tianqi (pseudonym), a college entrance examination volunteer teacher in Heilongjiang Province, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that in the process of helping candidates choose their volunteers, they need to understand the candidates’ ideals, interests, subjects they are good at and their family background. Candidates have a preliminary judgment; then the advantages, characteristics and employment situation of different cities and different majors are clearly explained to the candidates to break the information gap; finally, combined with the candidates' college entrance examination scores and rankings, the candidates' favorite schools and majors are screened out. During the application process, the order will also be adjusted based on the individual circumstances of the candidates. Can
ai be beaten?
It is worth mentioning that while some parents are willing to pay for "Zhang Xuefeng's" registration, a considerable number of parents have turned their attention to "AI registration".
Li Ling (pseudonym) from Hebei told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that she has been studying relevant knowledge about applying for volunteers since her children passed the college entrance examination, and has become half an "application expert". By chance, she spent 360 yuan to buy a volunteer card in a live broadcast room. With the help of AI, Li Ling's confidence greatly increased.
"Nowadays, the AI tool for filling out the college entrance examination application is so smart. After entering the college entrance examination scores, the software will give the candidate's provincial ranking range and list the available schools. In addition, the software also includes a personality analysis of the candidates. Academic assessment and other functions, and finally, based on the above factors, recommendations will be given for impactful schools, relatively safe schools and guaranteed schools," Li Ling added.
