Beijing Municipal Commission of Education announced that 68,000 people signed up for the gaokao (college entrance examination) this year in Beijing, 2,000 less than last year. They estimated that 80 percent of the test takers will be admitted into college, the Beijing Morning Post reported.

The reform plans published last year suggest that the 2015 gaokao will feature many changes. For instance, this year, students will fill in application forms to apply for their desired schools after the examinations, a process that occurred before the examinations in the past. Bonus gaokao points will be largely reduced according to the new policies.
