The traditional college entrance examination is mainly based on scores.

The principle of score priority is to rank all students on the score line of the school according to the scores of the college entrance examination from high to low, regardless of the differences in professional level, and then determine the major to be admitted according to the professional volunteers reported by the candidates. If the candidate's first major is full, the candidate's second major will be considered in order. If the reported five majors cannot be admitted, the next candidate's volunteer will be considered in turn.

For example, the same school can fill in six professional volunteers on the college entrance examination volunteer form in a province. The computer filing method is: rank all candidates from high score to low score, and then file in turn according to the high score as the first professional choice. When voting for a candidate, the first professional volunteer he reported was full, and the second professional volunteer was regarded as the first volunteer to queue up at the corresponding post. When it is his turn to file again, if his second major is not full, he will file in this major, or this major is still full, and so on.
