How are the college entrance examination papers printed?

There are also many rumors about the printing location of test papers, such as "in prison, it is not impossible for criminals to operate": of course, most of these test papers are completed in printing houses with the qualification of printing top-secret materials. The college entrance examination papers must also be printed by the designated printing unit belonging to the national unified examination papers, and this qualification has been evaluated by the corresponding national qualifications.

According to the Notice of the Ministry of Education on Further Strengthening the Security Management of the National Unified Examination in 2002, these printing houses need to be approved by the State Secrecy Bureau of China and the Secrecy Bureaus of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the words "Printing test papers" should be added to the column of the License for Reproduction of State Secret Carrier. Because the confidentiality of prison printing plants is relatively good, at that time, the state stipulated that prison printing plants that met the confidentiality requirements for printing test papers could issue limited licenses for copying state secret carriers, so the rumors that prisons printed college entrance examination papers were not groundless.
