Do I need to live in a "college entrance examination room"?

Let me start with the conclusion. As someone who has lived there, it is not recommended to live in a “college entrance examination room” as a last resort.

"College Entrance Examination Room" generally means opening a room in a hotel near the examination center to facilitate the examination. The biggest advantage, obviously, is that it is close to the examination room, which avoids various accidents that may occur when traveling to and from the examination room, such as traffic accidents, traffic jams, and even running back and forth because you forget to bring your ID materials.

It is true that if the above-mentioned accidents occur, it will really upset people, seriously affect their mood, and may affect the test results. However, these are all unexpected situations, accidental, and generally only occur with a small probability.

However, when living in a college entrance examination room, some bad situations are likely to happen.

First of all, there is the issue of sleep quality. When I took the college entrance examination, I was very lucky that our school was the college entrance examination center and we were able to sleep in our own dormitory. Despite this, in the college entrance examination, where thousands of troops are crossing the single-plank bridge, I, who usually have excellent sleep quality, also suffered from insomnia. Therefore, it is foreseeable that candidates who live in the college entrance examination room, under tremendous pressure and in an unfamiliar environment, are likely to suffer from insomnia or poor sleep quality, which will seriously affect their mental state and concentration during the college entrance examination.

Secondly, if you live in a hotel, you can only choose outside restaurants for food. The health status and quality are uneven. Improper choices can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort to the candidates. Taking myself as an example, during those days at school, I tried to avoid greasy or spicy food.

To sum up, I think living in a "gaokao room" during the college entrance examination will do more harm than good. Unless your home is too far away from the exam center, I personally do not recommend living in a "gaokao room".

In fact, risks on the road can be minimized through other measures. Try to go out as early as possible. Parents should help candidates check all the documents and equipment required for the college entrance examination before going out.

Finally, I wish all candidates the best of luck!
