More candidates, less bonus points
更多考生，更少加分
About 9.75 million candidates will sit for the exam this year, 350,000 more than last year, according to the Ministry of Education.
據教育部統計，今年約有975萬名考生參加考試，比去年增加35萬人。
The ministry said in March that it would eliminate some preferential provisions that award bonus points to some students' total score, as part of its effort to promote a more fair and scientific selection process.
教育部3月份表示，將取消部分高考考生加分項目，以促進人才選拔程序更加公平科學。
According to the statement, no bonus points will be awarded for exceptional sports ability, winning academic Olympiads or science and technology competitions, being named "provincial-level excellent students" or honored for "righteous and courageous deeds".
根據該聲明，體育特長生、中學學科奧林匹克競賽或科技類競賽、省級優秀學生、見義勇為事跡等高考加分項目將被取消。
Previously, students with top performance in athletics or science were awarded up to 20 points on their total score, although some provinces had already canceled such provisions under a notice issued by the ministry four years ago.
此前，在體育或科學方面表現優異的學生最多可獲得20分高考加分。但根據教育部四年前發布的一項通知，一些省份已經取消此類政策。
