Yangzi Evening News, June 30 (Correspondent Xu Yue, Reporter Ma Yan) After the college entrance examination results were announced, voluntary application has become a major concern for many parents and students. The slogans of the college entrance examination application filling agency, such as "If you do well in the exam, you must do well in the exam", "Don't waste 1 point in school", "Seven points in the exam and three points in the exam", etc., fully capture the anxiety of candidates and parents. On June 30, the Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Protection Commission reminded: Be careful of traps in college entrance examination volunteer planning.
Many institutions claim to have internal information and can accurately recommend schools and majors through big data analysis and other technical means. There are also organizations that claim to have college entrance examination application planners on hand, and experts can provide targeted guidance. The price of related software and expert guidance and planning ranges from tens of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

In this regard, the Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Protection Committee believes that filling in the college entrance examination is a major event in life. The anxiety of parents and candidates is understandable, but what needs to be paid attention to is , Relevant departments have never issued professional qualification certificates such as "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner". At present, the entry threshold for college entrance examination volunteer planners on the market is low, and the volunteer application service market lacks standards. Consumers should keep their eyes open and consume rationally when choosing expert consulting services.
On the other hand, some voluntary reporting agencies claim to have internal data, but consumers report that their information lags behind, and the data comes from information publicly released by relevant departments in previous years. In this regard, the Ministry of Education also refuted the rumors: Each provincial admissions examination agency will release the statistics of the college entrance examination results of the current year and the admission scores of various colleges and universities in recent years. There is no "internal information" claimed by consulting agencies or individuals on the market. The behavior of some institutions claiming that they have internal data is not only suspected of false propaganda, but also easily gives candidates wrong information, causing them to fail to fill in the form.
In addition, some institutions will promise consumers "100% success in filling out the application", but in fact they are playing word games. As long as they "study", they will be successful. Some institutions will even ignore the needs of consumers and deliberately recommend individual applicants whose scores are far lower than those of the candidates. Ranking schools and majors are guaranteed, which seriously harms the interests of candidates.
The Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Protection Commission reminds: These reporting agencies use information means to collect data to save consumers time. However, due to the reform of college entrance examination policies in many places, candidates and parents cannot blindly rely on voluntary reporting agencies. If you have any doubts about filling in your application, please confirm with the school teacher, admissions unit, education department and other authoritative departments in time to avoid adverse effects caused by information errors. In addition, when choosing schools and majors, consumers should not only look at college entrance examination scores, but also consider their own interests, hobbies, employment direction, quality and ability and other factors. The one that suits them is the best.
