Each year， millions of Chinese college students sit for qualifying examinations for graduate studies， primarily in Master’s programs.Students prepare for those examinations either through years of arduous self-education or by spending large sums of money attending local training schools.The publishing of examinations-related study materials and the training programs offered， both online and offline， have combined to form a sizable industry.

　　每年数以百万计的中国大学生参加研究生入学资格考试，主要是攻读硕士学位课程。学生们要么通过数年艰辛的自学，要么通过花上不菲的一笔钱参加当地培训学校的课程，来准备这些资格考试。与考试相关的学习材料的出版，以及网上和网下所提供的培训课程，一起构成了一个规模可观的产业。
