The grading work for the 2026 College Entrance Examination is underway in an orderly manner. Yesterday (16th) afternoon, Beijing held a media open day event for the 2026 College Entrance Examination Marking. The reporter learned that this year, there are 6 marking points in Beijing including Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Beijing Normal University. How to mark the college entrance examination papers? How to ensure safe marking procedures and accurate results? Follow the reporter's lens to visit the Beijing college entrance examination marking site.
At the mathematics marking point of Tsinghua University, the reporter saw that the place is under closed management and equipped with smart security gates, metal detectors, signal shielding devices and other equipment. All personnel enter with valid documents and must undergo security checks when entering and exiting the marking venue; any paper, mobile communications, smart wearable devices, etc. cannot be brought into the venue. The system equipment and network environment of the marking site are all physically isolated from the external network. The answer sheet data server is deployed in a dedicated confidential computer room, and 24-hour video surveillance is implemented without blind spots. The grading database is double-backed up every day and a full-process data audit is implemented to ensure the absolute security of the grading data.
How to ensure safety and fairness in the marking process? According to the Beijing Education Examination Authority, after the answer sheet is scanned, encryption measures are taken to hide the candidate information. Objective questions are scored by the marking system based on standard answers. The subjective questions are divided into several parts and randomly distributed to the marking teachers. Each marking teacher can only review the distributed questions and cannot browse the entire candidate test paper.
Zhou Yuling, deputy director of the Beijing Educational Examination Authority: All test questions in each subject are subject to "back-to-back double evaluation". If the "double evaluation" exceeds the threshold, "three evaluations" or "arbitration" must be carried out. Abnormalities such as illegal papers and identical papers discovered during the marking process will be collectively studied and dealt with by the subject marking team. After the grading of each subject is completed, the examination institute will organize special personnel to conduct a special review of the grading data to ensure that the score information is absolutely accurate.
CCTV reporter Wu Wenqian: At the scene, we also learned that this year, more than 1,700 teachers in Beijing participated in college entrance examination marking. In order to ensure that the grading is scientific, objective, fair and impartial, the grading experts conduct random inspections of the test papers every day, and review all the test papers that have passed the "three evaluations" and "arbitration". It is expected that all the grading work will be completed on June 24.

How to make Chinese language evaluation fair and objective?
This year, the Beijing College Entrance Examination Chinese Language Examination will be graded at the Peking University marking center. How to ensure the fairness and objectivity of Chinese language evaluation? The reporter learned that the marking office has made great efforts in trial assessment, training, positive assessment and review to ensure accurate marking results.
Before the actual evaluation, the Chinese language evaluation paper must go through a trial evaluation phase. Through sampling and trial evaluation, representative sample papers are found, and a first draft of the "Grading Rules" and comments on the sample papers, as well as reasons for gains and losses, are submitted to the standard and answer review team for review. After discussion and modification, a set of reliable reference answers, scoring rules, and final sample paper scoring are finally formed. After entering the main review, the question team leader will monitor the marking status of all markers for this question from multiple angles, and the quality inspection expert team will adopt diversified spot checks to monitor the quality of each question. According to reports, this year's Chinese language marking work has further optimized the marking process, strengthened process management, and increased the proportion of spot checks.
Song Yayun, deputy leader of the leading group for marking and commenting papers at Peking University: Last year our quality inspection team had 16 people, and this year we increased it to 22 people in order to increase the intensity of spot checks and ensure fairness and justice.
