Abstract

Students from private undergraduate universities were included in this study as research subjects. Questionnaires were distributed to the students to collect information in order to keep abreast of students’ motivation, preference, preparation and plan, encountered difficulties and adjustments made, demands, as well as other aspects about their postgraduate entrance examination. The results showed that students from private universities have clear motivation for their postgraduate entrance examination, but there are some problems, such as the lack of scientific choices, long preparation time, more challenges, and lack of school support. In view of these problems, this study offers countermeasures and suggestions for these students and relevant schools.
