In plain English

This repository is a collection of past exam papers for Chinese graduate school entrance exams in computer science and software engineering. In China, students who want to pursue a master's degree must pass a national entrance examination, and many universities also set their own subject-specific tests. This project gathers those past papers, organized by university and exam subject code, so students preparing for the exams can practice with real questions. The repository covers a large number of Chinese universities across the country, from top-tier institutions in Beijing and Shanghai to universities in other provinces and regions. For each school, the collection includes papers from different years and different subject codes, since universities change their exam formats and subject codes over time. Papers are stored as PDF files and are organized into folders by school name and subject. There is also a national standardized exam section called the 408, which covers four computer science topics: data structures, computer organization, operating systems, and computer networks. Many universities accept the 408 instead of their own custom exam, so papers for the national 408 from 2009 onward are included as well. The project is maintained by someone who also runs educational content on Chinese social platforms under the name "Computer and Software Graduate Entrance Exam," and community members can contribute links to additional past papers through the issue tracker or an affiliated forum. An acknowledgment file credits contributors who provided exam paper sources. The full README is longer than what was shown.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I'm preparing for the Chinese CS graduate entrance exam at a specific university. Based on past exam papers in this collection, which topics appear most often and what is the best study order for data structures, OS, networks, and computer organization?
Prompt 2
Using the 408 national exam format covering data structures, computer organization, operating systems, and computer networks, create a 4-week study plan for someone with basic CS knowledge.
Prompt 3
I found a past exam paper from this collection. Help me work through these problems step by step, explaining each concept in plain English.
Prompt 4
What is the difference between the 408 national standardized exam and a university-specific exam for Chinese CS graduate admissions, and how should I decide which one to prepare for?
