Features: To regulate the process of master's degree application by individuals with equivalent academic qualifications and ensure the quality of degree conferral, the 16th meeting of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council decided to introduce a national unified examination on comprehensive academic level for applicants with equivalent academic qualifications. Starting from September 1, 1999, individuals applying for master's degrees with equivalent academic qualifications must obtain the "Certificate of Qualification for the National Unified Examination on Comprehensive Academic Level in Relevant Disciplines" to meet the prerequisite for obtaining the master's degree. The purpose of the comprehensive academic level examination is to strengthen the macro-control and standardized management of the national master's degree conferral for individuals with equivalent academic qualifications, and it is a crucial step organized by the state to assess the professional knowledge structure and level of applicants. In 1998, experts were organized to compile and publish the "Outline and Guide for the National Unified Examination on Comprehensive Academic Level in Psychology for Applicants with Equivalent Academic Qualifications." Over the past five years, based on suggestions from a large number of candidates and relevant experts, we have revised this book carefully on the basis of summarizing the experience of recent years' unified examinations. The revised outline (Second Edition) will serve as the basis for setting questions for the national unified examination on comprehensive academic level in psychology for applicants with equivalent academic qualifications in the coming years. It is also provided as a reference for universities and colleges in teaching and tutoring, as well as for candidates in reviewing and preparing for the examination.
