Features: Since the implementation of the civil service recruitment examination system over a decade ago, the organization and question-setting processes have become increasingly institutionalized, standardized, and regulated. Competition has also grown increasingly fierce. In recent years, especially, with the sharp increase in the number of candidates applying for civil service positions, examinations at central and national agencies as well as those in various local governments have significantly raised the difficulty of test questions to truly achieve the goal of selecting the best candidates. This has posed new challenges for candidates in their preparation. However, some reference and guidebooks currently available on the market still follow outdated question-setting approaches, greatly misleading candidates and, as a result, affecting their preparation efficiency and success rates in passing the exams. In response to this situation, Xu Songtao, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of China, specially organized scholars from Renmin University of China, the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the National School of Administration, and other institutions who conduct theoretical research on civil service recruitment examination question-setting, as well as experts from the Ministry of Personnel and central and local government agencies dedicated to civil service recruitment practices. Together, they meticulously compiled this authoritative and practical nationwide standardized textbook series, consisting of 11 volumes: Shenlun (Essay Writing), Administrative Professional Ability Test (APAT), Public Knowledge, Shenlun Exam Analysis and Solutions, APAT Exam Analysis and Solutions, Public Knowledge Exam Analysis and Solutions, APAT Standardized Question Bank, Public Knowledge Standardized Question Bank, Shenlun Sprint Simulation Tests, APAT Sprint Simulation Tests, and Public Knowledge Sprint Simulation Tests.
