Regarding the postgraduate entrance examination, I would like to ask questions about interpersonal communication. Why do people hesitate or don't want to tell others when they ask which school to take? I If you apply for the same college, it will form a potential competitive relationship, so you will feel a little embarrassed to get along with each other in the future, and your peers are enemies. Also, you said that fear of being laughed at by others is another reason. Just because you don't think so doesn't mean others think so. If someone who doesn't know me at all asks me which school I go to, I will still tell you. The more students study well, the more questions they think about in this respect. Even after graduating from college, I choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, take the civil service exam, or find a job. I don't want to tell anyone, let alone know what job I found, where I took the exam, and what position I hold as a civil servant. If you ask them rashly, it will be considered as meddling. It all depends on who you ask and how close you are.
