The reform over English in the college entrance exam, or gaokao, has seriously affected the English training market. The reform caters to a combination of needs concerning time, students and parents.

Gaokao is the beacon that guides students on what to learn. In the past, the English subject in gaokao was test-centered. Training institutions only taught students how to cope with the exam.
