This year's contest, the general awareness test was conducted on multiple-choice software transferred by Center 1 - Command 86 and Information Technology Department - General Staff of Military Region 4. The multiple-choice test content meets the requirements for mixed testing of multiple subjects at the same time, conducted on many different candidates in the same testing room.
