Fake exam takers
Some university students, who are ineligible to take the civil servant exam, are trying to take the test by applying with false information — inventing degrees and work experience.
The civil service exam is only open to university graduates and people who have work experience.
Yang Qian, a graduate student at a university in Beijing, said it's common on campus for non-graduate students to find ways of taking the exam to "warm up".
Yang, 24, admitted that she took the test last year. Yang will graduate in 2014.
"I major in politics, so a job in the civil service is appropriate for me," she said. "Making myself better prepared for the exam will increase the possibility of success."
