Abstract

Student quality evaluation is important for admissions and exploring a suitable model is an indispensable part. In recent years, a new voluntary approach calls “parallel application” brings reform in entrance examination in China. However, it leads to a narrower admission score range, which challenges the evaluation work. In this paper, we choose a key university in northwest China as a specific example. Pay attention to both the quality of student source and the work target. We use factor analysis and cluster analysis of multivariate statistical analysis method to analyze the data collected from 16 provinces. Then according to the factor score of each sample point, we sort and classify the quality of students in different provinces .Compared with the traditional evaluation model, the new model adds two parts of index, the basic index and the extended index, as the basis to handle the parallel evaluation challenge. The result shows that the model is fit for the evaluation of the parallel application approach.
