Exam translation checklist

Give every translated question source coordinates

A translated exam question needs a stable route back to its source. Record the paper, year, subject, PDF page, and question number before reviewing the English wording.

Why page references matter

A page reference lets a reviewer check diagrams, shared passages, footnotes, and nearby instructions. These details can change the meaning of a question even when the translated sentence looks correct.

Review in two directions

First compare the translation with the Chinese source. Then solve from the translation alone. If the English version suggests a different operation or removes a condition, it is not ready for use.

Keep the practice scope visible

The source-linked Gaokao subject catalog identifies the available paper context for English-language practice. A reader can distinguish a sample, a timed set, and a named paper before interpreting a result.

Source coordinates do not guarantee a perfect translation. They make errors traceable and give the next reviewer a precise place to start.
