The following is a good classic course of personal struggle for postgraduate entrance examination. Review the suggestions, hoping to help you. ...
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it has been some time since I bid farewell to my graduate career. But when I look back on my life, I still have mixed feelings. Anyway, I persisted, and the door of my dream university finally opened to me. To sum up this postgraduate entrance examination, I think the key to success lies in eight words: sureness, perseverance, planning and goals. It is these eight words that have accompanied me through the whole postgraduate career.
Find yourself a firm reason to take the postgraduate entrance examination and then work hard.
First of all, talk about practicality and perseverance. A person who is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination is absolutely indispensable. If you decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination today, you must persevere in your pursuit, at least in the first half of this year. When listening to Wenhai's whole class planning, Liang Weiwei said to us: "If you sit here today and decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination, please stick to it;" If you are going to give up in the future, please give up now and don't prepare anything. " The meaning of this sentence is roughly that if we give up after preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination for two months, we will not only fail to achieve results, but lose ourselves for two good months, which can be said to be nothing; If you persist, even if you don't succeed, you will find a lot of gains in the end; But in other words, if we really work hard, I believe the chances of success are very, very great. Postgraduate entrance examination is a battle without smoke. If you want to succeed, you must work hard and don't have any luck.
Make a plan that suits you and use flexible tactics to "reach the standard"
Speaking of "plan" and "goal", I hope all students who are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination will first determine a suitable goal and then work hard for it. At the same time, everyone should have their own plan, a plan to work towards the goal, which should be divided into long-term plans (such as what tasks to complete at each stage and so on). ) and short-term plans (such as how to divide more than ten hours of study every day). Of course, a good plan should not be rigid, but flexible and elastic. In other words, when the plan is made, it is natural to implement it, but this does not mean blind implementation. We should communicate with our classmates from time to time, especially those who are well prepared, and then improve our plans in time. At the same time, you can often listen to some free lectures and make appropriate adjustments according to some professional suggestions from teachers. I often listen to some good lectures before preparing for the exam, such as the overall planning of Wenhai, because I always feel that sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter, and the efficiency will be high if the knife is fast.
As a high-scoring student in Wenhai, I also participated in some experience exchange meetings organized by Wenhai. I want to give a general introduction to the issues that my brothers and sisters care about at the exchange meeting, hoping to help more brothers and sisters.
First, the choice of institutions.
Many students are still struggling with the choice of institutions, which is very confusing. Considering the differences between different institutions, majors and people, I can only provide some questions that should be paid attention to when choosing institutions:
1. I think when choosing an institution, I should pay more attention to what the professional courses required by the majors set up by my favorite institution, and then evaluate which institution I am better at.
Take my own experience as an example. Last April, I was also wondering whether to enter Nanjing University or Xiamen University as an accountant. In the end, I chose the accounting major of Xiamen University, not only because the accounting major of Xiamen University is very strong. Another reason is that Nanjing University's accounting major should take an examination of accounting integration, and Xiamen University's accounting major should take an examination of management and microeconomics. Personally, I feel that I am good at management and microeconomics, but for accounting synthesis, I am obviously at a disadvantage because I didn't take CPA for my undergraduate course. Considering these factors comprehensively, I decided to choose Xiamen University.
2. Consider future fields of employment.
Because many students may choose to work after graduate school, at this time, we need to consider the influence and popularity of our institution in our favorite future work area during graduate school. On the other hand, some of the students I met during the graduate school are very important contacts, and these students are likely to be employed in the area where the college is located in the future, which determines that a large part of their contacts will take root here in the future.
3. Pay more attention to the enrollment changes of favorite colleges in recent years.
For example, we can learn about the trend of the unified recruitment quota in recent years through some seniors and sisters, such as the decrease of the unified recruitment quota year by year, the increase of the number of referees, or the opposite trend, or the college suddenly changed its policy this year to recruit only professional masters. This information must be mastered, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes.
4. Fully evaluate your own strength. If you think you have the strength to be admitted to your favorite college, you must be confident and don't sell yourself short. But don't be blind and confident. When we find that our strength is far from the requirements of our favorite institutions, we should make a careful decision.
Second, the review experience of public courses
Many younger brothers and sisters also asked me what to do at this stage. Personally, I think the focus of junior year next semester should be to strengthen the basic knowledge of mathematics and English. Foundation is king. Without a foundation, how can you improve yourself? Therefore, during this time, I think it is necessary to look at the 5500 words required by math textbooks and English syllabus in a down-to-earth manner. Before June, I basically read four math textbooks twice and basically understood the 5500 words required by the English syllabus.
Two-month review method in basic stage
I prepared for the postgraduate entrance examination last March. In the first two months of preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, I spent about three hours reading English words every day, and the rest of the time was reading math textbooks besides attending classes. The study time every day is not very long, and life is still relatively full and relaxed. I also study 9- 10 hours every day during this time. Surfing the Internet at other times, checking information about colleges and universities, and taking half a day to exercise every week. I prefer a combination of work and rest. During this time last year, I can say that I didn't feel any pressure at all, which may be related to my good attitude, so don't feel pressure at this time, because after all, it is still in its infancy, and the pressure will be even greater in the later stage. I think the review of professional courses at this stage varies from person to person. If you are an interdisciplinary candidate and have not been exposed to those professional courses before, I suggest you read the textbook now, but pay attention to the allocation of time. I think the main time at this time should still be in math and English.
Next, I want to talk about the review arrangement of each subject by subject:
Mathematics: review step by step, and there is no shortage of basics, textbooks and simulations.
In the early stage of mathematics, it is mainly to lay the foundation, and only when the foundation is firmly laid can it be lifted. Whether a tall building can be built higher depends mainly on whether its foundation is firmly laid, and so does the postgraduate entrance examination. Before June, I suggest you read the four math textbooks at least twice and do the exercises after class by the way. I don't think it's necessary to look at some weird and strange questions in after-class exercises, just do some basic ones, because I think the purpose of doing exercises after class is to familiarize myself with knowledge points, not to learn them in depth. The postgraduate entrance examination is mainly to test the connection between knowledge points and produce some comprehensive questions. At that time, I did all the after-school exercises in high numbers, but not much in linear algebra. I read the textbook the first time, but I didn't read it the second time. I just read Li Yongle's lecture on linear algebra. This book is not bad, and the logical framework is clear. I think it is very important to form a conceptual framework in my mind for the discipline of linear algebra, which has many concepts and is scattered, so I highly recommend it. Moreover, I also choose to do after-class exercises of probability theory, which can not only achieve the effect of practice, but also save time.
I prepared for the final exam in July, and then I went home for more than ten days, and I didn't read much, which led me to forget a lot of basic knowledge after I returned to school. At this time, I spent two days catching up on math and listening to the video of Wenhai's basic math course, which achieved a retrospective effect. Fortunately, I read the textbook twice in the early stage, so I soon became familiar with those knowledge points. So July is basically wasted by me, so I suggest that if you take the postgraduate entrance examination, you'd better not go home during the summer vacation and make full use of it. I think the two months of summer vacation are the most precious two months in high school. Because I wasted my precious summer vacation time, my later math review progress was slower than others, so I had to grasp the later time more tightly. Because I signed up for three subjects in Wenhai, I went to an intensive math class in August, mainly attending classes during the day, and I watched some English reading myself when I came back at night, because I felt that through this adjustment, different areas of my brain took turns to work, which improved the efficiency of learning. Through intensive classes, the understanding of knowledge points has been improved, especially the eight-character formula of teacher Ye Shengbiao, which is not only catchy, but also forms a fixed problem-solving routine for some commonly used models. This is a method that I admire very much. It's really entertaining. In the second half of August, I started intensive English classes during the day, so when I went back to school at night, I started reading Li Yongle's review books by myself. A very good book, I feel that the knowledge inside is very comprehensive, and the selected questions are very classic, covering many common questions in the postgraduate entrance examination. When I read this book, I was a little slower than others. I didn't start watching it until August. At this time, many students who review faster have finished reading, but I have my own plans, and I am still very calm. I often comfort myself: "Postgraduate entrance examination is not only about progress, but also about quality." I saw it very carefully for the first time. As long as it's not the kind of answer that I know at a glance, I have done it seriously. But when looking at a math problem, the key is not whether you can do it or not, but that you should learn to draw inferences. After finishing a question, you should learn to analyze what knowledge points the question has tested. What is the problem setting mode and what is the usual solution of this mode; After analyzing these, we can write important information next to the topic with an eye-catching pen to facilitate the second and third review in the future. However, it is definitely not enough to read a good book once, not to mention the review book is so thick that you forget the front after reading it. So I read it the first time and reviewed it the second time, which was a little rough than the first time. I didn't do every problem seriously, mainly doing those problems that I don't know how to do, or very classic problems, and marking them with a red pen for later reading. After I finished the second time, I did the Basic Pass 660 again. Many questions in it are classic and comprehensive. After I finish, I will check the answers and carefully analyze the wrong questions. It's best to do a set of wrong questions for this (I didn't do it at that time, but I think it really should be like this after watching my classmates do it, but I'm a little tight at the back, so I'm lazy), but I want to emphasize that 660. But after reading this link, I glanced at the review book again. The third time is a little rougher than the previous two times, but we still have to do it in a down-to-earth manner. For the questions that should be done, I do them on the draft paper myself and learn to analyze them. In fact, the key to math problems is analysis, so we must cultivate our ability to analyze problems in our usual review. After reading this time, I glanced at the wrong question of 660 again, but due to time constraints, I only looked at the multiple-choice questions, and I didn't look at the fill-in-the-blank questions for the second time. After finishing these tasks, I began to do real questions. The first time was done by completely simulating the examination environment, because there were only 15 sets of papers, so it was finished in 15 days. After finishing the first time, I immediately studied the real questions for the second time, because the real questions I used were also Li Yongle's books, and the second half of this book was mainly about knowledge points. I think there are several advantages to watching it the second time like this: 1. Consolidate and strengthen the understanding of various knowledge points; 2. Understand which knowledge points are the hot spots in the exam in recent years; 3. Understand the relationship between the types of questions given to each knowledge point every year.
After the second test, there is only one week left before the exam. In this week's time, I combed the knowledge points of mathematics several times in my mind, and then greeted the exam with confidence. So here, I want to emphasize that the review of the postgraduate entrance examination, especially mathematics, must be slow and steady. The review of mathematics emphasizes the word "essence" rather than "much". Don't hold the mentality that you have to read all the books recommended by others before you can be practical, but do every book you have read thoroughly. In this way, I got 147 in math this year, which is quite satisfactory.
English: Do a reading comprehension for half a day?
In this year's English exam, because of a small mistake, I wrote a small composition into a big composition. By the time I found out, there was nowhere to write the essay, so I had to give up the essay with a score of 10. In this case, I adjusted my mentality and finished the English test paper. Finally, I got 74 points in English. I think I can achieve this result without writing a small composition, which is my consistent slow and steady progress.
In my review process, the focus of laying the foundation of English in the early stage is on words. At that time, I used Wenhai's graded vocabulary book. For this book, I used the "repetitive stimulation method" recommended by Mr. Wu to practice key words. By July, I had basically mastered 5500 words required by the syllabus.
In May and June, the time I spent reading words was reduced to more than one hour a day, and at the same time I started English reading practice. I didn't do the simulation questions, but brought the real questions directly, and selected the real questions for three years as the simulation questions for the last month. I spent half a day reading the rest of the real questions. Some students may think my method is incredible, but in fact I have done a lot of things in the past half a day. First, I will spend 20-30 minutes to finish this reading comprehension, and then I will start to analyze this reading comprehension carefully. Because I didn't buy a grammar book to read alone, I will overcome the grammar level through reading comprehension.
In the process of analyzing reading comprehension, I did these things: 1. Analytical grammar, including all kinds of long and difficult sentences; I did this step for the analysis of long and difficult sentences in the analysis of real questions. There are countless grammars and long sentences in the real questions, which is enough for us to practice. Everyone should grasp them well. 2. Translation: for reading a short passage, translate a sentence after analysis, and then reflect on your own translation difference against the translation in the real topic analysis. Mark the unknown words, which is an excellent opportunity to consolidate the 5500 words required in the previous outline. 4. Analysis of multiple-choice thinking behind reading comprehension. Because English reading comprehension for postgraduate entrance examination is skillful. When all this has been done, I have adapted to the routine of the real question and have a sensitive grasp of the direction and thinking of the real question. In August, Mr. Wu taught us some useful methods of traditional reading comprehension because of attending English intensive reading class. Then I practiced with some simulation questions and mastered this method initially, but I was not particularly good at using it. At the same time, in the process of doing simulation questions, I feel that the thinking of simulation questions is sometimes different from that of real questions, and I am worried that my feelings about real questions will be biased by simulation questions. So in September, I gave up doing simulation questions, took out real questions, picked odd-numbered questions, insisted on doing four articles a day, strengthened the practice of some methods of English reading comprehension taught by summer teachers, and strictly controlled the time. I felt that the effect was still very obvious.
Because I didn't touch the real question for two months in the summer vacation, the real question played a good practice role at this time. Since there are only 10 sets of real questions, I practice with simulation questions after I finish the odd ones. I made four when I was in a good mood and two when I was in a bad mood. When the simulation questions are almost done, I change them to even numbers and stick to 4 pieces every day. I think the advantage of alternating simulation questions with real questions is that I firmly grasp the direction of real questions, and at the same time insist on practicing my hands with simulation questions to ensure that I practice English every day. In this way, the effect of dealing with English for postgraduate entrance examination is still obvious.
By June 5438+February, that is, more than a month before the senior high school entrance examination, I began to practice reading new questions. Because I have never been exposed to this type of topic before, at first, I felt at a loss. Later, after the teacher's suggestion, I found that new reading is also skillful. For example, sorting questions, we may pay more attention to the beginning and end of each paragraph. When there is a person at the beginning of a paragraph, there is likely to be a person's name or corresponding pronoun at the end of the previous paragraph. Combined with some methods mentioned by the teacher, I also got some questions to practice, and finally I was able to handle new reading questions skillfully.
At this stage, I also memorized 7 or 8 model essays of English big composition, in order to find the feeling of writing big composition. /kloc-the day before the 0/0 exam, I made my own template with these memorized compositions and some templates written by others. What I want to emphasize here is that you should never copy other people's templates in your composition, because the marking teacher hates this kind of composition very much. Once discovered, it will directly affect the performance of the composition. So I suggest you prepare your own template and pay attention to the number of words in the template, otherwise the composition will be empty or fake. After finishing these tasks, my English review is almost finished, and I have reached the best state to take the exam.
Politics: If the foundation is not good, we must make preparations early.
My grades in the political postgraduate entrance examination are relatively average, and I feel that the whole review process is not well arranged, so I mainly want to talk about my political lessons.
When I was a science student in high school, there was almost no foundation in politics, and I didn't pay special attention to politics from beginning to end, so politics didn't start until June+10 in 5438, so that time was so tight that the whole person was going crazy. Fortunately, when I was reviewing politics, I read the tutorial notes of teacher Wen Hai's intensive class over and over for several times, so I still have something to say about the analysis questions in the examination room.
In view of my own situation, I suggest that if my younger brothers and sisters are all born in science and have a poor political and historical foundation, then it is best to review politics earlier, but it is not necessary to do so too early, because many political contents are also to be memorized, and it is easy to forget if you read them too early, but it will waste time. I think August and September will do. If conditions permit, I suggest signing up for a remedial class. Why do you say that? Because if you want to get good grades in the postgraduate entrance examination, first of all, you should try your best to get high marks in mathematics, try your best to cross the line in English, and pay attention to professional courses. That is to say, in the whole postgraduate entrance examination process, most of the time is still occupied by mathematics, English and professional courses, so for a student with a poor political and historical foundation, if he wants to achieve better political results in a short time, he must study politics efficiently. Through the teacher's analysis and classification of political test sites, we can more clearly understand the key points of the political content of the postgraduate entrance examination, save a lot of time for our own analysis of these things, and thus be more efficient.
For some students who come from literature and history or have a good foundation in this field, it is another matter. You can weigh your own political review plan according to your own situation, but it is suggested that such students should not put off political review too late, because this may lead to a tight time in the later period and affect the mood of preparing for the exam.
Third, review experience of specialized courses
Because different colleges and different majors have different specialized courses, I can only say something in general that I think should be paid attention to in the process of preparing lessons for specialized courses.
First of all, for interdisciplinary candidates, I suggest that you review your postgraduate courses a little earlier.
In the early stage (that is, April and May), the focus is on mathematics and English, but you can also spend an hour or two every day to get to know the specialized courses, so that you can have a clear idea, and then seriously attack the specialized courses in the middle and late stage. If you are not an interdisciplinary candidate, and you have studied specialized courses in colleges and universities, then you can consider starting the review of specialized courses later. If the number of designated textbooks for specialized courses in colleges and universities is large and difficult, you should start taking specialized courses in September at the latest. In this case, I think it's best to start reviewing specialized courses in August.
Because I am an accountant, my major is management. For such disciplines as management, I suggest that it is best to organize my own notes, so as to form a good knowledge structure, better grasp this course from a macro perspective, and master some knowledge points more skillfully.
In professional classes, I think I can occasionally visit the postgraduate forum of colleges and add a postgraduate QQ group to facilitate our communication. It is best to contact the seniors of the previous session, because the information obtained from them is the most direct and effective. Especially in August and September, we should pay more attention to the enrollment websites of colleges and universities, because at this time, colleges and universities will publish their own enrollment professional catalogues one after another, from which we can determine the teaching materials of professional courses to ensure that the teaching materials of that year have not changed and prevent them from turning around. I did all this last year, and I feel that I have a comprehensive grasp of the dynamic information of the colleges I applied for, which may be one of the smooth aspects of my postgraduate entrance examination.
Fourth, talk about the second interview experience.
The preparation for the second interview should be different according to the situation of each school. In some schools, the proportion of written examination is greater than that of interview, so in view of this situation, I suggest that you prepare for the exam mainly for the designated teaching materials for the second interview. In some schools, the proportion of interviews is greater than that of written tests. In view of this situation, let's focus on the interview. If necessary, you can contact your tutor in advance. Before the second interview, you can look at some articles published by professional tutors in colleges and universities in the past two years, some related hot issues in your field, and look at the designated bibliography for the second interview. These are all necessary. Some schools may arrange professional English for oral English, so it is necessary to know the relevant vocabulary when preparing for the second interview.
For the second interview, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand. If you really don't know, honestly say you don't know, and be sincere. Teachers generally don't embarrass such students too much. For example, the last time I went to an interview, I didn't quite understand a question, so I replied to the teacher and said I didn't quite understand it. Finally, the teacher was very kind and led me to tell the solution. Therefore, it is very important to be polite and sincere in the interview, and it doesn't matter if you can't answer. The key is to show teachers a good mental outlook, so that they feel that this student is highly plastic and has the value of training.
It is worth noting that even if the initial test scores are very high, you should not be careless in the re-examination, because many colleges and universities have a veto in the re-examination. For example, if you fail in the second exam, no matter how high your initial score is, you will be eliminated directly. Therefore, the second interview should be fully prepared. But don't have too much pressure, because after the second interview, as long as you are fully prepared, the hope of being recorded is still great.
Postgraduate entrance examination has gone through many hardships, but as long as we stick to it, adjust our mentality and make down-to-earth preparations, I believe everyone will succeed. God rewards hard work, believe in yourself!
