Personal situation:
I am engaged in education in Nanjing and graduated from Nanjing Normal University with a bachelor's degree in musicology for more than 5 years. 20 years ago, I began to want to upgrade my academic qualifications and apply for part-time graduate students, but I was busy with my work and never had a direction to study.
It was not until September 20th that I learned about the mental health and incomplete specialty of Nanjing Normal University. The content of the exam is quite consistent with my work and life, and I have always been interested in psychology, so I decided to apply for this major decisively. However, at the end of 20 years, the work is busy and the time is hasty. There is no time to prepare after signing up. The 20-year postgraduate entrance examination only adheres to the four exams and does not abandon the exam. It is the denominator in the vast army of postgraduate entrance examinations, so it is expected to fall off the list in World War I. In the face of a particularly strange paper, stand the flag immediately after the exam, 2 1 Be sure to prepare carefully!
From 2 1 on, after I made clear the direction, I began to carefully collect the exam outline and prepare for the exam. And people who fully understand the work are easy to give up if they don't have the atmosphere of preparing for the exam and professional training courses. After carefully comparing the training institutions, I chose Yilin Psychology as my specialized course. You really can't review majors 333 and 873 without tutoring. Several professional books are super thick, and I don't know where the key points are, especially for cross-examinees like me.
So I signed up for the professional course "Art Forest Psychology" and the English political remedial class early, and made a 10 month study plan.
March-May is mainly about English study. After all, I haven't been systematically exposed to English for several years.
From June, during the summer vacation, I started a round of specialized courses. First, I follow the online courses and use the compiled textbooks. At the same time, I drew the first, second and third test sites, which greatly narrowed the scope of review and made me feel that my knowledge was no longer strange.
The second round of review began in August. According to the basic study in the early stage, combined with the intensive courses and the key points drawn, I wrote dozens of pages of notes in detail, which is also my key review materials in the later stage. The following is the plan I wrote at that time. Of course, the plan can't keep up with the change!
10 I didn't touch any books for a month because of my busy work, but my mental state has been very good. I feel that there is definitely not enough time for students who failed in the exam. Everyone who prepares for the exam should be like this, so don't panic even if you don't plan ahead. There are also tasks with backs every day during the three rounds of review. I have reviewed four knowledge points one day in the last month, and I feel very practical. I can test my study by myself.
Happily, I met a group of partners in Yilin. Everyone has a job or a child. Encouraged by each other, they stayed until the end of the exam. Before the exam, I also reviewed with my friends who prepared for the exam together. Although they gave up a lot of rest time and worked hard for half a year, it was an unforgettable experience.
Two weeks before the exam, I recited crazily every day. But after reading it, I forgot. I deeply feel that I should study early, otherwise my memory is not very good. The last two days are exams, which are also the coldest two days of 2 1. It's MINUS six or seven degrees outside the No.6 gate of Heather Normal University, and the wind is cold. Because of the epidemic, I waited 1 several hours earlier. At the end of the exam, I glanced through all my notes and textbooks quickly. This time, it's really efficient. I feel that the brain is like a scanner, all the knowledge points are put in the brain, but it is also the result of insisting on forgetting to recite and forget to accumulate in the early stage.
An exam lasts three hours, which is different from what I didn't know to write last year. The two exams for specialized courses really last from the first minute to the last minute. The answer sheet on page 1 1 is full, and the exam content is basically reviewed. Some flexible topics are written with my own educational experience. Although I don't know the result at present, I think the efforts made in the past six months are right.
There is also 1 month to announce the results. Although nervous, but also expected, I believe the result will be worthy of my efforts. At the same time, I also want to say to my research friends at work that it is never too late to start, but don't give up when you decide. The idea of studying hard after every struggle is to cheer you up in the future.
