The college entrance examination is divided into written examination and interview. A few colleges and universities don't have written tests, but most of them will involve interviews. So, what is the most important thing to see in an interview? Peking University seniors tell you the truth with their own personal experiences.
The truth of self-enrollment interview
First, interview the type of students expected by the teacher.
Suppose a student comes to me with an interview question, "Teacher, how should I answer this question?" I asked him, "What do you think?" For this kind of rhetorical question, most students usually simply talk about their own ideas, but the deeper ideas can't hold back a word.
This is a typical thinking of China students. However, whenever there is an exam, there must be a standard answer. Even if there is no standard answer, there must be points. However, it is a big mistake to apply this kind of thinking to the interview of independent enrollment.
An interview topic, in fact, does not matter right or wrong. Dare to face and improve self-deficiency, dare to improve self-ability, dare to express their thoughts and opinions, are the most authentic self. All Excellence and Excellence are not comparable to your inner recognition. With objective and stable self-cognition, the best and best students show the truest.
Personally, I especially believe this: you can pretend anything, but you can't pretend to have any ideas. Self-enrollment is not a textbook-style student, but rather a student who says what he thinks and has his own ideas. Look at two points when interviewing for independent enrollment: whether you are thoughtful and confident. To sum up, self-enrollment expects smart and confident students.
Second, take the initiative to understand the interview school.
Because the self-enrollment interview is organized by the university itself, the interviewed school wants to know whether you really want to apply for our school, whether you are enthusiastic about our school, whether you know this major, whether you want to be admitted and work hard for it.
Therefore, it is very important to know the interview school before the self-enrollment interview.
The first is to inquire about the school's enrollment network;
The second is to understand the major of the school, the ranking of the major in the country, where the main research fields are, and so on;
The third point is to communicate with previous seniors, preferably those who have participated in independent enrollment;
Fourth, if possible, talk to one or two professors, which may not be related to the school and major you are applying for.
Maybe many people can't understand why they want to talk to the professor. In fact, this can solve two problems: 1. The tension of not communicating with the professor; 2. I don't know what is the standard of a good student in the eyes of a university professor?
Third, "experienced people" talk about self-enrollment interviews
For personal interviews, I think the most important thing is honesty. Yes, yes, I will. If I don't know, I will confess. Don't pretend you understand. If the professor exposes you, your interview will definitely be over. For example, you say that you have read a book, but if the professor asks you questions about the book and you know nothing, it will be very bad.
For the questions you are not sure about, you would rather admit the uncertainty directly, or even if you don't think it will affect the whole interview, you can ask the teacher on the spot to make the professor have the desire to discuss with you and arouse his interest. Then, to a great extent, professors and teachers must have a good impression on you, and the corresponding professors will definitely give you a good score.
In addition, if you have any questions about the topic or others, be sure to point them out. Don't answer irrelevant questions with questions. The interview questions of self-enrollment are likely to have some problems or some are not rigorous enough. If you point them out at this time, it will certainly be very rewarding.
For example, when I was interviewing, I encountered such a problem. It is not that the topic specially arranged by the professor is wrong, but that the topic expression is not rigorous enough. So although most students should know that the topic is a bit ambiguous, only I pointed it out, so this has become a point for further communication with the professor, or the point just mentioned. Once he starts to have the desire to discuss with you, he will definitely give you a high score.
Five Common Interview Forms and "Coping Strategies"
Just now, we talked about what kind of students the interviewer really likes, as well as my own self-enrollment. The following is an analysis of the different skills and strategies of five different interview forms.
First of all, one-on-one interview.
This interview method is widely used in colleges and universities. Generally, the interview time will be controlled between10 and 30 minutes. Examiners usually ask questions from the basic situation of candidates, such as why you applied for the school, how you study, how you live, etc., and candidates can answer truthfully.
After that, it will enter the basic quality test stage. Candidates may be asked about knowledge reserve, learning ability, psychological quality and many other issues. Questions are often quite extensive and can be answered without calculation and thinking.
Some science and engineering subjects may encounter some math and physics problems, which are generally not difficult to understand in the Olympic Games, but more open than the general examination questions.
Peking University once asked a question, "Why is the sky blue?" The question was raised by a young teacher in Peking University Institute of Physical Education. Later, I was lucky enough to listen to a class of this teacher and talk to him about this problem. He said, in fact, the question is not that you have to analyze the answer through many formulas, but whether you really understand what you have learned and whether you can fully apply it to your life.
support
1. Know what you know, don't know what you don't know, answer honestly and don't lie.
Because there are several professors around you, you must pay attention to your words and deeds and don't make unnecessary little moves.
Don't be nervous, just give a detailed answer.
4. Pay attention to eye contact and answer the examiner's questions. Candidates' eyes should stay on the examiner most of the time.
5. Be concise, don't make a long speech.
Second, the form of debate.
This kind of interview is not common in recent years. Individual schools will adopt this form, and candidates participating in this interview will be divided into equal groups. Generally, there are 4 people in each group, and two groups of candidates participate in the interview each time.
First, the examiner explains the interview rules to the two groups of candidates, and then issues debate questions, and specifies or randomly judges the advantages and disadvantages. After getting the debate, both groups of candidates have 5 ~ 10 minutes to prepare. Debate usually lasts about 30 minutes, that is, each candidate has about 1 ~ 3 times to speak, each time 1 ~ 3 minutes.
From the debate process, it is easier to find students' knowledge reserve and expression ability, and it is easier to find the advantages and disadvantages of candidates' personality, so it is easier to observe candidates' teamwork ability.
support
1. Be concise, and don't gush.
Be reasonable and well-founded, don't haggle over every ounce.
3. Listen with knowledge and argue with public interest.
4. Don't grab words, let the other party finish. Take care of the whole group. If you have expressed it many times, let other students have the opportunity to show it.
Third, there is no leading group discussion form.
This is also a very common form, and the candidates who take part in this interview are also divided into some equal groups. Generally, there are 6 ~ 10 people in each group, and then a group of candidates will participate in the interview at a time.
First, the examiner will explain the interview rules to the two groups of candidates, and then issue discussion questions. After getting the questions, students have 1 ~ 5 minutes to prepare reading materials. After the preparation time, the examiner will announce the official start of the discussion. The discussion usually lasts about 20 ~ 45 minutes, that is, each candidate has about 1 ~ 3 times to speak, each time 1 ~ 3 minutes.
Here, everyone will have different identities, such as icebreaker, topic guide, summary speaker and timekeeper. This form requires very high comprehensive quality and requires students to have certain ability to solve practical problems. Candidates who can complete the roles of icebreaker, topic guide and summary reporter will get higher scores.
But it is also easy for a group of students to discuss for a long time, and finally no one knows whose division of labor, so this group of students is likely to face very low scores.
support
1. Choose your role according to your own personality characteristics, your own situation and the situation on the spot.
As an icebreaker, you must be able to fully grasp the theme and expand the theme so that everyone can focus on the problem.
As a leader, you should be able to guide the topic and finally draw a conclusion. Always pay attention to the movements of team members and stop unnecessary quarrels in time.
Participants in a positive topic should be able to consider all aspects of the problem.
5. The summary statement must be general, high and valuable.
Fourth, the form of on-site interview
In fact, this form mainly appears in some small languages or English scene tests. This kind of interview is relatively simple, that is, we should prepare more daily expressions and be familiar with the commonly used vocabulary in various dialogue scenarios. Try not to be an icebreaker, take the initiative to open up topics and show your interesting side.
support
1. The expression is fluent, generous and natural. The words are accurate and appropriate, and there is a sense of interaction.
2. Have cultural literacy, be able to enter the scene and integrate into the role.
3. Balance the dialogue process so that your partner can communicate with you fluently.
We should add appropriate body language to make the communication process concrete and show our comprehensive quality.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) question and answer and collective discussion
The last one is commonly used in Peking University, called question and answer and group discussion. Personally, I think this kind of discussion is a bit like leaderless group discussion, but there is no allocation of identity.
The candidates for the interview were divided into several equal groups. Generally, there are 5 to 6 people in each group, and then a group of candidates will participate in the interview at a time. The interview is divided into two parts: answering questions and group discussion. First of all, the examiner will explain the interview rules to the candidates in this group, and then the candidates will extract the questions in numerical order and answer them. The candidates who answer questions mainly elaborate. In the process of answering, the teacher may also ask questions. After the main answer, other students can put forward their own views or ask some questions on this issue.
support
1. Read the topic clearly and get ready. Candidates who answer questions had better make effective use of the preparation time and make an outline.
2. Answer the questions as concisely as possible.
3. After entering the group discussion session, you can seize the opportunity to speak on the spot to show your understanding and thinking on this issue.
As an observer, the examinees should listen carefully when answering questions.
A "liar" who stands out in the interview
Dress appropriately and behave politely according to your age.
In fact, the most important thing is propriety and politeness. Girls suggest not wearing makeup as much as possible, but you can choose clothes that you feel confident and beautiful. Pay attention to some polite details, such as gently closing the door when you enter.
The interview time in colleges and universities is basically in mid-June, which is a hot weather. Remember not to be too exposed. The safest match is a T-shirt with a boy collar+jeans+sneakers. Youth and beauty make people feel good at first sight. Hair must not be too long, unless you learn rock and roll, just clean short hair. Don't wear famous brands, but dressing appropriately is a respect for the examiner. The central direction is youthful vitality, which conforms to the image of middle school students.
Introduce yourself with emotion, not by rote.
Every form of self-enrollment and self-introduction are essential. Of course, students with literary talent can give full play to their literary talent at this time, and students without literary talent should not be discouraged. Students with certificates can mention their award-winning certificates more. Of course, what if there is no literary talent and no certificate? In my personal experience, I must remember my spoken English.
Spoken English is very important, which is related to the interviewer's feeling that your self-introduction is not rote learning, but really introducing yourself. If you stiffly recite an article with many award-winning experiences, even if it is beautifully written, it will at best leave the interviewer with the impression of a nerd. But if you recite a colloquial article, it will make the examiner feel that your image is alive in an instant, which will make the later process much smoother.
An Inevitable Universal Problem —— Thinking about "Coping Strategies" in advance
In addition to self-introduction, there are also some omnipotent problems that can't escape. Common universal problems include:
1) Why did you choose to apply for our school?
2) Why did you choose this major/direction? How much do you know about this major?
3) What are you going to do in the future? What's your life plan?
4) What are your strengths? Why should we admit you?
To sum up these questions, there is actually no fixed answer. Because as I said before, there is no right or wrong in self-enrollment interviews. But be sure to ask yourself in advance, what should I do and how should I answer these questions.
What does the interview mainly depend on?
10% luck +30% knowledge +60% thinking
10% luck
Self-enrollment interview test improvisation, topic selection and team members who interview together are uncontrollable factors, so the existence and importance of luck is undeniable.
30% knowledge
Including high school knowledge and professional knowledge learned in advance. I have been paying attention to this major for more than a day or two. I have this potential, and I'm ready. Don't panic when asked professional questions. After all, the teacher asked such a question with some deliberate temptation.
As candidates, we won't be ignorant of our professional field because we can't answer; A little knowledge will leave a good impression on the teacher; It would be great if you could answer all the questions, which will definitely impress the teacher. Even if you really can't answer anything, don't be discouraged. After all, that's what we have to learn in college.
You can frankly admit that you don't have enough knowledge in this field, so that the teacher will not have a bad impression on you, but will think that you are more honest. But remember not to pretend that you don't understand, lest the teacher mistakenly think that you do, ask you to death with another question, or simply be seen by the teacher that your knowledge is limited and you don't ask for advice with an open mind, which will deduct your impression points. This is the worst result.
60% thinking
Answer questions clearly and answer whatever you ask. This is really important. Don't play any interview routines. Be realistic. You just graduated from high school. You've seen so few routines. All routines will be exposed to the examiner, so don't beat around the bush when answering questions.
Don't stick to high school. If you stick to high school, you won't play well. In addition, many high schools are slightly open, and it is very easy to go to college. Therefore, the brain must be flexible. If a child doesn't study hard in high school, he will show it immediately. If you can't do the problem, the ideas displayed are all plus points. Don't give up the whole process
Answer questions on the spot and test your reaction ability, so be sure to keep your spirit in a very concentrated and excited state, be confident, be calm no matter what happens, keep your thinking ability and avoid embarrassing situations.
The direction that an interview usually involves.
Generally speaking, after years of development, colleges and universities with independent enrollment have formed a relatively perfect interview and assessment system. Therefore, when preparing for the interview of independent enrollment, it is very necessary to study the interview mode, interview style and interview questions of the target university in previous years, so as to know yourself and yourself.
(1) Personal Basic Information
Personal basic information usually refers to the candidate's self-introduction, and the general interview teacher will ask questions according to the candidate's self-introduction during the interview and the resume in the application materials.
So remind all candidates to pay special attention to seeking truth from facts when introducing themselves and making resumes in interviews. Be sure to have corresponding cases to prove or introduce your specialties and hobbies. Don't say or write things you are not good at on your resume to avoid self-defeating.
(2) Understanding of the target university
Before the self-enrollment interview, candidates need to have a comprehensive understanding of the target university, including historical background, school motto, teaching philosophy, school characteristics, key majors, well-known alumni and so on.
(3) Cognition of the target major
Candidates need to have a deeper understanding of their professional characteristics, curriculum, employment prospects and development trends. In addition, candidates also need to position themselves, what are the advantages of studying this major by themselves, and what is the connection between their major and this major.
(4) pay attention to current events.
Candidates pay more attention to current affairs, politics and people's livelihood in their spare time, especially recent social hot news events. Universities tend to test students' ability to think, analyze and solve problems through candidates' views on hot events.
For example, the self-enrollment interview in Peking University on 20 17 involved many social hotspots such as "second child", "blackmail virus" and "industrial organization reform".
(5) Special theme thinking
The examination of subject professional thinking mainly focuses on the professional expertise reported by candidates in the independent enrollment interview. Therefore, candidates must have a deeper understanding of their own characteristics and thinking patterns. Candidates with this kind of thinking ability can only explore from problem-solving thinking and books in related disciplines, and usually cultivate problem-solving thinking in more disciplines and read more books in related disciplines.
(6) knowledge of social life.
The common sense of social life is relatively broad, and it is almost impossible for candidates to make a surprise tutorial in a short time. This ability requires candidates to accumulate in their daily lives, and to observe and think more at ordinary times.
(7) Values and world outlook
Outlook on life refers to people's fundamental attitude towards life, including the value, purpose and significance of life. Values represent a person's evaluation of right and wrong, good and evil and the importance of things around him.
For individuals, it is difficult to cultivate values and world outlook in a short time. Therefore, it is suggested that candidates should pay more attention to other people's opinions and comments when watching news events, learn to analyze and summarize, and gradually form their own opinions and opinions. There is usually no absolute right or wrong in the cognition and evaluation of things, as long as it is reasonable and convincing.

For example, if you ask your major or his major which is more difficult, no matter which one you say, he will say how difficult the other party is to refute. After you refute it again, he will still find fault with you. Personally, I think I just need a reasonable statement and clarify my views and reasons.
Questions will also involve personal experience, such as why you are the representative of xx class, or whether you have participated in activities related to your major, as well as competition experience and college entrance examination status.
Also, the understanding of celebrities in this major can't be limited to Jiaotong University. Some teachers will specifically ask celebrities who are not allowed to give examples of Jiaotong University, and the requirements are relatively high.
