First, choose a school and set up a major
1, reasons for choosing a school
Jinan University was my dream school in the college entrance examination, so I firmly chose to apply for the history of China in Jinan University in the postgraduate entrance examination.
2. The difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination
In recent years, the enrollment of China history in Jinan University has been expanding, and it is difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination according to the ratio of 1: 1.2.
3. Changes in the postgraduate entrance examination of China history in Jinan University.
Before the postgraduate entrance examination in 2020, Jinan University took the 7 14 China History Self-taught Examination. After the unified examination was announced in September 2020, the specialized course was changed to 3 13 history unified examination. The history of 3 13 unified examination is characterized by a wide range of propositions, a shallow investigation depth, a specious style of writing questions, and not playing cards according to the routine. In contrast, the score of Jinan University dropped from 380 last year to 328. I think it's better to go ashore after the unified examination in Jinan University.
Second, the initial experience.
1, English 1
First of all, I want to introduce my personal English learning. I got 590 in Band 4 and 540 in Band 6. My English level is above average. I am good at reading comprehension questions, but weak in English writing. During the exam, my order of doing the questions is reading-composition-translation to complete the new questions. Zhu Wei, He and He are the pits to be avoided in English postgraduate entrance examination.

Word: Little Red Book
True questions: the truth of postgraduate entrance examination (the explanation is very detailed, with the analysis of each true question, suitable for students with poor foundation), Zhang Jian's yellow book (used when brushing real questions)
(2) Timetable
2-6 months ① Recite words. Recite one unit of red book words every day, and review them in the morning and evening until May and June. Memorizing words is very painful at first. At the beginning, I was in a state of turning over books and grandchildren every day, but I must stick to it! Words are the foundation and the most important thing for English postgraduate entrance examination. If you can't remember the words, the reading accuracy will naturally fail. If you feel that dry endorsement is a bit boring, you can use an app that doesn't recite words for auxiliary memory. ② Grammar learning. Watch grammar class, practice analyzing long and difficult sentences and lay the foundation for reading training.
June -65438+ 10 (1) At this stage, I began to do a real English test for the postgraduate entrance examination for nearly 20 years, starting in 2000 (only the real test for the last three years was reserved for the final sprint stage), and I did it two or three times. Prepare a notebook, record the new words in the process of doing the real questions, review them in time every day, and watch Tang Chi's reading class when encountering difficult real questions. 2 Recite words. At this time, with the foundation laid in the early stage, the speed of memorizing words can be roughly two chapters a day, and words can't fall on the last day before the exam. ③ Read foreign periodicals. Because most of the English reading articles for postgraduate entrance examination come from foreign periodicals, I have a good personal English foundation. I read a foreign periodical on average for three days in summer vacation to cultivate my sense of language.
10 month—1 10 month ① true questions with high repetition error rate or incomprehensible. Good at cloze and new questions. ③ Recite and organize English composition templates. 3 recite words.
165438+ 10-65438+February ① card time to do real questions for nearly three years as simulation training. ② Write your own English composition.
65438+February-before the exam ① Do the real questions for nearly three years to cultivate the hand feeling. ② Review the new words in the notebook. Train yourself repeatedly to ensure that you can finish a real English problem in three hours.
(3) Review the experience of each question.
Words? Memorizing words is really important! Very important! I didn't recite the words well in the early stage, but it was really painful to do the real questions later.
Reading? He who gets readers gets the world! Four reading comprehension questions account for 40 points in the whole paper, and whether English reading is done well directly determines whether English can cross the line. Er students who take the postgraduate entrance examination must pay attention to the time when doing reading real questions, and control it at about 20min minutes. The teachers who are good at reading and explaining are Tang Chi and Jing Tian. Tang Chi's method of doing reading problems is more inclined to skill and metaphysics. Jing Tian will show you a solid analysis of an article, and students can choose a teacher according to their own style. From my personal experience, don't memorize grammar when reading! When you encounter long and difficult sentences that you don't understand, you should contact the context and grasp the overall idea of the paragraph, instead of trying to understand the meaning of each sentence. I don't need to buy other English simulation questions. I have read the real questions for nearly 20 years enough to cope with the exam.
Composition? The size of the composition accounts for 30 points of the whole article, which is an important section after reading. I used English templates for my composition, and memorized four types of composition templates and some commonly used sentences and corpora. Friends with good English level can write their own compositions, and their scores are still higher than those with templates. Personally, I don't recommend the Wang Jiangtao English composition book that many people are using. There are too many people who use low-scoring templates. I suggest you find a niche template or write it yourself. In addition, it is suggested that friends who have time buy a Hengshui English copybook to practice words, and it is also important to remember written impressions in the examination room. Last but not least, you must write your own composition before the exam! ! After writing, I will find out what's wrong with me. Without practicing in advance, it is difficult to write a good composition within the time specified in the examination room.
Small three doors? The small three doors are cloze, translation and new questions, which are not cost-effective and can't get much points from others. As long as you recite the words carefully and learn some problem-solving skills, it is enough not to get points. Cloze has become easier and easier in recent years, and it doesn't take long to train cloze. Song Yixuan is a better teacher who has finished cloze and new questions.
2. Politics
Politics is a course with low investment and high return in postgraduate entrance examination. The key to high scores in politics is multiple-choice questions. If you can get 40+ in multiple-choice questions during the postgraduate entrance examination, there is no problem with a total score of 70.

Xiao Xiurong's family fight
Leg sister sprints back the manual.
(2) Timetable
It is not too early for liberal arts students to start politics from May to September, but it is enough for students who want to get high marks or have poor political foundation to start political studies from May to June. In recent months, I mainly watched the online class of Sister Leg, and I watched Xiao 1000, which is a joke. After the summer vacation, I can finish a round.
September-10 two brushes and three brushes 1000.
10-110, I saw Sister Leg's skill class. I think the skills class is quite helpful.
165438+ 10-65438+February, doing and memorizing 4 small 8, sprinting to recite the manual and watching the composition class of sister's legs.
(3) Review the experience of each question.
Multiple-choice questions ① You can brush Xiao 1000 three times, and the final choice question score will not be low. (2) Look at the skill class of the leg sister. (3) Do the real questions for nearly five years, feel where the digging points of the teacher's questions are, and feel the style of the real questions. There is still a big difference between the real question and the simulation questions such as Xiao 1000. ④ Personally, Xu Tao's exercise book and Leg Sister's multiple-choice questions are not recommended, which is too difficult and quite different from the real style.
Material problem? There are five major problems in postgraduate entrance examination politics. (1) Xiao Si Xiao Ba is a must-read, but the answers given by Xiao Lao are difficult to recite, so we can have materials to recite. Sister Leg's punching class will teach you how to analyze materials. What is the answer to a big question? It is highly recommended.
3. Historical Synthesis (3 13)
Specialized course 3 13 is the most painful subject in my review process, and the knowledge points as broken as dumpling stuffing can be called the unified examination hell. 200 points for specialized courses is regarded as no score. Since Jinan University changed to the unified examination in September, my experience tends to be short-term crash, which is not suitable for everyone.
(1) reference books
Textbook: History Unified Examination 1 1: China Ancient History Course.
Li Kan's Modern History of China
modern history of China
Six World History Edited by Wu Yuyao
Chinese history
History of western historiography
Counseling book: Hongyi (the biggest advantage is comprehensiveness, which can be used to check and fill gaps)
Awakening Me (the structure and framework of noun explanation and essay questions are very clear, so it is recommended to use the structure in the book when answering questions in the examination room), a dull and fuzzy purple book (suitable for fast players to build a general framework)
(2) Timetable
Read China history textbooks from February to June, take notes while reading and build a framework.
From June to September, I recited the essay on the history of China, and brushed the history textbook of China with two brushes and three brushes.
9- 1 1 After the unified examination, Jinan University quickly bought six books on world history, built a framework while reading them, and recited China history and world history essay questions in combination with the big purple book.
In February, 65438, we searched for leaks and filled gaps, and combed the context of China history and world history by reading the note frame.
(3) Review the experience of each question.
Multiple choice questions? In the past two years, the difficulty of multiple-choice questions in the unified examination has decreased. Instead of studying the detailed knowledge points that need to be memorized in books as in the past few years, it is changed to a material question that examines students' analytical ability like a high school history multiple-choice question, but the score is expanded to 4 points for one question. Students can buy some simulation questions from postgraduate institutions to practice their hands. If you have difficulties in specialized courses, you might as well sign up for a specialized course, such as one-on-one tutoring course for xxx graduate students, which is highly targeted, flexible in class time and free to answer questions after class, which is very helpful for preparing for specialized courses.
Historical data analysis questions? This question is relatively simple and can be answered according to the materials and the knowledge learned. In the process of preparing for the exam, we need to pay attention to the training of historical materials translation and sentence reading.
Composition questions? The essay questions of the unified examination have always been known as heterodox. They like to examine the knowledge points that you usually don't notice, and rarely give the original questions in the composition book, so students should pay attention to reading the textbook carefully. If there are really questions that you can't do in the exam, you must follow two major answering principles: First, build an answering framework in your mind. For example, we can answer this question from the following aspects: explain the definition, analyze the background (politics, economy, culture, internal and external, subjective and objective), content and influence (positive and negative); Second, we should broaden our thinking and try to link the questions we can't know with the known knowledge points. For example, in the essay on analyzing free trade in Britain in 2020, we first know that the time of implementing free trade in Britain was between 17 and 19 century. By reviewing what we have learned, we can think that the main historical event in Britain during this period was the industrial revolution, and we can see that there is a certain connection between the British industrial revolution and British free trade, and then it can be influenced by the background content.
4. Postgraduate entrance examination process
My road to postgraduate entrance examination can be said to be very bumpy. After the exam syllabus was changed in September, I was faced with the choice of taking the exam 3 13 or changing it from a proposition school. After a short struggle, I finally chose the hard 3 13, and almost all the self-made content I learned before was invalid. Judging from the difficulty of adjusting candidates for the self-taught examination this year, my choice is correct, the unified examination is the general trend, and students will have a greater chance of choosing a unified examination school to go ashore. In June of 5438+00, the insurance research failed, and the retreat was blocked, so I had to take the postgraduate entrance examination. From September to June, 165438+ 10, I was sent to other places by the school for educational practice. Every day during practice, I was on the verge of collapse. During the day, you should spend piecemeal time reviewing the postgraduate entrance examination, and stay up late reading until one or two in the evening. Long-term lack of sleep leads to grumpy, sensitive and suspicious. 165438+ 10 After returning to school in October, it was also a piece of cake, and finally overcame thousands of difficulties and finally landed. My unlucky postgraduate entrance examination experience proves that hard work may not be successful, but it will not be successful without hard work. Persistence is victory!
Advice and encouragement to classmates.
1, Jinan University didn't specify a textbook, because its original intention was not to have an assembly line answer. What it wants to see is a solid historical foundation and your unique personal understanding, but when preparing for the exam, we still need to have a set of teaching materials as the base, supplemented by other teaching materials, and establish our own knowledge system.
2. Although Jinan University didn't give the scope, it seems that everything has to be tested, but in fact, it is based on big questions and special questions that teachers have paid attention to in recent years, such as bamboo slips in Tsinghua. Teacher Xin Deyong often talks about her official WeChat account, such as Schleswig who was tested last year. This is the first chapter of teacher Luo Xin's book Wang Hua and Shan County, which mainly talks about the historical evolution of imperial academy, which was tested last year.
It is the content of the book Research on Ancient Bureaucratic Political System edited by Wu Zongguo.
3. When reading a paper, it is best to take detailed notes, such as which famous ideas come from which part, and mark the pages for reference or search when writing a paper in the future. After reading a chapter or a book, make a summary and draw a mind map. There are three or four books in my own notes, which I may forget after reading, but I will suddenly think of them when I take notes and organize my mind map. If you write with the help of God, it is very rewarding to have some new academic viewpoints or the research results of Jinan University teachers when answering questions. Some important works can be reviewed directly if you don't have time to finish reading them. Just summarize the main points mentioned.
You need to submit a history paper before the second interview. This should be prepared in advance, which is of great significance and will affect the teacher's impression of you. So the paper should be polished more.
5. Generally speaking, Chen Yinque, Tian Yuqing and Zhu Zongbin are required readings, and Wu Zongguo's Research on Ancient Bureaucratic Political System must be read thoroughly to know the origin of each system, because Jinan University attaches great importance to the history of the system and has exams almost every year.
