First, about choosing schools and majors.

About choosing schools and majors

I applied for a master's degree in public health from Sun Yat-sen University, and applied for epidemiology and health statistics. As for the major, because it is a preventive medicine major, I didn't plan to cross the major when I took the postgraduate entrance examination, so I took the postgraduate entrance examination for public health. Regarding the choice of schools, we should first consider regional factors. Tianjin is close to my hometown. Secondly, Tian Yue is the only medical college, 2 1 1. The comprehensive strength of the school is still good. Finally, Tian Yue Gong Wei's academic strength is not bad. After comprehensive analysis, Tian Yue Gong Wei was chosen.

As for the Master of Public Health in Sun Yat-sen University, the difficulty is moderate from the score line. Generally, it takes about 380+ to be safe, and other majors need about 340+ to be safe. The examination subjects of specialized courses are: health statistics (eighth edition, edited by Li Xiaosong), epidemiology (eighth edition, edited by Li Liming), nutrition and video hygiene (eighth edition).

Second, the initial experience sharing

Check the timeline schedule

(1) English: English learning is a long-term accumulation process, so we must stick to it!

English: English is a basic course. Professional courses determine which school you go to for graduate school, and English determines whether you go to graduate school or not. There are many people who can't pass the English line every year. English should be started as soon as possible. I have been reading English since I decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, which should be around March. First, I recite words. I like paper books, so I bought 1575. Personally, I feel that this book is very thin and easy to take. There is no shortcut to memorizing words, only by repetition. Words are like strangers, just be familiar with them. You don't have to remember all its signs (all the meanings of words), but to remember its main signs, it is usually enough to recite one or two Chinese definitions for a word, but some special words need to remember more definitions. Generally, I watch 2-3 units every day, one unit is new content, and the rest is review, one round at a time. It is enough to buy a word book, not more. Choose one, stick to it and never give up. After the summer vacation began, I gradually felt that time was not enough, so I recited words and went online. I use this software to remember words. I read the words accumulated in a real question for three to five minutes every day while waiting for dinner in the canteen. I read words for more than ten or twenty minutes every day, and basically spend about 20 minutes on words every day.

If you study, you must first lay a good foundation. I watched the video explaining long and difficult sentences and teaching reading methods twice, and I have been doing real questions all the time. Reading doesn't care about the number of times you brush the questions, you must brush them accurately. Some people can get high marks even if they do it once, so you don't have to panic if you brush slowly. The premise is that you must be serious and can't stop reading. You've been doing it since the comment. Keep your hands feeling at least once a day.

If you haven't read the grammar, you can choose according to your own needs. You must prepare your own template for your composition, and you must write a general template for one or two big compositions. Don't worry, you won't need it then. As long as you can compare the real questions in previous years, you will definitely use them in the exam. Unless you are a great writer, most people's big compositions in the examination room are templates.

general layout

From July to 65438+February, recite words and brush real questions all the time;

10 month, join the training on other issues;

1 1 month, composition recitation;

65438+February, the real question simulation test.

(B) learning methods-politics

I have been following xu teacher politically. Personally, I don't need to start politics too early. I started watching politics in the summer vacation, watched a video every day, and then did an exercise. When watching videos, I like to mark what the teacher says in the book, including some examples that the teacher sometimes quotes, so that if you don't understand later, you can turn to the book directly without looking for videos. The first time you watch a video, you must be very careful and understand everything thoroughly. Sometimes I take notes whenever I watch videos. If I have time, I will try to watch the video and close the book, and recall what the teacher said in this class. After the political foundation is laid, I don't have to come back to brush videos after school starts, saving a lot of time.

The exercise book uses an excellent question bank. Note that you must leave the textbook when doing exercises, and you cannot do them at the same time. First, it will help you find out what you don't understand in class. Second, the wrong questions will be marked in red, and it is more labor-saving to review only the wrong questions in the later period. Leg sister's forecast volume can also be seen. Because time was tight, I only watched part of it later. In the later period of politics, I only gave multiple-choice questions to Grade Eight, but I didn't read the big questions. I don't think it has much impact. I recited Xiao Si's big question four times, but I don't have to keep the change after the exam. Three times is enough.

In August, I began to watch the video lessons of the intensive classes in Xu Tao. While watching the video, do the corresponding small 1000 questions. After reading the course, read Xiao Xiurong's summary of knowledge points every day and brush Xiao 1000 questions. Multiple-choice questions have done all the multiple-choice questions in the market, and all the big questions should be thoroughly understood and considered from all angles. It is enough to do these questions.

In June 65438+February, I began to recite big questions, focusing on Xiao Si.

Overall time planning:

7- 10 months

1. Laying the foundation: Xu Tao's video intensive reading class is combined with the core exam cases.

2. Lay a solid foundation: Xiao Xiurong speaks concisely and cooperates with Xiao Xiurong's 1000 question (it is recommended to brush it twice).

3. Strengthen promotion: video class of leg sister skill class as promotion.

1 1 month

1. Form a framework: Teacher Xu Tao sprints to recite the manual.

2. Selection experience: the third brush of Ma Yuan 1000.

3. Deepen memory: Grade 8 comes out to brush multiple-choice questions (brush twice is recommended).

4. Rapid promotion: brush the multiple-choice part of the composition that can be seen in the market.

65438+ February

1. Cyclic memory: Review the sprint recitation manual again.

2. The big question is crazy: Xiao Siyi recited the subjective question and recited ten pages of teacher Zhang Xiuqi's template as soon as he got it.

3. Deepen memory: Xiao Si multiple-choice questions (it is recommended to brush it three times)

(3) Specialized courses

The examination content of public health major in Sun Yat-sen University is noun explanation, short answer and discussion. If you want to get high marks in specialized courses, you must recite them. I use the little red book of the Institute of Public Health. I have to lay a good foundation and pay attention to understanding in the early stage of epidemiology and statistics. I didn't have a round of review of the three major health problems, so I started to recite them directly, which actually saved a lot of time, because there was basically nothing to understand about the three major health problems. Reciting is actually a test of mentality. You will find that what you recited yesterday has been completely forgotten today, and you have no impression at all. In fact, everyone is like this. As long as you adjust your mentality, don't spend too much time on feelings, and really put your time into reciting, you will definitely recite it.

Personally, recitation is like a gradual process. The first and second times are the most difficult and time-consuming. By the third time, you will find that everything you have recited in front is a little impressive. By the fourth time, you will find that some content can be recited anytime and anywhere, and one content can be related to other knowledge points. By the fifth time, it was very easy, and a book was quickly finished. Basically, it is no problem to recite a book a day, which is equivalent to 6-9 hours. If there are difficulties in the review process of postgraduate courses, you might as well sign up for a tutorial class, such as the one-on-one private VIP tutorial course of Xinxiangxu Postgraduate Entrance Examination, which is highly targeted, flexible in class time and free to answer questions after class, which is very helpful for the preparation for the first postgraduate entrance examination.

The review of specialized courses began in March. At first, I only read two books on epidemiology and statistics. In the summer vacation, I began to recite these two books. Later, according to the progress, I slowly recited them together with the three major hygiene. Almost every book has to be recited about five times before the exam.

1, methodology discipline (epidemiology, statistics, etc. )-pay attention to understanding.

1) Do a good job in intensive reading of the previous textbooks, and mark the parts that you don't know. It is suggested to use three different colors of pens as markers to distinguish the key, familiar and skimmed parts.

2) Watch the video course carefully and answer questions. I followed the basic course of the Institute of Public Health and the statistical video class of Teacher Zhao Naiqing in the mile, so I had to listen attentively in class and take notes in the book.

3) Sort out the mind map, construct the framework of teaching materials, and deeply understand memory. Mind mapping can help students understand textbooks better. I strongly recommend it to you. You don't have to pursue beauty and complexity, as long as it is simple and easy to understand.

4) Pay attention to understanding in the early stage, and then start reciting memories in the later stage. It is not recommended that you start reciting directly in the early stage, but focus on the understanding of the textbook, because you will find that the content recited in the early stage is actually forgotten later, which is very inefficient. We didn't start to do the shallow back of the frame until September. There is enough time, so you don't have to worry. If it is difficult to review the postgraduate entrance examination, you may wish to sign up for a remedial class, such as a one-on-one private VIP remedial class for the postgraduate entrance examination, which is highly targeted, flexible in class time and free to answer questions after class. It is very helpful to the preparation for postgraduate entrance examination and re-examination.

2, memory discipline (three health, social medicine, etc. )-pay attention to reciting.

1) Read the textbook in the early stage and add corresponding knowledge points to the book. In the meantime, everyone should learn to read the book thick, that is, to add content to the teaching material, to ensure a thorough understanding of all aspects of knowledge points, to dig deep and to cover a wide range.

2) Sort out the mind map and build a framework. Like tradition, memory discipline also needs to establish a mind map framework to help you understand what the whole book is talking about.

3) Summarize and compare the same knowledge points, and deepen the memory in the form of tables. It is strongly recommended that you organize the knowledge points of acacia into a table for comparative memory, such as the knowledge points of various vitamins of nutrition.

4) concentrate on reciting in the later stage and repeat it constantly. Don't worry about memorizing the three major health and social medicine. It is recommended to start after three rounds of review.

Third, the adjustment process.

A volunteer master did not enter the second interview because of his poor English, and because he was unwilling, he applied for a master's degree in the same teaching and research section. After applying, he contacted his favorite tutor. During the second interview, I prepared a self-introduction in Chinese and English (self-introduction, undergraduate review, internship experience, future planning, thanks) and the main problems of experiments and professional courses I did during my college years. I performed well in front of the camera and landed smoothly. Adjustment is also a tortuous process. I hope you will cast a wide net, never give up any opportunity, pay attention to official website, your favorite school, and go ashore to your ideal school! ! !

Fourth, the second interview experience

1. Basic information

First, the proportion and number of second-round interviews.

The re-examination ratio is generally higher than 1: 1.2, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific situation.

Second, the retest score and time.

* * * The scores of full-time and part-time public health students are the same, and the scores of health students are the same. The retest scores are generally announced a few days after the announcement of the national line. Due to the epidemic situation, in recent years, re-examinations have been conducted online, with only interviews and no written test content.

2. The content, proposition, difficulty and characteristics of the second interview

First, the content and proposition of the second interview.

The second interview is mainly divided into three parts: self-introduction, abstract questions and answers, and free questions. Self-introduction suggests that you prepare Chinese and English versions of 1, 2 and 3min respectively, and you may be asked. The topic is divided into two parts: English topic and professional topic, both of which are English topics and will be projected in the form of word. * * * There is about 5 minutes of preparation time, and professional questions can be answered in Chinese. Free questioning involves the extension of professional courses and personal basic situation.

Second, the difficulty and characteristics of the second interview.

The second interview pays more attention to oral English ability and language logical organization ability, and the topic focuses on comprehensive thinking. There are many case analysis questions in professional courses, and the overall difficulty is moderate. I suggest that you start practicing your oral English immediately after the initial test, and listen more and recite more. A fluent and authentic oral English will definitely add luster to you. Moreover, you can't relax in professional courses. Go to the website to learn more about the hot issues of this major, which may be mentioned in the second interview.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) encourages and suggests.

1. Stable mentality, courage and confidence

Postgraduate entrance examination is a long struggle, and it is particularly important to balance the mentality. This road will not be smooth sailing, and it is normal to experience hardships, so you must learn to adjust your emotions. Exercise, shouting and relaxation are all good choices. Besides, you must believe in yourself. On the day I set foot in the examination room, at least five of the 30 people in the same examination room missed the exam, so you persisted until the end and won half the victory.

Health is the capital of revolution.

You must not give up exercise during the postgraduate entrance examination. A solid body is the backbone of all work. Because you are sedentary, tired and anxious, the postgraduate entrance examination may bring many health problems, which will affect your efficiency and effectiveness, so it is also essential to drink more water and exercise frequently.

3. Find a learning method that suits you.

Be sure to sum up your own learning experience, find a suitable learning method, and don't blindly follow the footsteps of others. It is recommended to arrange your daily plan and list your priorities, and complete the tasks assigned to you step by step. I believe you will get a good ending!

I hope that along the way, you can embrace sweat and joy, you can get flowers and applause, and you can see the best tomorrow! I hope we can meet in Shanghai!
