If you want to do research, it is the former. If you want to work, you can't do it without working.

2. What exam do I need to prepare for now?

3. Learning psychology is all about realizing dreams, but is it difficult to cross majors? What do you need to prepare?

It depends on what kind of university you want to enter. Is it 985 or 2 1 1, or two ordinary books! ! There are 108 schools in China with psychology graduate students, most of whom have passed the unified examination. Cross-major has little effect on the exam. Even if you take this major, you can't take it if you don't study or study! !

Now half of the students take psychological tests across disciplines every year. There is no limit, and cross-disciplinary exams are easier for them. As long as you work hard, besides, interest is the best teacher and learning English is advantageous. Many teachers also like to learn English, and can help them read many English original works ~ Puxin 100 Development+Education 70 Statistics+Measurement 70 Experiment 60, National Unified Examination. Not necessarily if the exam is not unified.

Grade one: These schools are the top psychology majors in China, including Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Normal University, Peking University and Zhejiang University. If you think you have enough confidence, perseverance and ability to take the postgraduate entrance examination, these schools are highly recommended. However, because these places represent the highest level in China, the test questions or contents are wide or difficult, so those who are not confident should consider them carefully! In addition to these schools, there are two normal colleges directly under the Ministry of Education: East China Normal University and Southwest Normal University.

If you can enter any of the above schools, it is undoubtedly the best choice for further study, academic research or employment in the future.

Grade two: If you pay great attention to the brand of the school and look at the poor professional quality, you may wish to consider the following schools:

(1) Shanghai Jiaotong University: The psychology of this school requires taking math, and the other major course is management or computer, which has great advantages for interdisciplinary students of these two majors.

(2) Wuhan University: Psychology is enrolled in the School of Philosophy and the School of Politics and Public Administration respectively. The advantage of this school is that it does not test psychological statistics and measurement and experimental psychology, but general psychology and pedagogy, which is advantageous for students with basic knowledge of pedagogy or bias.

(3) Huazhong University of Science and Technology: All three universities have psychology majors, and there are few books, and this school provides professional course outlines and history test questions, so the review is more targeted.

(4) Jilin University: The School of Philosophy and Social Sciences enrolls two majors, basic psychology and applied psychology, with three initial tests.

(5) Sun Yat-sen University: The College of Education enrolls two majors: basic and applied. In addition, it is one of the earliest schools in China to carry out psychological research, with a famous professor Yang presiding over the teaching.

(6) Nankai University: Recruit applied psychology in Zhou Enlai Government School of Management.

(7) Sichuan University: Its psychoanalytic research is quite famous in China.

The brands of the above schools are very famous, but they are slightly worse than the above schools in terms of professionalism, but they all have their own characteristics.

The third level: some normal universities with advanced psychological development in China: Huazhong Normal University, South China Normal University, Capital Normal University, Nanjing Normal University, Northeast Normal University, Shandong Normal University, Shanghai Normal University, Shaanxi Normal University, Tianjin Normal University, Zhejiang Normal University, etc. Among them, psychology in Central China and South China has developed rapidly in recent years, with a large number of students enrolled, and has established its own psychological college or department. Capital Normal University has a natural geographical advantage and is close to academic highlands such as Beijing Normal University and Peking University, so it also has its own unique development characteristics. Nanjing Normal University is famous for its research on the history of China's psychology. Over the years, Shaanxi Normal University has tested some objective questions, which may be relatively easy to answer. Tianjin Normal University has Professor Shen Deli; Shandong normal university is also a rising star, and it is all at public expense; There are only two books in Shanghai Normal University and Zhejiang Normal University, which are relatively easy to prepare. In addition, there are two comprehensive universities with relatively developed psychology: Suzhou University and Jinan University, both of which are 2 1 1 engineering schools with relatively developed psychology, and both of which are located in two golden areas of domestic economic development, so the work prospects are very promising and the treatment is quite good.

Fourth grade: Because there are many students who apply for psychology across schools and majors, many people may not want to blindly squeeze famous brands and majors, so there are several schools you can consider: China University of Political Science and Law, China Communication University, China Geo University, Beijing Sport University and Wuhan Institute of Physical Education. These schools may not be as popular as those above, but from the perspective of psychological development, they all have their own new points. For example, the research on criminal psychology and judicial psychology in China, and the research on safety psychology in China Media and communication psychology of China Geo University are all very new, so if you don't want to be overwhelmed by application, development and education, you can consider these schools. In addition, we all know that besides physical condition, a good mental state is also an indispensable factor to win the game. Therefore, with the coming of the 2008 Olympic Games, the research on sports psychology of Beiti Wushu will have a broad application space.

My English is very poor, and now it's almost like learning from scratch. I don't know how to prepare

After graduating from college, you can get about 40 points in English no matter how bad it is. Generally, the national line of English single subject fluctuates around 60 points, and the gap of 20 points that you strive to improve is enough.

5. What else should we pay special attention to?

First of all, to comfort you.

The application conditions of psychology graduate students are not strict, and there are many successful examples of interdisciplinary psychology graduate students. Beijing Normal University, East China Normal University, Tianjin Normal University and South China Normal University are all outstanding in the field of psychology in China. Tianjin Normal University focuses on experimental psychology, South China Normal University focuses on developmental psychology, and East China and Beijing Normal University are more comprehensive. Jinan University focuses on management psychology, while Liaoning Normal University focuses on educational psychology. Which direction do you want to take the exam? You must be mentally aware of this first, and then make adjustments.

Secondly, the examination content is clear.

The content of psychology postgraduate entrance examination does not include numbers, but only politics, English and psychology. The subjects of the initial entrance examination for graduate students majoring in psychology include four parts and six subjects. They are: general psychology, developmental and educational psychology, experimental psychology, psychological statistics and measurement. Among them, general psychology is more difficult than experiment, statistics and measurement, but as long as you study hard and accumulate early, it is not too difficult. You should be clear about the content of the exam.

Again, do you really like it?

When I first started to apply for the undergraduate major in psychology, it was also out of interest, and most of my classmates were like this. But later you will find that you want students to study science, anatomy, brain science, experiment, statistics and SPSS, which many non-professional students don't know. If you are just attracted by mystery, or want to know more about yourself or others, your motivation is not too strong, and you will not be too motivated to learn later.

Finally, the problem of psychological work.

Psychology is not accepted by most people in China. Everyone says that they need to see a psychiatrist, which is very stressful, but not many people really want to spend one or two hours a week and 300-500 yuan for psychological consultation. Moreover, I want to do psychological counseling, not to follow the masters, but also to report to various international psychological training classes, which is very expensive. For young people who have just entered the society and need to repay their families, it will also be a kind of pressure to participate in training and invest in themselves at this time.
