At the time of writing these words, nearly two months have passed since 20021National Postgraduate Entrance Examination. Looking back on this year, negative emotions such as study, confusion, panic, tension and anxiety "tortured" me in turn or in a mixed way; At the same time, constant support, encouragement, self-comfort, and more or less self-confidence, happiness and sense of accomplishment that accompanied the preparation for the exam made me finally persist. At this moment, what I feel inside is not the emptiness after the exam, but more gratitude and encouragement. Thanks to the support of my parents, the guidance and encouragement of my teachers, the knowledge I have learned, the learning methods and the habits I have gradually formed in the long preparation process, which will always inspire my future life.
I am a cross-examination psychology student, majoring in pharmacy in two universities. Out of my interest and love for psychology, I finally chose to apply for graduate students in psychology. For my classmates in this situation: those who cross the exam, those who don't, those who take two or three college entrance examinations, and of course, many students who are interested in taking the postgraduate entrance examination in psychology. If you are confused or confused about the postgraduate entrance examination, such as choosing a school, preparing for exams, reviewing materials, etc. I will write about my experience in preparing for the exam for nearly a year, including the skills and methods in the learning process, and
First, choose the beginning and end of questioning.
I don't know how many students are in the same situation as me: during my college years, I found in hindsight that my chosen major needed to learn a lot of knowledge that I didn't like very much, so I just perfunctory to cope with my studies ... When I recovered from this numbness, it was already the last semester of my junior year, and I wanted to change my situation and improve myself through postgraduate entrance examination.
Everything a person has experienced in the past constitutes a person. This sentence means that it is extremely difficult for a person to make changes in his daily addiction, and the life he is used to will become his biggest obstacle. This is what I learned later.
At that time, I was preparing for the postgraduate examination of this major. During the period, I browsed all kinds of experience posts, prepared dry goods posts, joined various research groups, contacted seniors and sisters who had already landed, and purchased learning materials online. Everything is well prepared, but it is difficult to know the steps until you really review them.
First of all, as I said before, my living habits have seriously affected my study. To be exact, I seem to have lost my ability to learn. When I go to the study room to review early every day like others, and wait for the library to close before returning to the dormitory like others, I learn very little at the end of the day, sometimes I will be in a daze when reading, and time will slip away quickly; Sometimes the attention is not very concentrated, and a knowledge point has to be read many times before it can be recorded.
Secondly, preparing for the exam is a long process, and my laziness will often appear. After a period of review (regardless of the effect), I will feel very tired and want to have a rest or go out to play, but I still let go.
Finally, I think it is also the most important. I don't like my major. When I first started my undergraduate study, I felt that organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry were not very attractive to me, so I had no sense of accomplishment in the review process, and then I would avoid studying professional courses. Sometimes I will study English and politics all day, and I won't have a short professional class until evening. So I often question the significance of my postgraduate entrance examination. I will think: will I be happy even if I finally land? Will I like these courses? Do I really want to go in this direction? These questions often haunt my mind. But I don't know how to solve these problems.
My cross-examination psychological idea is to start school in senior one. As we all know, psychology itself has its unique mysterious charm, which will naturally attract people to understand it. During my undergraduate course, I read books related to psychology, such as Freud's Interpretation of Dreams, and I also browsed a lot of knowledge about psychological common sense on the Internet. These knowledge have more or less positive significance for my life and planted the fire of psychology. Therefore,
However, I am still quite "rational" to continue my professional postgraduate entrance examination process. After all, after reviewing for several months, it is obviously not advisable to change majors now. In the end, I have finished the postgraduate examination for 20 years. The results came out in February of the following year, which was unexpected, and then I started the cross-examination journey directly.
First, about choosing schools and majors
First of all, it should be clear that psychology has gradually become a popular major in postgraduate entrance examination, and in recent years it has gradually jumped to the top of the "largest major in postgraduate entrance examination papers". Therefore, before choosing psychology for postgraduate entrance examination, we must first find out why we want to study this major. Psychology is not micro-expression, learn how to see through what a person is thinking, or classify personality or psychological tests; Psychology is a science, and it needs constant experiments and measurements to get a theory that can describe, explain, predict and control individual psychology and behavior. Many candidates choose rashly without knowing their psychology. After entering school, they find that the content is completely different from what they imagined, which will lead to more confusion and pain.
Next, introduce the recruitment situation of Suzhou University. Suzhou University is one of the first universities selected by the national "2 1 1 Project", with beautiful campus environment and strong psychological specialty, so the number of applicants is increasing every year, and the enrollment ratio is about 20: 1. However, compared with other universities, Suzhou University has a large number of students enrolled in applied psychology, which is above 35+ every year, with 55 students enrolled in 2/kloc-0 and 49 students enrolled in 22 years. Moreover, the re-examination score of Suzhou University is relatively low, with the lowest score of 355 in 22 years and 337 in 2 1 year, which is directly the national line. Overall, the difficulty is moderate.
Second, the initial experience.
(1) Politics
The main means of political review is to watch video lessons to learn knowledge points, brush simulation questions to consolidate knowledge points and recite subjective big questions. I personally recommend Xu Tao's reinforcements.
Xiao Xiurong's One Thousand Questions and Xiao Sixiao's Eight Questions.
Leg sister's skill class and recitation manual
I divide the review of politics into two stages. The first stage is from August to 1 1 month, mainly by watching intensive reading courses to build a knowledge framework and clarify knowledge points. If you have studied the politics of the college entrance examination, you can watch it selectively. At the same time, with a large number of brush questions, enrich your own question bank and make the knowledge points more comprehensive. The second stage is 1 1 month before the exam. At this time, Xiao Si Xiao's essay before the exam has been published. You need to start reciting subjective questions and make sure you have mastered all the multiple-choice questions.
(2) English
The difficulty of English for postgraduate entrance examination is between CET-4 and CET-6, and the difficulty of English 2 is slightly lower than that of English 1. English review strategies are relatively complicated, because everyone's English foundation is different, so the efforts and efforts needed in English will be different. English review can be divided into three modules: word, reading and writing.
First of all, words are the most important in English learning. Only by understanding words can we understand reading and improve the correct rate of doing problems. And the words need to be memorized from the first day of preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination to the last day before the exam. You can choose a paper word book or a mobile app, punch in your cards every day, and set goals for yourself, such as memorizing 200 words every day, so as to accumulate.
Then there is the reading section. I personally suggest that candidates choose different review methods according to their English level. Candidates with poor English foundation can start with the analysis of long and difficult sentences and the training of reading skills, and follow the teacher; Candidates with a good English foundation can start with real questions, analyze and train.
Finally, write. English writing for postgraduate entrance examination is divided into two parts: big composition and small composition. The small composition is mainly about writing letters. It is suggested to memorize templates of various letters in advance, while large compositions can accumulate and memorize relevant structures and expressions in advance and organize them into their own unique templates. Then through the simulation of real questions, I am constantly familiar with the template, and finally I can use it skillfully. ?

2.？ Types of exam questions
Master's degree in applied psychology in Suzhou University is all subjective questions, and there are no objective questions, with a score of ***300. The questions include noun explanation, short answer, discussion, case analysis and experimental design. The specific score distribution of each question type is as follows: noun explanation 6 questions *5=30 points; Answer 8 questions briefly * 10=30 points: essay 5 questions *20= 100 points; Case analysis question 2 *30=60 points Experimental design question: 1 question *30=30 points.
Generally speaking, the topics of Su Da are not difficult, mainly focusing on memorizing and reciting knowledge points, but the topics such as case analysis and experimental design need more thinking ability to apply knowledge points to practice. It is worth noting that in recent years, SUDA's topic background is closer to current events, and more cases should be analyzed and summarized in the review process.
3.？ Review planning
The review of specialized courses can be divided into three stages: basic stage, intensive stage and sprint stage.
(1) Basic stage: March-June
In the basic stage, the main task is to be familiar with books, read the textbooks carefully, fully understand the basic knowledge points, and establish the knowledge framework of each chapter. It is required to point out the specific position of a knowledge point in the original textbook and tell the general content.
(2) Strengthening stage: July-September
The main task is to further sort out the framework, further understand the important and difficult points in combination with video courses, and master the answering skills and templates of classic questions. If candidates are nervous in the later period, or have no confidence in their memory ability, they can try to recite memories from this stage. At the end of this stage, all the knowledge points are required to be repeated in their own words and illustrated with examples, so as to truly understand the knowledge points thoroughly.
(3) Sprint stage: 10-12.
The main review method in the sprint stage is to do real questions+repeat. Candidates need to use the real questions of previous years to further summarize the difficult and high-frequency test sites, conduct mock exams themselves, and be familiar with the test atmosphere. Before the initial test, candidates had better recite the knowledge points for more than four times, so as to know them by heart. If there are difficulties in the review process of the postgraduate entrance examination, you may wish to sign up for a remedial class, such as the one-on-one 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 preparing for the exam at the initial stage of the postgraduate entrance examination.
Three. Re-examination experience
The master of applied psychology of Suzhou University entered the re-examination for 22 years, with a minimum score of 355,62 people entering the re-examination, and finally 55 people were admitted. Generally speaking, the score is not high, and the elimination rate of the second interview is not high. However, it is worth noting that in previous years, Su University was given high marks (19, the first place in the initial test was not accepted in the end), so the re-examination should not be taken lightly.
The retest before 19 is divided into two parts: written test and interview. After 19, the written test was cancelled due to the epidemic, and the interview was changed to the whole network. The second interview is divided into three parts: foreign language interview, comprehensive quality interview and professional course interview. The final admission score consists of the direct addition of the initial test results and the retest results.
The content and examination questions of SUDA re-examination are very flexible, and it is basically impossible to predict in advance. In foreign language interview, there are questions about self-introduction, literature translation, life and psychology. The comprehensive quality interview has a wider scope, and it is possible to ask questions from personal experience to academic questions; The professional course exam adopts the form of random questions, and the candidates randomly choose multiple-choice questions and then answer them.
Candidates are advised to evaluate their scores after the initial test. If you have confidence in your grades, you can start reviewing, prepare some high-frequency test sites in previous years, write a self-introduction and contact your tutor.
Encouragement for classmates.
In fact, in the process of postgraduate entrance examination, choice is greater than effort, and mentality is greater than cleverness. Choose a major you really like and a school you like, and there will be a steady stream of motivation to encourage you to pay and invest; Keep a peaceful mind, the review efficiency will be higher and the preparation status will be more stable. Don't always compare with others, focus on your own progress, in order to avoid unnecessary anxiety.
Although the postgraduate entrance examination seems to be a long journey, in fact, when we really enter the state, we will find that time flies. Looking back, we are all standing on the other side. Gan Kun is undecided, you and I are both dark horses. I hope all the students who read this post can win the battle and get what they want!
