I. Preface to Postgraduate Entrance Examination

I am a 2 1 China Agricultural University candidate majoring in rural development, and I have just landed. The first test was 362, ranking fourth, the second test was ranked third, and the final comprehensive ranking was second. Among them, there are one specialized course 12 1 and one 142.

In fact, I was quite sure about this postgraduate entrance examination at first. First, because I have worked in the postgraduate entrance examination institution for two years, I think my understanding of postgraduate entrance examination and re-examination is advantageous. Secondly, my particularly good friend A is a major in China Normal University, and the information is very complete. At the same time, he can give me a lot of important guidance, saving time and improving efficiency. Third, although my English is poor, I have a strong ability in literature and synthesis. I think there should be no problem with professional courses and politics. But it was true, so I took it lightly and almost didn't pass the exam.

According to the situation in previous years, I set myself a goal of 320 to 330 points before the exam, and I feel that this score is very secure. However, I didn't expect that there were many people applying for the exam this year, and the exam was generally higher. The retest line is 322. Moreover, the final admission score is 60% in the initial test and 40% in the second test. If I follow the target score I set for myself, even if I am lucky enough to enter the second interview, the pressure will be particularly great. And once you brush the second interview, this road is really difficult to adjust. Fortunately, my friend told me from the beginning that I should set my goals higher and work hard.

Second, the postgraduate review plan

1, it is necessary to make time. Although I didn't leave my job until early July to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, I didn't have any classes or graduation thesis. In less than half a year, except for some trivial matters and occasional relaxation, I really spent all my time on the postgraduate entrance examination. I rent my own house and learn whatever I want. Students or candidates who have other things to do really need to review their time in advance according to their own situation. After all, there are too many things to learn.

2. There must be a plan. The plan includes master plan, monthly target, weekly target and daily target. The overall goal is: what is my goal total score and goal single subject score? How many times have I read, recited and brushed the exam subjects since I started studying the exam? . Then break down these tasks into how much to complete each month, which is the monthly goal. Then refine the tasks of the month to every week or every five days, every ten days, which is the weekly goal. Finally, when you start your daily study, decide what you should finish today. When setting a goal, we should pay attention to two points: First, we should try our best to fit the reality, otherwise it will be very frustrating if we can't finish it every time, and it will not be conducive to the goal to play its own incentive and promotion role. Second, the acceptance plan will be adjusted, optimized or interrupted at any time.

3. Politics

Politics is a headache for me, so I signed up for the postgraduate political remedial class. Most of them come with the postgraduate remedial classes. As for the remedial classes, I won't mention them. In the end, it was quite unpleasant (I came to the conclusion that there is absolutely no need to enroll in remedial classes in politics, and most of them are achieved by reading books. It is recommended to watch online classes). There is no need to review politics too early. On the one hand, politics is mainly a lot of memorization, and it is useless to recite it early. Secondly, politics is closely related to the dynamics of the country, so there will be great changes. The outline of the general political postgraduate entrance examination was published in the middle and early September, and it was too late to start preparing at this time. You can buy or not buy the postgraduate entrance examination outline. At that time, I didn't buy it, because the teachers in the political tutorial class would give out explanatory handouts.

At first, I applied for the basic class of postgraduate entrance examination in late August, which lasted for ten days, both in the morning and afternoon, and was basically a series of political points. Anyway, I listened carefully and I can't remember anything after listening. It's almost September after listening to the remedial class, so I spent two or three days sorting out the framework that the teacher of the remedial class asked me to arrange at that time (the construction of political framework is very important). In September, I began to dig out the handouts handed out by the summer class and read them from the beginning by myself, matching the 1000 question given by Xiao Xiurong.

In September, I began to turn over the handouts handed out by the summer class, and read them from the beginning by myself, in cooperation with the 1000 topic written by Xiao Xiurong (Xiao 1000 is a topic for one person). That is, when Xiao 1000 finished reading, that is, when I basically finished reading the handout (it should be1mid-October). However,/kloc-0 began to recite politics at the beginning of 0/0, and did not require his proficiency. I just read and write it down every day to cultivate my political thinking. The recitation work lasted from the beginning of 10 to the examination, and the recitation time continued to grow. 10 in mid-October, after I finished the small 1000, I did it for the second time. Of course, I only made mistakes, and tried to control the error rate below 10%. Wait until 1 1 month, when the wind is strong? This book has come out and I have to praise it. It is really an artifact of multiple-choice questions. I suggest you buy memories.

At that time, I would spend an hour watching the grass in the wind every day, which I thought was a good summary. In addition, I will attend political remedial classes from time to time. The teacher will circle some questions for us to recite after class. At this time, I usually copy it first and then recite it in the morning reading time. Of course, the more you remember, the better Don't think it's difficult and heavy. Just push it yourself. You can really recite a lot of things. From September to the end of 1 1 000, the error rate of Xiao 1000 has reached below 5%, and I have memorized everything that the teachers of the political basic class and the advanced class of the postgraduate entrance examination asked us to recite (of course, I still review what I recite irregularly, otherwise I will forget it after a long time). By 65438+February, small 8 Elementary 4 and various forecast volumes will be published one after another. I bought several kinds at that time, only small 8 Xiao 4 worked really hard. Teacher Xiao Xiurong has always been an authority on the politics of postgraduate entrance examination, so I suggest you pay attention to Xiao 8 Xiao 4, including many questions he won that year.

4. English

(1) Words:

Avoid the pit: don't recite the word book, don't recite the word book, don't recite the word book! Because you will find that you can't sit in that safe word book and go back and forth for a few days or the first few pages of words, but the word class is particularly interesting and will give you motivation to learn. Besides, do you really know the words you have memorized? Put it in the article or not. All you know is that article is an article. Do you know the meaning of the article? This is the word used to carry valuables with you in the American subway. Reciting words is for reading. In recent years, many articles have come from the foreign periodical Economist. How to get a high reading score without really understanding the authentic usage of these words?

Recommendation: strongly promote Mr. Youqugen's word class! Many people will find it useless to listen to word classes, but I want to say that listening to word classes is much more cost-effective than memorizing word books! Now in June and June-July, I listen to 45 minutes of word class every day, review the words of the day with scattered time, lay a good foundation of words in the early stage, and save a lot of time in reading and looking up words in the later stage, which will also greatly encourage my review status. The more English you learn, the more interesting it will be. Brother Gen will teach you how to memorize root affixes, which is much easier than trying to memorize them yourself. For example, if you know that accuracy is accurate, you will understand that inaccuracy is wrong, because in is a negative prefix. You will also know exactly, accurately, adverbs and parts of speech, which will directly lay the foundation for your gestalt. When I took the postgraduate entrance examination, I listened to Genge's Wanci class. The strange words in the real questions of the postgraduate entrance examination are simply the original words of Wanmagnetic class. Choose the answer directly without looking at the question!

(2) Long and difficult sentences:

Importance: How important are long and difficult sentences? There are five questions in an article, and more than 80% of the four questions are long and difficult sentences. Don't try to bypass long difficult sentences, long difficult sentences will cause problems!

Recommendation: Jing Tian, the teacher of New Oriental, is recommended. The details in long and difficult sentences are particularly clear. After learning the analytical method, he can analyze a few long and difficult sentences by himself and understand what the teacher said soon. It is important to learn analytical methods first, then listen to the teacher's analysis in class, and don't think about listening to the class first. Just like reading the answer first and then doing the problem, the effect is completely different!

(3) reading:

Importance: The reader wins the world, and the high score in English is 40.

Recommendation: Tang Chi's arhat class is highly recommended. Uncle Tang has changed from New Oriental to Youdao. Uncle Tang's unique reading logic class is particularly simple, which makes you feel like doing a math problem in primary school when you take the postgraduate entrance examination. But it is not recommended to buy uncle Tang's book. Thick books will increase the burden of review, and self-study is boring. All who can persist are gods. Lohan class will also add some small knowledge points that have not been entered in recent books. A thorough understanding of Lohan class will greatly improve your reading accuracy, so that you will no longer choose one of the two ambiguous options and often choose the wrong one.

Practice: It's too late to do reading in August. Don't pursue progress, find the rhythm that suits you best. When reading, don't block the time from the beginning. An article should be as comprehensible as you can. Underline uncommon words, and those that you can't remember clearly can be counted as uncommon words. Then look it up in the dictionary and read Ying Ying's explanation. There is a free Collins dictionary explained by Ying Ying, which will help you understand words more truly with the simplest words. You will find that after reading for two months, there will be no more than 20 new words. Add these 20 new words to the free word book of the app, brush them several times with the queuing time, and remember them quickly. After finishing the words, listen to Tang Shu's lecture on real questions and see how Tang Shu analyzes them. After that, the idea of doing the problem by yourself depends on Tang Shu. It is very important to train speed cards in the later stage, and the saved reading time can also improve the scores of writing and translation.

Gestalt: I strongly recommend Mr. Song Yixuan, who is my partner with Uncle Tang. She is the teacher I contacted in the later stage of postgraduate entrance examination. She likes it very much. Teacher Song's method teaches you to translate for one minute 10 for 3 minutes, and for two or three minutes for 4-5 minutes, which is very cost-effective! Others 20 minutes and 8 minutes, you 3 minutes and 5 minutes. Why don't you beat your competitors? It's still early to learn the perfect type, so you can put it away first.

(5) Translation writing:

Recommendation: Chen Qu, a famous teacher, is highly recommended. After Nigel's composition class, you definitely have something to say, even if the topic of the composition is very biased. And compared with the composition books on the market, there are really few things you need to recite. You only need to recite sentences, you don't need templates, and it will never be the same. Nigel is my favorite teacher with a strong sense of responsibility. Penguins with their own management share exclusive information about this topic. My compositions of CET-4 and CET-6 were all taken by Nigel, and I didn't give you any books on the market, only two or three categories. The scope is very small!

After listening to Nigel's basic class, you must start translating yourself. You can slow down, but be honest and elegant. After the translation, you will find the feeling after several articles. The key is to use your own brain to turn it over!

(6) New problems:

Recommendation: New questions and Uncle Tang, don't worry at all now! Tang Shu's 2 1 new topic course may arrive at 5438+00 in June, and only two classes are needed. It is easy to get new questions. The key is to master the method and get twice the result with half the effort. This is very cost-effective and takes up less review time. Be sure to get it!

5. Focus on specialized courses:

(1) There are three preliminary professional courses, the second edition of Modern Agricultural Economics, edited by Wang, the second edition of Introduction to Agriculture, edited by Zhai Huqu, the second edition of Management, and edited by Wednesday. The scores of these three books are probably Modern Agricultural Economics 180-200, Introduction to Agriculture 80- 100, and Management 20. In fact, the problem will not be absolutely equal to this score of each book, but modern agricultural classics must be the highlight. Then most of the essay topics in the past two years are about modern agriculture and the combination of economy and current politics.

(2) The distribution of questions is: 342 questions in the morning, and there are generally 5 noun explanation questions, each with 8 points. 4 short answer questions, each with 15 points. 2 essay questions, each with 50 points. 8 10 4 short answer questions in the afternoon, each 15 points. There are 3 essay questions, each with 30 points.

(3) You should score 70-80 points for specialized courses, and you can get it by looking at the back of the book. But if you want to get high marks, even regard it as a grading project. Then the basic knowledge must be solid, and the learning area should be wide. The skills of answering questions and writing on the blackboard must be used in the exam.

(4) At the beginning, I definitely reviewed Modern Agricultural Economics and Introduction to Agriculture. Before I began to formally review specialized courses, I read the real questions over the years several times to get a general idea of what the exam was like, and then I read the catalogue many times before I knew what these two books were about. Then I began to read the book formally. The first time I read it from beginning to end like a novel. The second time you watch it, focus on the key points. Because the book I got, the key points have been drawn in the last session, which is very time-saving and clear.

(5) After reading it, I bought a big notebook as an excerpt and copied the knowledge points in the book chapter by chapter. Explain nouns and copy the most important paragraphs and sentences directly. Others are copied in the form of short answers and big questions, which are divided into 1, 2, 3 and 4 points. One is to sort out the problems of the whole book by adding your own ideas to avoid being boring and unable to read. The second is to strengthen memory. Third, it is easy to repeat later.

(6) In the introduction to agriculture, there are many chapters that have nothing to do with the exam, so it is time-saving to draw them directly without reading them. Some chapters overlap with those in Modern Agricultural Classics, so I put them on the back of the corresponding excerpts from Modern Agricultural Classics. Easy to recite together. In addition, it also involves the typical agricultural regional profiles of several countries (such as Japanese agriculture, Dutch agriculture, Israeli agriculture, etc.). ) The general situation of agricultural areas in the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin can be sorted out by applying the same set of answer templates I made, which can be divided into four points: natural conditions, social conditions, agricultural production characteristics and development direction. Very easy to remember. And no matter what field you take the exam in, whether you are familiar with it or not, you can use this universal template to answer questions.

(7) In our major, the first and second exams in recent two years are closely related to current politics. In addition to paying attention to the rural revitalization strategy and the No.1 Document of the Central Committee, we should also look at the related official WeChat accounts, such as agricultural planning think tank and China Agricultural Economic Net.

I have recited these two books three times, at least three times. Many people have recited it four, five or six times. In the middle, I summed up a lot of answering skills, such as various types of so-called universal answers, or summary of leading keywords, summary of inferior keywords and so on. Then, combined with the foundation laid by my repeated reading and endorsement, as well as the direction indicated by various current affairs, I can answer some questions that I have never seen or will not encounter in the initial and second examinations. During the exam, many questions can't find the original questions and answers in the book at first sight, and rote memorization is definitely not acceptable.

I studied management late and didn't spend much time. There was a noun explanation problem in the last session, and there were two in this session. Because it was already1early February, I didn't want to spend too much time reading and memorizing. I just took the book that my friend took notes before and highlighted it. I read it several times, but I didn't recite it. Because I didn't calm down at that time, I understood what it meant, and then I left it alone. During the exam, use your own organized language combined with the skills of writing papers to answer questions. If the energy is limited, it is enough for the management to explain and understand the terms. You don't need to recite, and you don't need to spend a lot of time. Many things in it can't be tested at first glance.

Third, the second interview

After entering the interview session, you can see the professional re-examination books in official website. Professional re-examination is divided into written examination and interview, and the written examination is all pure theoretical knowledge. I spend about 4 hours every day, carefully reviewing and memorizing the main knowledge points and other details. Be sure to pay attention to learning efficiency, because time is tight and there are many things to remember.

English interview:

English re-examination takes the form of oral examination. Although I passed the TEM-8 exam, I forgot most of it for a long time after graduation. I recited an English self-introduction in advance, found a template online, and made some changes in combination with the selected school. Because spoken English is unfamiliar, I downloaded a common spoken English for postgraduate entrance examination and re-examination online, read more and remember more, so as to restore my sense of language.

Professional interview:

Regarding the professional interview, according to the major of agricultural engineering and information technology that I applied for, I searched online for hot topics related to major reforms, such as rural e-commerce, agricultural technology 1 10, etc. Read more papers and news in this field and let me have something to say during the interview. I have always been a teacher, and I won't get stage fright during the interview, as long as I keep talking and stay on topic.

Fourth, summary.

Young graduate students, maybe you are very tired and bitter now. From time to time, when I recite, I will be so sad that I will cry when I can't do the problem. You want to end these days quickly and get rid of the days of studying to death and living. But it may be hard for you to believe that some people will miss this time in the last few days of postgraduate entrance examination, hoping that the days will pass slowly, staying in the classroom to review, and hoping that the day of the exam will never come; There are also many people who go ashore for postgraduate study and want to go back to that time. I want to find my pure self when I took the postgraduate entrance examination. I am one of them.

I want to say to you, while you are still on the way to the postgraduate entrance examination, please cherish the best time of your youth and cherish the best and hardest-working yourself during this time. Come on!
