I am studying law at grade 20 19, and I took the law examination and postgraduate entrance examination on 202/kloc-0, and both passed; The postgraduate entrance examination is aimed at the litigation law major of Shandong University, with a total score of 385, including politics 78, English 69, 1 (a comprehensive course of law), 1 14, and litigation law 124, ranking third in the initial test.
However, both the postgraduate entrance examination and the second interview were eliminated. Fortunately, he had the opportunity to adjust at school and finally studied at Shandong University Law School.
First, about choosing schools.
Choosing a school is the first problem that graduate students face. Undoubtedly, the postgraduate entrance examination is very risky. The so-called risk is that the initial test results are not ideal, or the second test results are not ideal, so they transfer to other majors or other schools. The situation this year is that some majors in many schools have reduced enrollment due to the increase of candidates for postgraduate entrance examination, the number of postgraduate places has decreased, and the requirements for adjustment have increased. In addition, due to the reasons of the school, major, region itself, and uncontrollable factors beyond personal ability, risks may increase. So when choosing a school, it is very important to choose the right school. Of course, there is no lack of courage to rush and give yourself a chance to surpass yourself.
In order to avoid the risk of postgraduate entrance examination, in addition to the considerations of region, school and major mentioned in the online hot posts, I would like to remind all students to pay attention to the enrollment quota, the way of postgraduate entrance examination and re-examination and even the admission habits of professional teachers. Every link of the initial test and the second test may affect whether your efforts for one year can be rewarded accordingly. Just because you get a high grade in the initial test and have a good school doesn't mean you will have the last laugh. You'd better be careful. For the actual situation of school enrollment, you can consult the seniors and sisters of Chinese and Italian schools and majors.
Second, about the specific preparation experience of each subject of postgraduate entrance examination
(1) time
I started preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination in March last year, because I had to prepare for the judicial examination at the same time, so the time started earlier. Specifically, preparation for English and judicial examinations began in March, and preparation for politics and two postgraduate courses began at the end of 10. Many hot posts on the internet will mention the suggestions on the agenda, which can be adjusted according to your own situation.
This involves a question, that is, for students majoring in law, whether the postgraduate entrance examination and the judicial examination can be conducted at the same time. The following factors need to be considered here.
First, learning content. There are some differences between the study contents of law examination and postgraduate entrance examination. The former is based on real questions and requires flexible use of knowledge in cases. The latter focuses on theory and emphasizes the systematic mastery of theory, but the content of investigation in different schools is different. Therefore, you can make a choice by observing the characteristics of the questions in the postgraduate entrance examination: if the scope of the questions you apply for (34 schools with independent propositions) is very broad and flexible, the questions jump, or there is no designated teaching material, it is recommended to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination together with the French exam. Reviewing the French exam can help us build a complete legal knowledge framework and strengthen our understanding of the theory by doing problems, so that we can review the French exam before the postgraduate entrance examination. When reviewing the French exam, we should focus on consolidating the theoretical framework, reducing the burden of preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, ensuring the integrity of the review content, changing our thinking when taking the postgraduate entrance examination, systematizing the theoretical knowledge and laying out the knowledge network on the basis of the knowledge of the French exam. On the other hand, if the school you apply for is not an independent proposition, or an independent proposition, the topic is standardized, there is a specific bibliography and scope of investigation, and most of the answers can be found in books, then you can choose to prepare only for the postgraduate entrance examination, or prepare for the French exam and the postgraduate entrance examination at the same time. For example, the law postgraduate entrance examination of Shandong University does not specify a bibliography. In previous years, the comprehensive course examination was not clear about the scope of the topic, and the professional course was flexible, so the answer could not be found on the Internet or in books. In this case, carefully reviewing the law exam and consolidating the basic knowledge by taking advantage of the law exam will help to reduce the burden of preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and reduce the review amount of later knowledge.
Second, the schedule and preparation pressure. Preparing for the French exam and postgraduate entrance examination at the same time is bound to be more urgent and time-consuming than preparing for either one, but both options have success or failure cases. If the time is properly arranged and the individual is persistent, you can try to take care of both.
The above two considerations are very important, but many law students only see the second point and ignore the first point when choosing, so their views are not comprehensive, so remind them.
(2) English
First of all, the positioning should be accurate. English for postgraduate entrance examination is exam-oriented, including the meaning of words, the way of setting questions, the design of answers and so on. It's all regular, so it's enough to know it in detail.
About words. You can recite a word book several times in the early stage to know how many meanings a word has. When you do the real questions later, pay attention to the exact meaning of the words in the real questions and understand and remember them in combination with the context. In the real questions of postgraduate entrance examination, the meaning of words is fixed. Therefore, memorizing words in the early stage is basic and broad, while memorizing words in the later stage is accurate and corresponding. You can set up a word book by yourself, and it is very effective to write down the strange words that appear in the real questions and concentrate your memory. Memorizing words needs to be done every day until the exam. Recommendation: Love has words.
About long and difficult sentences. Don't worry too much about grammar, as long as you can figure out the sentence structure. At the beginning of reading, you can concentrate on finding some long and difficult sentences in real questions to decompose, practice a certain amount every day, and you can master the decomposition method of long and difficult sentences in a few days.
About reading comprehension. The real question is very important, and it is very important to grasp the law of the question. The number of real questions is small. I made Zhang Jian's yellow book, which was recommended by others. The themes come from newspapers, such as The Economist and Nature. The style is similar to the real question, but the style is similar and obscure.
Its advantage is to let you know the background environment of various social, scientific, political and other issues and adapt to the reading style. If the preparation time is earlier, you can try it. Personally, I started to do it at the end of March, and I finished it in two months. I didn't do it again. It should be noted that the yellow book can be omitted, but the real question must be taken seriously. Over the years, the style of real questions has been very uniform, and many people can get high marks only by doing real questions. The real problem may have to be done back and forth several times, but don't pursue the speed and times of doing it too much. Mastering reading methods is the key. In this regard, I watched Tang Chi's video. Students who read slowly, have a vague understanding of the meaning of the article or can't find the reading rules can try. But at the same time, it should be clear that reading skills and methods only help you understand the article more easily. The skills are absolutely correct, and there are exceptions to everything. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the words, long sentences and sentence relationships in the article to fully understand the article and help you answer questions skillfully.
Summarize some tips for reference.
Don't be preconceived, everything is subject to the real question. Making mistakes is really like being blind. Knowledge background may be helpful to you, but it may also be harmful if preconceived.
② Exclusion method. Option usually switches objects and uses words in the text. It seems that they are all mentioned, but there is a world of difference. The method is to find out the position of each option in the text, repeatedly try to figure out whether this is the place where the answer is in the text, and eliminate the wrong items one by one.
Emotional color is very important. In words, adjectives and adverbs indicate degree and nature; The number proposed in this paper, such as 30 fish, is not important in itself. What matters is the author's description of it, such as whether these quantities are too much or too little, whether they are surprises or disappointments.
4 turning words. However, how means the opposite (But but can also be used as a conjunction, and the table is juxtaposed before and after. I remember the real question only appeared twice in the year, which is the exception of methods and skills, so it is easy to do it here. ";" ":"means the same nature before and after, and the meaning is juxtaposed, so if you don't know the meaning of the previous sentence or the next sentence of the symbol, you can find out the meaning of the sentence by understanding the sentence on the other side of the symbol.
5 question and answer. Look at the questions first, and the order of the questions is distributed in the order of writing. In the question, you can directly mark which paragraph or locate which paragraph according to the information. The answer is generally not set across paragraphs, but there are exceptions. Generally, you can read a part and do a problem to avoid thinking being disturbed by the following, but it is not absolute.
⑥ "Title: Give the article a title. Generally speaking, look for keywords in the first sentence of each paragraph; The main body of the full text must appear in the correct options, and short-lived words cannot be used as titles.
⑦ When reading an idea, the article will mention it repeatedly, and there are many specific forms, such as: say it once and say it backwards; Say it again, for example; Say it again, quote what others said, say it again or say it again, and so on. In short, it is always emphasizing a certain point of view, and this is the problem.
Pay attention to the main body that often appears. For example, the relationship between Congress, the government and the Supreme Court (including justices), and the relationship and attitude between the federal government and state governments.
About cloze. Personally, cloze depends on the sense of language, there is no fixed routine, and there are many differences between words, so we can't dig them carefully. But some should also talk about logic and practice more.
About translation. If you have time, I suggest practicing the answers to the real questions. After all, knowing the meaning of that sentence really doesn't mean that it can be translated into a sentence that normal people can understand.
About composition. The goal of writing a composition is to write, write well, and have no problem, that is, recite and use. My method is: first, recite the composition of the real questions over the years according to the type, and the new questions can be transformed from the real questions over the years. The advantage of classified memory and writing is that the same type of writing is regular and it is easier to concentrate on memory. After reciting, you can find a new topic of the same type and try to write a new one to apply what you have learned. Second, dictation avoids grammatical errors (this error is fatal). Third, practice writing and turn the knowledge you have memorized into your own. Recommended book: Wang Jiangtao's composition.
(3) Politics
The information I use is as follows. First, elaborate. More comprehensive teaching materials.
Second, 1000. It is equivalent to a problem book, with intensive teaching and detailed use.
Note here that it is best to read and understand the questions, which is similar to the French exam. Only by combining the knowledge of the back with the questions will you know how to use it and which are the key points. Third, the wind is strong. It's like listing multiple-choice test sites. It's like ... concentrating the answers to multiple-choice questions and reciting them for you. I'm used to it. Four, minibus Xiao Si. That is, the last eight sets of volumes and four sets of volumes, the original questions or very similar topics (big questions), so you need to memorize them all.
The review sequence is as follows: Ma Yuan → Modern History → Mao Zhongte → Thinking → Current Affairs (Current Affairs and Policies).
Ma Yuan's preference for understanding is very interesting. The content of Mao Zhongte is developed in chronological order, so it is more convenient to remember it with the time of modern history. If you have time, you can draw your own historical timeline or look online. It is very important to think about current politics, with clear knowledge points and good memory.
I don't have much experience in politics because I got two points in the judicial examination last year, and I didn't begin to systematically review politics until the end of 10. Because time was tight last time, I had to spend my time on specialized courses. In addition, because most of the knowledge is the political content of the college entrance examination, I have less time to understand and recite the knowledge points directly. Science students may spend time watching videos to learn, understand first, and then remember on the basis of understanding. It should be noted that political memory can also use logic, and it can be memorized in chronological order and policy spirit.
(4) Specialized courses
Each school has a different way of setting questions and approving papers. Here are just some ideas.
Noun explanation. Noun interpretation can be carried out from the connotation and extension of nouns, rights and obligations, subject, object and content, synonym discrimination, types and so on. Generally speaking, the number of words can be controlled at about 50- 100 (different schools). Just explain the words clearly, without memorizing the answers.
Short answer questions and essay questions. First of all, some questions are suitable for short answers and some topics are suitable for discussion. This can be summed up by yourself. You can be guided by question consciousness, imagine how you would solve the problem if you were the questioner, and then answer. Secondly, to answer these two kinds of questions, it is very important to have a clear logical framework for the topic, such as "background-cause-phenomenon/content-result-influence-improvement". Third, for the essay questions. In the later stage of review, you can look at the examination papers of the teaching teachers who apply for the major, summarize the knowledge points like summarizing the essay questions, and use them flexibly when answering questions.
Third, about mentality.
For the postgraduate entrance examination, mentality is an unavoidable topic, and all people are the same: those who advance in the dark are not born strong, and they often doubt themselves ... Postgraduate entrance examination is to achieve themselves by going up a storey still higher, so it is natural to exercise their endurance, perseverance and belief in order to climb up. Please believe this.
About learning methods. First, summarize yourself. The methods are all others', so you can listen and try more, find the method that suits you and record it. Second, timely adjustment. When you feel that your learning state and learning method are wrong, you should reflect on it in time, communicate with others and adjust it. It is never too late. For example, English reading is always in a daze, and it doesn't work if you persist for a long time. For example, once the book of specialized courses is closed, there are many topics that can't be said ... When some problems appear repeatedly, they remind you to correct them in time. For example, last June, 5438+ 10, my reading was still two or three mistakes in each article. After communicating with other students in time and improving my methods, my reading has been improved obviously, and I saved the English course in time before the exam.
About confidence. Although everyone's goal of postgraduate entrance examination is different, there is no difference between good dreams and bad dreams. Facing the "Bai Yueguang" in our hearts, we may often wonder if we are incompetent. In fact, in the face of seemingly unreachable goals, everyone will be afraid in a corner, but being brave means that you know it is difficult and you have to face it. So, make plans for the future and focus on the present; Often communicate with peers, classmates and friends to understand each other's study and life; Keep some old hobbies or cultivate some new habits, such as music and sports ... these methods can make you jump out of your circle and make you realize that you are not alone in facing problems.
About effort and rest. First, work hard. Efforts are not to sit in the classroom for more than ten hours every day, nor to brush English reading for ten times. The word "hard work" refers to the quality of study, rather than simply emphasizing the study time and the number of problems. It is very important to learn "intelligent" learning, master learning methods and reflect on learning results in time. Second, rest. Learning to study is very important, and learning to rest is more important. Keep enough rest and go out to relax. When you are tired of studying and your brain can't eat anything, go out for some air and reward yourself with work and rest. When you go back to your desk again, you will face the knowledge with a better attitude and spirit.
About choice. In this process, we will face many choices, such as how to balance so many subjects, which teacher to listen to, whether it is necessary to watch videos in a certain subject, which part to simplify or give up when time is not enough, and so on. In this regard, you can exchange views with others, try and make mistakes yourself, review the past in time and adjust your plan. Don't be afraid to ask other people's opinions. Don't be trapped in a difficult choice or depressed mood for a long time. You can try to cultivate your own problem-solving consciousness, define your goals, face the problems directly, and choose in time, which is much better than spinning around in the same place. The future may not be expected, and we can't copy other people's "success" road, but as long as it is adjusted in time, it is not too late.
Finally, no matter what problems you encounter, you should believe that efforts are always useful.
I wish every graduate student growth and bright future.
