Application conditions for GCT:
1. On-the-job engineering technical or engineering management personnel; Or teachers engaged in engineering technology and engineering management teaching in schools;
2. Have more than 3 years of engineering practice experience after obtaining a bachelor's degree; Or after obtaining a bachelor's degree, although the work experience is less than 3 years, it has more than 4 years of engineering practice experience; Or have a bachelor's degree in national education series, and have more than 4 years of engineering practice experience;
3. Excellent work performance.
In some schools, candidates applying for electronics and communication engineering, control engineering, computer technology and other fields are not limited by working years. Those who have been admitted as engineering master's students need to complete the postgraduate courses and engage in engineering practice for more than two years, and complete the thesis (design) in combination with the engineering tasks before they can defend the master's thesis (design).
Similarly, candidates who apply for software engineering in some schools are not limited by their working years. If you are admitted as a master of engineering, you can defend your master's thesis (design) after completing the postgraduate course and combining the software engineering task.
The GCT exam is usually held in the third week of June every year, 10, and the registration time is usually from June to August every year. The results are generally published in June 5438+the following year 10, and the next February-March is the time for admission and school opening.
GCT scores are valid for two years. If the score reaches the online score, you can choose to enroll in the same year or the next year. When you enter school next year, you don't need to take the GCT unified exam.
"GCT" exam, formerly known as "GCT- I" (Entrance Examination for Engineering Postgraduates), is a qualification examination for studying for engineering postgraduates.
GCT paper consists of four parts: language expression ability test, basic mathematics ability test, logical reasoning ability test and foreign language application ability test.
The test of language expression ability aims to test candidates' knowledge accumulation and language expression ability with Chinese as a tool.
By reading and understanding words, words, sentences and texts, we can examine candidates' knowledge of natural science, humanities and social sciences and their ability to express their knowledge by using language tools.
The basic mathematical ability test aims to examine the basic knowledge and basic thinking methods of candidates, and to examine the candidates' logical thinking ability, mathematical operation ability, spatial imagination ability and the ability to analyze and solve problems by using the mastered mathematical knowledge and methods.
The logical reasoning ability test aims to examine candidates' ability to master and apply logical analysis methods. Using given information and comprehensive knowledge, through the process of understanding, analysis, synthesis, judgment and induction, we can draw out concepts, seek laws, make reasonable judgments and analysis on the relationship between things or the trend of events, and determine ways and methods to solve problems.
The purpose of the foreign language proficiency test is to examine the actual foreign language proficiency, foreign language reading ability and foreign language application ability. Through the test of foreign language vocabulary, grammar, reading, understanding and daily oral English, we can understand the comprehensive ability of candidates to use foreign languages.
The knowledge of "GCT" examination covers philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military science, management and many other categories. Through the given test questions, the comprehensive ability level and reaction speed of candidates are mainly assessed.
GCT test questions all adopt objective multiple-choice questions, including reading comprehension, analysis and judgment, right and wrong discrimination, scenario analysis, mathematical problem solving, logical reasoning and so on. The answer forms are choice, fill in the blanks and so on. Multiple choice questions are single choice questions of four choices and one type; Fill-in-the-blank questions require choosing a correct answer from four given answers to fill in the blanks listed in the questions, thus making the contents of the questions complete. Candidates must choose a correct answer from the four alternative answers A, B, C and D listed in each test question. Multiple choices, no choices or wrong choices are not scored; The selected answers are all A or B, C and D, which are considered as invalid papers.
The full mark of GCT paper is 400, which consists of four parts, each part accounting for 100. The examination time is 3 hours and each part is 45 minutes. "GCT" is a national unified examination, and the results are tentatively valid for two years.
The "GCT" score line provides a basis for colleges and universities to recruit engineering masters, and there is no national unified "GCT" qualified score line. Colleges and universities can independently determine the "GCT- I" test scores that candidates should achieve according to the actual situation of the school, and conduct comprehensive tests on qualified candidates, including professional written tests and interviews. The school decides whether to accept according to the comprehensive test results.
Frequently asked questions of GCT:
1. Don't you have a bachelor degree to apply for? Without a bachelor's degree, it means that students who apply for GCT with a bachelor's degree do not get a degree because they have not studied English or have taken too many make-up exams, and they lose their eligibility to apply because their study years exceed the regulations (it usually takes four years to graduate from the self-study exam). The disadvantage of not having a degree is reflected in the GCT exam, which is limited by the admission rate.
Admission quota: the annual enrollment quota for candidates without a degree does not exceed 10% (the quota for other majors is different), that is, if a school enrolls 100 students, it can only enroll 10 students without a degree. Generally, when enrolling students, schools will separate those with and without degrees from high to low.
2.GCT percentile: For example, in 2005, the GCT score was 230, and its percentile was 72%, which means that among the 65,438+000 candidates, 72 scored lower than you (excluding the absence of exams). In 2005, there were 67 107 applicants for master of engineering, and the average score of GCT in China was 208.7 (50.7%). In 2004, the average score of GCT was 265,438+02 (50.7%). You can calculate the position of your achievements in China by percentile. Many schools admitted 190 in 2004 (percentile 28. 1%) and 188 in 2005 (percentile 30.3%), so it can be guessed that the admission line for degrees in 2006 should also be above 30% (according to the 2005 document of the National Academic Degrees Office) The gap between those without a degree and those with a degree (65,438+090 in 2004 and 65,438+090 in 2005) (20 points in 2004 and 40 points in 2005) is gradually widening, and the number of applicants is also increasing (according to the degrees and degrees of the Ministry of Education), reaching 265,438+07 in 2005. Among them, the largest number of applicants is the master of engineering, reaching more than 78,000. The number of applicants for the first master's degree in physical education, master's degree in art and professional degree in landscape architecture was 2,690, 4 126 and 1033 respectively. Therefore, students without a bachelor's degree must get at least 40 points more to be guaranteed. (Note: The proportion of masters in each major is calculated by category)
3. What is the key to success? GCT exam?
GCT tests comprehensive ability. Rote memorization is useless, and the questions are flexible. The topic itself is not as difficult as the postgraduate entrance examination, but it requires much more time and reaction speed than the postgraduate entrance examination.
The key is quick response, which is the key to the exam. Many candidates feel that there are too many questions to finish in the exam, and it feels like they are grabbing points. You can get two points by choosing one answer.
Most candidates think they just don't have time to do it. In fact, GCT tests the speed of doing problems. If there is enough time, many candidates can get 300 points even if they don't review. For candidates, the key is not enough time. So in a sense, it is more cruel than full-time postgraduate entrance examination. Therefore, remedial classes are becoming more and more important. In particular, the explanation of famous teachers can play a more effective role.
In fact, this exam also has opportunistic skills. For example, the passing line of general colleges and universities, 220 points is enough. If you calculate an account for everyone, x+(400-x)*0.25=220, that is to say, as long as you are sure that you can answer correctly 160 points, the rest of the questions are all the same answers with your eyes closed, and there is a quarter of the correct rate, and the total score is 220 points. But in this sense, the GCT exam is not difficult. In fact, as long as 40% of the students really get it right, they can basically pass the exam.
4. Is it reasonable to use GCT for on-the-job postgraduate entrance examination?
The reason of GCT examination is closely related to the vigorous development of master of engineering education in China. With the vigorous development of postgraduate education in engineering, at the end of 20001,the state set up a research group for part-time postgraduate entrance qualification examination, and on the basis of drawing lessons from foreign postgraduate selection methods, put forward a new method to reform the part-time postgraduate entrance qualification examination in China.
The so-called reference to foreign postgraduate selection methods actually mainly refers to the conventional mode and evaluation method of GRE standardized examination held in the United States, and introduces and establishes GCT examination as a passing examination for future engineering masters (including other professional masters).
After full investigation and study, the research group of the entrance examination for master of engineering in the State Council degree office put forward a two-stage examination admission method, which is scheduled to be implemented in 2003 and has been implemented for four years.
From the actual situation, the GCT exam is successful. Judging from the examination situation, compared with other similar examinations in China, GCT examination has improved the discipline of examination room and improved the examination efficiency. Judging from the admission situation, the actual admission result is consistent with the selection expectation of the master of engineering entrance examination. GCT has been widely recognized by the society.
The content of GCT test is reasonable. Chinese, mathematics, logic and foreign languages are comprehensive basic qualities and some common sense things. GCT test questions adopt objective multiple-choice questions, which have a wide range of knowledge and focus on assessing candidates' comprehensive ability and reaction speed. Theoretically, this selection method is more reasonable than other similar examinations. Of course, since GCT is a new thing, it needs further improvement.
Due to the successful implementation of GCT examination in recent years, in 2003, GCT was taken as the entrance qualification examination for master of engineering, and in 2004, besides the master of engineering, the master of agricultural extension and veterinary specialty was added. In 2005 and 2006, Master of Landscape Architecture and university teachers joined in succession. In 2007, the master of Chinese international education and the master of translation were added, and the general trend is to increase year by year.
5.GCT review the overall idea of preparing for the exam?
(1) Using authoritative review reference materials is the basis. Of course, if you have time, you can get twice the result with half the effort by participating in authoritative pre-test counseling. Especially the subject of logic, one is that I have never studied it before, and the other is that the problem-solving methods and skills of this subject are really important.
(2) Don't underestimate any subject, and you don't have to pursue any subject too much. When reviewing for the exam, you must allocate your time and energy.
(3) targeted training before the exam. You must finish the questions within a limited time, and whether you can finish them on time is particularly important for the success or failure of the exam. It is very important to simulate actual combat training before the exam. Be sure to finish the simulated test questions of four subjects within three hours, so as to grasp the rhythm of the exam, because each candidate has different foundations of these four subjects. Through simulation training, find out the answer sequence and time allocation scheme suitable for your own characteristics, so as to determine your own time allocation strategy for the on-site exam.
(4) At the same time, we should pay special attention to the arrangement of subjects in the examination room. We should proceed from reality, combine our own thinking and psychological characteristics, and arrange the answered subjects smoothly so as not to be confused in the examination room. There should be a strategic consideration about which subject to do first and which subject to do later. It is extremely important that you can give full play to your true level and get high marks as long as you grasp the allocation of examination time and allocate time reasonably.
How to apply for a master of engineering without a bachelor's degree?
Master of engineering has certain requirements for bachelor's degree in enrollment, which is mainly reflected in the difference in admission ratio. Here I hope I can help you know more about some points that need to be paid attention to when applying for GCT master of engineering without a degree.
No degree: refers to students who have no bachelor's degree and apply for GCT with a bachelor's degree. The reason why you can't get a degree is that you haven't studied English or taken too many make-up exams, and the study period exceeds the regulations (it usually takes four years to graduate from the self-study exam) and you lose your application qualification. The disadvantage of not having a degree is reflected in the GCT exam, which is limited by the admission rate.
Admission places: The number of candidates with no degree enrolled in the Master of Engineering every year does not exceed 10% (the places of other professional masters are different), that is, if a school enrolls 100 students, it can only enroll 10 students with no degree. Generally, when enrolling students, schools will separate those with and without degrees from high to low.
