First, about choosing schools and majors.
My undergraduate major is biological science, and most of the specialized courses of biology postgraduate entrance examination are biochemistry, postgraduate and postgraduate courses, which is also the "big head" of our undergraduate study, so even before deciding which school to go to, you can familiarize yourself with these three courses. When considering choosing a school, I learned from Weibo and some senior sisters that beijing university of chemical technology is not "discriminatory" and is very fair and just. Besides, the topic of Beihua is not very strange, and he has a strong sense of direction when reviewing, so this is also the main reason why I want to try Beihua.
Whether it's the Institute of Microbiology Technology, the Institute of Biological Sciences, sugar engineering, etc. The professional assessment is the same, so the information is applicable. I chose the Institute of Microbiology at that time, because I prefer Qingdao.
In the past three years, for the unified examination, the number of graduate students enrolled is less than that of master students (English subject for master students is English II). In recent years, the number of graduate students is between 30 and 50, and the number of graduate students is decreasing every year.
At that time, I hesitated between master and master for a long time, until the enrollment catalogue came out in September and even reached the single-digit level, so I chose a master who only had different English. This also reminds the friends of the 23rd postgraduate entrance examination that our scores are getting higher year by year (from 320 last year to 349 in 22 years), but we should know that it is totally possible to cross the school line as long as we study hard. Looking back on the whole postgraduate entrance examination experience, beijing university of chemical technology gave me a great surprise. No matter whether it is the first professional class or the second tutor's kindness and humility, I feel that choosing beijing university of chemical technology is a decision that I won't regret.
Second, the initial experience.
Looking back on the whole initial test, I didn't turn over the textbooks of specialized courses several times in the first half of the year, so I came home in July and began to realize that I might start studying, so I started buying political and English topics and looking for suitable specialized course workbooks and videos, and the postgraduate entrance examination began here. But we can imagine the study state at home during the summer vacation, that is, three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, so that my professional courses have not been finished before September, and the real state of entry is after September.
From September to1February, this is my real postgraduate entrance examination cycle. Actually, I miss these months now. I wake up every day as if there is a force leading me, which makes me feel tired and happy every day.
Let me share my initial experience.
Public courses: politics and English
1, Politics: Whether it is Sister Leg or Teacher Xiao, there is nothing wrong with following a teacher all the time; Or you can follow the flexible order that suits you (for example, Tao Tao intensive class+leg sister skill class+leg sister boxing class+leg sister tuck class). The corresponding data is core test case+Xiao 1000+ skill handout+sprint handout+leg sister sprint notes+Xiao 8+ leg 4+ Tao 6+ Xiao 4).
Personally, as long as you want to go into politics as soon as possible, there is nothing wrong with it. Don't be too late. I don't think politics should be postponed from July. In the early stage of politics, you can listen to Xu Tao's courses, assess the cases of psychological test questions, and listen to a chapter to do a chapter. We can regard this move as some "relaxation episodes" to review the postgraduate entrance examination courses. Later, you can talk to your sister about skills classes, followed by punching classes and composition classes. The topics are the last mainstream papers, because you will find that no matter what happens in the early stage, everyone's political progress in the later stage is very different. Everyone is doing small 8, and everyone is memorizing Grade 4.
Remarks: Recommended bloggers for the political postgraduate entrance examination: Sister Leg, Teacher Xiao, and the course can be expected.
2, English: Because my own English foundation is not very poor, CET-6 is 500+, and the final postgraduate entrance examination is 80+, so I didn't watch many popular English postgraduate entrance examination courses, and I didn't spend much time in English, so I didn't have much experience. But remember that the most important and basic thing is words, and those who get words win the world, so the sooner you start the words, the better, and you should stick to memorizing them until the last moment. Then from the summer vacation, I will write a photo question. I can start with four readings. English 2 is simpler than English 1. You can set yourself a goal when you do it for the first time, such as reading for 30 minutes twice at a time, and then reading the Bible for postgraduate entrance examination after reading it. You can correct your mistakes with detailed analytical answers, read the full text intensively, and then mark the words. English real questions should be done at least twice. If you have enough time, you can do English reading.
In the later stage of composition, you can imitate and learn to write with the teacher, starting from 1 1 at the latest.
Remarks: It is difficult for me to recommend listening to mainstream teachers' grammar, reading and other courses in English learning, but I must insist on memorizing words.
(2) Specialized course: biochemistry+cell
No matter which specialized course I take, I always take notes while watching teaching videos and textbooks. Finally, notes must have played a great role, so I must make efforts to take notes and try to integrate what teachers or seniors say in textbooks into the form of notes that I can remember and understand most easily. Of course, there are also many institutions that sell some "senior notes" and "senior notes" and so on. But I think it's ok, but it's far less effective than taking notes and reciting them, because the notes record your feelings word by word, and you will strengthen and improve your original views or understanding methods to some extent in your repeated copying, and even overthrow your previous ideas, so as to get the most correct and appropriate understanding.
No matter what knowledge, reading and memorizing knowledge points are useless. There must be real questions and exercises, which are equally indispensable. Remind everyone that beijing university of chemical technology's biochemical questions have a high probability of repetition, and even the direction of the questions is traceable, so the real biochemical questions are very important. Cell biology won't repeat so much, but most knowledge points will definitely be the focus of our review, even emphasized by teachers during the undergraduate period. Therefore, it is necessary to give priority to the review of specialized courses, and a rhythmic and targeted review will have a multiplier effect.
1, biochemical
Biochemical questions (there may be differences every year, but they are almost the same): noun explanation (10 -20) true or false questions (30 -30)/short answer questions (10 -50)/essay questions (at least 5 -50).
There are many biochemical problems, but there is absolutely no such thing as being unable to write. As long as you review well, you will find that most of them are familiar.
Beihua Biochemical recommended two volumes of Wang Jingyan's Green Thick Book (you should feel the weight when you think about it, hahaha). I think this textbook is more of a reference book. Maybe it has more content than you need to focus on, but you can also find detailed knowledge in time.
Since the summer vacation, I have been taking biochemistry classes in the mile, taking notes and reading textbooks. I wanted to make a chapter exercise book after reading a chapter, but I didn't master enough at that time, so the effect was not good at first. I didn't finish reading the textbook until 10 (you can prepare in advance, reading the textbook for the first time is a difficult and long process. )
Then I began to take notes, do real questions, and make Wang Funing's exercise book at the same time. These three steps started at the same time, because Wang Funing's exercise book is a systematic topic, and it is definitely a special biochemical exercise book for beijing university of chemical technology's postgraduate entrance examination. Many judgment questions are based on this, so it will greatly improve the previous knowledge when doing it. And then the real problem. To do several sets of real questions, you don't need to spend three hours writing the questions like in the exam, but think about the knowledge points of this question, form your own ideas, and then look at the answers. After several years of real questions, you will probably have a basic understanding of the important and difficult points in the exam, such as the structure of protein, several cycles and physiological processes of glucose metabolism, synthesis of fatty acids, etc. These are all important test sites.
Then repeat the above process, and you can recite your notes several times (you will find that you will take notes faster and clearer); Wang Funing's exercise book has been done over and over again, and the first question that is unfamiliar, unclear or even thoughtless has been repeated over and over again; You have to recite the exercises at the end of the real question. Yes, you must recite the exercises of biochemistry. You'd better have finished what I just said (or at least repeated the real question in the last five years).
Remarks: Reference Books: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Wang Jingyan.
Recommended exercise book of biochemistry: Wang Funing's exercise book in previous years, and beijing university of chemical technology's explanation of terms.
Recommended course: Biochemistry and Grading of Teacher Yang
2. Cells
Explanation of cell problems 10 -50/short answer 6 -60/discussion 2 -40.
Cell answering requires a comprehensive, systematic and "extensive introduction", which requires the formation of a knowledge grid.
Cell recommended the latest textbook (5th edition) by Ding and Ding, which is a book with good quality and color printing commonly used in our school. The usage of this cell textbook is not quite the same as the two biochemical books just now. It is best to read each chapter and text carefully, and recommend the original course of the textbook (Bi Li Bi Li Chuan University National Excellent Course). Similarly, take the textbook to the class and take notes, and then do the exercise book that Mr. Zou is supporting.
After reading the cells in mid-September, I began to take notes again. At the same time, I added a purple exercise book published in Tsinghua's early years (it should be an old version, a photocopy, which Taobao can buy, but the paper is generally passable for the content). After I read this little purple book once, I began to recite these two exercise books. I should have recited them twice at that time and looked at the real questions of cells at the same time.
Don't be discouraged because the real question of cells is not repeated, and think that cells are difficult. In fact, cell content is more systematic, more organized, more vivid and faster to recover than biochemistry.
Remarks: Reference book: Cell Biology 5th Edition, Zou,,, etc.
Workbook: Zou Dongfang, Learning Guide of Cell Biology
Review Outline of Cell Biology and Answers to Questions Tsinghua University Publishing House (usually photocopy version)
True questions in previous years
Course recommendation: Cell Biology, a national excellent course of Sichuan University.
Whether it is cell or biochemistry, you must take time to think in the later recitation process. You can list important and difficult chapters and outlines, or you can look at unfamiliar topics repeatedly. In the last ten days or so, try to find out the status of the exam, write some complete sets of questions or part of a set of questions, and limit time to adapt to this feeling. I think the postgraduate entrance examination is an active process. In the later period, everyone participates more, and their mentality is easy to collapse, but we must master our own learning rhythm, give full play to our initiative and make rational use of our time.
Third, the second interview experience
In 2022, about 70+ students will enter the second interview, and finally about 50 students will be recruited, so there will be cases of brushing people, but as long as they are fully prepared, the second interview is relatively easy.
The reference book of Institute of Microbiology Technology is Microbiology (both editions can be edited by Mr. Zhou Deqing, Mr. Shen Ping and Mr. Chen Xiangdong). I use the books of Mr. Shen Ping and other teachers, and the supporting workbook is also the "Microbiology Learning Guidance and Practice Explanation" edited by him. I used the video of Chen Xiangdong's course and took notes to re-examine the real questions of previous years. And I want to find my own or common experimental videos of molecular experiments (such as constructing expression vectors, basic agarose gel electrophoresis, SDS-page, etc. ) to summarize the experiment. I will start preparing at the end of February, and the second interview will be in late March.
Re-examination process (online re-examination):
1. Cooperate with the teacher to confirm the venue and identity.
2. The teacher randomly asks English questions (1-2), which are probably non-professional questions, such as why to apply for the exam, the undergraduate school, whether the graduation thesis has been completed, and so on.
3. Ask random questions, that is, what we have learned about microorganisms this month. Dictate a topic and choose two of the three questions. As long as you read the book well and do it well, these questions are not problems. They are all relatively basic.
4.？ Comprehensive quality of questioning and experimental skills. The teacher will ask some questions about your laboratory experience and some subjective questions, accounting for half of the second interview. Therefore, we are required to prepare the experiments we have done in advance, mainly molecular experiments. Even if you haven't done this experiment, you should be familiar with the experimental process, objectives and methods by watching videos or courseware, so that when the teacher asks you what experiments you have done (about four or more experiments have been prepared), you can actually find a range for the teacher to ask questions and let him ask you questions when you are prepared.
Fourth, senior wants to tell you.
Looking back at the whole postgraduate entrance examination process, I actually said so much. The most important thing is to find a suitable learning method, fully grasp the initiative of learning, and study rhythmically and efficiently. It was not until September that I entered the state, but I lived a full day and was very efficient. Finally, I got about 400%. Remember, nothing in this world can be done overnight. No matter whether the front is long or tight, every step is your own. As long as it is slow and steady, every step counts in the end.
In the later stage of postgraduate entrance examination, you will find that many people around you give up on themselves. Many people have been monks for a day, and you will have a breakdown. For example, last year, because of the epidemic, we were sealed in the dormitory for two weeks at the last minute. I still remember that it snowed heavily that day. On the way back to the dormitory from the study room, I thought I would definitely fail the exam, but EDG won the championship that night, and the snow that night was beautiful.
When you feel infinite darkness around you, talk to your friends and family. I believe that what our family is looking forward to is our growth and harvest in the whole process, not the result. At least we haven't spent these months in a daze, but there is a flashing target ahead, waiting for us there.
