According to the application statistics of western finance in World War I, my total score is 429, politics 78, English 85, mathematics 140, and specialized courses 126. I started studying in March, and it took me ten months to prepare for this exam. In this experience post, I will try my best to share my experience in a limited time, from bibliography to learning methods, as well as mentality adjustment in a special period. I hope this article can help everyone.
About mathematics:
Mathematics is a super important subject, and I spend most of my time reviewing. Mathematics in this year's senior high school entrance examination is very simple, but because of personal carelessness, I didn't do well in mathematics this year, so it's really important to be serious!
Bibliography: Li Zhengyuan's review books, Li Yongle's review books, Wu Zhongxiang's lectures on advanced mathematics, Zhang Yu's 30 lectures on basics, Zhang Yu's 18 lectures, Li Yongle's lectures on linear algebra, Wang Shian's lectures on probability theory and mathematical statistics, 660 questions, 1800 questions and 1000 questions, and the simulation papers of teachers in the later period.
Preparation experience:
Early stage: Last year was during the epidemic, I stayed at home and had classes online, so I was assigned 3-4 hours of math every day from April to June. Behind the basic course is the older generation of teacher Wu Zhongxiang. Every class is the key and difficult point of the postgraduate entrance examination, and it is all dry goods. For example, in the limit part, other teachers summed up more than a dozen problem-solving skills, but Mr. Wu Zhongxiang summed up eight or nine problem-solving probabilities, which greatly reduced memory and made understanding the best way to learn. Memories will not be confused or forgotten. Personally, I think his basic courses are very helpful to me.
Support 660 questions to do together (at that time, because math took a lot of time, I also did the basic part of 1800). The basic course of general line generation begins with reviewing the basic part of advanced mathematics, followed by Li Yongle's video class to support the corresponding exercises. Probability theory is a science subject, so I started to brush the questions directly without looking at the basic course. In short, we must lay a good foundation in the early stage, and we must not be busy watching video lessons. Be sure to brush more questions and turn your knowledge into your own. At the same time, I also took the time to read the knowledge points of Li Zhengyuan's whole book, and brushed the exercises (students who have spare capacity for study can learn from them). One of the characteristics of this book is that it requires basics (brushing textbooks or brushing basic online courses), which is very important, because if you don't establish a preliminary knowledge system through textbooks or online courses first, then you may feel uncomfortable reading this book, because there are many knowledge points interspersed and integrated, especially the high number and line generation parts.
Mid-term: Summer vacation is the key to widening the gap with others, and there must be at least 4-5 hours of study time every day. Mainly look at Zhang Yu's intensive reading class and his textbook "Eighteen Lectures" (changed to "Eighteen Lectures" as the textbook of intensive reading class this year). By the way, I sorted out the wrong questions of the previous 660 and 1800, and then brushed Zhang Yu's 1000 ABC group questions. You can classify and summarize the wrong questions in the wrong question book, and you will find that many questions are similar, so you can summarize the tips of this kind of questions. In addition, we need to allocate mathematics time to advanced mathematics, line generation and probability theory respectively. Personally, I don't suggest a course, or you will find that many knowledge points of advanced mathematics have been forgotten when you strengthen the study of probability theory. The specific allocation time can be determined according to your own situation. I am two hours tall, one and a half hours for line generation and one hour for probability theory.
Later stage: This stage is from September to1February. The key is to brush the questions and consolidate the knowledge points that have been learned. At this time, our main focus is on professional courses and politics, so three hours a day is enough for math. 65438+ 10 September began to brush the real questions and the wrong questions sorted by myself. The real questions before 2000 are too simple, and the meaning of brushing is not great. Personally, I haven't brushed it. The farther the year, the simpler it is. Since June 165438+ 10, teachers' simulated test papers have been released one after another. I have done five papers by Yu Bingsen, six by Li Yongle, six by Li Lin, eight by Zhang Yu and four by Li Zhengyuan. Each set of papers is limited to three hours, so I can make my own simulation (I can decide to buy some teachers according to my own situation). I usually arrange to do my papers at 8 am. Until three days before the exam, you should master the feeling of doing mathematics, and you should read the wrong questions in the last three days.
In addition, it should be emphasized that don't let your guard down just because math is simple. Senior year, this year's simple math led to careless mistakes, wrong three multiple-choice questions (15), resulting in the overall performance is not as good as expected. Everyone must pay attention to the correct rate of filling in the blanks. Making a fuss is really crucial!
About English:
Words: The most important thing in English is words. I remember words from three aspects at the same time. The first is the core vocabulary book for postgraduate entrance examination. I used Ma Tianyi's Between Words. He also has a supporting course, which is to tell all the core vocabulary to help you deepen your memory. For students with good English foundation, you don't have to attend classes. You can recite words according to your own plan every day. For students with poor English foundation and difficulties in memorizing words, you can listen to them, which can help you understand and deepen your memory. The second is the word app. Find the vocabulary of the postgraduate entrance examination outline and then plan the amount of words you remember every day according to your own situation. You can use the time before going to bed to recall. The third is the new words in the real questions. When you do the real questions, you must bring a special notebook and record the words you don't understand. Then I will remember words from these three aspects every day, which is more comprehensive, because it is not enough to remember only the core vocabulary. I spent about two hours reciting words every day in the early stage.
Grammar: I listened to Liu Xiaoyan's grammar class and his supplementary books. I think a better way to practice grammar is to translate the real questions and read them. Because the real questions of English II are rare and precious, I did all the real questions of English I in the early stage. After listening to the grammar class, translate the reading of English one, and don't do the following questions. You can choose translation or interpretation. It may take a long time to translate all your handwriting and about 40 minutes to translate an article. So I suggest that you can translate and write a long sentence, and then correct it according to the translation of the translated answer to see where your problem appears. It will be difficult at first, but it will be greatly improved as long as you stick to it, and it will be very simple to do the real questions of English II in the future.
Reading part: After listening to Tang Chi's reading skill class, I also did the reading problem of English 1 first. I started reading English II in July. I have read English II at least twice, so I suggest using a pencil for the first time. After writing an article, I listened to Tang Chi's explanation on this topic. I don't think it is necessary to do simulation questions, because the real questions are of high standard, which not only examines your English ability, but also examines your logical thinking ability. Simulation questions may not have this level, so your thinking may be biased if you do too many simulation questions. If you want to get high marks in reading, the most important thing is to know words and understand sentences. Reading skills are just icing on the cake. Don't rely too much on reading skills. Laying a good foundation is the key.
Composition part: The composition was written by Xue Fei's Between Compositions. The big composition is relatively simple in chart type, so it is almost the same to recite the beginning and end after finishing. Small compositions are all kinds of letters, and I recite a template for each letter. I began to recite the composition from the middle of 5438+ 10, and repeated it until the exam.
Others: There is a little luck in cloze, and the score of each blank is not high, so I do it at the end of all the questions. Cloze can't open too many gaps. You can listen to some cloze skills classes, and maybe you can improve 2-3 blanks. The new question type of English II is very simple, so there is no class to do a real question. The translation of English II is not very difficult. If the translation of the real questions is done well in the early stage, there should be no big problem in the translation questions.
About politics:
My political career began in late August. In the early stage, I mainly watched the intensive classes in Xu Tao.
After reading the class, I did 1000 corresponding to Xiao Xiurong and brushed the questions repeatedly. Later, many teachers will come up with some politically important keywords, you can have a look. I also read Xiao Xiurong's "Situation and Policy" and the summary of knowledge points to understand the hot spots this year and consolidate the knowledge points of politics.
In the later period, it was mainly Xiao four shaw VIII. When Hachi got it, she made a set in about two days. On the first day, he made multiple-choice questions and consolidated right and wrong. The wrong question is not a simple one-to-one correspondence, but an expansion. It is necessary to supplement the knowledge related to this knowledge point. The next day, he read the big question, and Ma Zhe read the information. He must first think about a direction, write it down, and then compare the answers. Ma Zhe can't solve this problem alone, he must know it.
Before Xiao Si got it, he mainly brushed the multiple-choice questions of Primary Eight repeatedly, and made a set of multiple-choice questions two days after he got it in Xiao Si. Practice is the same as that of Xiao Ba, and the rest of the time is spent reciting Xiao Si. Like Hachi, Ma Zhe had better read it before reciting it. Finally, I also watched Xiao Xiurong's lecture. He mainly talked about Xiao Si, supplemented and focused on it. I think this course is very useful. Politics doesn't need much time every day. One and a half to two hours is enough.

Preparation experience:
April-July: Because I signed up for class, I was listening to basic courses, learning Rongmei's statistics and sorting out the supporting problem books of knowledge points in the early stage. The first two chapters are relatively simple and can be completed quickly. The knowledge points in the third to fifth chapters are relatively simple, but the amount of calculation is large. Note here that Cai Xi is not allowed to take the calculator test, so you must exercise your calculation ability in the early stage. It is normal for some topics to count as an hour. You can finally test your calculation results with a calculator.
Starting from the sixth chapter, it is the knowledge points of sampling distribution, parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. Because my undergraduate major is applied statistics, I can almost understand the calculation after listening to it once in the basic course of my senior year. If you are a cross-examinee, don't be nervous. You can read the book carefully, mark what you don't understand, summarize what you don't understand, and ask your senior sister more if you don't understand, so that you can get professional answers. At this stage, I study professional courses for 2-3 hours every day, and I read the book Statistics by Xiang Rongmei about three times before the summer vacation.
July-September: At this time, I have also started to learn Yan's "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics" course according to the schedule planned by my senior sisters. This book is difficult, with many exercises, but there are many details to pay attention to. I will brush the exercises in the first three chapters again and again. Generally, if this book is mastered, the part of mathematical probability theory will not be a problem. Some of Yan's exercises in our professional courses this year are relatively simple, but this does not mean that there will be no problems in the 22 nd session. In short, more and more attention will be paid to the investigation of mathematical statistics, and the review chapters should be strictly in accordance with the outline. I haven't read much about this book since the fourth chapter, only some exercise knowledge points drawn by my senior sister. At the same time, I also continue to study statistics. I sorted out the knowledge points in each chapter, drew a mind map with XMind, expanded the knowledge points in turn, and sorted the formulas involved in each chapter into my notes. Because there are many statistical formulas, it is necessary to organize the memory according to the framework, and it is also convenient to review and sort it out in the final review stage. In addition, I brushed the topic of the matching exercise book and repeatedly enhanced my calculation ability (calculation is really important, and I have to manually open the root number to test the necessary skills of western finance).
September-65438+February: Practice the real questions at this time. I used a real question from a general material and completed the calculation like a formal exam. At the same time, I began to review the knowledge notes compiled by the seniors in the book (I'm not sure whether Cai Xi will take the short answer exam again). Even though these years are all calculations, there are a few small problems in the calculation questions that will make us write a written description, such as the basic idea of variance analysis and the prerequisite of variance analysis, so it is also very important to recite the knowledge points, and the focus in the textbook is concentrated in the notes. Every day until the exam, my task is to constantly review and consolidate the knowledge points in my notes (I also compiled a note of my own, which also contains many knowledge points that are not in the textbook, such as the solution and calculation of the second kind of errors, the analysis of two-factor variance, etc. ). After finishing the real questions, I began to make simulation papers and sprint papers made by seniors and sisters. These papers are difficult and have a large amount of calculation, which can test my knowledge and calculation ability to a great extent and is of great significance to the improvement of my later ability. When I finished these papers, it only took me an hour or so to complete the Cai Xi real test paper three hours after the postgraduate entrance examination, and I got 146. All the knowledge points have been thoroughly reviewed.
Give you a little advice about specialized courses: Cai Xi's examination style is not like that of most schools now, and Cai Xi's style is biased towards numbers rather than words, so you must exercise your computing ability on the basis of understanding and grasping the knowledge points in place, and it is best to practice your computing ability for 2-3 hours every day in the later period, which is basically to do problems! In short, if Cai Xi wants to get high marks, he must read books thoroughly. This year, for example, he got a flat-topped distribution. I have probably read Rongmei's textbooks at least 10 times, and I have read them at least 5 times.
About mentality:
Mentality is very important in the process of postgraduate entrance examination. To some extent, it is more important than reading two more books. With a good attitude, the preparation process for the postgraduate entrance examination will not be very painful, but will be very fulfilling. Giving up one's postgraduate entrance examination sounds nothing, which is an understatement, but it actually means that you have not embarked on the road of one's postgraduate entrance examination, and all your previous efforts in the library are in vain. Therefore, you need to give yourself positive psychological hints. When others review quickly, you should think for yourself, so that your pace will not be affected by other review progress when you take the postgraduate entrance examination.
I have always believed in a creed: one can have regrets in one's life, but never regret it, because it is a denial of one's past life and a denial of one's own time. For most students, whether it is a famous brand or three books, the postgraduate entrance examination may be the first time in your life that you decide and pay for it yourself. You may miss the school move with lower threshold, you may part ways with your lover, and you may even be heckled and ridiculed by roommates and losers ... but it's your choice. There are almost no constraints in the whole postgraduate entrance examination process. You can choose to stop and give up at any time and place according to your own mood, but in any case, you must be absolutely responsible and responsible for your choices and actions.
Finally, I wish you all good grades in the exam ~ Come on, good luck.
