Time flies, it's almost a year since I finished my postgraduate exam. Looking back on the efforts at that time and the present situation at the time of graduate school, I can't help but feel a little ironic. During the epidemic, I have relatively more time. So I want to record some of my graduate experience in organic chemistry, hoping to help some junior students.

First, choose schools and majors.

(1) Reasons for choosing the major of this school

I am currently studying chemical process machinery in Tianjin University. The major most related to this major in undergraduate course is process equipment and control engineering, which is also my major, so I choose to continue my postgraduate study in this major in order not to cross majors.

There are not many universities specializing in chemical process machinery or power engineering in China. Leading universities mainly include Tsinghua University, Tianjin University, Xi Jiaotong University and Harbin Institute of Technology. Needless to say, the postgraduate entrance examination is difficult, and they are all top students, so you must not be blind and confident when choosing a school, let alone underestimate yourself. It is best to choose a school within your ability. Generally speaking, if your undergraduate course is ordinary or popular, you should not consider the schools tied with the above-mentioned schools, most of which are cannon fodder (I belong to the double non-background). For us, the best choice is 2 1 1 institutions, such as Tianjin University (East China), Tianjin University, beijing university of chemical technology and Hebei University of Technology. Of course, some excellent institutions are also very good.

These institutions have moderate difficulty in taking the postgraduate entrance examination every year, and the gold content is not bad. They are the best choice for non-students to improve themselves (of course, there are many capable students. Whether to attack top universities depends on your own ideas. This is just the real feeling of a person who has seen countless cannon fodder), so choosing a school in the postgraduate entrance examination is an extremely important step. As the saying goes, it is better to be a good one than to choose a good one. In recent years, the form of postgraduate entrance examination has become more and more severe, and the number of postgraduate entrance examinations has doubled. Let's not have the mentality of World War II. The pressure of World War II is too great, and the institutions applying for World War II are not as good as the previous institutions, so you should just set a goal and sprint.

Let me first talk about the reasons why I applied for chemical process machinery in Tianjin University. First of all, talk about my major. As mentioned above, my undergraduate major is this major. For the sake of stability, I don't plan to cross the exam. In addition, when choosing a school, my undergraduate college is a petroleum university, which is very common. So there were four alternatives when choosing a school at that time. Tianjin University, beijing university of chemical technology and Chang 'an University are all 2 1 1 institutions with similar level. After determining the general school scope, I began to understand the difficulty, number of applicants and professional direction of each school.

The number of students enrolled in beijing university of chemical technology is relatively small. A few years before my postgraduate entrance examination, I was only a single digit, and my score was relatively high. Chang 'an University's power engineering major is biased towards automobiles. Although there is this major, I have checked the research direction for hundreds of miles, and I passed it. The remaining two petroleum universities are the most corresponding to me in terms of specialty and school nature, but Tianjin University (East China) is my favorite, because it has a good scenery. However, after in-depth understanding, I found that Tianjin University's graduate education is better than East China, because Tianjin University was the graduate school of Tianjin University at that time, and later it gradually developed into a comprehensive university with undergraduate courses, so the foundation of the graduate school is still very strong, and its specialty of process equipment and control engineering was rated as a national first-class specialty.

Another episode is that the two universities hold seminars in many provinces before and after the summer vacation every year. The biggest function of this seminar is that it may bring great convenience to your second interview. After the East China seminar, you will get the right to take part in the second interview as long as you initially cross the national line. It looks tempting, but it's useless to think about it, because if you get a low score, even if you get a high score, it's cannon fodder. However, this university in Beijing is very cool. After his report, there was a simple interview. After that, if you cross the national line, you can avoid a second interview. This was also the place that attracted me the most at that time, but I don't know why this school didn't hold this presentation, so I couldn't take the second interview normally. As for this presentation, you can call the school before and after the summer vacation every year to inquire about the time and place.

Generally speaking, Tianjin University is a good choice, especially for non-college students, 2 1 1 college students who don't want to work hard.

(2) Application and difficulty analysis

Tianjin University has a master's degree in chemical process machinery, and its major is energy power (with two directions: thermal energy and chemical machinery). For master's degree and master's degree, the number of students enrolled each year is stable at 20-25. In 2020, the number of applicants for master's degree is 67, the number of people crossing the national line is less than 40, and the final cinema line is 280 points. There are 80 applicants for the master's degree, and about 45 people cross the national line. Finally, the cinema is 290, but I can't remember exactly what it is. This year's registration situation is similar to previous years, and the score is basically maintained between 280 and 300, and the competition is not particularly fierce. 202 1, the postgraduate entrance examination is not full. Finally, after recording all the people who have visited the national line, I recruited a swap. So 202 1 missed the postgraduate, but it was uncomfortable to be a master. The specific number of applicants in that year was not announced, but the score was 305 and the minimum admission score was 3 15. Therefore, no one can tell what happened in the year of your postgraduate entrance examination. You can only make an overall estimate based on the scores of the previous four or five years, and you can't look at individual years.

Difficulty analysis, the above scores are not high. Before specialized course 202 1, it was very simple, and the score was generally 120+. However, professional courses are more difficult in 2022, so the score in 2022 is not expected to be very high, depending on the number of applicants in that year.

Second, the initial experience sharing:

(1) Politics

First, introduce politics. Because there are many things to remember, it is not recommended to enter politics too early. You can start in August. When I first started reviewing, it was almost a book. Xiao Xiurong's lecture is concise. This material is a summary of the political knowledge points of the postgraduate entrance examination and can be used as a political outline of the postgraduate entrance examination. Reading alone may be boring. Most students usually choose to watch Xu Tao's video class during political review. Lectures are more interesting and have better effects. This book is very thick and needs patience, at least for a month. You can use Xiao Xiurong's 1000 questions in September, all of which are multiple-choice questions, and you can use them by brushing them. Political knowledge is fragmentary, especially Ma Yuan is not easy to understand. Therefore, it is normal for multiple-choice questions to make a lot of mistakes at the beginning. Read and analyze carefully, mark important places, brush them at least twice, and recite them properly. I usually like to recite some political knowledge points in the morning. Many people say that the real political questions have little effect, and the questions are too random every year, but I think the multiple-choice questions on the real questions are still more important. In addition, Ma Yuan's analysis questions also need to be read, focusing on the analysis principle and how the standard answer is analyzed.

165438+ 10 This month, Xiao Xiurong's eight volumes have been sold, and almost everyone has one. It is recommended to buy as soon as possible. The focus of the 8 sets of volumes is to select some analytical questions of Ma Yuan for analysis, and the big questions can be read properly without memorizing them all, which wastes time. Note that multiple-choice questions must be completed within a limited time to improve efficiency. In the sprint stage, Xiao Xiurong's four sets of essays, which have been circulating for a long time, must be bought and the big questions must be recited. Every year, Grade 4 can press the central topic. In addition, we should analyze the thinking of answering questions and have something to say.

English review

English needs long-term accumulation, especially the earlier the words begin, the better. I use Zhu Wei's sweet words. Before 6: 40 every morning, I go to the study room for postgraduate study. I recite words first, which is a long process. You need to recite words before the postgraduate entrance examination. In addition, I will record the words on the real questions and repeat them every day. If I do more real questions, I will find that the repetition rate of words on real questions is still very high. But don't start with the real questions too early. English teachers who take the postgraduate entrance examination will emphasize the importance of the real questions, and the style of the questions is really incomparable to the simulated questions. You can watch some English time and text analysis appropriately to improve your vocabulary and reading ability.

You can start doing real questions in late May. Note that you can only do reading comprehension at first. Reading comprehension is still difficult to get high marks. Pay attention to the trap of the questioner, and don't fall in the same place many times. Reading is also an important period for memorizing words and practicing long and difficult sentences. You can learn by referring to English videos, and you can choose what you think is more suitable. The real question is suggested to be done at least three times, and gradually change from quantitative change to qualitative change. 10 month, be prepared for composition accumulation. Wang Jiangtao's English high score writing is the most used. It is best to accumulate common sentences and form your own template. Until the exam, you should keep reciting exercise questions every day and keep your hand feeling.

(3) Mathematics review

Mathematics is the highlight of the postgraduate entrance examination, and whether the score of 150 is good or not can open a big gap. It is also a long-term accumulation process. At the beginning of the review, I did the after-school questions in the textbook first. I watched teacher Tang Jiafeng's basic class in March, which was very detailed and took a lot of notes. After the foundation, I made Tang Jiafeng's 1800, and the number of questions is relatively large, which is of course helpful to improve the calculation ability. In the meantime, take it seriously. In June, I watched Li Yongle's lectures on linear algebra, which were accompanied by video courses. There are also many classic topics to practice in the class notes.

The strengthening phase began in July, and we also looked at Tang Jiafeng's high number and Li Yongle's linear algebra. Then continue to do the problem. At the same time, I began to do Zhang Yu's real questions. There are many real questions. I suggest one set a day, but do it in time, don't waste the real questions, and sum it up carefully. 165438+ 10 will have a large number of simulation questions, including 8 sets of papers and 4 sets of papers. You can do it properly, keep your hand feeling and exercise, and test the review effect.

(4) Review of specialized courses

As the biggest obstacle, specialized courses must be paid attention to from the beginning, from the first day of review, so its attention can be seen. Personally, I think the following points of specialized courses are more important. First of all, knowledge points are the core. No matter what method is adopted, knowledge points are the most basic. Although the postgraduate entrance examination does not test knowledge points, the knowledge points must be remembered. There is no condition to talk about this. Before that, I wrote all the knowledge points on the card. Each card has 44 knowledge points, which is convenient for me to carry with me. I will recite it as soon as I have time, so I must be familiar with the knowledge points. My specialized courses may not be as good as I thought. In addition to objective reasons, big questions may be the main items that lose points. Because when I answered the questions later, the scores on the big questions were very few, which did not meet my usual level, but I never had time to prepare carefully, so I might suffer a little in this respect. I hope that the latecomers will take a warning.

No matter how many times you read the textbook, the ultimate goal is to get familiar with and understand the textbook. First, you need to know which chapters to read, which chapters can be put aside and which ones are important. You will know which chapter is the answer when you see the real question. After all, I am not a student in this school, and I don't know how to answer it, so I bought the real questions and answers of my sister who went ashore (according to my own situation, I don't have to answer, but I don't have to). My senior arranged it better, and then I added what I thought should be added when I did the problem myself. Here I want to thank her for saving me a lot of time. I also bought a set of exercises and question bank of new teaching materials on a treasure, which is enough. Some people have asked the real question several times. I think it makes sense to do it three times. It can not only impress people, but also increase proficiency. The real question is very important and will be repeated every year. I need not say more about this importance.

Besides real questions, simulation questions are also very important. It is more suitable for comprehensive review and testing, and is conducive to macro understanding. Its arrangement is clear and clear at a glance, which accommodates important sprint knowledge points and is conducive to solving difficult problems. This book accurately predicts the real questions over the years, and the quality of the questions is good. It is best to buy when you can, and you must do it when you buy. You must recite some key questions if necessary.

Specialized courses need more practice, comparison, summary and reflection. In terms of knowledge, I often browse some related professional knowledge articles, which contain many key knowledge points. I often go online to search for reading materials that need knowledge, print them out and double them every day. You can use reference books. Because I have too much knowledge, I usually record my knowledge and listen to it repeatedly on the road. In terms of real questions, it is not enough to buy a collection of real questions over the years. It is best to practice by yourself against all the topics that have appeared in the real questions of other institutions. I also need to memorize more knowledge test sites and practice the speed of answering questions.

Third, write last words.

Buddha said: Everything has a cause and effect. No fruit, no fruit, no flower. Before you decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination, think clearly about why you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. As a sublimated version of higher education in China, graduate students not only improve and sublimate their professional knowledge, but also exercise their logical thinking ability, language expression ability and learning analysis ability, which will be a sharp weapon for your future work.

First of all, we must recognize the direction we want, our own strength, various conditions and qualities. Think carefully before making a choice. Don't think so much when making a choice. It doesn't matter how many people the school recruits. I believe you are one of the few outstanding people they recruited. How many people apply for the exam and which schools students apply for it have nothing to do with you. In short, you are in a one-way street, just run as fast as you can.

Finally, I would like to give a suggestion to my schoolmates: Gan Kun is undecided. You and I are both dark horses. We must stick it out. Success often belongs to those who are fully prepared.
