Write in front

Postgraduate entrance examination is a protracted war. Before you prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, I want to remind you to seriously consider the following questions:

Why do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?

Do I have to take the postgraduate entrance examination?

Postgraduate entrance examination is a test of one's mind and perseverance. I hope everyone will be prepared for success or failure before making a decision.

I applied for a master's degree in neurology from Tongji University, which is a small cross-examination in my major. I had the idea of applying for neurology last semester in my senior year, and I became more fascinated with the nervous system after I came into contact with it next semester, which strengthened my determination to apply for neurology. As for Tongji University, it is because the neurology discipline of Tiantan Hospital ranks first in the national medical colleges. Neurology is my favorite subject, so I must go to the top neurology university in China. With this in mind, I have always regarded Capital Medical University as my target institution. Therefore, I would like to advise all students and sisters that clear goals will not only make you more determined to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but also save a lot of time and energy in the process of preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.

By the way, as long as there is an opportunity for research, try your best to win it! If there is an opportunity for research, go for it! Try your best to fight for the opportunity of insurance research! Don't feel that you can't do it, have confidence, anything is possible before it is a foregone conclusion. (However, if it is limited to those who can only apply for graduate students, consider it comprehensively. )

Regarding the relationship between postgraduate entrance examination and internship, my personal opinion is to look at a person's psychological quality. If a person has a good psychological quality and doesn't care about other people's opinions, peer comments and teachers' criticisms, then a person can devote himself wholeheartedly to the review of the postgraduate entrance examination, find a quiet place to study by himself after signing in the department, and no matter what others say, then a person will have a lot of time. But most people may be similar to me and can't be completely indifferent to other people's opinions, so I advise you not to spend your mind on how to skip class. Why not explain your plan clearly to the teacher at the beginning, hoping to finish what you should do at one time and follow the class, and I hope to read books by myself at other times. Most teachers can understand (a few wonderful teachers don't care about running directly), so the psychological burden will be much smaller.

time management

65438+1late October-early February: Understand the target institutions and majors, define the objectives, and make a review plan.

During this period, most students are still in a confused period. They don't know what majors and schools to target, how to collect information, and how to make plans. From the end of June, 65438 to the beginning of February last year, I didn't rush to review, but slowly explored and understood. I read Xu Qi's "Choosing Schools and Choosing Specialized Courses", but because I have made it clear that I want to apply for neurology, I mainly pay attention to information related to neurology in class. I also searched the relevant hospital rankings on the Internet, listed several schools, and then went to official website to search for information: tutor information, scores over the years, admissions, relevant requirements, etc. Secondly, I also listened to Shi Hu's review arrangement and drew up a preliminary plan. Although it is not the final review plan, at least I have a bottom in my heart, and I won't look confused like I did at the beginning.

February-August: the first round of review of specialized courses+review of basic English.

Because I took the master's degree in Tongji University, the specialized course was not 306, but 699, the comprehensive entrance examination of western medicine, and the examination subjects were three courses+diagnosis+external communication, so it was suitable for students applying for a master's degree in science. From February to August, I reviewed the first round in the order of physiology, pathology, internal medicine, general surgery, diagnosis and biochemistry. I didn't decide to apply for a master's degree until mid-May, because I majored in pediatrics. At that time, I heard that pediatric students could not apply for an adult master's degree (I had the foresight). By this time, I have finished reviewing internal medicine, so the time I spent on specialized courses should be similar to that of my classmates who took the 306-year master's degree (the time for diagnosis and operation should be equal). During this period of English, I mainly recited words (the whole article), and read every sentence of He and the real English questions of 2000-20 10.

August-65438+1October: Second review of specialized courses+2011-2016 English real questions+political intensive class (Xu Tao).

The order of specialized courses is to look at physiology and pathology together, then biochemistry, diagnosis and foreign general English still insist on memorizing words, and at the same time, Xu Tao's English intensive class with real questions was started from 20 1 1-20 16.

65438+1October-165438+1mid-October: the third review of specialized courses+English composition, translation exercises, new topic training, 20 17-20 18 English real questions+political legs.

165438+1late October-before the exam: the fourth round of review of specialized courses+English composition, translation exercises, English simulation questions, English real questions 20 19, 2020.

Contact the tutor

Most people think it is useless to contact the tutor before the results of the preliminary test are announced, but opinions vary. Personally, it is more important to contact the teacher in advance whether you want to apply for a foreign school or a classmate of our school. As long as the email address sent to the teacher is correct and successful, the tutor will definitely receive it. Make it clear that the tutor may not reply to the email, but there is a great chance that the tutor will see it. So if your goal is clear and the school, major and teacher you want to apply for can be determined, then send an email to your tutor. Be prepared to sink to the bottom of the sea in the early stage, but don't be discouraged. It's always lucky not to reply. Take email as a planned thing during the postgraduate entrance examination, and return to daily study after doing it well. The time nodes when I email my teacher are: when I predict my name in September, when I announce the preliminary test results in March, when I announce the retest line and the retest qualification notice in mid-March (in fact, the teacher emailed me first), and after I successfully registered for the retest in April. One of the purposes of sending an email before the initial test is to find out whether there are places, and the other is to recommend yourself on the basis of a new one, so you also need a resume to at least give the teacher the impression that a good student is interested in you. Resume must highlight that you are an excellent person, write as many English-related experiences and experiences that reflect personal comprehensive quality as possible, and sincerely show your interest in the research direction of teachers. As mentioned earlier, I consulted the information of relevant tutors in February, but the scope was relatively wide. After I made it clear that I would enter Tongji in the later stage, I sent an email to the teachers in my interested research direction and received several teachers' replies. Remind that teachers who don't reply may not pay attention to you, and teachers who reply to you are not all very kind. Then set a goal as soon as possible and work hard for it. The master teacher of Tongji University basically only accepts one student, but I put all my eggs in one basket and left no room for further development. I just want to take the exam for that teacher. Fortunately, my tutor gave me hope and let me catch it! Doesn't mean that those who didn't reply to the email must not have been seen by the teacher. What I learned is that some students asked him to choose between the teacher who applied for the exam and the teacher who sent the email (he didn't reply and asked the main question) during the second interview. I sent an email to my tutor on the day of the announcement of the preliminary test results in March, and prepared my resume and email content in advance (a few days before the announcement of the preliminary test results, everyone could not settle down to study, so it is better to prepare a resume, make a personal statement and edit the email content so as to send an email to my tutor as soon as possible to gain time advantage). In addition to contacting teachers, you should try your best to contact your immediate seniors and full-time seniors, at least the seniors who successfully landed in the last session. Really, if God helps! As for the method, it is necessary to exert contacts and luck. The attachment is the content of my email contact with the teacher for reference.

Review of specialized courses

I reviewed four or five rounds of specialized courses, and the order of each round was slightly different. See the timetable above. As for the review method, everyone is different. Most people study by video, but because I feel that my foundation is poor, I can't keep up with the teacher when watching video. After watching the video, you have to read the book yourself, which will delay time and give yourself an illusion of understanding, so you read the book yourself from beginning to end. You can also consider the opinions of others and find a method that suits you. Don't blindly follow them.

The first round of review order: physiology?

pathology

Internal medicine?

Foreign manager? Diagnosis?

Biochemical (February to August)

The first round of review takes a long time, because there are ten joint exams (simulated exams for medical practitioners) and final exams interspersed during the period, and there are still about two months in between when I didn't review according to the postgraduate entrance examination plan, so the first round of review will take a long time, and I will spend more time reading books than my classmates who study by video. My first goal is actually to understand, not necessarily to remember the contents of the book, but when you really understand the contents of the book, you will find that most of the contents can be remembered by careful recall. Therefore, every round of review must be clear about your goals, not blindly, not anxious, just step by step.

The second review time was from August to 65438+ 10 month, and the review order was physiology, biochemistry, pathology, diagnosis and general surgery. This round of review is to strengthen understanding+memory, and the following rounds of review are actually mainly to strengthen memory. After three rounds, there are more leaks and more missing.

When I did eight sets of simulation questions, the average score was 250+, and the final exam was not satisfactory, but it was good that the whole preparation process did not collapse. Learn other people's methods at first, but you must find your own methods in the process, use your brains, and don't just imitate them.

During the whole review process, I used at least two synchronized exercise books for all subjects; Western medicine entrance examination, 8 sets of papers, 3000 questions (I didn't do much, my classmates did well), purple book.

About English

memorize words

Recite as many words as possible. Words are the foundation, and no matter how many words you have, you are nothing! According to your own habits, you can use the APP to read and recite words, but use the little red book back. Personally, I don't think there is much difference. Don't follow the video, such as Wei's famous video class, wasting time joking. However, if you are preparing for memorizing words in senior three, it is ok to watch videos at that time, because the audio-visual stimulation will be more impressive and you can watch videos with plenty of time.

One sentence a day: don't comment on anything. His daily sentences do not represent how high the quality is, but they can be used to practice hands and then do real questions. Be sure to carefully analyze the ingredients, you will feel more and more relaxed later, and you will not be confused when reading articles.

True question

I started to do the real questions in May, so I must cherish them, because there may be no questions to do in the future. ..................................................................................................................................................... Gestalt+Reading+New Questions will take almost 2 hours. When you are done, you will only answer questions. Then for the rest of the week, you should analyze an article in detail and translate it word for word every day. You should not only understand why you chose the wrong option. 17 I didn't do the problem, and then 10 I went back to do it, and then 17 I went back to do the problem on September 2005. I kept the question of 18-20 years and did it twice before the exam. Just understand it carefully. Don't deceive yourself, touch yourself.

composition

I began to prepare my composition at 5438+00 at the end of June. I started to write two compositions a week, and then compared with the model essay. I also watched Liu Xiaoyan's class. Later, I wrote a composition every two days. However, I later found that Liu Xiaoyan's composition was very conventional. I used her method to write a composition for my English major students, but she said it was fake ... Later, I planned to build my own template, and then I asked the academic Committee (big boss) of our class to help me correct my composition, and the effect was not bad. Therefore, I advise students with English foundation not to blindly believe in templates, but to have their own ideas in them.

Re-examination preparation

Professional courses

After the initial test, I will read books related to my major, one of which is an eight-year neurology textbook.

One is UBC's neuroscience textbook. Books are not for exams, but for interest, and will be extended to reading documents and video resources on YouTube, which is very slow. So I watched 2/3 of neurology before the second interview, but I didn't finish it ... I was still in a hurry before the second interview. But the advantage of this is that the foundation is really solid. Because I look at it from the functional anatomy of the nervous system, and the diseases of the nervous system are also based on anatomy, I will pick it up quickly and master it more firmly.

English

In fact, English is prepared when reading neuroscience and literature. The point is not only to recognize, but also to read. It would be better to close the book and introduce the disease in English. If you study towards this goal, you will be fully prepared. There is also a plan to read more literature about the research direction of the tutor, and I may introduce you when I have time. Prepare self-introduction and related questions about one month before the second interview, and practice with your classmates more. More practice can overcome nervousness. My classmates and I practice every night, first for English. Every day we ask questions in English, and then in Chinese. It is really useful to practice and prepare for self-presentation. I have prepared all the non-professional questions for the second interview, which went smoothly.

procedure

We have an online retest, not a written test. It is divided into reading time, answering time and free question time. Personally, I think both professional and non-professional questions are quite routine. Xue Shuo didn't take the lumbar puncture and nervous system exam, but he had an English question, two professional questions, a comprehensive quality question and a teacher's question. It is enough to be prepared according to the above.

Finally, there was an episode. When the admission list is announced at the end of the interview, before the announcement, the teacher will ask everyone if they accept the transfer. On the same day, 32 students had a second interview, and I was the only one who didn't accept the adjustment. The published teacher has also confirmed it several times ... I really like this teacher. Although I nodded "I don't accept the transfer" without any waves, I was actually very nervous. If the teacher doesn't want me, I won't have any chance. But I won the bet and attracted a wave of teachers' favor. According to my sister, the teacher thinks I'm quite good and has a high evaluation.

final result

In fact, the process of postgraduate entrance examination is to be down-to-earth, understand every part of the book and use some skills on the basis of understanding. Secondly, we should know not to compare with others during the postgraduate entrance examination, make clear the goal that can be achieved by jumping and make firm efforts. The less we think, the less we worry, and the more we can concentrate! The friends around me also did well in the exam and went to a good school. I believe you can do it, too. Come on!
