First, choose a school and set up a major
1, reasons for choosing a school
Wuhan University was my dream school in the college entrance examination, so I firmly chose to apply for the history of China in Wuhan University during the postgraduate entrance examination. On the other hand, compared with Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other regions, public courses and professional courses in Wuhan are more relaxed, and it is easier to go ashore in World War I.
2. The difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination
In recent years, the enrollment scale of China history in Wuhan University has been expanding, and it is difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination according to the ratio of 1: 1.2.
3. Changes in the postgraduate entrance examination of China history in Wuhan University.
Before the postgraduate entrance examination in 2020, Wuhan University took the 7 14 China History Self-taught Examination. In September 2020, it was announced that after the unified examination, the professional courses were changed to 3 13 history unified examination. The history of 3 13 unified examination is characterized by a wide range of propositions, a shallow investigation depth, a specious style of writing questions, and not playing cards according to the routine. In contrast, the marking of Wuhan University has also dropped from 380 points last year to 328 points. I think Wuhan University will be better after the unified examination.
The total score of the initial test is 342, politics 76, English 69, and history major 197.
Second, the initial experience.

Some suggestions on the review schedule
Arrange your work and rest time reasonably according to your work and rest habits and learning efficiency.
1, English 1
First of all, I want to introduce my personal English learning. I got 590 in Band 4 and 540 in Band 6. My English level is above average. I am good at reading comprehension questions, but weak in English writing. During the exam, my order of doing the questions is reading-composition-translation to complete the new questions. Zhu Wei, He and He are the pits to be avoided in English postgraduate entrance examination.
(1) reference books
Word: Little Red Book
True questions: the truth of postgraduate entrance examination (the explanation is very detailed, with the analysis of each true question, suitable for students with poor foundation),
Zhang Jian's Yellow Book (used when brushing real questions)
(2) Timetable
2-6 months ① Recite words. Recite one unit of red book words every day, and review them in the morning and evening until May and June. Memorizing words is very painful at first. At the beginning, I was in a state of turning over books and grandchildren every day, but I must stick to it! Words are the foundation and the most important thing for English postgraduate entrance examination. If you can't remember the words, the reading accuracy will naturally fail. If you feel that dry endorsement is a bit boring, you can use an app to help you remember. ② Grammar learning. Watch grammar class, practice analyzing long and difficult sentences and lay the foundation for reading training.
June -65438+ 10 (1) At this stage, I began to do a real English test for the postgraduate entrance examination for nearly 20 years, starting in 2000 (only the real test for the last three years was reserved for the final sprint stage), and I did it two or three times. Prepare a notebook, record the new words in the process of doing the real questions, review them in time every day, and watch Tang Chi's reading class when encountering difficult real questions. 2 Recite words. At this time, with the foundation laid in the early stage, the speed of memorizing words can be roughly two chapters a day, and words can't fall on the last day before the exam. ③ Read foreign periodicals. Because most of the English reading articles for postgraduate entrance examination come from foreign periodicals, I have a good personal English foundation. I read a foreign periodical on average for three days in summer vacation to cultivate my sense of language.
10 month—1 10 month ① true questions with high repetition error rate or incomprehensible. Good at cloze and new questions. ③ Recite and organize English composition templates. 3 recite words.
165438+ 10-65438+February ① card time to do real questions for nearly three years as simulation training. ② Write your own English composition.
65438+February-before the exam ① Do the real questions for nearly three years to cultivate the hand feeling. ② Review the new words in the notebook. Train yourself repeatedly to ensure that you can finish a real English problem in three hours.
(3) Review the experience of each question.
Words, memorizing words is really important! Very important! I didn't recite the words well in the early stage, but it was really painful to do the real questions later.
Reading, readers get the world! Four reading comprehension questions account for 40 points in the whole paper, and whether English reading is done well directly determines whether English can cross the line. Er students who take the postgraduate entrance examination must pay attention to the time when doing reading real questions, and control it at about 20min minutes. The teachers who are good at reading and explaining are Tang Chi and Jing Tian. Tang Chi's method of doing reading problems is more inclined to skill and metaphysics. Jing Tian will show you a solid analysis of an article, and students can choose a teacher according to their own style. From my personal experience, don't memorize grammar when reading! When you encounter long and difficult sentences that you don't understand, you should contact the context and grasp the overall idea of the paragraph, instead of trying to understand the meaning of each sentence. I don't need to buy other English simulation questions. I have read the real questions for nearly 20 years enough to cope with the exam.
Composition, large and small compositions account for 30 points of the whole article, which is an important section after reading. I used English templates for my composition, and memorized four types of composition templates and some commonly used sentences and corpora. Friends with good English level can write their own compositions, and their scores are still higher than those with templates. I personally recommend the Wang Jiangtao English composition book that many people are using.
In addition, it is suggested that friends who have time buy a Hengshui English copybook to practice words, and it is also important to remember written impressions in the examination room. Last but not least, you must write your own composition before the exam! ! After writing, I will find out what's wrong with me. Without practicing in advance, it is difficult to write a good composition within the time specified in the examination room.
Small three doors, small three doors are cloze, translation and new questions. These three courses are not cost-effective, and they can't be separated from others too much. As long as you recite the words carefully and learn some problem-solving skills, it is enough not to score. Cloze has become easier and easier in recent years, and it doesn't take long to train cloze. Song Yixuan is a better teacher who has finished cloze and new questions.
2. Politics
Politics is a course with low investment and high return in postgraduate entrance examination. The key to high scores in politics is multiple-choice questions. If you can get 40+ in multiple-choice questions during the postgraduate entrance examination, there is no problem with a total score of 70.
(1) reference books
Xiao Xiurong's family scrambled to recite the manual.
(2) Timetable
It is not too early for liberal arts students to start politics from May to September, but it is enough for students who want to get high marks or have poor political foundation to start political studies from May to June. In recent months, I mainly watched the online class of Sister Leg, and I watched Xiao 1000, which is a joke. After the summer vacation, I can finish a round.
September-10 two brushes and three brushes 1000.
10-110, I saw Sister Leg's skill class. I think the skills class is quite helpful.
165438+ 10-65438+February, doing and memorizing 4 small 8, sprinting to recite the manual and watching the composition class of sister's legs.
(3) Review the experience of each question.
Multiple-choice questions ① You can brush Xiao 1000 three times, and the final choice question score will not be low. (2) Look at the skill class of the leg sister. (3) Do the real questions for nearly five years, feel where the digging points of the teacher's questions are, and feel the style of the real questions. There is still a big difference between the real question and the simulation questions such as Xiao 1000. ④ Personally, Xu Tao's exercise book and Leg Sister's multiple-choice questions are not recommended, which is too difficult and quite different from the real style.
Material problem? There are five major problems in postgraduate entrance examination politics. (1) Xiao Si Xiao Ba is a must-read, but the answers given by Xiao Lao are difficult to recite, so we can have materials to recite. Sister Leg's punching class will teach you how to analyze materials. What is the answer to a big question? It is highly recommended.
3. Historical Synthesis (3 13)
Specialized course 3 13 is the most painful subject in my review process, and the knowledge points as broken as dumpling stuffing can be called the unified examination hell. 200 points for specialized courses is regarded as no score. Since Wuhan University changed to the unified examination in September, my experience tends to be short-term crash, which is not suitable for everyone.
(1) reference books
Textbooks: 65,438+065,438+0 history textbooks (China ancient history course, Li Kan China modern history, China modern history and world history edited by Wu Yuxi), Chinese historiography history and western historiography history.
Tutorial book: wake me up (the structure and framework of noun explanation and essay questions are very clear, so it is recommended to use the structure in the book when answering questions in the examination room), and the boring and vague purple book (suitable for accelerating players to establish a general framework)
(2) Timetable
Read China history textbooks from February to June, take notes while reading and build a framework.
From June to September, I recited the essay on the history of China, and brushed the history textbook of China with two brushes and three brushes.
9- 1 1 After the unified examination, Wuhan University quickly bought six books on world history, built a framework while reading them, and recited the essays on China history and world history in combination with big purple books.
In February, 65438, we searched for leaks and filled gaps, and combed the context of China history and world history by reading the note frame.
(3) Review the experience of each question.
Multiple choice questions, the difficulty of multiple choice questions in the unified examination has been reduced in the past two years. Instead of studying the detailed knowledge points that need to be memorized in books as in the past few years, it is changed to a material question type that examines students' analytical ability like a high school history multiple-choice question, but the score is expanded to 4 points for one question. Students can buy some simulation questions from postgraduate institutions to train their feelings.
According to the analysis of historical materials, such questions are relatively simple and can be answered according to the materials and knowledge learned. In the process of preparing for the exam, we need to pay attention to the training of historical materials translation and sentence reading.
Essay questions, unified examination essay questions have always been known as heterodox. They like to examine the knowledge points that you don't usually pay attention to, and rarely take out original questions from the composition book, so students should pay attention to reading the teaching materials carefully. If there are really questions that you can't do in the exam, you must follow two major answering principles: First, build an answering framework in your mind. For example, we can answer this question from the following aspects: explain the definition, analyze the background (politics, economy, culture, internal and external, subjective and objective), content and influence (positive and negative); Second, we should broaden our thinking and try to link the questions we can't know with the known knowledge points. For example, in the essay on analyzing free trade in Britain in 2020, we first know that the time of implementing free trade in Britain was between 17 and 19 century. By reviewing what we have learned, we can think that the main historical event in Britain during this period was the industrial revolution, and we can see that there is a certain connection between the British industrial revolution and British free trade, and then it can be influenced by the background content.
4. Postgraduate entrance examination process
My road to postgraduate entrance examination can be said to be very bumpy. After the exam syllabus was changed in September, I was faced with the choice of taking the exam 3 13 or changing it from a proposition school. After a short struggle, I finally chose the hard 3 13, and almost all the self-made content I learned before was invalid. Judging from the difficulty of adjusting candidates for the self-taught examination this year, my choice is correct, the unified examination is the general trend, and students will have a greater chance of choosing a unified examination school to go ashore. In June of 5438+00, the insurance research failed, and the retreat was blocked, so I had to take the postgraduate entrance examination. From September to June, 165438+ 10, I was sent to other places by the school for educational practice. Every day during practice, I was on the verge of collapse. During the day, you should spend piecemeal time reviewing the postgraduate entrance examination, and stay up late reading until one or two in the evening. Long-term lack of sleep leads to grumpy, sensitive and suspicious. 165438+ 10 After returning to school in October, it was also a piece of cake, and finally overcame thousands of difficulties and finally landed. My unlucky postgraduate entrance examination experience proves that hard work may not be successful, but it will not be successful without hard work. Persistence is victory!
Third, the second interview experience:
In 2022, the score of China history in the School of History of Wuhan University was 365, and the second interview was 12. Eventually eliminated 1 person, entered 1 1 person. However, it should be emphasized that the online score of the school is 355, so nearly 10 people with 355 points or above have transferred to the major of cultural relics and archaeology in the School of History of Wuhan University, which has greatly improved the landing rate of Wuhan Institute of History.
Because it is in the epidemic era, the re-examination form is mainly online, and the re-examination is conducted by means of question and answer. To emphasize, we must ensure that the equipment is normal and the network is excellent.
Question:
(1) Introduce yourself in English and an English question about yourself. Just prepare in advance.
(2) Chinese questions are mainly based on resumes submitted in advance, and you must not cheat. Among them, the core issues are mainly the students' future research direction and their understanding of the research direction (which books have you read in the relevant direction). I think you can prepare for the re-examination according to your graduation thesis, and read all the books in your research direction during the period from the initial examination to the re-examination.
Regarding the second interview, we must not take it lightly. We must play well.
Fourth, suggestions and encouragement to younger brothers and sisters.
Postgraduate entrance examination takes a long time, and there is a lot of pressure in the middle. Sometimes you will be very upset. I hope someone will work with you to remind yourself of your goals and dreams. When you encounter difficulties, someone will fight side by side with you, which can eliminate loneliness and increase your confidence in winning. At the same time, moving forward in comparison may have better results.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself when reviewing. Relax properly every week, and you must get enough sleep to have the energy to review.
Don't be too superstitious about your predecessors, and don't care too much about what people around you do. It is important to ask yourself what kind of study you belong to, and then make a plan according to your own situation. Never blindly follow others' experience and progress, which will not only disrupt your normal study plan, but also affect others' mood. Don't miss the woodcutter when sharpening the knife, and work after finishing the master's degree!
