I. Schools and majors
I study in a 2 1 1 logistics automation major in the north. Last semester, I decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination and sprint for a better school, and I will start formal review next semester. Considering Shanghai's superior geographical location, development opportunities, difficulty in postgraduate entrance examination and opinions from family members, we chose the control science and engineering major of Beijing Jiaotong University. This major is directly under the first-level discipline of my undergraduate major, not the ace major of Beijing Jiaotong University, so it reduces the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination to some extent.
The difficulty of the 985 postgraduate entrance examination is definitely there, especially the competition among popular majors in popular areas is particularly fierce. The School of Electronic Information Engineering of Beijing Jiaotong University controls the enrollment of 20-30 masters every year, which is divided into big and small years (about 30 students are enrolled in big years and about 20 students are enrolled in small years, according to the law of alternate years). 20 17-20 19 the basic score of the second interview in these three years is 350,345,370 (movies). If you are qualified as an excellent camper in summer camp, you can directly enter the second interview through the school line. The difference ratio of the second interview is about 1: 1.5.
Experience: When choosing a school and major, you must make a reasonable choice according to your actual situation, learning ability, employment planning and various objective factors (such as review time). Although various experience stickers of "Two Ones Attacked 985" and "Three Months Admitted to Peking University" can be seen everywhere on the Internet, don't be blinded by the false prosperity of this network! Rational and wise choice can make the road to study get the highest cost performance. Pay attention to collecting relevant data before finalizing the specific school, ask the opinions of the accepted seniors and sisters, try to aim at the height you can reach, and don't aim too high or underestimate yourself.
Second, the initial experience.
I scored 65 in politics, 78 in English, 82 in mathematics, and the principle of automatic control 122, with a total score of 347, ranking 37 in the initial test. Let me share my gains and losses in the preparation process by subject.
(1) Political articles (one round of review+two rounds of review+sprint)
One round of review: 2019.7.15-2019.10/5. Materials: Xiao Xiurong's exquisite lecture, Xiao Xiurong's 1000 question, Xu Tao's enhanced video (which can be played at double speed). Political I * * * is divided into five parts (Ma Yuan, Mao Zhongte, Modern History, Ideological Education and Current Politics). Every day, I will spend about 1.5h-2h watching Xu Tao's enhanced video. After watching it, I will do 1000 questions to correct my mistakes. I reviewed five parts in the order of Tao Tao's lectures-Ma Yuan, Hughes, Modern History, Mao Zedong and Current Politics. I spend the most time in Ma Yuan, so I suggest digesting and understanding more after class, and reciting related concepts in combination with mind mapping. The recitation of modern history should be combined with the time axis, and at the same time it can lay the foundation for Mao Zhongte's study. Mao Zhongte pays more attention to the memory of trivial knowledge points and needs more patience; Thinking is the simplest; The current political situation has entered the sprint stage.
Second review: 2019.10.25-2019.1.25. Material: Xiao Xiurong 1000, summarizing knowledge points and telling the truth. At this stage, I will recite the knowledge points every day, mainly in the morning and after dinner. By the end of June 165438+ 10, I will do real questions every day and brush 1000 questions to check for leaks and fill gaps. It's important to remember this period of time.
Sprint: 20 19. 12 to the exam. Materials: Xiao Si, Hachi, summary of knowledge points, and current affairs of Xiao Xiurong. By the month of 65438+February, the students around us have gradually begun to recite political subjective questions crazily, and people who recite them can be seen everywhere in the classroom corridor and outside the library. At first, I was going to recite Grade Eight, but time was really too late. Before I moved to Xiao Si, I probably learned two sets. At the same time, I will do some current affairs every day and review the missing questions of 1000. Here, we strongly recommend the collection of multiple-choice questions compiled by the official WeChat account, which can be used to practice your hands and check for missing items. Subjective questions I also use the organized version of the official WeChat account, and I will remember one subject and one question more quickly. The state of crazy recitation should last until the exam, and the best state should be presented in the examination room.
Experience: ① It is best not to change teachers halfway. The famous teachers in the market are actually very good. It is better to learn the essence of the teacher's teaching with one person than with the spirit. ② Pay attention to the memory of real questions, high-frequency test sites and key test sites. A week before the exam, I made mock papers for Sister Leg and Xu Tao, but the score rate of multiple-choice questions was very low, because the exam was near at that time, but I felt that many test sites on these papers had not been reviewed, and my mentality was actually a little collapsed. But when I really went to the examination room, I found that many test sites were real mainstream test sites, which were neither too biased nor too difficult. It is very important to pay attention to the real questions and review them in a down-to-earth manner. ③ More points on the back.
(2) Mathematics (one round review+two rounds review+three rounds review+sprint)
Mathematics review is the highlight of the whole postgraduate review process, and it is the most time-consuming and energy-consuming subject. Personally, I feel that this year's mathematics is very difficult, so I have not achieved ideal results, and I still have some experiences to share.
One round of review: 20 19.3-20 19.6. Materials: Advanced Mathematics Textbook, Online Substitution Textbook, Lecture 18, Zhang Yu 1000, Zhang Yu Basic Course Video, Li Yongle Online Substitution Basic Course Video. In March, I began to watch the video of Zhang Yu's basic course, and reviewed it with textbooks and after-school exercises. The content of "18" is interspersed in the middle. The content of the lecture 18 is actually a bit difficult to read, and the content inside is really difficult. I first selected some content that I can accept, enriched my knowledge network and improved my problem-solving ability. Almost 80% of the basic courses of advanced mathematics are probably in May. I followed Li Yongle to review the basic course of line generation. The method is watching videos+taking notes+textbooks+basic exercises. There is a lot of pressure during this period. There are many professional courses in the next semester of junior year, which is very difficult. The course design and exams are all a pile, and we often squeeze time to review.
Two rounds of review: 20 19.7-20 19.9. Materials: 18 lecture, linear algebra lecture, probability theory lecture, topic 1000, Yu bingsen's basic course of probability theory, Wang Shian's intensive course of probability theory, and Li Yongle's intensive course of line generation. The basic course of probability theory began in mid-July. I didn't do the basic problem of probability theory because I didn't have time. At the beginning of the summer vacation, the firepower was fully open and three math classes were comprehensively strengthened. The method is to watch videos+give lectures+do questions. I strongly recommend Li Yongle's linear algebra, from which I have benefited a lot. To tell the truth, Wang Shian's probability theory is not very clear. Later, I studied with Tang Jiafeng's probability theory for a period of time and understood what I couldn't hear clearly. 1000 problem is basically completed at this time, and the progress of the second brush is about 40%.
Three rounds of review: 20 19. 10. Data: real questions over the years. During the National Day holiday, I began to do the real questions over the years, which lasted for one and a half months. I didn't finish all the real questions until mid-June 165438+ 10. The real questions before 2002 can be used as ordinary practitioners, because the types of questions in this period are not fixed (it should be noted that you also need to look at the time and give yourself some sense of urgency); After 2002, the real questions can be used in the mock exam (including time and mentality). Think more about what you can't do, and you won't look at the answer again. You can download the corresponding answer sheet on the internet to simulate it.
Sprint stage: 20 19. 1 1- before the exam. Data: Li Lin 4+6 sets of volumes; True question. During this period, there are various simulated test papers on the market. Because I heard that Li Lin's essay writing was very accurate, I bought his essay paper to do it. After finishing, I feel that his test paper can really make up for many knowledge points that have not been paid attention to and ignored automatically during review, which can make you feel more at ease before entering the examination room (although actually none of them have been tested). At this stage, I also brushed the real questions, especially those I don't understand. These stages are interspersed with lectures on review 18, line generation and probability theory.
Experience: ① Brush more questions, but don't be too mechanical and think more. ② If I do it again, I will talk to Li Yongle's team in a down-to-earth way. When I almost collapsed doing math in the examination room, it was Li Yongle's words that gave me great strength. If you want to get high marks in math, you need some inspiration and talent.
(3) English articles (word articles+reading articles+translating and writing articles)
There is no complete time limit for the English part, so I choose to share it according to the question type.
Words: I started preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination in March and never stopped until the exam. In the early stage, I mainly used word-memorizing software+love words (combined with Zhu Wei's early video); Words, phrases and sentences sorted out on the test paper after doing the real questions in the later stage.
Reading: I started in May and did it twice. It is true that "the reader wins the world", and reading is really too important in postgraduate English. I will do 1-2 articles every day, and each article takes about 20min minutes. After finishing, read the explanation of Zhang Jian's Yellow Book, sort out the words and phrases, and record them in the notebook. Take them out and look at the back when you are free. During this period, I read Tang Chi's book The Logic of Reading, which was very good and highly recommended.
Translation writing: From June 5438 to 10, I began to watch Tang Jing's translated videos and books and recite my composition. I memorized 20 compositions before the exam (10 is big, 10 is small). Tang Jing's translation is highly recommended, and the explanation is very clear. The process of reciting a composition is very painful, and it needs repeated memory to be effective. In addition, don't wait until 65438+February to start preparing. Time is really too late. The composition for this year's exam is a notice. I didn't pay attention to the format of the notice before the exam, so I guess I lost points.
Experience: ① English focuses on accumulation and persistence. Don't take any chances, review the different questions of the composition comprehensively. 3 words can't be broken, so keep in touch when reading.
(4) Specialized courses (one round review+two rounds review+sprint)
One round of review: 2019.7.1-2019.9.20. Data: Hu Shousong's Principles of Automatic Control (6th edition), a video explaining the automatic control of stone groups. At this stage, I watched the video explained by Shi Qun and reviewed the teaching materials. There are many classes in shiqun, with 80 classes. You should be patient after reading it. His class pays great attention to the derivation of formulas, and suggests that we can skip some too complicated mathematical derivation contents (Tongji's investigation pays less attention to mathematical derivation and more attention to how to apply it); You don't have to read something that isn't in the sixth edition. Generally, after reading a chapter, I will leave two days to review and do exercises after class. Practice after class is very important. This year, a 20-point calculation problem comes from after-school exercises.
Second review: 2019.9.20-2019.11.20. During this time, I did the exercises after class again, and began to do the real questions and recite the formulas. The real questions are very important, but the real questions of Tongji over the years are not announced to the public. I bought it in a shop in Taobao and started to do it. The real questions are fragmentary memories and incomplete. Multi-back formulas, such as lead correction and lag correction formulas. Hu Shousong's book also has a question bank, but he spends too much time doing it.
Sprint: 2019.11.20-before the exam. At this stage, I did the real questions again, sorted out the real questions by category, and saw which knowledge points were frequently tested, which deepened my impression. There are more exchanges with classmates in the review of professional courses. I formed a study group with two classmates at the same school, and established a QQ group, where we usually communicate and exchange needed goods, which helped me a lot.
Experience: ① Specialized courses should be tailored to different schools. (2) The topics of specialized courses are not very precise. ③ Communicate with classmates on the basis of full thinking.
Third, about the second interview.
I looked at several other majors in the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. There are many places to adjust, but the only ones that are controlled are masters. It seems that they are still popular. Re-examination 19, students 14. My ranking is above average. I didn't start reviewing until I got the preliminary test results in the last year. Retest 300 points. 140. In the 40-point test of professional English, the single chip microcomputer has multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, programming questions, and the last one is design questions. Filling in the blanks is a very basic topic, and reading a good book should be no problem. Then the fill-in-the-blank in the program seems to be about a timer, which is actually quite difficult for you to fill. After all, everyone has their own ideas about programming, but you should do it according to the questioner's ideas. In short, the problem of programming is to control a buzzer connected to the P0.0 port to ring for one second, which is quite simple. Finally, the design problem is about designing a device to make solar panels move with the movement of the sun, so as to make full use of solar energy. I read this in the previous self-control book, which is not difficult. I looked at the final written test results, and the highest score was 93, over 60, and 80 was an average. The written tests of professional English are all professional English articles.
160 The interview includes two professional questions, one is foundation, the other is design, the other is oral English, the other is English listening, and the other is a hot topic in society. Personally, I think the second interview of Shenzhen University is fair and just. The initial test is basically the top 7, and the retest score is still the top 7.
I have seen the history of blood and tears in the preparation process on the forum before. I am very touched and encouraged. But you can only understand it if you have experienced it yourself. We always need to give up something in order to gain something, so I think these are nothing, and it is worthwhile to think about them now.
At that time, my first ranking was just in the middle. The preparation for the second interview is better, only five points have been deducted from the professional course, and the written English test is not bad. The overall evaluation has improved by more than 10, and it is expected to win the first-class scholarship at present.
Fourth, summary.
Postgraduate entrance examination is a lonely journey without knowing the destination. In the process of preparing for the exam, some students may get a satisfactory offer, or they may be having fun. Only you are eating boring books. But once you decide to embark on this road, don't hesitate to regret it. Method+mentality+persistence is the secret of success, and ups and downs are the experience of life.
