The college entrance examination is like crossing a wooden bridge with thousands of troops. Those who can only cross the wooden bridge must work harder than others, and there is no guarantee that they will not fall into the water. This is a good way to bypass the river.
The author scored 602 points in the college entrance examination in 2007 (science) and 596 points in the undergraduate control line in Henan Province. In a populous province like Henan, it is very unlikely that this score will be admitted to a good school. Fortunately, I took and passed the independent entrance examination of Northwestern Polytechnical University, and was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University with a gap of 20 points. My personal experience proves that it will be helpful for you to take the independent entrance examination scientifically. Since the history of independent enrollment is only a few years, many people still don't know much about it, just like looking at flowers in the fog. Today, I will lead you to unveil the mystery of independent enrollment.
First of all, clear the goal and choose the right school.
Self-enrollment refers to the selection of high school graduates with extraordinary innovation and practical ability, or with special talents in literature, art and sports. , or comprehensive quality among the best. Candidates who pass the exam and sign an agreement can be admitted below the school admission score after the college entrance examination. At present, it can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category is that colleges and universities take out 5% of the total enrollment plan for independent enrollment. Colleges and universities determine the list of independent enrollment candidates through tests. After being selected, candidates should take the national unified examination and enjoy certain conditions when entering school; The second category is the independent selection and admission of Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University in Shanghai. The biggest breakthrough in the admission reform of these two universities is that the interview results can determine admission or not. Candidates who are admitted by themselves should also take the college entrance examination, but the results of the college entrance examination are only used as admission reference. At present, this kind of independent selection is only for Shanghai candidates; The third category is independent enrollment in higher vocational colleges. In recent years, some higher vocational colleges in Shanghai and Beijing have implemented independent enrollment, such as Beijing Institute of Information Technology, Beijing Peili Vocational College and Beijing Jiahui Vocational College in 2006. Candidates who have passed the independent entrance examination in these institutions can be admitted directly without taking the college entrance examination. Independent enrollment in colleges and universities is mainly concentrated in the first category. Candidates must take the college entrance examination no matter what form they take, and the results of the college entrance examination are the first reference factor. For the first category, candidates must be high school graduates with outstanding comprehensive quality, excellent academic performance and certain specialties. Candidates who pass the test will enjoy about 20 points when they are admitted to high school. For the second category, interview, as the most critical link in the admission process, highlights the university's own talent selection methods and standards, and also provides effective experience for further expanding the autonomy of universities.
In 2007, there were 59 colleges and universities with independent enrollment qualifications. Many key universities have their own enrollment policies, but each school has different policies and admission conditions. Everyone must fully understand the relevant policies of each school, be targeted and choose a school. It is worth noting that students who are qualified for independent enrollment must take the national unified college entrance examination at the place where they are registered, and take the lead in applying for the school in order to enjoy the preferential policies for independent enrollment. The annual self-enrollment and selection time is from 10 to April of the following year. Please pay attention to the deadline for registration. (See Archives of College Entrance Examination, No.10, 2007 for details. )
Schools with independent enrollment qualifications can be roughly divided into two categories in terms of preferential policies for selected candidates. The first category is all selected candidates, who can be admitted to the first batch of colleges and universities designated by the provinces where the candidates are located after taking the unified entrance examination for ordinary colleges and universities in that year (note: most colleges and universities require the original results of the college entrance examination for candidates, excluding various preferential policies), and schools that are qualified in political examination and subject to professional arrangements can be admitted, such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology; The second category is that the selected candidates can enjoy the admission of reduced points on the basis of not less than a batch of undergraduate control scores. For example, in xidian university, if candidates' college entrance examination scores do not reach a batch of undergraduate control scores, the preferential policies for independent enrollment will automatically become invalid. Therefore, when choosing a school, students must take into account the fierce competition in the college entrance examination in their provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government and their possible college entrance examination results. For example, a student who has passed Peking University's independent enrollment examination can get 20 points according to Peking University's policy of independent enrollment this year, but the actual score of this student's college entrance examination is only 30 points higher than the undergraduate control line, and Peking University's annual promotion line is 80-90 points higher than the undergraduate control line where his household registration is located. As a result, I still can't go to Peking University, but it is more than enough to go to another prestigious school with this classmate's college entrance examination results.
According to the contents of this year's school examination, schools can be divided into four categories. The first type is a school with many subjects and interviews, which is more suitable for candidates with strong comprehensive ability, but we should pay attention to the strategy in choosing schools. For example, some schools only take three main courses: Chinese, Mathematics and English. For some students, these are not their own strengths, and physics is his specialty, so you can consciously apply to some schools that take physics exams, such as Xi Jiaotong University. The second category is schools that only have written tests without interviews, such as East China University of Science and Technology. Some students are shy and not good at dealing with people, so they can choose to enroll in these schools. The third category is schools that only have interviews without written tests, such as Central South University, which is more suitable for students who are lively and good at dealing with people. Students should fully consider their own advantages when choosing schools, so as to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. The fourth category is that you only need to send the prepared materials to the university you want to apply for, without any written test and interview, which requires candidates to have strong hardware (award certificates and the like) as the backing, such as Xiamen University. The distance between the examination place and your own area is also a problem worthy of attention. Most of the self-enrollment exams are held in our school. It is very likely that you need to take a train or even fly to catch up, which will inevitably delay the review arranged by many schools. Take our class as an example. During the self-enrollment examination, more than half of the class took time off to take exams in various schools for two weeks, leaving only a dozen students in the class. However, in order to facilitate candidates, some colleges and universities will arrange multiple test sites throughout the country to facilitate candidates. Other schools, such as South China University of Technology and Xiamen University, only require candidates to send their own information. After passing the exam, even if you enroll students independently, you don't need to take any written tests and interviews.
You can choose multiple schools (except Jiangsu Province) to enroll students independently, and it takes a lot of time and energy to inquire about the enrollment policies of each school online, so parents can collect school information for you. But in the end, candidates should decide which school to go to to take the independent entrance examination. After all, going to college is your own business, and the wishes of candidates should be fully respected.

Please pay attention to the enrollment regulations and information on the school website in 2008, or consult the Admissions Office directly.
Second, the preparation materials.
Universities generally require candidates to send resumes and self-statements (most schools also require copies of award-winning certificates and transcripts of three years of high school). It is particularly important to decide whether students are qualified to take the exam through screening and prepare a self-statement that can fully show their strengths and talents. In self-presentation, we should seek truth from facts and not exaggerate the facts at will. A classmate can only speak a few words of Japanese, so he said in his self-report that he can speak fluent Japanese. The interviewer interviewed him in Japanese, but the classmate couldn't answer a word. The final result can be imagined. Some students are too modest to attract the teacher's attention in their self-statements, which is also undesirable. What I want to remind you here is that you should give full play to your advantages in self-presentation. Of course, it is not to discourage you from being modest, but to ask everyone to take care of the temperature. In your self-statement, you can write down your attitude and ideas about the university, your personal interests and hobbies, and your specialties. If you want to develop in any way, you must write it in a personalized way, so that the judges in the first instance can distinguish you from others after reading it. If there is an interview in this college where you are going to enroll yourself, the interviewer's questions have a lot to do with the content of this article. Try to show what you are good at in the article, so that the interviewer may ask.
Third, review before the exam
The independent entrance examination is conducted before the college entrance examination. How to balance the self-enrollment examination and college entrance examination review is extremely important. The written test questions of self-enrollment will be different because of the different disciplines that universities focus on. Some comprehensive universities with outstanding liberal arts may take more liberal arts knowledge in the exam. There are some differences between the textbooks used in middle schools in Shanghai and the textbooks published by PEP. Therefore, the examination papers issued by most colleges and universities in Shanghai will inevitably make it difficult for candidates who study the textbooks published by People's Education Press. In addition, English test questions in Shanghai universities have a large vocabulary, and science test questions are somewhat more difficult than those in foreign universities. The difficulty of examination questions in most schools is within the range of college entrance examination. As long as the basic skills are solid, you don't have to worry about failing the independent entrance examination, but it doesn't rule out that some colleges and universities will have many questions within the scope of the competition examination.
When candidates want to take the independent entrance examination, there is still a thorny problem: there is some conflict between preparing for the independent entrance examination and the review plan arranged by the teacher. At that time, my policy was to temporarily disrupt the school plan. After all, I missed the opportunity of self-enrollment. But some of my classmates didn't prepare deliberately, because the content of the exam came from the textbook. They learn knowledge well from their teachers and benefit from it everywhere. These students finally passed the independent entrance examination. In a word, different people have different opinions. Please consider which one to grasp first. You must not lose your plan because of independent enrollment. In the end, you not only failed the independent entrance examination, but also failed the college entrance examination.
Fourth, the examination matters needing attention
Candidates should not be afraid of the self-enrollment exam, it is just an exam, which is not much different from the usual exam. However, it is worth noting that many schools have increased psychological tests, mainly to check whether candidates are psychologically healthy. Under normal circumstances, candidates can pass the exam, so they should face it with a normal heart without any psychological pressure.
Pay attention to the interview. The interview can be roughly divided into two forms: one is that many teachers ask questions around a student, and the other is that the students are grouped in advance to discuss the questions raised by the teachers freely. The teacher observes the leadership and organizational abilities of the students during the discussion, and the professor does not ask questions. Northwestern Polytechnical University adopts the former method. I was assigned to the mathematical physics group and asked me some questions about mathematical physics. Other interest groups mainly ask about your hobbies. The interview I attended started with an English interview. First, I introduced myself in English, and then the teacher asked me questions in English. Then a teacher asked me a math concept that I hadn't learned. Ask yourself what you haven't learned in order to better examine your analytical ability, innovative ability and way of thinking. Northwestern Polytechnical University has better space navigation, and a teacher asked me about space knowledge. Be sure to show your advantages as much as possible in the conversation, guide the professor in the direction you know, and let him ask questions in these areas. Be polite, don't be nervous, try not to be cold, you may ask some professional questions, but it won't be deep. If you can't remember how to answer at the moment, then say something related to this first, don't keep silent (this is a big taboo), and think about how to answer. Be sincere, pretend to understand, keep a gentle attitude, and don't say too much unless you really know so much. In short, believe in yourself and relax during the interview.
Some schools have two days of exams, plus the time to report in advance, and the battle line is long, which will delay many classes. At this time, we should find a good way to save time. I asked my dad to sign me up before the exam. He applied first, so I could take the exam directly, saving me a day. Besides, my father went first and has arranged the hotel. I just need to concentrate on the exam and don't have to look for a place to live with my family.
Taking the independent entrance examination, taking the train and staying in a hotel is not small. When looking for a hotel, I suggest you look around inside and outside the school and choose the right one. As for food, it is best to choose the student canteen on campus, because the restaurant is open to students and the price of vegetables is generally not too expensive. It should also be noted that it is best to buy a return ticket as soon as you get off the train. Several of my classmates stayed in Beijing for several days when they went to Beijing for exams. In some areas, you can buy half-price tickets with your student ID card. If you go to a distant place for an exam, the price of a train ticket is similar to that of a half-price ticket.
Fifth, the mentality adjustment after the exam.
Students will find that the day of college entrance examination is not far away after enrolling students independently. At this time, you must not wait anxiously for the result. You should know that this is only a step of the long March, not the terminal. Review effectively according to the plan. If you are lucky and pass the independent enrollment after your grades come out, don't get carried away, because even if you pass the independent enrollment exams in many colleges and universities, your college entrance examination scores have not passed a line, then all your efforts are equal to zero.
Don't mind too much if your classmates pass the independent enrollment. Probably because you are not acclimatized, you are too tired to run around, and those days are uncomfortable, which leads to your abnormal performance. Besides, this is not the college entrance examination after all. At this time, you should look at the excellent qualities of the students who have passed the exam and "learn from the teachers" so as to make continuous progress. Don't be discouraged, which will affect the review.
Sixth, end the pre-recording work.
After the self-enrollment examination, some schools also require the signing of a good faith agreement, requiring that when filling in the college entrance examination volunteers, the first choice must apply for the school in order to truly pass the self-enrollment examination.
Not every candidate can benefit from independent enrollment. Some students will find that they didn't use the preferential policy of self-enrollment in the end. Some students are afraid to apply for other better schools when they volunteer because they passed the self-enrollment exam, so their scores are enough to go to a better school. But there are always some students who make good use of the preferential policies of independent enrollment. In a word, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Do you want to participate in independent enrollment? I hope you will think twice before you act, and don't blindly follow the trend.
Advanced lecture
Wang, a Shandong examinee, is now admitted to a university in Guangdong.
I participated in the independent enrollment of several universities.
Interview questions are mostly about personal cultivation, moral quality, leadership, literature and so on. Every year is different, and there is a big difference. You can search online for subject references over the years. Most questions are asked on the spur of the moment according to your conversation, so preparation is of little use.
Liu, a Henan examinee, is now admitted to a university in Ann.
I think self-enrollment requires a high English vocabulary, and it is best to reach CET-4. The difficulty of mathematics and physics depends on the school. Among the independent enrollment of several universities I participated in, the examination questions of China University of Science and Technology are the most difficult, and many of them are within the scope of the competition outline. But this is only the difficulty of last year's exam, and it is not clear what this year's exam will be. If you want to take the independent entrance examination, you can refer to the difficulty of the school's papers in previous years.
Shanghai examinee section is now admitted to a university in Shanghai.
I participated in Fudan's independent enrollment. I signed up for Fudan University's independent enrollment online. The initial test requires a resume, a three-year mid-term final grade and a composition of 1500 words. My topic that year was My College Dream. If I passed the preliminary examination, I could take the written examination. Written test ***200 multiple-choice questions, covering foreign languages, politics, history, geography, physics and chemistry, computer 10. There are many aesthetic problems in Chinese, but the foreign language problems of mathematics are more difficult. The examination time is 3 hours. After the written test, there will be an interview. Candidates will enter five rooms and talk with five professors, one professor 15 minutes and the other professor ***75 minutes. Then there will be a forum where a professor and his classmates exchange their feelings, and then write a questionnaire to fill in their career aspirations. The whole enrollment for nearly half a year will definitely take up a lot of study time, so you must make a good choice.
Zhao, a candidate from Henan, is now admitted to a university in Beijing.
Try to show your personal expertise and breadth of knowledge in your personal statement. Interviewers mostly ask questions based on your personal statement. For example, in my personal statement, I mentioned my love and understanding of The Analects. The interviewer asked me what the Analects of Confucius did to my personal moral cultivation, but because I was nervous at the moment and couldn't remember the sentences inside, I told the general process and feelings of learning the Analects, and at the same time thought about those sentences and then supplemented them. I have written and practiced calligraphy, and the interviewer asked me to evaluate which of the two words in his room is better.

Xi An, a teacher of the Admissions Office of a university.
Everyone must learn to make full use of the preferential policies of the independent entrance examination after passing it. Taking our school as an example, our school promises to enroll candidates who have reached the normal admission score of our school in the local area, and ensure that they are admitted to fill in the first volunteer major in the college entrance examination; Candidates who do not reach the normal admission score of our school but reach the lower score of our school can volunteer for the first three majors in the college entrance examination, but the three majors cannot be the same. In this case, don't worry too much about changing majors, be bold and cautious, and choose three majors you like to fill in.
Teacher of the Admissions Office of a University in Beijing
The difficulty of self-enrollment questions is similar to that of college entrance examination questions. You don't have to prepare anything. Your knowledge in your textbooks is very solid, so it is natural to pass the independent entrance examination.
Xi An, a teacher of the Admissions Office of a university.
Although our school adopts the policy of lowering scores for students who pass the independent entrance examination, after the division of the minimum scores of college entrance examinations in some provinces, the admission scores of our school are basically the same as a number of undergraduate control lines, which is essentially equivalent to the policy that students who pass the independent entrance examination and the college entrance examination is not lower than a number of local undergraduate control lines can be admitted.
Teacher of the Admissions Office of a University in Nanjing
There are two kinds of students who are easy to benefit from independent enrollment. The first category is students with academic expertise, excellent college entrance examination results and obvious development potential; The second category is candidates who have made outstanding achievements in humanities, scientific and technological innovation and practical ability, and have higher quality and ability.

Senior teacher of a senior high school in Henan Province
Students frequently go out for exams, which will definitely affect the normal college entrance examination review. If you fail in the exam, it will also cause a great blow to students' psychology. Teachers advise parents or students to apply for independent enrollment according to their own abilities, and not to apply for too many schools.
Director of the Academic Affairs Office of a high school in Shandong.
Candidates should not put too much energy into independent enrollment. The main way for students to enter the university is the college entrance examination. Now is the critical period for senior three to review. It takes a week to go to a foreign university to take the independent entrance examination. In addition, it is difficult for students to concentrate. If their study plan is disrupted because of independent enrollment, it will not be worth the candle.
