Recently, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University announced that they would start their own selection and admission in 2008. Independent enrollment in colleges and universities makes the original "one exam for life" more objective and fair, but it also makes candidates, teachers and parents at a loss. How to take "alternative channels" through colleges and universities? In this issue, we invited several senior people who stood out in the independent enrollment of Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University last year, and asked them to lead the candidates who are about to "go out" to embark on the road of independent enrollment examinations of the two universities.

[Self-registration application]

Seize the opportunity and register carefully.

"I think self-enrollment has one more chance than the college entrance examination. You can try it, or you can use it as a training before the college entrance examination. " Li Tao, a freshman majoring in communication engineering at Fudan University, was admitted to the independent entrance examination of Fudan University last year. He said, "Generally, Fudan University, Jiaotong University and other universities have announced their enrollment plans during this period. As long as candidates pay a little attention and don't miss the online registration time, they will have the opportunity to take the written test. "

Although many colleges and universities do not set conditions in the registration process, this is not "fishing for food in the basket". Candidates should also be prepared for the unsuccessful registration of the independent entrance examination, otherwise it will affect the mood of the college entrance examination. "Before signing up, I still sought the advice of the class teacher." Ding, a freshman majoring in journalism who also stood out in Fudan's independent enrollment last year, said that after all, there is a difference between the independent enrollment examination and the college entrance examination. If you spend too much time preparing this, it will cause stress. "At that time, many students in the class signed up, and the teacher also advised everyone not to worry." Since you are not sure whether you can get in, even if you sign up, don't put all your bets on it. You have to review for the college entrance examination step by step.

[Self-enrollment written test]

Doing a problem is like "running a marathon"

Students who have participated in the self-enrollment examination will never forget the feeling of "marathon running" in the written test. "At that time, the first test paper had 200 questions, all of which were multiple-choice questions, covering ten subjects, including Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, geography, history, biology, politics and computer. The time was three hours." Li Tao recalled that when he took the written examination of Fudan's independent enrollment, he still felt a little "out of breath". "I hardly wasted a minute to solve the problem, but there are still many problems I don't have time to do." After leaving the examination room, I heard that many students didn't have time to do it, which made Li Tao feel a little relieved. "I chose physics at that time, and many of the ten subjects were high school and even junior high school knowledge that had been' lost'. Coupled with tight time, many problems just have to choose to give up the principle. " Many candidates who have participated in Fudan's independent enrollment have said that the test questions are more difficult than the college entrance examination.

"In fact, it is necessary to have a strategy to achieve good results in the written test stage." Ding said that from last year's test paper, there were 200 pen questions1* *1000, with 5 points for each question. Among them, you get 5 points if you answer correctly, 2 points if you answer incorrectly, and no points if you don't answer. "This means that you can't do it, and you can't get the answer. Once the answer is wrong, it will affect the total score. " Ding suggested that before preparing for the written test, review the subjects you don't touch. When reviewing, don't focus on solving a certain topic, but grasp the overall context of knowledge and try to be confident in ten subjects. "Of course, if you can find some cross-disciplinary review materials during the review, you may get twice the result with half the effort. But also help to jump quickly in different subjects during the exam. "

For the "marathon" exam, people who have come over have also said that if you want to win the battle, you have to rely on peacetime. "It only took two days to review and browse other unfamiliar subjects before the written test, but in fact, in the process of doing the questions, there are not many memories of reviewing before the test." Li Tao said, for example, in Chinese questions, some questions found typos; Most English questions are reading comprehension; Political topics even turn current political news into topics. "I think these topics depend on your usual accumulation, and it may be difficult to cram temporarily."

[Self-enrollment Interview]

Get through the "interview risk"

Many excellent candidates got high marks in the written test, but they were eliminated in the interview. So how does the self-enrollment interview "big waves wash sand"?

"I think the interview tests the candidate's mentality more than the written test." Ding said that within 15 minutes, he would face five examiners one by one and immediately answer the examiners' questions. If we are not stumped, it seems that we should be fully prepared. "The examiner will ask questions according to your previous major. I reported to the journalism department, and an examiner asked me a lot of current affairs questions. For example,' What do you think of the current education system in China' and so on. These questions must be based on your concern and concern for current news. "

In addition to accumulating knowledge in peacetime, you should be confident and frank in dealing with the examiner's questions during the interview. "I think if you want to win the favor of the examiner in the interview, you must be confident first, and then honest." Li Tao said that you can't be sure that every question can be answered correctly, especially some questions with no standard answer. It often tests your thinking ability more than the answer itself. Li Tao said, "For example, if the examiner asks you to evaluate a cultural phenomenon and talk about its advantages and disadvantages to the society, you should boldly express your views, regardless of right or wrong. When answering questions, try to be clear and complete in logic. " You don't have to pretend to understand or prevaricate about the problems you can't grasp. "Sometimes it is better to leave a good impression on the examiner by modestly admitting that you still have shortcomings in this respect."

[experienced person]

Everything can be discussed.

In the memory of a netizen of Shanghai Jiaotong University nicknamed "Love in the South of Taoyuan _ Luoshen", the influence of self-enrollment interview on him is that he believes more in a sentence in The Godfather: Everything is negotiable.

He thinks his communication level is still very good, and insists that short-term surprise interviews in humanities and social sciences are difficult to achieve immediate results, so he made little preparation before the interview and naturally did not participate in any special training. I believe that knowledge and ability are accumulated bit by bit at ordinary times and cannot be achieved overnight. Therefore, this interview can be said to have changed his life process to some extent.

In the discussion session, the topic of "Should the head teacher of senior three be more serious or more relaxed" was arranged for netizens. As a result, this netizen thinks differently, insisting that the head teacher in senior three should be more serious, while the other four students think that the head teacher in senior three should be more relaxed. Moreover, this netizen was basically not nervous during the interview and was not afraid to answer the wrong question: "I am not very proficient in this field now. I believe I can answer this question after I enter the university for further study. "

After the interview, the netizen and his parents didn't make a special "resumption". They just chatted a little about the interview content and discussed and exchanged some difficult problems encountered during the interview when they had lunch with their parents after the interview at noon. But that's all. After returning to China, there was basically no discussion.
