Contact the school first, determine the specific school and major, and obtain specific examination information.
If you decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination and determine the general school and major scope, you should contact the school to obtain the latest enrollment information and finally determine the school and major to apply for. There are several ways to obtain professional information:
1, admissions brochure. Generally released in July and August, by the graduate admissions departments (graduate schools, graduate offices) announced. It will list: the name, code, mailing address, postal code and contact number of the enrollment unit; Number of enrollment majors (some are based on the whole specific enrollment unit such as departments, institutes, hospitals and centers, and some are specific to each major); Tutors (some are not published, most of them belong to training); Some will also list the number of entrusted training, at their own expense, etc. , but the number of places to walk and the retention of school status are generally not listed (but this is really important information for candidates); Examination subjects; Reference books used (many schools do not list them, and even if they do, they often list too many or too few books).
Therefore, it can be seen that the information in the enrollment brochures of most enrollment units is far from enough for candidates. These are the most basic information, and the key information is not listed.
2. Instructions issued by the department office and a set of professional course questions. In order to make up for the deficiency of the enrollment brochure, candidates should keep calling to ask for some relevant information. Some enrollment units (usually specific enrollment units such as departments, colleges, institutes, and centers) will issue some special instructions, such as the number of applicants, the number of admissions, the admission ratio, the admission score line, and the bibliography. However, the number of students who walk and keep their school status cannot be announced because they usually have to wait until 165438+.
If the department can publish the examination papers of professional courses in recent years, it will be a great boon for candidates. If you don't see the previous test paper, reviewing for the exam is tantamount to a blind man touching an elephant. But unfortunately, there are still few units that publish test questions. How to find professional test questions depends on personal ability. However, some postgraduate websites have collected many professional topics, which provides great convenience for candidates.
3. Mentor. Being able to get in touch with a mentor and get one or two pointers from him will undoubtedly be even more powerful. But this is not easy, because tutors are usually very busy, even if they are in contact, they should pay attention to each other's communication methods. It is also interesting that many graduate students report that the better the school, the less necessary it is to contact a tutor. Good schools generally have more transparent information, less black-box operations, more standardized questions, and few digressions and strange questions.
I am a graduate student. Compared with tutors, it is better to find some graduate students, provide more "practical" information and speak more realistically. Therefore, I suggest that if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, try to find the postgraduate entrance examination advice, and you will never regret it.
5. Postgraduate entrance examination information released by various print media.
6. Website. If you can surf the Internet, there are many websites for postgraduate entrance examination, which can provide a lot of information.
Second, prepare in advance.
After getting enough professional course information and finding complete review materials, it's time to read and review. Everyone has his own methods about how to review, and there are also some methods that everyone has explored and recognized. As for how to review, such as when to start reviewing, how to review public courses, how to review professional courses, whether to attend remedial classes, and many other issues, it may be necessary to discuss them separately in several articles before making it clear.
Third, registration
The registration time is usually 1 1 month, and in recent years it is 10- 14. When students register, they are registered by the school. On-the-job registration is generally in the school that the Municipal Education Commission has recruited or applied for. You can register in different places, that is, you can register for the exam in different places because of business trips and other reasons.
When applying for registration, you can fill in the first choice and the second choice. The specialized course test questions of the postgraduate examination are the propositions of all enrollment units, so you should take the examination according to your first choice test questions.
Two problems that employees often encounter when applying for the exam are: 1. Many employees don't agree to apply for the exam and don't give letters of introduction. Many of them explained that they must serve the unit for n years when recruiting you for a job. During this period, they are not allowed to transfer schools or take postgraduate exams.
If the unit where the file is located does not agree to open a letter of introduction, how to solve it is a very troublesome thing. Many students found another company with acquaintances to open it, and some even went to the streets to find a secret official seal engraver to sign up. However, it is risky to do so, because after the initial test is passed, the school will send a letter to the unit where the file is located to adjust the file. At this time, if the unit is angry, it will be very difficult. Moreover, the school generally stipulates that if the unit that issued the letter of introduction when applying for the exam is inconsistent with the unit where the file is located, the admission qualification of the candidate will be cancelled.
2. Another problem that many on-the-job personnel encounter is the problem of equal academic ability, that is, how to apply for the exam for college students and candidates below college students. According to the regulations, candidates with the same academic level must have two years' work experience when entering graduate school. For example, a junior college student who graduated in July 20001year can go to graduate school in September 2003. In this case, he can take the postgraduate entrance examination in June 2003 and register in June 2002. He should have started preparing for review long ago, even as soon as he graduated.
One more question. Many schools have other regulations for candidates with the same academic ability, such as requiring CET-4 certificate or publishing papers in related fields. When deciding which school to apply for, candidates must look at the latest enrollment brochure in advance to avoid wasting time.
Fourth, the initial test
The initial test is usually in 1 and February, before the Spring Festival 1 and 2 weeks. The exam lasts for two and a half days, and there are five exams, each lasting three hours. The examination place is generally in the test center set up by the high school admissions office of the prefecture-level city education commission, or in the colleges and universities that enroll students. Candidates can choose these two test sites when registering.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) adjustment
About two weeks after the winter vacation, 1 and the start of school in spring, the results of professional courses almost came out. You can call the department and the admissions office to ask. In 1 and 2 weeks, the results of public courses will also come out. It is very important to send a second interview notice later. If the ranking is not particularly ideal and the admission is ambiguous, it is necessary to contact the applicant (department) and tutor more. I really don't see if it is possible to study entrusted training at my own expense or transfer to another school.
Sixth, the second interview
The second interview is generally around 5. 1, which is generally an equal interview, and a few popular majors will choose the difference second interview. For candidates with the same academic qualifications, the school generally has to conduct a written test on the core courses of this major.
