For you from two ordinary schools, there are the following universities to try: China University of Mining and Technology, Southeast University, Hohai University, Shandong University of Science and Technology, China Geo University, Southwest Jiaotong University and Chang 'an University. There are others, but they will not be considered if they fail to reach the level. If your English is good, you can consider applying for Central South or Southeast China. If they are both average and practical, you can get rid of these two schools, and so can other schools.
To tell the truth, boys must choose the direction of geodesy instead of painting, which is not suitable and can't make a lot of money. Postgraduate entrance examination is not difficult, but it is certain to have perseverance. At least you have to stay in the library for half a year every day. Otherwise, you can't finish all four exams. Why do you say that? We'll know when we have a chance to take the exam.
Surveying and mapping postgraduate entrance examination we took three public courses, one is politics, the other is English, the other is mathematics ("one" is the difficulty distinction, and surveying and mapping is the most valuable exam), and the other is a professional course. Some schools (such as Wuhan University and University of Mining and Technology) take the basic course of Surveying, while others (such as Tongji University and Hohai University) take the course of Surveying Adjustment. Don't worry about specialized courses. One month's review is enough. The most important thing for half a year is to review math and English. It can be said that how you did in the exam depends on how these two subjects are, and whether you can pass the exam depends on these two subjects. Just sign up for a political punching class, and the teacher will draw the key points, which is absolutely enough, just for one month. Math should be taught by yourself, and you don't need to sign up for classes. It's a waste of time to report to class. You should review advanced mathematics, linear algebra and probability theory. You just need to cross the line in English. It is not a problem to sign up for an intensive class or a punching class.
In short, as long as you can stick to the exam and finish four subjects, you will be stable. Just cross the line and you can go. There are adjustments after the second interview fails. You can always do it. Rest assured.
