I began to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination in the winter vacation of my junior year. Don't be frightened by this time. I simply checked the major of the school, but because I was too annoyed, I rashly decided to take the Nankai exam. As for the real review, it started in July of the summer vacation.
About choosing a school for postgraduate entrance examination
In fact, when I decided to enter the School of Life Sciences of Nankai University, I felt that from the heart, it was more a pursuit of dreams, because Nankai University was Premier Zhou's alma mater. I think when choosing a school, in addition to some realistic considerations, we should also think about where we want to go and what we want to do in the future, whether for graduate school, regret or ideal. I like Nankai University very much. I have been there many times and yearned for it countless times. There is a saying that "people must pursue something in this life." The feeling I share is not to encourage everyone to apply for a good school blindly, but to tell you that some people have been sticking to their dreams. If you are also struggling for your dream at this time, you should remember that you are not alone. The road to postgraduate entrance examination is long and lonely, and it is best to get the full support of parents and family. In the process of preparing for the exam, I have had countless anxieties. Every time I choose to chat with my parents or play football to relax myself.
Postgraduate entrance examination specialized courses:
Nankai University needs to take biochemistry and cell biology. Since 2022, the second specialized course has been unified as cell biology. The reference book is the third edition of Modern Biochemistry by Huang Xitai and Zhai Zhonghe.
Cell biology author Ding, fourth edition.
The fifth edition will do.
Be sure to read the reference books above and read all the places clearly. In previous years, the specialized courses in Nankai were very detailed, and the specific types of questions were: fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple-choice questions, true and false questions, noun explanation questions, short-answer questions and essay questions. Like multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions and true-false questions, these are all words in the exam book, which can be written after careful reading. Other noun explanation questions, short-answer questions and essay questions all need good endorsement.
In fact, the topic is very difficult for everyone, but I think we should relax. Without writing a word, the teacher can't give points if he wants to, can he? I think it is very important to take notes in specialized courses, but it is meaningless to take notes directly, which is equivalent to holding the back of the book directly. I have been reading books in the early stage and started taking notes in the summer vacation, but I obviously feel that I have a deeper understanding than just reading books in the early stage. I started to take notes of specialized courses from May 438+10, and I have been reciting them all the time in the later period, with great effect. No matter how flexible the topics of specialized courses are, two reference books are fundamental and the most basic things, which will not change since our ancestors. Only when you are skilled can you learn and use it!
In the process of preparing for specialized courses, forgetting is very painful. It is very common to recite the knowledge points that I just finished the day before yesterday, but I can't remember them at all this year. Don't worry, everyone who takes the postgraduate entrance examination has come from this step. Since you forget, you can forget your back. Repeated memory is very important.
Politics for Postgraduate Entrance Examination: I just started studying politics in the summer vacation and have been reading Xu Tao's books. Although I am a science student, I don't reject politics at all. On the contrary, I like studying it very much. I follow Mr. Xu Tao's course step by step and complete my daily study tasks step by step. In the process, I often review. Finally, I got 75+ in the political examination, which is already very high. The biggest experience is that it is a bit hasty to start preparing politics in the summer vacation, followed by professional courses and English composition, which is a bit dragged down by politics. So you'd better start early.
By the way, I'll give you a small coup to save money, that is, Xiao Xiurong buys several sets separately, because she won't send them at first. Politics is different from others, that is, we have to wait for current events and wait until a certain time. I bought Xiao Xiurong in June and Xiao four shaw didn't get it until eight o'clock in February. Therefore, you can not buy a whole set first, and then go to salted fish search to buy it after a book is released, so it takes about 40 to 50 yuan to buy a whole set. I was stupid and stupid. 150+ bought it. It hurts so much. Besides, Xiao Si Xiao has done it several times. You can buy it with salted fish. A Xiao Si is 10 yuan. Of course, of course, if you have money, you must support the original and buy a whole set.
Postgraduate English:
Review stage
1, basic stage:
Time: early May-end of June
Task: This stage focuses on English words and postgraduate grammar.
The specific tasks are: Watch the video class on English 5500 outline words for postgraduate entrance examination. It takes 2 hours a day 1 set, which takes about 30 days. Follow-up takes "month" as the unit, and review twice a month, that is, review two units every day. Take an online grammar course for postgraduate entrance examination, and take notes after reading the course before April. Do the reading part of the real questions from 2002 to 2008, mark all the words you don't know, and repeat the words in the context so as to remember them better.
2. Strengthening stage:
Time: early July-10.
Task: This stage focuses on English real questions, which is helpful to recite English words. ? English real questions training, set aside the real questions in the last 6 years in advance as the pre-test simulation in the sprint stage. Use the truth of postgraduate entrance examination, and the real questions in the remaining years are in weeks, keeping the speed of a set of English real questions in a week. All compositions should be done except big and small compositions. At this stage, students taking English II suggest using the real questions of English I as review materials. A set of real English questions should be done every week: mark every word you don't know; Draw and analyze the sentence structure of long and difficult sentences; Read the whole article and feel the logic of writing; Analyze the reasons for the misunderstanding of the topic and summarize the skills of doing it;
3. Sprint stage:
Time:165438+1early October-the first entrance examination.
Task:? Summarize the writing framework of English large and small compositions, recite high-quality sentences and enrich the composition corpus. In the last six years, we have carried out a whole set of simulations (including large and small compositions), strictly controlled the time of doing the questions, trained the speed of answering questions, trained the skills of doing the simulated questions, and finally checked for missing items. Review the real questions and options in the past 20 years.
If you can't recite the words systematically, then look at the real questions directly. This is the same as a specialized course. No matter how much you recite, you can't understand the real question at first, but you just have to do it.
Taobao sells English translation books for postgraduate entrance examination. For the first time, I did a real English question, translated all the sentences into the book, marked the words that could not be used directly on the real question with a highlighter, and wrote the Chinese meaning. Recite words with real questions every day. 2005-2020 is over, don't throw it away, keep it all, this is your English learning materials.
Taobao sells real English questions, and 9.9 yuan has 20 sets of real English questions. Buy another one. Brush the real questions for the second time. This time, mark the English words that you can't use with a highlighter, and don't write the Chinese meaning. Look at the correct answer against the paper you made for the first time. Finish a set, take out a set, and think about Chinese by looking at the words marked with fluorescence.
This method applies not only to words, but also to grammar and sentences. Mark all the wrong reasons and ways of thinking on the first English paper and review it every day. If you don't know it twice, mark it, find the answer from the first set of papers, and look at the blank of the second set of papers every day to think about the correct answer by yourself.
These are the methods that I think are more effective. You can look more and find a learning method that suits you. Try to use English real questions more than three times.
Postgraduate entrance examination specialized courses: The specialized courses of biology major in Nankai University are 707 biochemistry and 828 cell biology, and there are two books, modern biochemistry and cell biology.
In the process of preparing for specialized courses, forgetting is very painful. It is very common to recite the knowledge points that I just finished the day before yesterday, but I can't remember them at all this year. Don't worry. Everyone who took the postgraduate entrance examination came from this step. Now that you have forgotten it, forget to recite it. Repeated memory is very important.
I started reading biochemistry and cell textbooks in mid-April. At that time, I read a lot of experience posts and found that many people would ask me to take notes, so I planned to read the two books in almost two months and then take detailed notes in each chapter. At first, there were two chapters on biochemistry and two chapters on cells, and each chapter was filled with five or six pages of notes. At that time, I felt that all books were the focus, and I didn't want to let go of a knowledge point. I can't wait to copy this book. Later, I really couldn't write any more, so I began to choose writing. From the beginning, you have to think carefully, and then you scribble books, and there are too many contents. Besides, I can't finish my scheduled goals every week. It took me a long time to review in the first round.
So my feeling in the first round of review is that if you start early and have a certain foundation in your freshman and sophomore year, you can review in detail in the first round, and then pick the key points to sort out your notes. As a person with no foundation, I'd better not take detailed notes in every chapter, because I don't know the key points at all. Looking at my previous notes now, most of them are not the focus, and the review time will be long and painful, and I want to give up.
Although I found that this method of taking notes (copying books) didn't seem to suit me, I didn't want to do it halfway at first, but I gritted my teeth and insisted on writing the last chapter. It was already mid-July. Although after a round of review, I feel that I have forgotten everything in front of me, but I firmly believe that my efforts will definitely pay off. Maybe I didn't remember many knowledge points this time, but at least the whole framework of biochemical cells has been established in my mind. In a word, I still don't recommend taking notes throughout the book. Efforts will pay off, but perhaps the return will not be obvious and will not be reflected in the substantive promotion after a round. After one round, you can start to brush your exercise books and do the real questions.
Biochemical: the notes of the whole book don't need to be sorted out. Just pick the key points when you pass it the first time, because you will forget it if you pass it too carefully. I think it's best to read this book several times at the same time. I haven't started to do the problem yet. Maybe what you review carefully is not the point, and what you think is not the point. After reading a book, you can use a workbook to strengthen your memory, but this workbook is not the last key point, so you have no time to do it. Then it's almost time to brush the teacher's instructions and real questions. Every time you finish a set of papers, you should carefully mark the answers in the book where you missed them, because the exam is really very detailed, and sometimes it is difficult to find the corresponding knowledge points in the book, so if you have senior notes or books with notes, you may get twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, it is recommended to sort out the finished questions more than twice, and you can still find a lot when you look at the answers the first time and the second time. What you didn't understand before, like mine clearance, should be clarified in every corner, every question and every sentence.
Cell: Cell, when I study, I also read the textbooks first, and then look at the key points of each chapter in combination with the video of Sichuan University in Mu's class. At that time, I was really obsessed with taking notes in biochemistry, so from my experience, it is not recommended to take notes when there are few cells. After finishing the questions, I will sort out the answers directly.
The unit workbook recommends these two.
What we should pay attention to in the last one to two months of biochemistry is to sort out the knowledge points that are easy to make mistakes and difficult to memorize and some knowledge points that you didn't notice before. Biochemistry is not like cells. Every question is comprehensive and long. Nankai biochemical style is a very detailed knowledge point for each question, and there are many test sites in the whole volume. So in the final sprint stage, the focus of biochemistry is the ending. These tiny knowledge points are easily overlooked, pointing out a group of error-prone knowledge points.
Finally, you can recite the big questions of cell memorization chapter by chapter according to the knowledge points in each chapter of this workbook, and form a systematic and comprehensive cell knowledge system in your mind (instead of being as detailed and scattered as biochemistry).
Re-examination experience
Before 2022, the film line of the School of Life Sciences, that is, the retest score line, has been around 320 points. For example, 202 1, the movie line is 325 points, and in 2022, the movie line rose to 345 points, a sharp increase of 20 points. As can be seen from this year's form, the difficulty of biology examination in the College of Life Sciences is increasing year by year. In previous years, 5-8 people were re-examined in microbiology research direction, and this year, 7 people were re-examined in microbiology research direction 1 1:29, which is close to 1:3. It was about 13:20 in previous years. The difficulty of Nankai biology postgraduate entrance examination should only increase in the future.
In recent years, the competition of biology (master's degree) in Nankai University has gradually increased. Students who plan to take the biology exam of Nankai University (07 1000) must be fully prepared. The initial test is just a stepping stone, and the teacher will not give you more points because of your high score in the initial test. The initial test and retest are divided into 6:4, so the retest is very important and an excellent opportunity to make a comeback. But if you can't get to the cinema for the first time, you can't even get in for the second time. You must set a higher target score for the initial test, and don't just be satisfied with the cinema, so the pressure of the second test will be slightly less.
The initial examination is as important as the second examination. It is suggested that students who are freshmen or sophomores and are not nervous about their study time should follow their tutors to do more projects and articles, and they will get extra points when they re-examine, because the re-examination teachers attach great importance to scientific research, so they must find ways to make themselves brilliant! !
Finally, I attach some photos taken during my postgraduate entrance examination.
Final message
In fact, when I decided to enter Nankai University, many friends around me advised me to change to a more secure school. I always thought it was an unreachable dream, but I was glad that my parents and family never let me give up at any time. They always supported me unconditionally, probably because they all knew the significance of graduate school to me, so even when I was most difficult and anxious, the only thing I didn't change was the goal of entering Nankai. I believe that "the harder I work, the luckier I will be." Come on, take the postgraduate entrance examination! Welcome to Nankai Park!
