Give some suggestions to the postgraduate entrance examination.
First, do not break, do not stand-the misunderstanding of postgraduate entrance examination
Before entering the formal topic, we should clarify a few misunderstandings to avoid going astray. Note that the following are all wrong propositions. As for why they are wrong, don't worry, there will be an explanation later.
1, the misunderstanding of English
"When reading, you must finish reading this article."
"I am not good at cloze. It's over. English is over this time. "
2. Political misunderstanding
"Politics doesn't need to be seen at ordinary times, and the last class before the exam will be on."
"Political censorship doesn't have to be done early;"
"Don't review before the new outline comes down;"
"It's easier to pass the political exam;"
"By betting, you can pass the postgraduate entrance examination."
3. Mistakes in Mathematics
"Mathematics is a high score only if it is completed completely."
"Choose to fill in the blanks, the score is small and boring. You can get high marks if you do big questions. "
Second, the preparation and explanation of the postgraduate review
No matter what you do, it is very important to prepare in advance. What should I prepare specifically after I make up my mind to take the postgraduate entrance examination of Tsinghua Civil Engineering?
First of all, the overall arrangement of time should be proper. The early bird catches the worm. If you are going to take the civil engineering exam in Tsinghua, you must do it early, so that you can have enough time to review and adjust. Basically, you will decide to take the Tsinghua exam in March or April at the latest. My overall schedule is as follows: the first stage (basic review), which basically lasts from April to August, mainly focuses on mathematics and English. Specialized courses and politics rarely take time. Everyone knows that math and English are time-consuming, and it is difficult to learn well without putting in some time and energy. The second stage (key review) basically lasts from September-1 1. Review your math and English, and then you will make a breakthrough in your key points, difficulties and weaknesses. After a while, it will be very rewarding. You will start to watch political and professional courses, and you will gradually enter the state in three months. The time spent on specialized courses may not be much in the whole postgraduate entrance examination process, but it must be remembered that it accounts for a large proportion and must be highly valued; The third stage (sprint stage), the duration is basically 65438+February. The importance of this month is self-evident. After the above full preparation, you can relax and meet the coming exam. This month, I mainly review political and professional courses, because these two courses are the most time-sensitive. Of course, we should still look at math and English in our spare time, do general exercises, write English compositions, and keep the previous review level.
Secondly, you must choose your own volunteers. If you have decided in your mind that you can't go to Tsinghua to study civil engineering, you can skip this paragraph. The following words are aimed at those brothers and sisters who are still hesitant to apply for any school.
Before deciding to become a volunteer, there are the following points to consider:
1. The threshold of civil engineering in Tsinghua is still relatively high. There are a large number of outstanding civil engineering talents here, and many college talents like you are ready to try their hand and show their talents. Therefore, only if you have considerable strength (you should be in the top third of the school) can you hope to win a blog.
2. The scores of civil engineering majors in Tsinghua are different. You can choose a suitable major according to your own strength and hobbies. It must be noted that the fractional line is only the minimum requirement. If you are a popular tutor in steel structure or concrete major, such as Nie Jianguo, Shi Yongjin, Ye Lieping, etc. Your grades must be within the top ten (or higher) of the whole civil engineering department, and once rejected by the first major, it is more difficult to transfer to another major, usually other majors have been filled in.
Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable starting point. To some extent, this is the key to the success of the postgraduate entrance examination. Therefore, my choice is to learn more about the research direction, enrollment and employment prospects of civil engineering majors through my classmates and seniors who have already studied in Tsinghua, and then make the final choice according to my own strength and interest.
3. If it is a cross-disciplinary postgraduate entrance examination, such as the Department of Engineering Mechanics, the Department of Water Conservancy, etc., are you crazy? Didn't four years of college go for nothing? No, actually, think about it. How much time did you really get in touch with professional courses during your four years in college? Maybe junior year, next semester, senior year. If you major in the above two majors, most of the professional basic courses are no different from civil engineering, while the professional courses (concrete and steel structure) are cancelled in the postgraduate entrance examination of the Department of Civil Engineering, as long as you take the professional basic courses (structural mechanics or others). So as long as you work hard, there is no problem at all. The key is to hurry up. There are graduate students recommended by the Department of Water Conservancy in our teaching and research group, and their quality is quite high, so it is no problem to adapt to the scientific research work here.
Third, the experience and methods of reviewing specialized courses for postgraduate entrance examination
First of all, let's talk about the professional setting of civil engineering graduate students in Tsinghua. The College of Civil Engineering and Water Conservancy is divided into Civil Engineering and Management Department and Water Conservancy Department. Civil construction and management system is divided into: civil engineering and management system. Graduate students in the Department of Civil Engineering are divided into five classes: structural engineering, structural mechanics, disaster prevention, mitigation and protection engineering, and measurement and transportation of building materials. The Department of Civil Engineering in Tsinghua does not offer remedial classes, nor does it buy exam questions over the years. Can only be obtained through internal channels. So if you have high school students or junior high school students in Tsinghua, you must give full play to your popularity advantage, so that you can be more sure than others.
To review specialized courses, taking structural mechanics as an example, we should focus on two textbooks edited by Long Yuqiu and Bao Shihua. Although the principle of structural mechanics is universally applicable, the emphasis of different textbooks will be different. Of course, Tsinghua will get his own characteristics in the structural mechanics exam, so he should choose the designated textbook for review. Tsinghua's structural mechanics emphasizes the mastery of basic concepts (for example, the principle of virtual work must be firmly grasped, and sometimes the problem is solved without thinking about the principle of virtual work), and the requirements for calculation are second. When training at ordinary times, we must take the spirit of thorough understanding as the main theme, don't spend a lot of time doing strange questions, remember! What is clear here is that all questions involving differentiation and integration will not be tested, so you can skip the complicated questions of calculus without affecting the final exam results.
Fourth, the mentality adjustment of postgraduate review
"Five out of ten people are seriously reviewing, three of them can stick to the exam, and only one of the three who stick to the exam will stick to it. Finally admit this person. "
This sentence is very popular among graduate students. Although it is exaggerated, in the end, you will find that this view is surprisingly correct. Think about this sentence when you want to give up.
Persistence is the greatest secret of success in postgraduate entrance examination.
At the beginning of the review, if I ask you what you think is the biggest difficulty in your postgraduate entrance examination, you may say that math is too difficult to learn, or there are too many English words to memorize, or you know nothing about politics, or the foundation of professional courses is too poor to handle. But as you continue to review (carefully, of course) and the exam approaches, you will find that our biggest enemy is not the above, but forgetting.
We obviously learned a lot of knowledge and recited a lot of words, but after a few days, we were too embarrassed to look for it and forgot it. At this time, many people will lose confidence and start to give up. If you want to be admitted, there is only one thing you can do, stick to it.
Repetition is the best cure for forgetting. Repeat what you have learned over a period of time, and after a few times, you will remember it firmly. But it's easier said than done. Repetition is a painful process and a torment. Therefore, we must learn to adjust our mentality, listen to music, play ball games, and take a look at the postgraduate entrance examination, all of which are good adjustment methods.
Five, some test-taking skills for postgraduate entrance examination
Here I only talk about some skills of English test. Because my English is poor, I have pondered many skills for this course.
Let's talk about the order of doing the questions first. A good sequence of questions can improve your score by at least five points. For English, you can look at the topic of your composition first, so that there is such a thing in your subconscious, and maybe at some time, inspiration will come out in generate. And when doing other topics, you can also pay attention to see if there are any usable words, phrases, sentence patterns and so on. After reading the composition topic, you can start reading. After reading it, do translation. Then write a composition. Finally, cloze. The reason why the gestalt is put at the end is because the score of the gestalt question is too small, only 0.5 points, and it is not worth spending a lot of time on it.
Then let's talk about the allocation of examination time. Once the time is allocated, you can do the questions calmly. The listening time is only 30 minutes and cannot be changed. The reading time of the highlight of the exam is about 15 minutes (including the problem), and the four articles add up to one hour. The time for five translations should be controlled within 30 minutes, that is, about 6 minutes for one question. Generally, you should set aside 40 minutes for your composition, otherwise you will be very nervous. Do the gestalt the rest of the time. About 20 minutes. Don't hesitate on a gestalt question. Only 0.5 points is not worth it. Don't forget, it takes four gestures to read together. In addition, the last five minutes of the exam are "garbage time", so don't expect to do anything earth-shattering with these five minutes. Check whether all the names and test numbers are written correctly.
Finally, talk about the method of doing reading questions. It has been said that reading is to grasp the author's intention and the structure of the article. Let's talk about the method of doing the problem. First of all, we must understand this point: "The focus of postgraduate reading is not on the article, but on the problem."
To give an inappropriate but telling example, reading is like giving you a few words, giving you a dictionary, and then asking you to look up the meaning of these words. What would you do? Should I look at the dictionary first and then those words, or look them up by words? The answer is self-evident.
It is suggested to use the method of "interspersed questions to find answers" to do reading questions, that is, to get an article, first look at the first topic (because the topics are generally arranged in the order of the article, and the answer to the first question is often at the beginning of the paragraph), circle the key words of the question, without looking at the options. Then start reading the article, find the answer to the first question, answer after finding it, look at the title of the second question, circle the keywords, continue to look up in the article, find the answer, look at the title of the third question, and so on. The advantage of this is that you can read the article with questions, with a strong purpose, not blindly, only one question at a time, and the burden is not heavy. If there are any details in the topic, pass them on first, and then read the article after other topics are finished. At this time, clean up.
