Broken thoughts
First post the results and rankings: Xi’an University of Technology Computer Science, first in the first exam, first in the re-examination.
It's been a long time since December of 2020, and I haven't written any experience posts because I started a new scientific research life. At that time, I said that I had to write experience stickers when I was admitted. As a result, I was reluctant to write after a long time. It may be because I didn't want to miss the hard years of last year. Today I recall the experience of last year’s postgraduate entrance examination, and I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
Socrates: "Know yourself".
Let me talk about my basic situation. Undergraduate Northwestern Polytechnical University ranks 30% in my grade. I took the postgraduate entrance examination for the first time in my senior year. I aimed at Beihang Computer. I planned to give up halfway through the year. I only got more than 260 points. . Worked for half a year and resigned during World War II. The reason for the failure of World War I may be that they did not "know yourself" and insisted on taking Beihang University under the circumstance that everyone took the test of this school and their own grades were average. The mentality was first defeated, and later they were completely unwilling to study.
So I evaluated myself during World War II. My mathematics and professional course foundations were pretty good, but English was barely at a level of 6 and a general level of politics. I didn’t set the goal of Tsinghua University and Peking University. I chose an undergraduate school and my mentality immediately became relaxed. I hinted to myself every day that I can pass the exam by just learning, so I am very happy to learn and work hard (9-11 hours a day to study efficiently), and finally achieved good results.
Initial test experience
Overall objective
At the beginning, I set the goal of Beihang Computer for a master's degree. I had to get 400 points in the test. So I set the goal of 130 in mathematics and professional courses, 70 in English and politics, and then set the mathematics choice to fill in the blanks and two big questions. Ask about such a detailed goal (similar to other subjects). In the end, looking back, it was with a clear goal that I had a plan that suits me in terms of learning methods and time allocation, and finally achieved a total score of 404. As this sentence says, "There is a will, there is a way."
Next, I will talk about my learning methods in various subjects in detail:
mathematics
-
I read the textbook intensively in March-April. At that time, I took notes on every chapter. I tried to derive many formulas by myself. The main purpose was to cultivate a kind of mathematical thinking and experience the subtleties of chapter arrangement, examples and solutions in the textbook.
-
Do Zhang Yu’s high number 18 lectures in May, see Zhang Yu’s intensive class
-
In June, I made Li Yongle line generation + Wang Shi’an probability theory booklet tutorial. If you don’t understand the chapters, watch Li Yongle’s video
-
Completed Zhang Yu 1000 questions from July to August.
-
From September until the exam, I entered the rhythm of making papers, an average of two days for a set of papers,
-
11 starts with one set per day. The papers I have done during this period are: Hegong University simulation papers (I bought nearly 10 years, probably made more than 20 sets), 20 years of real questions, Zhang Yu 8 sets, Zhang Yu 4 sets, Li Lin 6 Set of rolls, Li Yongle 6+2.
In mathematics, I think the most important thing is not to give up every question. I dare to say that I have figured out every question in mathematics for postgraduate entrance examinations, so that after I have done more questions, I will have an idea after reading the questions. It is very helpful for teachers/researchers to discuss more questions. During the discussion, you will clarify your own ideas and learn the skills of others.
Regarding the video class, I watched one round when I was laying the foundation, and I didn't watch the video at other times. When I had this time, I could do the questions and reflect on my own, and the things I got through my own thinking were my own. Of course, you must watch the video to understand the things that you don't know, such as the second-type curve integral, the maximum likelihood estimation, etc. I watched a lot of videos until October to understand.
Professional Course
My professional course of choice is Principles of Computer Composition + Operating System. The two courses are very similar. I even merged them into one course. The learning method is mainly reading textbooks + making tutorial books (kingdom, professional tutorial books and question banks bought online). Just like mathematics, I played the question sea tactics. I did simulation questions and real questions for the Wangdao Unified Exam, Beihang University, and Xi'an University of Technology. From April to December, I almost finished the question bank. Since our school is self-proposed, I found many similar questions before in the examination room. After writing for 3 hours, I finally got a high score of 137.
English, politics
My English and politics are only more than 60 points, so I don't speak it so as not to mislead others. But there is a thought that it takes the least time to get the highest scores in these two subjects. For example, I only study politics when I don’t want to study it, study English at night when my efficiency is low, and memorize vocabulary during meals.
Retest experience
For the re-examination, I have prepared for nearly 6 months, watched a lot of re-examination guidance videos, and prepared more than a dozen documents , including the question bank of various professional courses, English question bank... Finally, I passed the ppt of each professional course. Quite adequately, all the questions are basically answered, 95 points.
At that time, a three-person re-examination study group was formed to check in and supervise each other, share information, and summarize weekly progress. I always clocked in at 6 o'clock at first, and then got late and stopped. Haha, the three of us performed very well in the retest and successfully landed.
The retest gave me a big inspiration: if the efficiency is not high, just take time. Because of the epidemic, I have been studying in my room from January to May, and the efficiency is only about 1/3 of the initial test. So I was very anxious, guilty, and afraid of not being admitted (and quarreling with my parents). But in the end the result was very good, and then I thought, it was really time to come out: I play during the day and often learn 1 o'clock at night, and I am still studying. So my friends, it’s okay when the efficiency is low and you don’t want to learn. Everyone is like this. Just spend more time.
life experience
My hobbies: LOL, movies, web development, literature, sociology, running...
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit
In fact, the postgraduate entrance examination is not only the study, but also your living habits, time management, mentality and other factors. In the first battle, I didn't adjust my state well in the later stage, and I collapsed and I was almost depressed. I learned a lot from World War II. I have done a lot in this regard, but I am afraid of repeating the same mistakes. Specifically:
-
Keep running, run 5km 3-4 times a night. It feels great to take a shower after running, and I am very energetic the next day
-
Regular work and rest, go to bed at 11 o'clock in the evening, and start at 7 o'clock in the morning (it will be later in winter)
-
Keep reading, I like reading very much. In order to gain spiritual motivation, I read a lot of famous books. I strongly recommend "The Biography of Celebrities". Other books include "John Christopher", "The Outsider", "Crime and Punishment", "The Kite Chaser" and "The Course of Beauty". I have read Benhua’s "The Wisdom of Life", as well as some books on art, modern history, psychology, economics...Politics, Culture, Astronomy, History, Art and Philosophy. Last year, I wrote more than 100 book reviews on Douban. The spiritual energy drawn in the book helped me achieve first place in the first and second tests. Reading is a lifelong matter. The ability to acquire knowledge, learn to distinguish right from wrong, and to think rationally is more important than the postgraduate entrance examination in my eyes.
-
Calm down, the most important thing is to maintain a stable mind. During the postgraduate entrance examination, I will try to minimize social interactions, keep my heart at peace, and don't be overjoyed and compassionate. I even learned about positive psychology, meditation, etc.
-
Entertainment: When I don’t want to learn, I will go for a run; I don’t want to learn and don’t want to run, I will go to the city to play; when I don’t want to, I will ask my friends to go black, especially the 5 rows every Friday night, which can release stress. . From October to December, I sometimes go to Internet cafes to play for an hour after dinner, listen to music and play Hearthstone, and then go to study. Here’s a reminder, I never thought about games when I was studying, so it’s good and harmless to play games in secret.
In terms of time, you can take a break from 8am to 22am during the week, but the most important thing is to adjust your state when you don’t want to learn. Whether it’s for entertainment or fitness, divert your attention and go back to study, the effect will be better than sitting in the seat It's a lot better to hold on to death.
Finally, the plan is to be set, which is the top priority. I developed a website by myself at that time, and let the fellows go up and submit their own tasks. After completing the check, they can view the learning plans of other friends in real time. The facts proved to be very effective. The learning results are quantified. Hooks are like eating melon seeds, which makes you more motivated for the next task. The project link is here
to sum up
The most difficult part of the postgraduate entrance examination is from October to December. At that time, I felt that I was learning by inertia, without passion and motivation, and it was difficult to implement the previously planned plan. At this time, the study time can be reduced to 8 hours or even 6 hours. Pressure. Because after a year of study, I have learned almost all, so I only need to check the omissions and stabilize the grades. When I was 12, my favorite was to read the articles of famous teachers such as Zhang Yu, Wang Jiangtao, Liu Xiaoyan (strongly recommended), He Kaiwen, etc. in the WeChat public account. At this time, they would encourage relaxation and say, "At this time, everyone is pretending to study. It’s pretty good to study for 4 hours." Such words helped me a lot, and my mentality improved.
Everyone has their own way of learning, and they can find the best way for them, so that they can feel comfortable. The most important point is to learn from yourself and try to compare with yourself (say as much as possible because of the lack of concentration in the later stage, you will ask the fellows how many sets of papers have been made, how many books have been memorized, and are very anxious), your The opponent is not other people, but yesterday's self. In this way, the arduous journey of the postgraduate entrance examination can be completed without arrogance or rashness.
If you have any doubts, you can join the group 943658843 to learn and communicate together. I have a WeChat ghnwpu987 or you can leave a message below. I am very enthusiastic.
good luck~
