Why did I take the postgraduate entrance examination

0 When I was at home during my junior year's summer vacation, I was thinking about whether to look for a job, take the civil service exam, or take the postgraduate entrance examination after graduating from my senior year? At that time, after weighing and making decisions at home, I finally chose the path of postgraduate entrance examination. The reasons are as follows: First, because the environmental engineering major is looking for a job after graduating from undergraduate degree, it is difficult to find a more suitable and appropriate job. At that time, I also participated in some double-choice . I found that work was not my ideal, so I gave up the idea of ​​finding a job directly after graduation; Second, because the public examination is the same as the postgraduate entrance examination, and now it is a hot topic. Therefore, I looked at the choice of postgraduate entrance examination and public examination online, and found that the competitiveness of public examination is too great, and I may not be ready to meet it. Under these reasons, after the final decision, I made up my mind to embark on the path of postgraduate entrance examination. I hope to get to know better teachers and classmates through reading graduate school, broaden my career development path, find better jobs, and realize my own value.

First choice of suitable majors and school

First, the major of environmental engineering is a relatively integrated major. You need to know a little about everything, but you don’t need to master it in depth. You need to have a broader knowledge. When choosing this major, I think you need to have a preliminary understanding of the major of environmental engineering. First of all, you need to know what you will do in the future when studying this subject? Are you interested? And if you are willing to engage in related research or teaching in the future. Then I think choosing this subject may be more suitable for you, and later review will be much easier.

Secondly, when choosing a subject, you must also integrate your actual learning ability. For example, you are from a liberal arts, love reading, have strong memory ability, and have an advantage in choosing education, because there is a lot of content that needs to be memorized and joked in later review. If you are very proactive in learning and have your own time plan, then choosing a school with higher scores but better development prospects will have advantages. Of course, if you have average learning ability and your time planning is not that strong, but you can listen to more professional opinions and have strong execution ability. Choosing a professional training institution can also realize your dream of taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

Finally, after the postgraduate entrance examination, you must choose a place to work, so I think the choice of the school should also take into account the city you will develop in the future and accumulate connections and experience in advance. Of course, the registration in each school is different than that in . For example, in some schools, recommends for , so the advantages of social candidates are not so obvious. For example, some schools have restrictions on the majors you study in undergraduate courses, and even schools, undergraduate grades, and these also need to be viewed in advance on the official website of the school you want to know. Some schools even set their own topics, and they may not provide so much information and need to summarize it yourself. Even collecting information. I think these factors are what you should consider in advance when choosing a school.

preliminary review time schedule

▌ Overall review suggestion

Basic stage: Complete before the end of July, complete all the mathematics and professional courses, sort out the framework, and recommend 8 hours a day.

strengthening stage; completed from August to October, strengthen the study of key and difficult knowledge, clear blind spots, and accumulate experience in answering short-answer questions and essay questions in professional courses. It is recommended to 10 hours a day, 4 hours a morning, and 3 hours a day in the afternoon and evening. Maintain normal daily routines.

sprint stage; complete before December, and recite the final question. Do simulation questions. All knowledge points are comprehensively scanned, consolidated and strengthened, check for omissions and fill in gaps, ensure that all knowledge points are mastered, and further strengthen training for unskilled areas.

▌ A little advice on the review timeline for the whole year

The focus of the early stage is mainly on mathematics and professional courses. English needs to be systematically reviewed throughout the whole process, because many engineering students generally have weaknesses in English, but remember not to relax in the postgraduate entrance examination Chinese English. If you don’t pass the national line in a single subject, your efforts this year will be in vain.Politics can start a little later, and it is better to start in July and August. In the early stage, we cooperate with video classes to sort out knowledge points, read more questions in daily life, and cooperate with Xiao Xiurong's book in the final sprint, which can basically be solved.

professional course preparation suggestions

① Personal review experience

professional courses are independent questions. If you do not have a very professional and systematic understanding and review, it is difficult to stand out in the selective exams in the postgraduate entrance examination. Professional courses are not like basic courses. Each person's professional courses vary from person to person, so they are less replicable. Without guidance, it is easy to take detours or go wrong.

②Review suggestions

836Review suggestions; 836 can be read for the first time before June and take relevant notes and knowledge points frameworks. The summer vacation has entered the strengthening stage, which is to consolidate the key and difficult knowledge. The analysis of previous years’ real questions will be completed in October and the test points will be predicted and sorted out. 836 is becoming more and more flexible overall, and the main types of questions include: explanation of terms, short answers, and discussion. However, calculation questions may still appear in the past two years, so the 836 test questions are becoming more and more flexible. Not only do you need to learn the reference book thoroughly, but you also need to accumulate some professional knowledge in your daily life. During the exam, some knowledge points outside the book often appear. Therefore, everyone must read the actual questions of each year and be familiar with each type of question to know yourself and your enemy.
