The most difficult part of the postgraduate entrance examination is not the preliminary test, nor the retest, but the fact that there is both the preliminary test and the retest.

finally got a high score in the first test, but we didn’t think that our postgraduate entrance examination was stable, because if we “pull the crotch” in the retest, we would still be rejected.

In other words, everything is uncertain until you receive the "intended admission" notice.

This is the most difficult thing for candidates!

As for the postgraduate entrance examination re-examination, starting from 2020, the method has also changed and a new "online re-examination" has been adopted, also called online re-examination.

Compared with the previous "offline re-examination", also called on-site re-examination, the "online re-examination" also has some new features, and many candidates prefer this re-examination method, mainly for two reasons.

1. Candidates are less likely to be nervous due to the online re-examination.

Since it is an online re-examination, candidates are directly facing the camera. Furthermore, the re-examination is at home or in the dormitory, and the interview environment is relatively familiar, so it is not easy to be nervous.

Especially for some students who are a bit "socially afraid", the online retest is simply their "savior", and of course, they will perform better.

2. The online retest will cancel the "written test" or weaken the written test.

Since it is a remote network retest, the written test will be very difficult to operate. Therefore, many schools will cancel the written test, or weaken the written test and only conduct interviews.

For candidates, the difficulty of the retest will be reduced.

Although many students prefer online retests, to some extent, online retests also have limitations.

For example, for some art majors, online re-examinations may not be able to showcase talents. Teachers may only be able to ask some more traditional common sense questions and professional questions.

This is actually not a comprehensive examination of candidates.

Therefore, To a certain extent, the online re-examination is indeed not as "fair" as the offline re-examination, or in other words, there are limitations in the examination of candidates.

However, the online re-examination for the postgraduate entrance examination may soon become a thing of the past. The 2023 post-graduate entrance examination re-examination will most likely adopt the "offline re-examination" (on-site re-examination).

And, this possibility will be very high!

So, how should candidates prepare in 2023?

First of all, we must pay attention to the written test

Offline retest preparation and online retest preparation have completely different ideas.

As mentioned before, for offline on-site re-examination, most majors will have a written test, especially science and engineering majors, 100% of them will have a written test. If you fail the written test, you will be "Passed" directly and there will be no chance of an interview.

As for the written test, it mainly focuses on professional courses and English.

The written test for professional courses is similar in format to the preliminary exam. It is also a test paper, but the test papers are questions given by the teachers of the school. At the same time, it is definitely different from the preliminary exam for professional courses.

For example, if you are applying for the major in control science and engineering, then the professional course you will take in the initial postgraduate entrance examination is "Automatic Control Principles". Then, you may take "Analog Circuits", "Digital Circuits", "Computer Fundamentals", etc. in the re-examination.

In short, the postgraduate entrance examination re-examination written test will definitely not be the same as the initial written examination.

This means that we must spend more time preparing for the re-examination. You can start reviewing as early as possible according to the requirements in the professional admissions catalog of the college you are applying for.

When reviewing, it is the same as reviewing for the preliminary postgraduate entrance examination. You still need to do more questions!

The English written test generally tests English-Chinese translation, and its main purpose is to test everyone's English reading and writing abilities.

Therefore, when preparing for the re-examination, English cannot be left behind!

This is the first piece of advice for everyone, you must start reviewing as soon as possible.

Secondly, you need to master some skills for the offline retest.

Because, compared to the online retest, you need to face the interviewing teacher directly in the on-site retest. Your every move, dress, and appearance will be displayed in front of the interviewing teacher without reservation.

, the requirements for candidates will be higher!

Therefore, we must be prepared in many aspects. There may be some behaviors that seem to have nothing to do with the retest, but it is very likely to affect our retest results.

For example, if you are timid and not confident at all during the retest, you may not get high scores.

For example, when you can’t answer the teacher’s question, you get very angry. You write your dissatisfaction on your face and even criticize the teacher. Can the teacher like you?

In short, there are too many skills and precautions for the on-site postgraduate entrance examination, which require us to prepare and practice in advance.

Especially students with a bad mentality should also do some exercises in advance. You can do simulation exercises in front of your family and friends.

Finally, we must pay attention to the accumulation of professional knowledge.

Whether it is the preliminary postgraduate entrance examination or the postgraduate entrance examination re-examination, the main purpose is to examine whether a student is suitable for postgraduate study and whether he has the foundation for postgraduate study?

Therefore, no matter how basic the professional knowledge is, don’t ignore it. The simpler it is, the more attention it needs.

If you can't answer a very simple professional knowledge, you will definitely be deducted a lot of points. For example, if the teacher asks you to explain a very simple professional term and you fail to answer it, the teacher may question your lack of solid professional foundation.

On the contrary, if you can answer a difficult professional question well, then you will definitely get extra points.

So, again, you must start preparing for the retest early, especially for professional courses. Please take it seriously. The teacher may ask any questions.

What we can do is to be as comprehensive as possible without leaving any dead ends!

In addition, it is best for everyone to read some literature related to the major you are applying for, understand the cutting-edge development of the major, accumulate more professional knowledge, and cultivate your own professional qualities.

In addition to the above content, you can also review your undergraduate experience (which professional courses you have studied, which experiments you have done, which projects you have participated in, which internships you have participated in, etc.), because the teacher may also find questions to ask from your self-introduction.

If you have an experience that you are not familiar with, it is best not to mention it in your self-introduction.

and above are some suggestions for everyone on preparing for the offline re-examination of the postgraduate entrance examination. I hope it will be helpful to everyone!

In short, work more on image, attitude, professional knowledge, English, and the logic of answering questions.
