In 2003, I saw the news about the examination for psychological counselors, registered for reference, got into contact with psychology for the first time, and passed the examination (ranking) in one fell swoop. But when I continued to take the teacher level exam, I was rejected. The reason is that I graduated from non-psychology, and I have to work for five years before I can take the exam.
In May 2004, I quit the partnership company, resigned from the government unit, and took a full-time postgraduate entrance examination. I found a private house near a local university and began to study.
I applied for applied psychology in Peking University, but the biggest obstacle is English and psychological research methods and statistics. The courseware materials relied on are: the recordings of professional courses in 2003 and 2004 (3 times), English for the New Oriental Postgraduate Entrance Examination (including reading 5 times and other parts 3 times), and Ren Rufen's series of lectures on politics for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination (3 times). The related books are not listed one by one.
June 5438 +2005 10, postgraduate entrance examination, 340 points (including 60 points in English). From March to April, I began to contact and adjust. I received a notice of re-examination from Southwest Normal University/Tianjin Normal University/Shenyang Normal University/Second Military Medical University, and chose the second military medical university. The re-examination was successful.
Experience:
1. Stick to the end if you choose: the postgraduate entrance examination is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, and you should be careful when choosing postgraduate entrance examination. Once you have made up your mind, don't give up. Because once you give up, your efforts will be in vain. Especially for a senior graduate student like me, time cannot be wasted easily. Therefore, my slogan for postgraduate entrance examination is: carry the postgraduate entrance examination to the end and live the life you want!
2. No pains, no gains: As the English syllabus for the postgraduate entrance examination has changed greatly this year, I have been listening for nearly four months according to the courseware of New Oriental English. I felt cheated when I learned that my hearing had been cancelled. But then when I took part in the audition for the second interview, the hardest part happened to be what I had practiced (listening to this lesson). It can be seen that giving is rewarding.
3. Thick skin: In the process of adjustment, the most important thing is thick skin. I not only sent a transfer application to every school with a psychological enrollment plan, called every admissions office, but also contacted my friends who had not contacted for more than ten years to help me inquire about the school. Finally, when my friend went to my tutor with my transfer application form, the tutor knew everything about me (I sent letters, faxes and emails to the school admissions office). Because a year's hard work can't be wasted before the last few steps. When my file was sent to Shi Tian University, the Second Military Medical University agreed to adjust it. As a last resort, I had to have the cheek to go to Shi Tian University to retrieve the documents. According to the regulations, this is impossible. I begged to come at first, but now I have to leave anyway. Even I am embarrassed. I found the most unreasonable reason. I applied for applied psychology, but there is a shortage of students in basic psychology in Shi Tian. Thank you very much, Mr. Feng from the university. She has the best attitude and the most responsible attitude in all the recruitment offices I have contacted, and I have given her the most trouble.
4. Work-rest combination: Complete three 1 projects every week (play a game, watch a DVD movie, get together with old colleagues and have a drink). With entertainment, my study efficiency will be very high.
5. Moderate Internet access: I specially added this article, because it was posted on the forum and showed to a netizen. It took more than half a year for the postgraduate entrance examination, and I could hardly get online. And my girlfriend Apple did the information inquiry. Now, she has almost become an expert in postgraduate materials. Here, I also express my heartfelt thanks to her. ) I think surfing the Internet is too time-consuming, and it is difficult to ensure that I can find what I need in time. It often takes me a long time to find it useless. Therefore, I advise you to surf the Internet moderately.
In fact, I feel that I only succeeded in the postgraduate entrance examination by 80%, because I originally went to Peking University, and now I can only go to the Second Army University. However, as long as you work hard, everyone will achieve corresponding results, perhaps not 100%, but this has satisfied you.
Today, my steps and heart are light enough to fly. I can face everything in the past and everything in the future. If I fail the exam, I will take it again next year. I have enough courage. I'm 30 years old, so what if I have nothing? I feel so kind to sort out the books I have read, especially the psychology textbooks. As long as my ideal is still there and I haven't given up my dream, there will always be hope in life.
Finally, I wish friends over 30 years old a smooth postgraduate entrance examination!
