The public examination has been launched. Based on my insignificant experience, I would like to give some suggestions to students who want to take the civil service exam. I mainly want to share some of my own experience and methods of taking the exam. I hope that everyone can get useful information based on their actual situation. I hope it will be helpful to friends who choose to take public exams.

The article mainly focuses on practical information on how to prepare for the exam, without much storyline.

The reasons why I chose the public examination: First of all, I really like the career of civil servants. It has always been my dream to be admitted to the provincial department. Secondly, it is not ideal to find a job after graduation, but my parents also want me to return to my hometown for development. Finally, I majored in administrative management as an undergraduate. I don’t hate administrative work, and I think it’s okay to accumulate knowledge on my own, so I chose to take the civil service exam.

My early preparation for the civil service examination: I decided to join the civil service after graduation. The main work in July is to collect examination materials, time plan, etc. There is very little real learning. From August to the official start of preparation for the exam, the preparation time is relatively short. Get up before 7 a.m. every morning, take a half-hour lunch break, go to bed at 11 p.m., and take one day off every week for sleeping, shopping, watching movies, etc. Before the exam, you basically stick to it and become more regular. I took four or five days off during the National Day and almost completely relaxed. One month before the exam, take a day or half a day off every two weeks to basically concentrate on studying.

Now I will talk about my method of preparing for the public examination in detail.

Usage materials: "Zhong Gong Textbook", "Yishen Hongbao Class", "Past Question Collection", "Huatu Module Collection", Chalk Question Bank, People's Daily App.

My preparation process:

I started studying to prepare for the exam in August. Personally, I think it’s more reasonable to start in August. If you review too early, the front line will be too long and it will be difficult to stick to it. If you review too late, you will panic later. Study about 6 hours a day, usually in the morning, and read some knowledge points before going to bed at night. In the early stage, I mainly read the textbooks, listened to the lectures, and did the questions in the books, which laid a good foundation. There are many knowledge points in the civil service examination, and the application requires strong thinking.

There are three main rounds of my study:

Practice test

The first round: watching video lessons and doing questions.

The first time to watch a video class normally. After reading the corresponding part of the Huatu Module Collection in one chapter, carefully understand the meaning of the answer. When solving questions, try to use the methods and techniques taught by the teacher in the video class to solve the problems. At first, I was always used to solving problems in my own way, but when I practiced, I got used to the teacher's method. I found that the method taught by the teacher was really useful and my problem-solving speed improved a lot. For example, the three-set problem of the inclusion-exclusion principle of quantitative relations is the most difficult problem in the inclusion-exclusion principle. According to your own method, it may take more than 3 minutes, but it may not be possible. But using the drawing method of Ye Shen Hongbao's 9-second problem-solving thinking, you can draw a simple picture and kill it in 30-40 seconds. At the same time, in your spare time, you can use the chalk question bank to write questions for free to check for any omissions and fill in the gaps.

The five parts of the test, common sense judgment, verbal understanding, and judgment and reasoning are not difficult. In fact, no matter which teacher says the same thing, you just need to follow the teacher to master the basic skills and then strengthen the practice. master. The most difficult aspects of the test are quantitative relationships and data analysis, which require strong skills. The gap between the tests mainly lies in these two parts, the best teacher, one is Huatu Li Weiming's class, and the other is the digital course of Hongbao Course.

The second round: the second brush course on special topics.

Module Booklet: Solve questions according to the sections and review wrong questions at the same time. If you encounter questions that you don’t know or have forgotten, go back and read the corresponding courses. At this time, I watched the course selectively, and the second time I listened to the course at 1.5 times the speed.

The effect of answering questions according to the sections is very good, you can break through each section, and the accuracy rate gradually increases linearly. The biggest advantage of doing questions according to the board is that you can make horizontal comparisons and develop a sense of problems, such as language understanding, and you can master the questions well. After investigating the turning points, you will find the key points, and after you make progress, you will find the answers, or synonymous replacement of the question stems will be options. For example, graphical reasoning can create feelings. When you see the question type, you can feel the changes in quantity, symmetry, rotation, or elements.

First of all, we must know the knowledge points before we can know how to do the questions. For example, 19 golden data analysis can completely solve more than 80 data analysis problems. As long as you are familiar with it, you can directly apply the corresponding one when you see the problem, and the problem-solving speed will be greatly improved. Examination is a course that becomes increasingly difficult as you study. At first, you may be scared when you see that the textbook (or other handouts) is very thick, but in the end there really isn’t much. There are more than a dozen questions on quantitative relationships, there are only a few test methods for verbal comprehension, and there are not many rules for graphical reasoning...

The third round: take real test papers and review notes.

A set of real test papers every two days (there are many real test papers, which can be used in joint examinations, provincial examinations, and national examinations. Don’t worry if there are no problems, but you must do real questions, not simulation questions! Don’t do simulation questions! Don't do practice tests! ), do the questions in the morning, study the answers in the evening or the next day, and figure out what each question tests and why each option is correct? Why is it wrong? Do a question and figure out a type of question. On the one hand, this stage has cultivated my feeling of taking temporary exams, greatly improved the speed of answering questions, and the knowledge has also been well reviewed.

Scroll through the review notes multiple times. The notes are the results of your own early review and are of great significance for checking and filling in the gaps. Line testing is an efficiency competition, which depends on who can do the most correct questions in the shortest time, so speed and accuracy are very important.

Thesis:

The first round: cultivating thinking.

The key to argumentation always lies in the way of thinking. I'll listen to the class normally first. The argument is an objective and subjective question. In addition to article writing, I also give points based on points. The key points of the argument answer come from the material. Therefore, the key is to cultivate critical thinking and master refining skills. Don't memorize any answer formulas or classic examples.

Summary and summary questions: Find the right points, extract the main points in the material, and you can score points by stepping on the basic points.

Countermeasure question: The source of the countermeasure is nothing more than the direct countermeasure in the material, the problem infers the countermeasure, and the cause infers the countermeasure.

Comprehensive analysis questions: what is it, why, what to do, how to see it.

Executive questions (official document writing): follow the requirements of the leader (question stem), what to do, how to do it, and when to do it, and write it clearly in the format of the official document.

Article writing: There is a certain degree of difficulty. You must be able to examine the meaning of the topic, make strong arguments, and propose ways to care for people's livelihood.

It can be said that whether you can get high scores in small questions depends on whether you can find the point, and the composition depends on whether you can find the correct topic and then make a strong argument. Good teachers are Huatu Zhongjun and Yishen Lingze. Both teachers have work experience in government agencies. Lectures can be combined with actual administrative work to be more in-depth and systematic, helping us start from a strategic perspective instead of blindly relying on conventional false spaces. However, Mr. Zhong Jun’s class has not been updated in recent years, but the essay skills (free on Bilibili) are still meaningful for learning. Ling Ze’s blue ocean thinking, gold mining thinking, core thinking, “Ling Ze’s 9-character formula” and “people’s current commentary copywriting method” must be learned, especially the people’s current review copywriting method, which can be said to be a sharp tool for scoring points in article writing.

The second round: breakthrough in question type.

At this stage, you will go through the module manuals, starting from the summary, breaking through each question type one question type, from reading materials, reviewing questions, writing answers, researching answers to reviewing courses, the whole process is in accordance with the first It is key to take turns using the thinking methods you learned to do the questions, consolidate your thinking habits, cultivate awareness of key points, and practice argumentation. Otherwise, it will be fun to listen to the lectures, but it will be difficult to do the questions, and you will not know where to start. I think this stage is the stage where I have made the fastest improvement in my application. It can be said that I have gone from not using my thinking method smoothly to being fluent. I basically know what to test, how to check the key points, and how to answer the questions when I see the questions.

Through this round of study, it is no exaggeration to say that I am very sure and confident about the answer. I just need to do something to add the icing on the cake. I think there is no problem in winning the essay with high scores.

The third round: do the real questions, memorize 15 pages before the exam, and listen to the pre-exam sprint class.

I have been doing real test questions for nearly ten years. I still set the questions in two days and answer them strictly according to the test time and process. After answering the questions, study the answers, pay attention to the scores you can't find, analyze the reasons, and reflect and summarize.

Be familiar with memorizing 15 pages before taking the exam. It is as important to the essay as it is to take the test. The 15 pages summarize many classic materials, which are classified according to economics, politics, culture, society, and ecology. There are classic stories, famous quotes, typical arguments and recent political events. It is entirely possible to read the essay a few more times and get 5-10 more points. This is the internal information of Hongbao Class on Application and Theory. It does not mean that it must be available, but it is the icing on the cake.

It is recommended to study the sprint course before the exam. Before the exam, the teacher will finally sort out each question type to help us check for defects, especially for large essays. Teachers will sort out the country’s important policies and development directions in recent years and predict the composition. Of course, predictions are not necessarily accurate. The key is to lay a solid foundation. But in my pre-exam sprint course, the teacher only predicted how to promote national reform in the new era. Just like the exam composition, be fully prepared in advance. It can be said that I am most satisfied with the answer to the essay. I should say that I am very lucky.

Spending 20 minutes every day before going to bed to read the current commentary articles on the People's Daily app can not only cultivate the perspective of thinking about issues, but also pay attention to the current affairs of the country and accumulate a large amount of materials for argumentation.

Some of my insights:

The process of taking the public examination was hard, but when I finished the exam, I was very grateful for this experience and regained my self-control. At the same time, during the four-month process of taking the public examination, I was helpless and hesitant, and had difficulty persevering. I often asked my seniors for advice and received encouragement from my friends, which made me persevere better. I am very grateful to everyone who has helped me, and I wish all my classmates and juniors who are fighting.

Regardless of success or failure, we all have reason to be proud of our bravery and hard work. I believe that if you really work hard, the worst outcome in life will be to be a late bloomer.
