Timetable for Postgraduate Entrance Examination Mathematics
Postgraduate Entrance Examination Mathematics generally tests candidates’ mastery of basic knowledge and their ability to apply problem-solving. Unlike politics, the review of mathematics can sometimes be completed in the form of surprise for some people. Mathematics is similar to English review. It requires accumulation of knowledge step by step and complete mastery step by step. We generally divide the whole review stage of mathematics into four stages - basic stage, intensive training, consolidation and improvement, and sprint stage. Let’s talk about the issues that should be paid attention to during these four stages of review.
The first stage: basic stage learning
The goal of this stage is to understand the three basic requirements in the syllabus through review of the textbooks - basic concepts, basic theories, and basic method. The time is from mid-March to mid-July, about 4 months. It is worthwhile for everyone to spend a lot of effort and time to lay a solid foundation at this stage. At this stage, it is recommended that you review it in two rounds. The first round: mid-March to mid-June, about 3 months. The main focus at this stage should be on the teaching materials. Sort out the teaching materials carefully, not only read them, but also do the exercises in the teaching materials, study the teaching materials carefully, and understand the theory thoroughly. The second round of review: from mid-June to mid-July, about 1 month. It is recommended that you find a book of basic exercises, preferably one with a larger amount of questions, such as Li Yongle's 660 basic test questions, which has an excellent reputation. At this stage, candidates need to deepen their understanding of the textbook concepts by completing 660 basic test questions. At this stage, you need to review the textbook while doing the questions. In addition to doing the questions at this stage, everyone also has to go through the textbook quickly. After passing the content in the textbook, do the corresponding parts of the 660 questions.
The second stage: Intensive training stage
The goal of this stage is to transform the basic knowledge in the textbook into your own problem-solving ability by making a high-quality tutorial material. The time is: from mid-July to the end of October, about three and a half months, and the training is divided into two rounds.
The first round: the study period is two and a half months from mid-July to the end of September. The second round: it takes about one month, that is, from mid-September to the end of October. Review the tutorial material thoroughly.
The third stage: Consolidation and improvement stage
The students’ goal is to achieve high scores in the postgraduate mathematics examination by studying past years’ real questions and high-quality simulation questions. It’s the two months of November and December. This stage is mainly for training on real questions and simulation questions. Let yourself have the feeling of actually doing the questions, find out the skills of doing the questions and explore the characteristics of the questions, and find a better "exam" feeling.
The fourth stage: sprint stage
The goal of this stage is to maintain the results of the previous stages. The time is in December before the exam. The materials recommended to everyone at this stage are: the final sprint mock postgraduate examination papers. At this stage we must do the following:
(1) Summarize and think; don’t just do questions. Summarize the real questions and simulation questions done in the previous stage (the summary here mainly includes clarifying the basic problem-solving ideas and checking for omissions and filling in the forgotten knowledge points). Simply doing questions without summarizing will not be able to transform knowledge into mathematical abilities and accumulate them. What should we use to fill the gap? Provide special training on question types for which the ideas are unclear by doing simulated questions;
(2) Practice setting questions. Keep practicing the set of questions until the end, and do not use your hands; do not look at difficult questions, partial questions, or strange questions; this requires mock tests;
(3) Remember and do not deviate from the teaching materials. Memorize basic concepts, basic formulas, and basic theorems, especially formulas that are not commonly used and are vaguely remembered. For these, you need to take out the textbook again, find out the prototypes of the formulas that should be memorized from the textbook, and memorize them. We also use one word to summarize this stage: "protect", which can also be called the state-maintaining stage. The word "guarantee" here also has two meanings: one is to maintain strength; the other is to maintain memory. Students must retain the basic knowledge and problem-solving skills that they have worked hard to accumulate for more than half a year.
As we all know, English is very important in the postgraduate entrance examination. Starting from May, the 2008 postgraduate entrance examination review has entered a substantial stage. For college students, in addition to dealing with the necessary courses, the postgraduate entrance examination Review must also be put on the agenda.
For those who are concentrating on taking the postgraduate entrance examination or taking the postgraduate entrance examination while working, this time is also very precious. No matter how busy they are, they still have to take time to systematically review English and professional courses. Below, I will talk about my review of English for the 2008 postgraduate entrance examination based on my own experience. I hope it will be helpful to all those taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
May-June: focus on vocabulary, supplemented by reading
For students with average or advanced English skills, after the May Day Golden Week, they should All the postgraduate English review materials are simply organized, from vocabulary to reading, from grammar to writing. There must be a comprehensive consideration and a complete outline, so as to pave the way for subsequent review. In terms of vocabulary, don't be greedy for too much at the beginning, let alone believe in the so-called "secrets" about how many words to remember in a few days. Be down-to-earth and honest, remember as many as you can, and proceed step by step, so that you can add up to a little. Don’t have too many vocabulary lists, two are enough. Before the 2008 syllabus is released, you must get the vocabulary of the 2007 syllabus and take a look, because the changes every year are not big, so there is no need to worry. . In addition, buy a copy of "Pocket Treasure" and carry it with you at all times for easy reference when using it.
July-August: Focus on reading, supplemented by vocabulary
Scientific English learning is all-round and multi-level learning. There should be no fear of difficulties, let alone fluke. Thinking that a certain area is weak or not very important and relaxing the study of this area is very wrong. Take memorizing words as an example. I don’t advocate rote memorization, which will only achieve half the result with twice the result. If you can combine the memory of words with the reading of articles, you can achieve flexible memory, strengthen memory, consolidate memory, and at the same time achieve understanding of the meaning of the article. The purpose can be said to kill two birds with one stone. After memorizing the words in the first two months, you will definitely have a more intuitive understanding of the words, but it will definitely feel boring. At this time, reading and memorizing the words can help you solve this problem and help you reach the other side of success.
September-October: Lay a solid foundation and pay attention to practical simulations
If you have applied for a postgraduate entrance examination class before, you will probably know that the most important thing in this period is no longer simple Accumulation, but to improve abilities in actual combat simulations. But one thing I hope you can distinguish is that some teachers will use this time to explain a large number of long and difficult sentence analysis. Although this may help you in reading and translation, it is not worth promoting. It is not easy to get high scores in translation. In addition to daily accumulation, the key lies in the understanding of the meaning of the text and the understanding of the author's psychology. Sometimes you may be "blinded" in the exam room more than you can do 10 sets of 8 sets of translation simulations. Listen to Two or three postgraduate entrance examination classes are more effective. Reading does not necessarily require you to understand all the content. You only need to grasp the most critical points and answer the questions correctly. Please note that the time in the examination room is very limited, and you must plan carefully to be foolproof. How to simulate varies from person to person, and which material to choose is also a matter of opinion. But I need to remind everyone that you must not ignore the quality of the exercises in pursuit of quantity. The current postgraduate entrance examination market is a mixed bag, and you have to resist the strong publicity offensive. It is indeed difficult for businesses to be hit one after another. You will always think about whether others are doing it and you will be at a disadvantage if you don’t do it. In fact, there is no need to worry like this. When learning English, you must put yourself as the center and your own ability as the measure, so that you can be one step ahead of others. In addition, you must seize the time during practice, simulate the time in the examination room, and test your true level. After finishing, create a file of wrong questions and review it frequently to avoid similar mistakes from happening again.
November-December: Prepare for the sprint and study the real test questions
The real test questions are a must-have "secret weapon" for every postgraduate entrance exam taker. It's always changing, but it never changes without its sect. This sect is the real question over the years. Anyone who has excellent scores in the postgraduate entrance examination in the coming year will spend a lot of time on the real questions. This has almost become a law of English for the postgraduate entrance examination. Therefore, after a certain amount of accumulation and confidence, it is urgent to study the real questions. During my usual review, I always bring nearly ten years of real test questions with me, ready to review them at any time. Doing real test questions is also very particular. In addition to the need to grasp the time, you must strive to create an atmosphere in the examination room, because only a quiet environment can ensure the agility of thinking. After completing the real questions, pick out the questions you got wrong and mark them with stars so that you can remind yourself the next time you do it. You can also test the effect of each question.
It is strongly recommended to do the real questions 5-10 times so that you are familiar with them and keep them in mind.
January: Final sprint, adjusting status
After completing the above work, the time for the exam is not far away. At this time, you need to recite some classic examples and composition templates. Also do some reading to keep up. In fact, some reading materials are themselves very beautiful articles, and some reading materials involving emotional aspects require special attention. Through them, you can grasp the author's psychological and emotional changes, and gradually form a feeling of doing the questions. The importance of examples is self-evident. An excellent examination essay requires you to explain things clearly and put forward your own unique insights in the shortest time. At this time, examples will play a big role. The teacher who will judge the paper will because The sparkle of a few of your sentences will elevate your article to a new level. Therefore, in addition to focusing on some famous quotes and common proverbs at this time, you also need to pay more attention to these things in daily life. You can also imitate some sentences yourself. These are important ways to improve the literary talent of your articles. In the process of writing, you must pay attention to the beginning and the end. The so-called "crested pig belly - leopard tail", a good beginning will make the marking teacher's eyes shine, and a good ending will make people have endless aftertaste. . After completing all this work, you need to adjust your sleep and diet, and be fully mentally prepared. I believe you will do well in the exam.
Textbook + practice questions + real questions = KO
Professional courses, like mathematics, are also subjects for improving scores. Different schools, different majors, professional courses have different subjects, and review methods are also different, but sufficient attention should be paid to them. Especially interprofessional candidates. Many people around me are failing in professional courses.
For professional courses, one thing is very important, that is to seize all the time to review all knowledge points, especially in the first two times. Do not pursue the so-called key review. The real focus is on your own knowledge. The whole book will emerge automatically after you fully understand it.
In fact, for mathematics and professional courses, the most taboo thing is to have high ambitions and low ambitions. Do not just talk about various methods, but put them into practice, and find methods that are more suitable for you in practice. .
1. My road to the postgraduate entrance examination (students who only have one or two books in professional courses can refer to it)
My review of professional courses started in the second semester of my junior year, and I transferred to another school and crossed majors. . I only learned part of it from professional textbooks, but it is similar to mathematics and has more calculations, making it easier to get started. Never apply for a major that has N subjects (including retests) and you have never studied any of them (unless you are very strong). You must have studied at least part of it.
1) School starts in early March - August 15th: Do the textbook and after-school questions twice. Basically mastered each knowledge point and can answer questions proficiently.
2) August 15th - October 9th: I read the textbook twice and felt that the after-class questions were not large and relatively simple. The most important thing was that I was already familiar with them. About to vomit. So I did the set of exercises corresponding to the textbook, and my level improved greatly.
3) October 9th - November 10th: Made the textbook again, the main purpose is to establish a framework system and integrate it. After completing the professional course, I feel confident.
4) November 10th - December 11th: Do ten years of real questions. Summarize while doing, and improve while summarizing. After finishing it, I basically found the rules for setting the real questions.
5) December 11th - Exam: I spent a few days writing an article, summarizing all the test points in the past ten years, and using my professional knowledge to predict the test points one by one (and Like writing this article, the process is quite painful, but I feel a sense of accomplishment after completing it). After that, I scanned the real questions, textbooks, after-class questions, and summaries. There is basically no problem in taking professional courses before entering the examination room.
2. Reference shortcuts
I am very glad that my professional courses started relatively early (and it should be relatively early). Many people suggest starting review after school starts on September 1st, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. Because the later it gets, the tighter the time becomes. Starting review early can lay a very solid foundation for professional courses, and at the same time leave enough time for later political review (of course, this requires determining the major and school to apply for in advance). Scores for different majors are not comparable. My goal at that time was 150 points. If you follow the path below, you won't get a perfect score in professional courses, at least it should not be low.
1) School starts in early March - before summer vacation: Go through the textbooks and after-school questions carefully, be sure to read them carefully, read basically every sentence, and never miss a single point. Purpose: Be familiar with each knowledge point and the basic requirements of the syllabus.
2) Summer vacation - school starts on September 1st: do the textbooks and after-school questions again. Purpose: Preliminarily establish a framework system and master various knowledge points.
3) September 1st - early November: Find the exercise set corresponding to the textbook or other school postgraduate entrance examination questions and final examination questions and do it again. If you have time, just scan through the textbook. Purpose: To improve problem-solving skills and gain comprehensive understanding.
4) Early November - one week before the exam: do the professional course questions 1 or 2 times (reserve one set). If you have time, read the textbook carefully again. This review requires precision and you must study the real questions. Some of the past papers are tested every year, while others change every year. Purpose: Linked to the postgraduate entrance examination, explore the pattern of questions over the years, improve the postgraduate entrance examination scores, and lay a solid foundation.
5) One week before the exam - exam: look at the past questions, summarize the notes, and do a set of real questions. Purpose: Check for omissions and fill in the gaps, maintain good condition, and prepare for the exam.
1. Time arrangement for political theory review 2. How to review various political courses 3. Selection of political tutoring books 4. How to use real questions 5. Test-taking strategies for each question type 6. Tutoring classes and tutors
First let’s talk about the time schedule for political review. According to Lin Hai’s understanding, the time for political review varies the most. Some people start reading political textbooks in March and April, while others only start in November. review. And the results are often not directly proportional to the length of time. A friend of Lin Hai only started studying politics in December last year, and he only had one syllabus and one real test paper. As a result, he got a high score of 82 and was admitted to Renmin University of China. And many friends prepare for politics very early and barely pass the line when the results are announced. Of course both are extremes. As an ordinary person, there is no need to review too early or too late. Political review is all about doing it in one go. If the review front is stretched too long, it is easy to get tired, and the final effect will not be good. Some people think that politics relies on memorization, and as long as you memorize the content in the last month, you will pass. I think friends who have read this year's postgraduate entrance examination questions will not have such an idea. According to Lin Hai’s experience, it would be more appropriate to start political review in August or September, which is also the arrangement of most candidates.
Personally, I think that reviewing politics can be roughly divided into four stages. The first stage is from the beginning of August to the beginning of September (one month). This month is a more important period. Everyone’s task is to become familiar with political theory. The general framework and knowledge points form a systematic and overall thinking. The books recommended for everyone to use are test analysis and real questions. Reading the test analysis is to sort out the knowledge points, and reading the real questions is to grasp the test points. Candidates with better proficiency do not need to read the real questions.
The second stage is probably from early September to November (about three months). This period is relatively flexible, and everyone can make appropriate adjustments according to their different levels. The review at this stage is to conduct a systematic and detailed review and mastery of the knowledge points specified in the syllabus. Recommended political guidance books to use during this period: Little Red Book + Chapter Exercise Book. You must read the Little Red Book twice. Through this stage of review, you must be able to master each knowledge point skillfully and solve key, difficult and easy test points.
The third stage is the so-called sprint stage. The review during this period of about December (a month) is very important and can greatly affect your final results. During this month, everyone needs to review the past. By concluding the review content, you can have a high-level view and master the knowledge points from an overall perspective. You can not only connect the knowledge points within the subject, but also connect the content between subjects. This period of review is when your ability will make a qualitative leap, so no matter how good or bad your ability is, you should fully grasp this period of review. As for the degree of qualitative change, it depends on your previous accumulation of quantitative changes. The reference books you use during this period should be concise and comprehensive.
The fourth stage is the final question pressing for about half a month. Although Lin Hai does not believe in question pressing, he still needs to pay attention to the following aspects. The most important thing is everyone’s mentality towards the question pressing. In the end Any tutoring class will have something to answer the questions. If you read every one, it will be very hard and a waste of time.
Just read a test book, such as 30 questions, 20 questions, the last 3 sets, the last 4 sets... Most of the test questions are based on luck, and the contents are similar. We can only regard the final test as the finishing touch, and we must not bet our results on the test
