First of all, I want to say that many people say that the postgraduate entrance examination is a long-distance race, but this is actually wrong. Postgraduate entrance examination is survival in the wilderness. Unlike long-distance running, you just need to go all the way. On the way to the postgraduate entrance examination, you should not only keep going forward, but also have a proper rest, keep your physical strength to the maximum extent and make relatively correct choices at all stages.
In the field, finding the right direction and distributing physical strength reasonably are as important as a healthy body.
Important! ! !
1. First of all, this answer is completely applicable to the postgraduate entrance examination of journalism and communication, basically applicable to all humanities and social sciences majors, and partly applicable to science and engineering. It's up to you to judge.
2. First of all, the basic character of this answer is a lazy person who is a little self-disciplined like Brother Slipper. Assuming that everyone puts in 25 hours of efficient review time every week during the postgraduate entrance examination, compared with 4 hours of review every day, teenagers who have passed Grade 4 should consciously increase 0.5 hours every day, and teenagers who have taken exams or applied for 34 colleges and universities should consciously increase 0.5 hours every day. In addition, everyone needs to spend about 5 hours a week thinking about life, collecting experience and publishing something.
3. First of all, the most ideal goals that a junior can achieve are as follows:
(1) think clearly about whether to take the exam and other principled issues;
(2) roughly determine the materials to be used, and save 10 copies of the experience stickers that you think can guide you to review and explore the learning methods that suit you;
(3) To lay a solid foundation in English, pass CET-4 and CET-6 first;
(4) Those who take the math test can prepare in advance, which I have no right to say;
(5) Professional courses have concepts and know what the people are talking about.
1, prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination from the course selection. There are probably several principles:
A, ensure that there are no classes except compulsory courses in senior year, and all credits are completed in junior year as far as possible;
B, ask the seniors which teachers are having a hard time and try to avoid them;
C, try to arrange classes on specific days, try to arrange the first class in the morning, and ensure that there are no classes at all for two days a week or only the first class in the morning.
2. Arrange the review time.
During this time, everyone has not fully entered the review state. It is basically just playing mobile phones to stay in the study room every day, but it is necessary to ensure efficient self-study 25 hours a week.
It is excellent to arrange at least 45 minutes a day, recite a word, read an English book extensively and watch professional classes. Try not to review for two consecutive days. Not afraid of wasting time, but the "guilt" brought by not reviewing for a few days is full of negative energy, which will make you think seven or eight times.
In addition, ensure that there is a fixed hourly time for review every week. The whole afternoon of 3-4 hours is the most loving thing. Before that, let's try to arrange the class as tightly as possible, which is also for this.
You may not have a clear study plan during this period, but you should keep a record of your daily study time and the amount of tasks you have completed, and find out the workload you can bear and the feeling of making a plan. But it's best to decide in advance when and what to do, such as learning English in the morning and taking professional classes in the afternoon. Otherwise, the first thing you want to do every time you sit in the study room is to watch English or math 1 hour or 1 hour is a professional class? This is so stupid.
At this stage, I suggest that you spend at least half your time reviewing English and lay a good foundation. (How to lay the foundation later)

3. Find a review method that suits you.
Do you think I want to talk to you about how to find experience stickers? Whose experience stickers are reliable?
No, no, no, all chicken soup. Why not have some high-quality chicken soup? The so-called seniors were actually not much better than you a few months ago. They didn't wear underwear outside when they passed the exam.
In most cases, everyone actually made a lot of mistakes when preparing for the exam, but some people are gifted, some people are willing to work hard, and some people are lucky. Of course, everyone has different reasons for success, but you should always be careful when a group of people who actually don't understand why they got into the exam write you experience posts.
That's not all. When writing a post, there is a psychological term called self-help attribution, which means that people are more willing to emphasize success because of their own reasons when they are successful, so you will see that all experience posts are for studying hard and making progress every day.
Besides, after the exam, people will share their experiences. According to Le Jia, most of them are teenagers with red personalities, but a few are blue and yellow. Green teenagers generally don't do such "boring" things.
The personality characteristics of red teenagers are simply "to be crazy first, to be simple and to rush forward". They are enterprising, willing to endure hardships, and have strong language organization skills, but they also love to brag. They pay attention to qualitative "it seems to be awesome" and never care about quantitative "it is inaccurate". Moreover, it is inevitable to miss some key and basic things. Just look around and post what these people's experiences are.
So where should I go to find a suitable learning method?
Cognitive science is a systematic science, and its research results basically tell us how to learn more efficiently.
Since everyone wants to drink chicken soup, why not find some original old chicken soup that has been passed down for decades and tested by generations of readers to satisfy themselves?
For example, on the question of how to read, dare to read how to read;
For example, how to make full use of the limited review time and dare to read pomodoro technique Illustration: A Simple and Easy Time Management Method;
For another example, how to learn knowledge and organize notes, dare to read the Mind Map User Manual, and teenagers who are used to taking notes with tablets can also consider adding an "evernote Super Efficient Digital Note", which you deserve;
For example, I have memorized many theories, but I still can't understand them effectively. I still have nothing to forget. I might as well read How to Learn Effectively written by Scott Young, a super scholar who completed 33 courses in 4 years at MIT in 1.
After two weeks, I was conservative about the retention rate of learning content and the accuracy of the data, but the overall thinking was correct. Before studying hard, it is necessary to study the study itself.

1, the significance of the postgraduate entrance examination.
I am sure whether knowledge can change fate. Who is suitable for postgraduate entrance examination? Of course, only a small number of students have academic dreams, but as we all know, only about 10% of graduate students will eventually choose to study PhD.
So, is graduate school helpful for work? Quote a sentence from autumn leaves, the great god of PPT-
In fact, most people take the postgraduate entrance examination, not because they like scientific research, but for good employment. This is no problem. One's postgraduate entrance examination that year was because it was easy to find a job with a high degree of education.
If it's for employment, if I think about it now, the above question is not the first focus of my thinking at all.
If I make a choice for my daughter, my decision-making model is this.
If you enter a fast-growing industry, don't take the postgraduate entrance examination, go to work first!
If you enter the structural adjustment industry, then go to the postgraduate entrance examination and avoid the limelight!
For most people, the greatest significance of graduate school is as a springboard for you to find a good job. As an uncle who went back to school in 1988 and worked for five years, I tell you responsibly that the current job market is really bad and unprecedented. Of course, the job market will never be short of jobs. Teenagers who are really willing to endure hardships and have good conditions may wish to fight for it. Staying in school for a few more years before looking for a job can help everyone to enter a good platform more hopefully.
The myth of being interviewed by classmates after three years of graduate school is only suitable for a good job market. What you have learned after working in a poor employment environment for three years now may be learned by others six months after graduation (of course, this conclusion is not suitable for students who graduated from college in 1985 and have excellent quality).
Before the age of 30, you sell your potential. People will judge your potential not by your age, but by how many years you graduated. Just postpone employment, give yourself a justifiable reason to stay in school for a few more years, wait for your knowledge and experience to grow naturally, and then go to work when the job market naturally picks up. For this purpose alone, graduate school is a business that does not lose money.
Therefore, to answer many students' questions, "Brother Slipper, I feel very confused about what I can do and whether it is suitable for the postgraduate entrance examination", my answer is "confused, in fact, your ability is just not worthy of your own ambition, and postgraduate entrance examination is a way to increase your ability, so go and take the exam!" .
Let's use a simple and rude standard classification: except for 985 good teenagers and 2 1 1 teenagers with clear employment goals, for most students, graduate school is absolutely not a loss. As for whether you can understand it or not, this requires your own efforts. (Of course, I'm not saying that these two types of students are not suitable for graduate school, but the opportunity cost of these two types of students is higher. Whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination or graduate school, you need to consider it yourself. )
2. About choosing a school.
Choosing a school is the first thing everyone should consider in junior year. The "three leaps" we often talk about are actually the three dimensions that everyone has to face when choosing a school for postgraduate entrance examination, namely, region, school and major. Many people think that the problem is to decide the major first, then choose the school, and choose the school and decide the area by the way. This is not reliable. The appropriate way is to choose the region first, and then choose the schools comprehensively.
Geography can shape a person. If you can be silly and naive when you are an undergraduate, you must have the consciousness of "I am willing to live in this city for more than ten years" when choosing a graduate student.
The great differences in China are unique in the world. First-tier cities have long surpassed the United States and Britain, and life in small mountain villages can even be bitter in Africa. American scholars have verified that the more authoritarian a country is, the more inclined it is to use all resources to please the residents of the capital and first-tier cities. Therefore, when people plan their future life, the capital and the capital are at the same level, and Guangzhou and Shenzhen are at the same level, and coastal tourist destination cities (Hangzhou, Xiamen, etc. ) and the provincial capital is a class.
My suggestion is that everyone should choose a provincial capital city among Guangzhou, Shenzhen and the province of birth according to their family situation and aspirations. The province of birth is given priority to those with good family conditions, and Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are given priority to those with general conditions.
Then, the major is mainly interest. Try to think about it. If you don't want to study for a PhD, please avoid the super-unpopular major of philosophy.
For schools, my advice is to be ambitious. If you choose a provincial capital city, please apply directly to the best school in this province. If you choose Beishangguang, you must do what you can and consider all kinds of uncrowned kings.
Don't say that you have a poor foundation. The biggest basis for postgraduate entrance examination is how much preparation time you have. Before September, it can be considered as the stage of your accumulation of foundation. Half a year's time is enough to smooth out the starting gap between you and the so-called "good foundation" competitors. To put it bluntly, it is easier for you to relax in the process of studying in a "relatively relaxed" school, and the possibility of being admitted is not necessarily greater than the possibility of going straight to 34 schools. I know a research friend of two normal colleges in a B area in World War III. After reviewing politics for three years or taking a naked exam, she finally got in, which is quite strange.
3. About confusion and anxiety.
23 years old is the best age in one's life, but it is also the most confused age in one's life. At this stage, you have too many choices. Choice means giving up, and giving up means pain. This is the source of your confusion. After graduating from college, you will make a choice for your future as an adult for the first time, and you have heard too much nonsense about not losing at the starting line since you were a child. There are too many myths about how to decide your life five years after graduation, and your anxiety is determined by your desire for immediate success. But having a choice is certainly not a bad thing. The idea of letting others help me make a decision is irresponsible to myself. Faced with such confusion and anxiety, I hope you don't escape and change your idea that I am happy. All my anxiety is because I still have a choice.
In addition, I want to give you some tips to relieve anxiety with a lyric: listen to what others say and make your own decisions. Or, in a perverse way, in the last three years, away from parents.
Now you are in an "anxiety field". Besides yourself, your classmates, your parents and many people are even more anxious than you, and this kind of mood is contagious. Parents all over the world have a common problem, that is, they regard their children as the hope to realize their wishes.
To tell the truth, it is difficult for them to understand what we are facing at our age. All they know is a modified myth that belongs to someone else's children. Everything they do is for your own good, but they don't know whether such good is what you want, or whether what they think is good really suits our times. It is good to communicate with your parents, but the anxiety of the closest person will have the greatest impact on you.
Looking back at my 23-year-old, my mother repeatedly stressed that she "couldn't sleep for a few days and cried secretly in the middle of the night", but in my opinion, the biggest pressure in those years was to convince my mother to rest assured of my state at that time. What's more, an important reason for me to go back to school now is that in the fourth year of work, because of my mother's pressure, I got the risk of120,000 from a company with only seven people following me.
4. The most important thing about the postgraduate entrance examination is to manage your physical and emotional energy.
It is really easy to say that the postgraduate entrance examination is difficult. If you can keep a decent review state, stick to it and consider preparing from junior year. Basically, even if it is not, the distance from the target institution will not exceed 10. But every year, many friends give up treatment for one reason or another during preparation. Why, there is not enough energy?
So, how to increase energy?
Ensure 7 hours of sleep every day, try not to stay up late, insist on exercising for 20 minutes every day to recharge, and eat a good meal from time to time to recharge. To sum up, it is four words "the law of work and rest".
It is also important to avoid "consumption". For example, don't set too tight and too high a goal for yourself. It's strange that you regret what you didn't do every day.
In addition, the study schedule is not fixed, and the first thing in the study room is to entangle what to watch today, which will also consume a lot of energy;
For another example, the living arrangement is not fixed, and the consumption of positive energy is no less than a complicated math problem.
There are also a group of roommates who have no goals. Women have nothing to do shopping, and men LOL every day. Friendship is very important, but the future is more important;
Of course, what is even more frightening is that the boyfriend and girlfriend of the postgraduate entrance examination broke up, which is simply a natural disaster. Therefore, boys and girls who have not started a relationship, please don't start easily.
Here is a small request. In addition to continuing the idea that nine teachers in last year's study tour class set up luxury private schools for 265,438+0 students, Brother Slippers also plans to launch the graduate apartment project in 65,438+07 (yes, because the partners quit, they should not enjoy it this year). What do you think of the "ideal postgraduate entrance examination environment"?
English articles
If you only have two afternoons a week to review wholeheartedly, please give them all to English.
At this stage, it is enough to make full use of some spare time for professional courses/politics.
Of course, because journalism and communication do not test mathematics, please adjust yourself if you want to test mathematics. English review at this stage doesn't need much progress, but you need to understand everything as much as possible.
What is the so-called everything? Vocabulary, grammar, sense of language, and teachers' wonderful ideas about writing problems are arranged in order.
Many experience posts are talking about the coup of English writing for postgraduate entrance examination. In fact, it's just that you're used to the brain-tonic test of CET-4 and CET-6, and you can score just by looking for information points. In fact, as long as you can really understand the article, the so-called wonderful ideas will not affect you at all.
I want to cut corners by studying the ideas of the topic rather than improving my English level to achieve the goal of getting high marks in the postgraduate entrance examination. Only suitable for small partners who start preparing in September with a maximum goal of 55 points.
Are we regular troops preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination in junior year? "The Art of War" says that "people in the world should value harmony and win by surprise", and all kinds of secrets are that children who are afraid of failing the national line should pay attention to their review on June 5438+1October 65438+1October 65438. What you need now is to improve your ability to read articles.
Remember, especially if you want to enter a prestigious school, the total score of English politics is not 130+, which means you are here to play with tickets. Maybe you need a foundation to get 70 points, but all teenagers who start preparing in their junior year should aim at at least 65 points. If you want to get high marks, you must lay a good foundation in the most exam stage.
Of course, crooked China people are really straight-headed, unlike China people who have a history of 5,000 years of civilization who like to refine the central idea of articles. Therefore, it is actually more suitable for daily English application to find information in the examination methods given by CET-4 and IELTS yes/no/no, but from the perspective of academic research, the postgraduate entrance examination method can really show that you understand articles.
What, you want to speak postgraduate English to foreigners, 40 points? That's because most foreigners in China are losers, and the most articles for postgraduate entrance examination come from The Economist, a magazine between scholars and the public. It is normal for foreigners in China not to understand.
Then, the question comes, how to effectively improve your article reading ability. My suggestion is to do real questions, do real questions seriously, and deduce every detail to do real questions. That's it. By the way, translate it. Well, after the translation, recite it by the way. Well, I have it all in mind. Write it down silently by the way. You can't stop, or you will collapse.
Someone will definitely want to say, Brother Slippers, you must be joking. No one on earth is so well prepared for the postgraduate entrance examination, so I didn't want to ask the real questions until the exam. Hehe, I didn't ask you to do it all.
