My undergraduate course is a double non-one, and my junior grade has been in the middle and lower reaches of my class, and the foundation is basically equal to zero. I didn't know the learning method of architecture major until my senior year, and gradually improved my design ability. I also participated in some competitions and won prizes. I was successfully admitted to the graduate school of Shenzhen University this year, and finally gave myself five years to explain. I also hope this post can help more schoolmates!

First,? Time allocation

First, you can have a look. This is my schedule when I took the postgraduate entrance examination last year. Of course, it was a timetable for what I was doing at that time, not a timetable. There are many times when it is unreasonable.

The third year of high school has defined the goal of postgraduate entrance examination, and the third year of high school began to learn fast questions during the winter vacation.

1-March: learning fast questions

March-June: Foundation of architecture course, foundation of English grammar, and recitation of English words. In the past three months, I have browsed these three parts in detail.

July: I memorized the words for a month and the outline words all over this month because I found that there were many omissions in the words, and my vocabulary soared. I will mention the specific reciting methods below.

August: Quick questioning and intensive training. At this time, I signed up for a local crash course and drew a set of crash questions in two or three days. I was in such a hurry that I basically couldn't spare time to watch English and specialized courses, so I tried to go through all the basics before the summer vacation!

September: At this time, I began to listen to Xu Tao's political class. (You don't need to listen to the basic courses, and the intensive class meeting will be repeated in detail. )

10: Politics began to do Xiao Xiurong's 1000 problem, and English is still consolidating words. At this time, I also began to review architectural theory.

165438+ October: I realized that time was running out. At this time, I haven't the ability to write subjective questions of architectural theory independently. So this month, I recited the architectural theory over and over again, and began to practice English reading at the same time (it is not recommended to start practicing English reading so late, because I was very flustered at that time), while politics was doing multiple-choice questions in Grade 8, without touching on major political issues.

65438+February: In the sprint stage, I have recited several rounds of architectural theory (don't memorize by rote, memorize more quickly, which is more efficient), and English reading has also reached a higher level. By this time, I have been able to do all the correct reading questions, and English words are only extracted from the real questions and recorded. Politically, this is a subjective problem of reciting Xiao Si and Xiao Si.

Last year

It can be seen from here that I made slow progress before the summer vacation, because there are other things like internships. The farther I go, the higher my learning efficiency will be. I may also study for six or seven hours a day before the summer vacation, and basically start every day 12 hours later. Therefore, if some students feel that their learning efficiency is low in the early stage, don't be too flustered. It is normal for them not to be nervous and anxious before time. Of course, they can't completely relax their vigilance. If they want to get points in the later stage, it is very difficult if they don't lay a good foundation in front, which is a double blow to their mentality and ability.

Second,? (of students) choose a school.

Choosing a school is actually relatively free and limited. Freedom means that you can apply to any school you want, but the restriction is that you can't apply to many schools like the college entrance examination. Postgraduate entrance examination can only be reported to one school, and the school you reported will give you special questions accordingly. If you are admitted, you can only wait for a transfer to see if there are still places in other schools that are not full.

Therefore, we should choose according to our own specific conditions, understand our own foundation, the difficulty of the target institutions and so on.

If you already have a favorite school, just register directly.

If you are confused, I personally suggest that you first determine where you want to work in the future, and then go online to find your own professional subject evaluation ranking, and initially screen out several target schools according to the region.

Shenzhen University Architecture

The only recommendation: go to the research website to find information such as college examination subjects.

Subject evaluation ranking

Shenzhen University, as a newly-built university among network celebrities, is a double-non-university, but its geographical position is very superior, and it is often supported and taken care of by policies. Architecture is also one of the trump cards of Shenzhen University. Shenzhen University is known as one of the "new eight schools" in architecture, second only to South China University of Technology in South China, and its cost performance is still very high.

If you want to check the admission information over the years, you can go to official website or Zhao Yan. Check the admission situation over the years, the admission ratio, the proportion of graduate students in our school, the approximate score of admission and so on. You can give yourself a centering needle and set a clear score goal.

Shenzhen University Postgraduate Enrollment Network

However, it should be noted that the subjects of architectural theory in Shenzhen University have fewer questions and more scores, and the questions are mostly subjective, so the scores are more serious. It is difficult to adjust after a volunteer does not go ashore, so it is necessary to make full preparation for review.

Third,? Public class study.

Architecture doesn't take math, so I'll share the common courses of politics and English.

1, politics

The political difficulty is relatively low, and the predictions of several famous teachers on the Internet are very accurate. Don't worry, just recite boldly.

65438+ 10 began to learn politics at the beginning of September, and it took a while to pick it up and review it, so I felt a little rushed at that time, so it might be better to learn politics from the summer vacation. It is not recommended to study too early, and the early time is reserved for other subjects to lay the foundation.

Tao Xu

At that time, I started with intensive classes in Xu Tao. After listening to a chapter, I did a chapter exercise (Xiao Xiurong 1000). At that time, I heard that I had to brush it twice to be stable, but I didn't finish this set of questions, and finally I got 73 points. If I can brush it step by step twice, I think I should get 80 points.

Leg sister

Lu Yufeng is the leg sister mentioned on the Internet. Her problem-solving skills are quite powerful, suitable for a round of political review, and she has a certain basic listening.

Xiao xiurong

Xiao Xiurong, graduate students basically know him. Hachi Xiao Si must buy it. Of course, this is later. Primary eight will be released about 1 1 month, with emphasis on multiple-choice questions. Xiao Si will be released in 65438+2 months. The four sets of forecast papers are all key points, and the score will not be low.

Next, I would like to recommend several UPs for postgraduate study. Up mostly reprocesses and processes the knowledge summarized by the above famous teachers, which can greatly help you save review time. The political knowledge points they summarized are of great help to me as a review and sprint:

Daya postgraduate entrance examination

Big teeth. Xiao Xiurong's multiple-choice intensive reading course in Daya is worth listening to, such as Xiao Xiurong's 1000 question, and Xiao Ba's Xiao Si. The reference answers at the back of these God-sealed workbooks are not systematic enough for people to understand. Elegance will give you a refreshing understanding of the knowledge points of each multiple-choice question, so that you can see the pit in the question clearly and remember it more firmly.

Empty card

Empty cards will produce many political crash courses, such as reading Ma Yuan in 50 minutes and reciting Xiao Si series in 1 hour. The logic behind is clear and concise, suitable for students who don't have enough time to take the postgraduate entrance examination in a hurry. Of course, I don't really recommend listening to crash courses as crash courses, which is very risky. I suggest that you have a certain foundation (for example, after listening to the intensive class in Xu Tao), and then go to see the crash course of bearish cards as your review class, so that you can quickly go through the knowledge points.

Later, I memorized all the big questions of Xiao Si in the last five days of the postgraduate entrance examination by relying on the series of "reciting Xiao Si in one hour" with an empty card, so I wrote a lot of books in the examination room, which made up for the disadvantage of multiple-choice questions at that time.

2. English

I have a deep feeling about English. Because of my poor foundation, I passed CET-4 four or five times, with a score of 437. Finally, I chose A in the cloze in the examination room. I didn't translate much. I crammed for a book and got 64 points. This score is actually good, which belongs to such a poor but hard-working level.

If you want to get a higher score in English, such as 70 or even 80, you may need a certain English foundation. Like my familiar classmates, it is not a problem to get 70 points in the general postgraduate entrance examination for CET-4 and CET-6, and maybe even get more than 80 points.

The foundation is very important. The foundation is words and grammar. Grammar, I took online classes for more than a month, and basically learned grammar slowly for more than a month, filling up my grammar shortcomings for more than ten years, basically being able to say a long and difficult sentence, and being able to roughly understand and say the general meaning of this sentence (without being very precise).

2. 1 English words

Postgraduate entrance examination of English words is the most important foundation. At that time, I went to ask a very powerful postgraduate teacher. He told me that the number of new words in an English article should not exceed 5%, otherwise I wouldn't understand what the article was saying. Then there are 4-500 words in an English article, and the number of new words in an article cannot exceed 20.

I recited a round of postgraduate entrance examination words during the winter vacation, but I didn't read them for half a year, and I basically forgot them. Later, I took an English article for postgraduate entrance examination. Boy, I don't know more than a dozen words in one sentence, so I have to recite them according to this goal.

Later, the teacher told me that if the number of new words in an article exceeds 40, don't do the problem, which means that the foundation is still very poor. If you want to memorize words, the number of new words is between 20 and 40, so you can start practicing how to do the problem. Just circle all the new words in the article before doing the problem, check the Chinese definition before doing it, and then you can start doing the problem directly.

You don't recite words when reading.

Here, I recommend a method of memorizing words, which was recommended by an up expert. Personal testing is painful, but it is very effective. Welcome all students with poor foundation but determined to try.

Methods of memorizing words

Then in July, I memorized more than 6,000 words for a month (because I had to learn quick questions in August). At that time, I memorized 600 words a day, and with review, I could recite more than 1000 words a day. A month later, the effect was remarkable, and only a dozen words were unknown in an article.

Memorizing words gives me the greatest feeling not how much I can really remember at a time, but how many times I can repeat it if I can remember it now. I never stopped reviewing words from July to the exam. At that time, I made myself a list of Ebbinghaus memory curves, and I repeated it every day. When I was facing the exam, I directly found some unfamiliar new words on the real questions over the years and recorded them on my mobile phone. Reading them every day is very helpful for my reading.

2.2 English reading

Personally, I started studying on June 5438+0 1 and practiced for more than a month. By February 65438+2, you can basically read one wrong question at most, one wrong question every day, and occasionally nothing.

Recommended teacher for English reading:

Tang Chi. It is suggested to read as early as possible when practicing reading. If it's too late, you can finish reading Tang Chi's skills summarized by Li Li, and then write an article to answer.

Teacher Tang Chi.

2. Yan Binbin. Mainly explain the problem skills, and you can get the answer without reading the article. After watching Tang Chi, if you have time, I strongly recommend watching Xie Binbin's course.

Teacher Yan Binbin

Note: English reading is only recommended to practice with real questions over the years! English reading is only recommended to practice with real questions over the years! English reading is only recommended to practice with real questions over the years! Say the important things three times! ) and it is best to keep the real questions of the last year or two until the exam to give yourself a mock exam!

2.3 English composition

Not enough time? Poor foundation? Just recite it! !

My composition was found directly on the mile by the back of up master's composition template. Recite the composition template two months before the exam, and write dictation as soon as the examination paper is issued in the examination room. If you have a good vocabulary, it is not a problem to get 80 points.

Fourth, the theory course of architecture specialty.

The test sites in different schools will be different. Go to Zhao Yan. Com or official website, or consult the logged-in seniors for information. It is best to get the real questions of the past years. Take Shenda as an example. In terms of history, it is the history of medieval architecture+foreign ancient architecture+foreign modern history. In terms of structure, the first volume of the structure on the right side of the figure below is mainly investigated.

1. Architectural history

History is troublesome, and there are many modifiers in these history books, and the focus of writing is not systematic enough. So you can actively look for information and videos and follow your own teaching materials. Be sure to have your own notes (theory+historical atlas). In the early stage (before the summer vacation), we should read all the theories at least once, take notes, recite the back and draw pictures, and establish a systematic knowledge framework dominated by the timeline.

Memory and answer logic: time → urban characteristics/architectural characteristics → who represents architects → who represents cities or buildings → draw their general plan or longitudinal section.

Cartography: Pay attention to the overall scale. As long as it is not obvious that the scale is not harmonious at a glance, you can add some details, and you must add architectural features, such as several bays and arches in ancient Roman columns or China buildings, and keep them in mind.

Subjective question: Be sure to pay attention to the illustrations. The pictures of subjective questions can be scribbled, but we should also pay attention to the proportion. When memorizing architectural drawings, you should first have a general impression in your mind, and then try to copy them. After copying it once or twice, try to draw it silently without looking, and then compare it. Pay attention to the memory of the image. You must have an impression in your mind first, otherwise it will be inefficient. During the summer vacation, I personally suggest that we should be able to say in our own language the architectural styles or architectural features of various periods at home and abroad, what are the representative works of those periods and so on.

2. Overall structure

Like history, to form its own knowledge framework and structure atlas, it should be completed before the summer vacation.

3. mock exam?

The mock exam is very important. In the later period (1 1 month or so), you must set yourself a three-hour mock exam regularly, so as to grasp the rhythm of the exam. I have a deep understanding of this, and I can hardly finish it in the examination room.

Fifth, build a fast topic

1. Pay attention to school.

It's very important, but in general, it's scheme design ability > expression ability.

Is that the rationality of your design is greater than the beauty of your painting.

Under the focus of Shenzhen University, program ability is very important. As long as it is clean and tidy, of course, it is better to draw well.

The test time of quick question design is six hours, which is actually very short. Students who have drawn a quick question will know that the students who have just started may not even have a six-hour plan. Then how can we be fast and steady?

In fact, there is a standard process for quick question, or there is also a standard process for design.

I don't want to make such a slutty thing as undergraduate design. The space you do must be reasonable first. Make sure it is reasonable first, and then try to blossom.

2. General design steps:

(1) read through the task book, clear requirements

Be sure to read it through, and don't leave out conditions, proportions, roads, etc.

(2) Planning site functions and primary and secondary entrances.

This is very important. Once the primary and secondary entrances are wrong, it is a big mistake. Even the best painting can only guarantee 90 points.

(3) Set of building blocks, and make some interesting spaces if you have the ability (read more cases and accumulate more)

You can go to the fast class, and it's more atmosphere for everyone to draw together. I learned a quick question in winter vacation.

I'm copying from March to June (note: copying is not simply drawing a floor plan, but understanding how they are designed, understanding the design ideas, and then drawing them on my own copying picture book according to my own understanding of the building, with the focus on recording the characteristic space of that building, such as where it is overhead, where the line of sight communicates, how to guide people flow and how to deal with the landscape ...), if I have time.

July-August: I didn't touch the quick question in July. In August, I went to the fast class to practice the fast questions for another month.

September-65438+February: basically 1-2 weeks, a set of quick questions, limited to 8 hours in the early stage, gradually shortened in the later stage, and gradually limited to 6 hours in the later stage.

After learning the quick questions, you will find that your design ability has made a qualitative leap. Your quick design ability and understanding of design are even better than those students in the class who are not going to take the postgraduate entrance examination or even go abroad.

Sixth, the second interview

Maybe some schools don't value your undergraduate grades, but they all value architectural professionalism. Therefore, it is very important to reflect architectural literacy through undergraduate homework or personal portfolio or other accumulation.

Now good schools are not sad at the first test, and they have brushed a lot of second tests. Therefore, Meng Xin architecture students who are reading this post and planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination must pay attention to doing your undergraduate homework well and take part in more professional competitions, so that your portfolio can shine in front of teachers and be competitive.

Seven, mentality adjustment

It's important to find a research friend to cheer together, encourage each other and communicate more. In winter, when you can't get up in the morning, you can wake everyone up.

A large-scale exam with a long time line like this, the closer it is to the exam, the more people give up. I study in the library. After the first day of the exam, the number of people in the library was reduced by half. The garbage dump is full, full of books.

At that time, after the political examination, my mentality was about to collapse. At that time, I thought I couldn't pass the exam. Later, I thought, after reviewing for so long, I will write whatever I remember, so I will take the exam with this mentality. I can even answer questions at will when I take the theory test in the future. I think, whatever is right, I will write it on the answer sheet. I went ashore unexpectedly, thanks to which I never gave up.

Since everyone has decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, we must stick to the day when all subjects are finished.

I wish you all the best and land at an early date! !
