First, the postgraduate entrance examination instructions
(A) the basic process of postgraduate entrance examination
Forecast name for September-formal registration in June 65438+1October-10/October on-site confirmation165438- Print admission ticket in February-Take the initial test around February 23rd-Take the second test around March-April the following year (depending on the arrangement of the applicant school)-Be accepted.
(2) score analysis
The examination subjects of sociology major are: English 1. Political science, sociological principles and social investigation research methods. Although the total score of the initial test for postgraduate entrance examination is very important, you need to pass 50 points in English and politics to be eligible for admission. Students should not ignore this rule.
subject of examination
My English score is 57, which is a dangerous score. My performance is a bit abnormal. My political score is 72, which is relatively average and at the average level. The scores of two professional courses are 136 and 105 respectively. Generally speaking, English and politics are difficult to grade, and specialized courses are the key to grade. Therefore, students must carefully prepare for professional courses, and students who take math exams should also pay attention to preparing for math subjects, and math is also the focus of grading.
Second, the choice of schools and majors.
When registering for the postgraduate entrance examination, everyone can only apply for one major in one school, so students must pay attention to the choice of school and major! Information about relevant schools and majors can be found in the professional catalogue and college catalogue of R & D.com, and you can also go to official website, the target institution, to check the enrollment brochure of that year, which will provide more comprehensive information.

The choice of major should be based on personal interests, and you can take the exam or not. My undergraduate course is sociology, which is also my interest, so I don't plan to take the exam. If you are not interested in your undergraduate major, you can choose to take the cross-exam, and it is not recommended to take the cross-exam on a large scale, because not only do you need to learn a new major from scratch and get in touch with brand-new professional knowledge, but some majors will have restrictions when enrolling students, which is very difficult. You can choose from undergraduate majors, and students need to think carefully before making a decision.
The choice of school is the key link of postgraduate entrance examination, and students must pay attention to it! If you have a school to which you are determined to apply, that is the best. If you are confused about the choice of school, you can start with the major you want to apply for, search the ranking of the school you want to apply for, and then search the real questions of each school in previous years. Combining the scores and admission ratio of previous years, grasping the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination, choosing schools within your own ability, avoiding ignoring your own ability, and attacking famous schools wholeheartedly may not get the results you want. Taking sociology as an example, the school rankings are as follows:
Ranking of schools
Taking my own situation as an example, I voluntarily chose Shandong University as my application school. On the one hand, because Shandong University is my alma mater, I have great feelings for her. On the other hand, I am satisfied with the teaching staff and teaching level of our sociology major, and the learning atmosphere is also very good, and the difficulty is not particularly high. It is within my ability, so I chose Shandong University. It's a pity that the initial test score is not high enough to enter the second test of Shanda. Northwest A&F University was chosen as the target institution when transferring to another school. Because Xinong is a 985 university, the teaching staff and teaching level, including school background, are guaranteed. Students should also consider various factors when choosing a school.
Third, prepare for the exam at home or at school.
Because I went to a boarding school to prepare for the exam, I will talk about the difference between preparing for the exam at home and going to a boarding school alone, so that students can choose the way that suits them according to their own reality.
Prepare for the exam at home
First of all, it saves the commuting time from home or dormitory to the library, and you can study for a while.
Secondly, the home environment is free, so you can recite it aloud without worrying about disturbing others.
Third, preparing for the exam at home will be taken care of by family members and you can concentrate on your studies. But the premise is that you are self-disciplined, can complete the review task as planned, and can also reduce the influence of family chores. But it is difficult to achieve the effect of review.
Prepare for the exam at home
School preparation
On the one hand, the school learning atmosphere is strong, and the school library can quickly enter the learning state. The management of the boarding school for postgraduate entrance examination is strict, and the teacher will supervise it.
On the other hand, you can encourage each other to make progress with your school friends or research friends without feeling lonely.
The disadvantage is that there will be living expenses for preparing for the exam at school, and there will be an extra diplomatic registration fee for boarding schools. The accommodation environment is also unsatisfactory, so it is necessary to avoid being influenced by others or having a bad dormitory relationship.
To sum up, students need to choose carefully according to their current situation and characteristics.
School preparation
Four, professional lesson preparation experience
(A) the choice of professional books
I have two specialized courses, 6 13 sociological principles and 806 social investigation and research methods. With the same academic ability, we have to take two courses: western sociological theory and social statistics. The choice of professional books for exam preparation subjects can be found in official website, the target institution, and you can also listen to the experiences and opinions of some seniors and sisters.
Initial examination subject
6 13 There are two professional books recommended by Principles of Sociology: Introduction to Sociology, edited by Qin Li, and published by Shandong University Press; Sociology Course of Peking University Sociology Department, Peking University Press, 2005.
Sociological principles? Professional books
Professional books recommended for study in 608 social investigation research methods are: Social Science Research Methods (Second Edition), edited by Lin, Shandong People's Publishing House, 2008 edition; Modern Social Investigation Methods (Third Edition), edited by Feng, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Press, 2005. Professional books can be purchased on common online shopping software, and you can buy them by entering the detailed information of the books.
Professional books on social investigation research methods
(B) professional course review planning
The whole preparation process of specialized courses can be divided into three rounds of review:
1. A round of review-during the summer vacation, May-August
Review the tasks at this stage:
First of all, we must understand the basic information such as the form of the exam, the setting of the question type, and the difficulty level. 6 13 sociological principles have three types of questions, namely noun explanation, short answer questions and essay questions. 806 social investigation research method has one more question type than 6 13 sociological principle, that is, calculation problem, which needs to be reviewed emphatically.
Problems of sociological principles
Secondly, "carpet" study specialized courses, sort out the contents of books, deeply understand knowledge points and avoid rote learning. After class, focus on mastering the exercises, restore the real questions over the years to books, and mark the key points. The contents of chapters 6 13 and 806 are very clear, which can be promoted chapter by chapter. Learn a chapter every day, remember the key knowledge, and review yesterday's review when reviewing the new chapter. This step can be completed in two months.
Third, at the end of a round of review, the knowledge framework of the whole book and chapters should be formed in your mind to lay the foundation for the second round of review. Also pay attention to the training of calculation problems, such as Pearson coefficient.
2. The second review-9-165438+1end of October
Review task at this stage: strengthen the memory of knowledge points. There is a trick here, that is, turning knowledge points into noun explanations, short-answer questions and essay questions, doing simulation training and strengthening memory. Especially the knowledge points that have been tested in previous years, the basic knowledge points of sociology will be tested every year, and there will be repeated knowledge points, such as social control, social realism and nominalism, and "safety valve theory". These knowledge points have appeared many times in the test paper, so we must review them with real questions as the core. You can also write your own test paper according to the real questions and after-class questions to simulate the thinking of the questioner, which is also very helpful.
3. Three rounds of review-one month before the exam
Review tasks at this stage: strengthen memory, check for missing parts, and prevent forgetting.
Some key memories that they can't grasp well, clear their blind spots, and mainly conduct simulation training for knowledge point exams. After the first two rounds of review, I have a certain grasp of the knowledge points. In the last month, when faced with the questions and keywords formed in each chapter, try to repeat the answers. If you can't remember some of them, go back and read books to strengthen your memory. In this way, you can effectively check and fill the gaps and ensure that every knowledge point can be mastered skillfully. Also look at the real questions in the last 3-4 years and practice them at least twice.
Five, English preparation experience
First of all, introduce my basic English, CET-4 477, CET-6 565,438+065,438+0. My English level is very average. It took a lot of time to review English for the postgraduate entrance examination, but the score of the initial English test was only 57, which was far from the usual simulation score (the usual simulation score was around 70).
Summarized the reasons, mainly the unreasonable time schedule. Although the review was simulated many times, I was still a little nervous during the formal exam, and I felt terrible when I read the first one. Finally, I spent the time on translation and cloze to do the first article again. Although I got my reading score back, I was too hasty in translation and cloze, and basically didn't score. Students take me as a negative example, so they must pay attention to the time arrangement and adjust their examination mentality. Let's share the review experience of individual parts:
(1) text
I started word review in May. In fact, there is not much difference between each word book used in the postgraduate entrance examination. I chose little red books instead of taking online classes with words. The focus of word review is persistence. You can also follow classes or choose other word books according to your own situation. Teacher Zhu Wei's word book and word class are very good. Students who have a thorough explanation and weak foundation are advised to follow the word class if they have difficulty in memorizing words, which will be very helpful.
Postgraduate entrance examination word book
I made a word recitation plan according to Ebbinghaus's memory curve. I recite one unit every day according to the table of contents of the little red book, and review the units recited in front in time according to the plan. Personally, I highly recommend that you use Ebbinghaus memory curve when reciting words. First, memorizing words in units is faster, so you don't have to worry about memorizing how many words. Second, the previous review is more scientific and reasonable, and the memory is more profound; Third, when reviewing the words recited earlier, you can browse and read quickly. Every word is marked with "positive" next to it. Don't worry too much if you encounter unfamiliar words. You can remember them next time. Repetitive memory saves time. Generally speaking, I have read the whole book four times, and it is still very effective in terms of words.
Ebbinghaus memory curve
2. Reading
Reading is my whole reading class with Mr. Tang Chi, including basic lectures on reading methods and real reading questions over the years. The teacher's explanation of reading methods is fine and ingenious, and there is often a feeling of being suddenly enlightened.
Teacher Tang Chi's reading class
After class, I began to practice reading by myself, and read twice a day. It is suggested that students of English one can practice their feelings by doing the real questions of English two in the early stage, and then they can start to brush the real questions when they feel that their English level is stable. Pay attention to the intensive reading of each article. Explaining the real questions recommended the Truth of Postgraduate Entrance Examination and Zhang Jian's Yellow Book, and explained the real questions in detail over the years. The real questions in the past two years should be left to sprint one month before the exam, so as to maximize the use value of the real questions.
English real problem set
It should be noted that:
There is no time limit for doing real questions for the first time. You should practice carefully with Mr Tang Chi's reading method. After you finish writing, you should make a detailed analysis of the whole article, including new words, reasons for wrong questions and long and difficult sentences. For convenience, write it down in your notebook, and then check whether there are any loopholes and fill in the blanks. Don't worry too much if you brush too many mistakes. This is normal. It is progress to strive for better mastery when brushing.
Time should be limited when brushing for the second time, and each piece of paper should be controlled within 15 minutes as far as possible to simulate the exam. At this time, the number of wrong questions will drop significantly. If there are still many mistakes, we should find out our own reasons. We still have to write down what we haven't mastered, and check for leaks.
(3) Composition
You don't need to review your composition in the early stage. You can focus on reviewing it from 10. The composition class recommended Shi Leipeng's composition class. The atmosphere of the teacher's class is very good, and the templates and knowledge points are also very practical. I didn't know until I took the composition class that composition writing actually has rules to follow.
Shi Leipeng's Composition Class
I use Wang Jiangtao's Writing with High Scores for Postgraduate Entrance Examination as my composition book. According to the teacher's method, I recited 20 compositions each, and then sorted out my own templates. As for the specific time of composition review, I arrange the first task every morning, spend an hour reciting a big composition and a small composition, write down possible sentences and some key sentences in my notebook, and classify them according to the function of each sentence in the article. Over time, I will find that many different sentences actually express the same meaning, and then I will form my own template. You can also match a composition copybook to improve the cleanliness and beauty of the font, which is conducive to getting high marks in the examination room.
Postgraduate English composition book
Gestalt, Translation and New Problems
New questions, cloze, translation does not need much time to review. The core of these parts is the treatment of long and difficult sentences, which have been reviewed when practicing reading. You can focus on the method of doing the problem. After mastering the method of doing the problem, you can complete the problem quickly and with high scores without reading the content word by word. The method of learning new questions can be systematically explained in Tang Chi's course.
I recommend Jing Tian's translation review class, and try to finish the questions before class. Because the exam time is tight, we should learn the translation methods of key points and special sentences. If you have enough time, you can do some translation of predicted topics later.
Miss Jing Tian.
(E) English preparation time planning
1.5-July-basic stage:
English words for postgraduate entrance examination should be carefully brushed and memorized.
Train English reading, and complete the reading questions from 2005 to 20 18 14 (***56 readings).
2.8- 10 month-strengthening stage:
Two rounds of English words.
English real questions (postgraduate entrance examination real questions or yellow book) 2005-2065438+2008 fourteen-year real questions two brushes. You can start from 20 18 and brush backwards. After all, the closer the year is, the closer the style of the real question is to the present.
From 2005 to 20 15, new questions, cloze, translation began to brush. Follow the class while doing the problem, and the key point is to master the method of doing the problem.
10 began to recite the composition. Recite two compositions every day, one big and one small.
3. 1 1 month-sprint stage:
English words three brushes. The more words you recite, the faster you recite them. There is no need to worry about too much work. The main purpose is to check the leakage and fill the gap.
When the real question is wrong, brush it three times. Real questions, especially reading, should pay attention to summary and analysis, and know where your own problems are in order to solve them better.
20 16-20 19 new questions, cloze and translation.
Continue to recite the composition, record the key sentences, and form a set of expression sentences that you can master.
4.65438+February-Check for missing parts before the exam:
English words can't stop until the last day
The real questions of 20 19-202 1 must be trained in actual combat, and the real questions of these three years must be broken and thoroughly understood. Pay attention to the allocation of time, the adjustment of mentality and the writing of composition, and you can't ignore the time to set aside the answer sheet.
Form your own composition template. Pay attention to the font, you can practice English in a balanced way, or you can be clear and neat. Good handwriting on the scroll is also an important part of scoring.
Check for leaks and fill gaps. The more perfect you are in reviewing the wrong questions and key points recorded before, the more secure you will be and the more stable you will be in the examination room.
Sixth, political preparation experience.
Political review for postgraduate entrance examination is relatively simple, and it is a high-return subject that you can get high marks as long as you study hard. The review books recommend Xiao Xiurong's Essentials of Knowledge, Postgraduate Entrance Examination Politics 1000 and Xiao four shaw VIII.
Xiao Xiurong's Postgraduate Politics
Teacher Xu Tao's core exam case and teacher Lu Yufeng's sprint four sets of papers are also of high quality, so it's best to prepare them. The above political review books are sold online and offline in all bookstores, and it is easy to obtain channels.
"Core Exam Cases" and Four Sets of Leg Sisters
The political review class forced Mr. Xu Tao's class. The explanation is very detailed and easy to understand. This course sounds interesting and relaxing. Look at Xiao Xiurong's "Exquisite" in class, draw the knowledge points and key points in the book, and do 1000 questions in each unit to consolidate the knowledge points.
Xu Tao Postgraduate Politics Course
Political review time planning
Politics doesn't have to start too early. Review begins around mid-June.
1.6-August-basic stage:
With teacher Xu Tao's course, we should have a systematic understanding of the knowledge points of all parts, especially the science students are not as familiar with the knowledge points of politics as the liberal arts students, especially the philosophy part of Ma Yuan needs to be followed by the course.
Do 1000 at the same time with the course in Xu Tao. After listening to a lesson, do the corresponding multiple-choice questions and mark the wrong questions in time for analysis. It is best to find a wrong book, copy down or delete every wrong question and concentrate it to form a set of political wrong questions for future review.
Handbook of political errors
2.9- 10 month-strengthening stage:
Brush back knowledge points.
You can choose to recite the essence of taking notes before, or you can choose to recite a knowledge manual, such as the sprint recitation by Sister Leg, to consolidate the knowledge points. Many students dislike that Intensive Reading and Intensive Lecture is too thick, so they will choose a manual that looks less stressful to recite. Students can choose according to their own preferences.
Second, brush Xiao Xiurong 1000 multiple-choice questions. Don't look at the big questions, you can recite Xiao Si Xiao Ba directly at the end of the term.
This brush question is mainly based on the wrong questions summarized before. Deepen the memory of previously uncertain knowledge points and reduce your own mistakes. Students with weak foundation can also buy a new 1000 question and brush it again from the beginning, so that they can master it more comprehensively. The wrong questions are still recorded in the wrong book, and the number of wrong questions is reduced step by step.
At this stage, the teacher's skill class has already begun. Students with poor foundation or feeling a little lacking can choose to follow suit. However, as I am a liberal arts student and have a good grasp of political knowledge, there is no online class at this stage.
3.11-65438+February-final sprint stage:
At this stage, we should focus on major political issues, and the task of reciting is very heavy.
Personally, I suggest reciting Xiao Xiurong's "Sister Legs" with eight volumes, four volumes and four volumes. You don't have to recite all the words when you recite big questions, just master the overall logic. First recite Hachi, then recite Xiao Si and Legs. These two teachers have a good grasp of the direction of the big topic, and the topic prediction is also trustworthy. If you recite more, you will be more sure.
For the question 1000, we mainly look at the wrong questions summarized before.
Paying attention to current politics, although it does not account for a large proportion in the exam, can not be abandoned. Every point in the exam is very important.
Seven, write at the end
"Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement."
In the process of postgraduate entrance examination, this sentence has always inspired me until the end.
Postgraduate entrance examination is a journey of self-improvement in our short life. We work hard and persist. I believe that we can finally be the one who is blessed by fate and see the moon through the clouds.
I like a sentence very much: "When you really want something, the whole universe will try its best to help you realize your dream." I also send this sentence to everyone who has a dream in his heart. I sincerely hope that every postgraduate can finally go ashore and have a bright future in Wan Li!
