Taboo 10: insufficient preparation
Preparation is not early, but whether you really prepare with your heart and whether you really devote yourself to it. Under normal circumstances, the summer vacation of junior year begins to prepare in July. At this time, there is still half a year before the exam, which is enough time. Even in September. But remember: once you start preparing, you should devote yourself wholeheartedly, and at least make sure that you have 8~ 10 hours of review time every day, otherwise, you will regret it!
Taboo 9: No plan.
Poor planning will lead to difficulties in the future. Making a reasonable and effective study plan is the guarantee for the success of the postgraduate entrance examination. Divide the postgraduate entrance examination time into different stages, arrange tasks according to the characteristics of each stage, and make a comprehensive and targeted plan according to the principle of matching overall review with stage review and single subject review, combined with your own actual situation. Although the plan can't keep up with the changes, we should give full play to the role of the plan and resolutely implement it when necessary, rather than changing it at will.
Taboo 8: insatiable greed
There are a lot of review materials and reference materials for the postgraduate entrance examination. However, no one can read all the information, let alone it is unnecessary, so we should read it selectively. Buying too many reference books is not only a waste of money, but also a psychological burden on yourself. If the quality of the book is not high, it will waste time and affect the thinking of doing the problem, which is absolutely harmful.
Generally speaking, it is enough to fix one or two books in the early stage of each subject, such as Zhu Taiqi's English, Chen Wendeng's Mathematics and Ren Rufen's Politics. Not greedy. As the saying goes, "Don't bite off more than you can chew" and waste "food"! Choose a problem set and add real questions to each subject later.
Taboo 7: excessive dependence
After this postgraduate entrance examination, I really realized that people are different. No one's experience can be fully applied to another person. Excessive dependence includes two situations, one is superstitious about what others call experience. From a philosophical point of view, it is the relationship between knowledge and action. The experience of others can only be used for reference, not mechanically. Everyone's situation is different, so we should seek truth from facts and find a suitable learning method. The other is over-reliance on remedial classes. There is no denying that attending some remedial classes may help improve your grades. However, remedial classes are not essential. They are just commercial organizations for profit. So it needs to be treated with caution.
The most important thing in reviewing is to calm down and understand it slowly. Don't be too superstitious about your predecessors, and don't care too much about what people around you do. It is important to ask yourself what kind of study you belong to, and then make a plan according to your own situation. Never blindly follow others' experience and progress, which will not only disrupt your normal study plan, but also affect others' mood. Be careful in handling remedial classes. Don't be fooled by the advertisements for remedial classes. If you have to attend, please consult your brothers and sisters and choose the remedial class with the best reputation.
Taboo 6: improper law.
When reviewing, we should grasp the essence of the exam, start with the analysis of the exam outline and real questions, determine the focus of the review, and thoroughly understand the important knowledge points and questions. Don't try to cover everything, or your time will definitely be insufficient. You should also pay attention to the rules of memory. Pay special attention to questions that you don't usually do or do wrong. It's best to do it again every once in a while until they really become your own things, otherwise you will find many questions familiar in the exam, but you just can't do them.
Review should pay attention to several points: methods and skills are very important, but we should focus on understanding; We don't advocate sea tactics, but we should have a certain amount of questions, don't just watch examples and practice without writing, but also learn to communicate with people and learn to sum up and remember appropriately; There is also a need to highlight the foundation, clarify priorities, grasp the important and secondary, and don't waste time doing useless work; There is also the need to persist until the end of the exam.
Taboo 5: message shielding
Missing some necessary information is a major reason for the failure of postgraduate entrance examination.
During the postgraduate entrance examination, you should communicate with your comrades in postgraduate entrance examination, especially those who attend remedial classes, so that you can get some well-known information; Ask seniors who have passed the major in various ways, learn some lessons, ask matters needing attention, and even get some "inside information"; Knowing the preferences of professional teachers, it is possible to attend his lectures, analyze the real questions over the years, and generally draw some conclusions; There is also the use of the Internet, such as China Postgraduate Entrance Examination Network, Postgraduate Entrance Examination Gas Station and other websites can provide some quite applicable information. But I advise you not to spend more than three hours online every day, because the internet is addictive and the information is complicated. You should search for relevant information purposefully, and don't do irrelevant things.
Taboo 4: There is no good company.
Who spent so many long days with me is a big question.
Postgraduate entrance examination takes a long time, and there is a lot of pressure in the middle. Sometimes you will be very upset. I hope someone will work with you to remind yourself of your goals and dreams. When you encounter difficulties, someone will fight side by side with you, which can eliminate loneliness and increase your confidence in winning. At the same time, moving forward in comparison may have better results.
Although it is best to have someone to accompany you in the postgraduate entrance examination, you should keep your eyes open and choose. Don't choose people who are not determined. You should not only help him boost his confidence, but maybe his will will be pushed down. Don't choose someone who is looking for a job while taking the postgraduate entrance examination. Such people will not go to the postgraduate entrance examination wholeheartedly, and it is very likely that they will find a job together in the end; Don't be a third wheel in the postgraduate entrance examination, it will hinder others, make you feel bleak and cold, and affect your review mood; It is very dangerous to treat boys and girls with caution. Imagine how efficient it is for two people to read counseling books while eating melon seeds.
Taboo 3: lack of self-confidence
It can be said that there are so many people taking the postgraduate entrance examination, how many can have confidence? This may be the real reason why the overall score is not high, and a large number of people fail to make the list every year!
Not because you can't do it without confidence, but because you can't do it without confidence. In fact, it is not difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination. The difficult thing is how to believe that you have absolute strength to succeed. This is a common problem of many students, who are timid before the exam, so failure is only a matter of time. They may get average grades in college for four years, even in inferior schools. There are many famous schools whose students have achieved excellent results in postgraduate entrance examination. Coupled with their geographical and home advantage, they may have lost some confidence before the war. This is unacceptable!
In fact, good grades at ordinary times have little to do with being admitted to graduate school. Many students with poor grades even failed some courses and Band 4, but this did not affect their admission to key institutions. Postgraduate entrance examination is much easier than college entrance examination. Many students who were not admitted to Tsinghua Peking University realized their dreams four years ago. Everyone came from the college entrance examination wooden bridge. Why don't you believe in yourself when you take the postgraduate entrance examination?
Taboo 2: Emotional.
The reason why the postgraduate entrance examination failed is because we didn't really take the postgraduate entrance examination to heart, because we were too impulsive! Postgraduate entrance examination is not a heartfelt motivation, and the chances of success will not be too great. Who has been hurt by impulsive behavior?
Some people just dream of prestigious schools, which are unrealistic and doomed to failure; Some people regard postgraduate entrance examination as a tool or way to compete with others, which makes postgraduate entrance examination lose its meaning; Some people think it doesn't matter, but they don't have to take the exam. They just feel bored during this period, and even regard the postgraduate entrance examination as a level test. In fact, this involves the question of why to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I know that many people take the postgraduate entrance examination only for the pressure brought by feelings and work, and there is not much motivation in their hearts. Impulse often leads to the distinction between primary and secondary. What's the point of such a postgraduate entrance examination even if it is successful?
I think we should always adhere to the postgraduate entrance examination first and take postgraduate entrance examination as our current career. Attitude determines everything, so we must correct the attitude of postgraduate entrance examination, give ourselves a clear positioning, and know what we are doing and how to do it; We should bravely face the difficulties and obstacles encountered in the postgraduate entrance examination, overcome the negative effects such as indecision, distraction, avoidance and lack of confidence, and concentrate on facing them positively. As long as we can keep our attention for a long time and keep studying until the end, I think there is nothing we can't do.
Taboo 1: half-hearted.
There are hundreds of reasons for the success of postgraduate entrance examination, but there is only one reason for the failure of postgraduate entrance examination, and that is the biggest taboo of postgraduate entrance examination: half-hearted.
I think the most important thing for the postgraduate entrance examination is the mentality: half-hearted, half-hearted, restless. Whether it is a graduate student or a student at school, this is a big taboo for postgraduate entrance examination. Wandering between taking the exam and not taking the exam, taking the postgraduate entrance examination as a means of balance, I always feel that I can still work if I fail the exam. In fact, this kind of psychology has a great influence on the postgraduate entrance examination. Postgraduate entrance examination is a hard work. People who can't stand loneliness and fidgeting often can't concentrate on reviewing. Although he stays in the classroom all day, what is the effect? It is common to sleep at your desk in the postgraduate entrance examination classroom.
Also, most of our graduate students are in their twenties, especially those who haven't found the other half yet. Being jealous of each other in front of them and dealing with my father's nagging sometimes make me feel very painful, even during the postgraduate entrance examination. During the postgraduate entrance examination, feelings are also suffering, and sometimes they will be hit by unexpected fatal blows. But I feel that since I have chosen all this, the present situation cannot be changed. The only thing I can do is to prepare for the exam.
Some people love out-of-body experience when reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination. They spend three days fishing and two days surfing the Internet. If they are not serious for three days, they want to relax. Maybe they're used to being sloppy. Postgraduate entrance examination pays attention to human perseverance. We should stick to it. Although it can't be like one day a day, it can't be only three days of enthusiasm! Have enough courage to make bold choices and have enough energy to deal with them. This is very important.
Postgraduate entrance examination needs endurance, confidence, loneliness and relaxation. Since you have chosen the postgraduate entrance examination, you should concentrate on it, don't chop and change and spend other thoughts. I know it's hard, but it's important. Postgraduate entrance examination means two words "persistence".
After overcoming the above ten taboos, please start preparing for your postgraduate entrance examination.

How to collect postgraduate entrance examination information with maximum efficiency
Although different people choose the postgraduate entrance examination for different reasons, since they have made up their minds, they should choose the best strategy to prepare. As we all know, a successful entrance examination is half the battle. How to make the right choice in the critical period of review?
Postgraduate entrance examination information is undoubtedly a vital resource for every candidate, and its possession and utilization directly affect the difficulty of preparing for the exam and the size of admission opportunities. Therefore, how to collect the information of postgraduate entrance examination accurately, comprehensively and timely, and what kind of information to collect has become a top priority for candidates.
Postgraduate entrance examination information can be divided into public information and semi-public information according to its openness. Public information refers to information publicly disseminated through various channels, including national postgraduate enrollment policies, professional catalogues, enrollment brochures, etc. Semi-public information is usually not released to the public, but candidates can still learn through special channels, such as the content and focus of professional courses, the content and methods of interviews, the tutor's preference for students and so on.
Below, according to the order of postgraduate entrance examination, we list five kinds of important information and different ways to obtain information closely related to candidates' application, examination and admission.
The collection of postgraduate entrance examination information exists in the whole preparation process of postgraduate entrance examination. There are different jobs at different stages:
First, the enrollment professional directory. The enrollment professional catalogue is the basis for applying for the exam and all review plans. It is generally announced by the admissions unit at the end of August and the beginning of September each year. Candidates should contact the admissions unit in time to purchase the enrollment catalogue, or consult on its website, and finally determine their own application direction.
Second, the examination content and types of public * * * courses. The examination knowledge and requirements of public courses such as politics, foreign languages and mathematics are stipulated by the examination center of the Ministry of Education in the examination syllabus from June to July every year.
Third, the content and types of professional courses. There is basically no written review outline for specialized courses, and it may involve a large number of reference books, which increases the difficulty of reviewing and preparing for the exam, especially for candidates who cross schools and majors, and mastering the requirements of specialized courses will get twice the result with half the effort.
Fourth, the second interview and tutor situation. Starting from next year, most professional re-examinations will be included in the total score, increasing their weight in admission. The increase in the difficulty of the second interview and its relatively uncertain characteristics make it particularly important to understand the main contents and methods of the second interview. At the same time, because few enrollment units publish this information, it is easy to produce information asymmetry, and those who do not master this information will be at a disadvantage in the competition. Of course, if you can get in touch with the tutor during the preparation or re-examination, it will be extremely beneficial to understand the tutor's preference for recruiting students and make your re-examination preparation more targeted.
Fifth, the admission adjustment information. Admission adjustment information is of little significance for candidates with high or low scores, but it is very important for candidates whose scores have just been online and are on the verge of admission. If you know the adjustment information or enrollment expansion information of a certain unit in advance, your chances of admission may be greatly increased.
So how to obtain the above information effectively? We believe that channels must be diversified to ensure that sufficient and accurate information is obtained.
First, newspapers, the Internet and other mass media. In particular, the Internet spreads public information very quickly, and there is a special website to classify relevant information, which is very convenient to find. But we must pay attention to the authenticity of the information here.
Second, the enrollment unit. Since the enrollment unit is a professional proposition and the final enrollee, its information is undoubtedly the most authoritative. Candidates can obtain information through the research and recruitment office, the application department and relevant teachers.
Third, interpersonal network. Of course, it's best to find a brother or sister who has just finished the postgraduate examination of this major, whether it's an acquaintance, an introduction by others or even a stranger.
Fourth, authoritative remedial classes. Authoritative postgraduate remedial classes often collect and occupy a lot of valuable information and provide it to their own students. Choosing a good remedial class is equivalent to finding a reliable and stable information source.
Fifth, business behavior. At present, many colleges and universities have some specialized postgraduate service institutions, and you can get the information you need directly by paying a certain membership fee. At the same time, you can also pay for some materials you need, such as examination papers and answers over the years, professional course notes, etc. by posting advertisements and leaving messages on BBS.
Of course, collecting information is only a basic work, and it cannot replace mastering knowledge itself. So in the process of postgraduate entrance examination, you can't spend too much time and energy in this respect. Once you get the information you need, you should put it into your study.
There are some things to pay attention to when collecting information. For example, if you ask for a professional catalogue from a foreign research and recruitment office, you should consider that the research and recruitment office receives a large number of such letters every day, but the manpower is limited and the work is busy, so it is impossible to mail them to you for free, and it is impossible to reply separately. At this time, if you mail 3-5 yuan RMB at the same time and write the returned envelope, there will be no problem. In addition, it is more convenient and quick to collect information about authoritative postgraduate classes and postgraduate schools for bookstores.
1, get familiar with the test center in advance. Candidates should fully consider the road conditions on the day of the exam and make arrangements in a
