I like playing chess, but I feel my intelligence is not as good as before. Memory and logical thinking ability decline, and chess skills are also poor. However, compared with before, I can learn more from chess, which is also a way to give up my life! So when it comes to postgraduate entrance examination, I hope to start with chess and say something about postgraduate entrance examination and what it has in common.
The goal of chess is to destroy the opponent's generals (handsome), but many people fail to grasp this goal. Some people covet the interests of a word on the chessboard and greedy children; Others want to send their strength across the river quickly and occupy other people's territory. Once you meet a master, you are likely to collapse completely. Therefore, in chess, there will be a saying that "it is better to lose a son than to lose a son first", and there will be a tactic of "retreating for progress".
After talking so much about chess, students who are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination may be impatient-what we want to know is the postgraduate entrance examination. Why do you always talk about chess? Actually, if you think about it carefully, I'm talking about the postgraduate entrance examination.
Before I go into details, I'd like to introduce myself briefly. I applied for a master's degree in electrical engineering from Hohai University. The main reasons for this choice are: first, Hehai's master's degree is two English books and two English books, which is relatively easy to review; Second, the rivers and seas are in Nanjing, and I like the cultural heritage of Nanjing; Third, Jiang Hai specializes in two years, so he can work early to earn money. In view of the reasons I mentioned above, you can make a Sherlock Holmes inference: first, this is a standard scum; Second, he may be a classical man who likes traditional culture and doesn't like to follow the fashion; Third, it is definitely 24K pure diaosi, and I want to make money quickly.
I asked myself the same question. Why do people like me get into graduate school? -Don't you like stories about diaosi's counterattack? Yes, there are diaosi here, but it is not necessarily a counterattack. In short, I have too many disadvantages compared with others. But fortunately, I got a relatively lucky result. The result of the initial test is 362, the second grade of mathematics is rubbish 102, the professional course is not satisfactory 1 16, the second grade of English is quite satisfactory, and the political luck is good. The retest score was 3 12, and the final ranking was 19. Finally, analyze the results, and talk about the more important ones first.
In retrospect, perhaps my greatest advantage is my mentality. So I want to talk about my mentality first.
I talked about chess earlier. I wonder if you can see what kind of mentality this is? If I still don't understand, let me sum up some questions you often ask: my review progress is much slower than theirs, so I am very anxious. What should I do? I heard that so-and-so students have connections in so-and-so school, but I didn't. What should I do? They study at 1 1 every night. When they return to the dormitory, they will watch politics for half an hour with lanterns on. I became sleepy after 10: 30. What should I do? Many students applied for this school together. Should I avoid their competition and choose another school? ..... There are many similar problems, and I classify students who are obsessed with these problems as "phobias".
In fact, I asked myself these questions at the beginning, but I didn't get too entangled. Maybe it's because I can play chess Yes, I am talking about chess again. Don't feel puzzled. Of course, I'm not asking you to learn chess before taking the postgraduate entrance examination. But if you want to know how to play chess, you must grasp the key points and remember that your purpose is to "take the thief as the head." Many people always like to compare themselves with others when evaluating themselves, and simply quantify a one-sided indicator, such as learning time, speed, assistance and competition ... But when you take these as evaluation criteria, you are actually lost, and you have fallen into the trap of others. The effective way to avoid getting lost is to stick to your own direction. I think, in fact, you should judge yourself by whether you waste time on your purpose to achieve useless things. For example, the so-called useless things are the aforementioned worries and comparisons. It's enough to be yourself. Who cares what others do? You can only control yourself, but you can't control others Even if you can, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
The magic prescription of "finding the right direction" can not only cure "fear", but also cure "chop and change". The so-called "chop and change" means that you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination for a while, get a job for a while, go to the postgraduate entrance examination exchange meeting for a while, and then go to the job market to submit your resume. To tell the truth, I have had this disease, and it is very serious. It almost killed me. Later, although he saved his life, he finally left a sequela. I call this event "Waterloo in October".
At that time, I just finished reviewing mathematics for the first time, and I felt good, which bred a little complacency; Then the enrollment announcement was announced, but unfortunately, the professional courses were in a steady state, which seriously interfered with the review plan; At the beginning of the employment season, the scale of recruitment has been constantly impacted, and I began to wander around various job fairs; The carnival in the dormitory entered a climax, and one after another was noisy enough, and there was no way to rest at noon and night; The study room began to be chaotic, and many students who didn't take the postgraduate entrance examination came to prepare for all kinds of entrance examinations and played while eating ... In short, this series of messy things piled up and gave me the most serious blow. Pain and confusion filled my heart, and my self-confidence turned into a serious inferiority complex, and I began to suffer. It was the darkest day during my preparation for the exam, but I think it may be your most precious experience. How did I overcome it? Changing dormitories, changing study rooms, and sacrificing the time of reviewing mathematics for the second time to study steady state finally managed to find the state, and made a plan to cross the rubicon and make a final attempt. However, since then, my self-confidence has gone.
Looking back now, in fact, any problems in professional courses, study rooms and dormitories are excuses: if you don't waste your time watching movies in dormitories and submitting resumes at job fairs, steady review of professional courses and the second round of review of mathematics can be considered; Before the summer vacation, the study room was even more chaotic than it is now. During the summer vacation, I used the study room in a college of East School, and the environment was far worse than it is now. The dormitory problem has always existed. In summer vacation, the dormitory is on the top floor, and it is too hot to sleep all night in summer. Since those are not reasons, what's the problem? I think the job fair in 10 mainly disturbed my thoughts and made me forget my original intention. It can be seen that "finding the right direction" is easy for me, but I didn't do it myself! However, I think my long article may be helpful to you. After all, I didn't read this article at first.
Some time before the first exam, I tried my best to master as much knowledge as possible, while deceiving myself desperately, telling myself that I had to finish the exam first anyway. In fact, at that time, I was convinced that I couldn't pass the exam, but giving up halfway was not my character. I'm used to finishing what I started. So I thought at that time, no matter what, I will use this exam to pay homage to my youth! The mentality of broken pots and broken falls made me abandon a lot of pressure, but I didn't let go of my pursuit of hope. In short, I was pessimistic at that time, but pessimism was not enough to make me give up. During the exam, I gave full play to the "rogue spirit". No matter whether he likes it or not, just fill in all the blanks. At that time, I also felt wryly that it would be difficult to grade teachers if the examination fees were not wasted. The final result is that there is no place to put my test paper when I hand it in.
The highest score in the initial test is 320, giving up hope directly. That morning, I was still doing Selected Graduates's topic at home, and I didn't expect to prepare for the second interview at all. In fact, the day of the second interview was very tense, because I was in a bad mood at that time. Because I went for a second interview, I thought a lot and didn't want to leave so despondently. My classmate Zhang Yangyang, who went with me, ranked second from the bottom in the initial test. On the contrary, he overcame it and, in his words, took the exam with me. Classmate Yang Yang retaliated against the bully, from 52 to 28, laughing brilliantly at the end. Therefore, I'd better let him tell you the details of the second interview.
The final result was beyond my expectation. I said I was lucky. But there is inevitability in accident. Re-examining my past preparation time, I think maybe I just won in my mind.
A few days ago, watching the World Table Tennis Championships, CCTV invited Zhang Yining as a guest to explain a game between herself and Guo Yan. At that time, she got the match point with 10:7 and scored another goal to become a grand slam winner. When reviewing those key goals, she also talked from a psychological point of view rather than a technical point of view. When she talked about the score of 10:7, she began to think about the score and how to win one with three goals. But it was precisely because he didn't concentrate on the ball that Guo Yan chased three points. At this time, she began to adjust her mentality and focus on how to hit the ball at present, so as to win with 13: 1 1.
In my opinion, chess, table tennis, postgraduate entrance examination and many other things are all reasonably related.

Finally, by the way, mention something substantive. Many people prefer to see specific methods. But I have to say, my method may not be suitable for you. Before, a classmate asked me how to review all subjects. To be honest, I didn't carry out my plan well.
Math test 102 is considered to be extraordinary. The political score may be positively influenced by my previous work experience in the news department, which is vague and can be pulled, but I suggest that you read through the textbooks of modern history before the summer vacation, like me. I read them as novels when I don't want to study. After watching them, I was so moved that my blood boiled and I only came to a conclusion-our party was really great! The review of professional courses is not bad. I advise you not to be too arrogant. All the questions should be done by yourself. The last question in the specialized course was the original work I read, and I couldn't work it out at that time. I wonder how this abnormal topic can be tested again. When you do the last question in the exam, reach out and hit your face directly. That's a real face!
I am very satisfied with English. After all, I didn't even pass CET-6 before the postgraduate entrance examination. Here, I can say a little more: I made the basic version of the yellow book in the early stage and did it very seriously. I must understand every word and sentence in every article. I didn't finish reading the yellow book until the summer vacation ended in March. I don't blindly pursue speed, I only ask that every article I do be rewarded. I can only do one article in the afternoon, and sometimes I can't finish it. In addition, in the morning, in addition to memorizing words, we should read the real articles in the Yellow Book repeatedly to review and cultivate a sense of language. Since September, I have bought the second yellow book of English, and I have done the same, but I have omitted the step of looking up words and mainly looked at the analysis of ideas. You can probably do two articles in this afternoon, and sometimes you will do several articles in succession first, and then spend the next few days analyzing them. This kind of slow and steady, I think it is still very effective for people at my level. Start the simulation one month before the exam. I did the simulation problem I bought at first, but the difficulty is too different from the real problem. I reprinted a set of real English II questions and did it again. Composition and translation began at that time, and they can only be thinned after accumulation. With the previous accumulation, these are natural. In addition, I recommend a software for memorizing words, which is called Bai Ji Dictionary. Every night after the lights are turned off, I will write something on it. They all recite words in the later stage.
In fact, I don't want to write this last point, but I will make do with it if my classmates ask me.
Can be selectively ignored.
