Second, the postgraduate entrance examination procedure

[Edit this paragraph]

Postgraduate entrance examination is related to the future of college students, and many students are thinking about this issue earlier and earlier. It is very common to start preparing for the next semester from junior year, and some people even start thinking about it from freshman year to sophomore year. Indeed, on this big issue, whether to do it or not and how to do it will take more time. When you start to think about this problem, the first thing you need to know is the whole process of the postgraduate entrance examination, which stages you will go through, and what you will do at what time, so that you can make arrangements early and plan carefully. According to my understanding, the postgraduate entrance examination will generally go through the following processes.

(a) contact with the school, determine the specific school, major, and obtain specific examination information.

If you decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination and determine the general school and major scope, you should contact the school to obtain the latest enrollment information and finally determine the school and major to apply for. There are several ways to obtain professional information:

1, admissions brochure. Generally released in July and August, by the graduate admissions departments (graduate schools, graduate offices) announced. It will list: the name, code, mailing address, postal code and contact number of the enrollment unit; Number of enrollment majors (some are based on the whole specific enrollment unit such as departments, institutes, hospitals and centers, and some are specific to each major); Tutors (some are not published, most of them belong to training); Some will also list the number of entrusted training, at their own expense, etc. , but the number of places to be recommended and the number of students to be retained are generally not listed (but this is really important information for candidates); Examination subjects; Reference books used (many schools do not list them, and even if they do, they often list too many or too few books).

Therefore, it can be seen that the information in the enrollment brochures of most enrollment units is far from enough for candidates. These are the most basic information, and the key information is not listed.

2. Instructions issued by the department office and a set of professional course questions. In order to make up for the deficiency of the enrollment brochure, candidates should keep calling to ask for some relevant information. Some enrollment units (usually specific enrollment units such as departments, colleges, institutes, and centers) will issue some special instructions, such as the number of applicants, the number of admissions, the admission ratio, the admission score line, and the bibliography. However, the number of students who walk and keep their school status cannot be announced because they usually have to wait until 165438+.

If the department can publish the examination papers of professional courses in recent years, it will be a great boon for candidates. If you don't see the previous test paper, reviewing for the exam is tantamount to a blind man touching an elephant. But unfortunately, there are still few units that publish test questions. How to find professional test questions depends on personal ability. However, some postgraduate websites have collected many professional topics, which provides great convenience for candidates.

3. Mentor. Being able to get in touch with a mentor and get one or two pointers from him will undoubtedly be even more powerful. But this is not easy, because tutors are usually very busy, even if they are in contact, they should pay attention to each other's communication methods. It is also interesting that many graduate students report that the better the school, the less necessary it is to contact a tutor. Good schools generally have more transparent information, less black-box operations, more standardized questions, and few digressions and strange questions.

I am a graduate student. Compared with tutors, it is better to find some graduate students, provide more "practical" information and speak more realistically. Therefore, I suggest that if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, try to find a postgraduate consultation, and you will never regret it.

5. Postgraduate entrance examination information released by various print media.

6. Website. If you can surf the Internet, there are many websites for postgraduate entrance examination, which can provide a lot of information.

(2) Prepare in advance

After getting enough professional course information and finding complete review materials, it's time to read and review. Everyone has his own methods about how to review, and there are also some methods that everyone has explored and recognized. As for how to review, such as when to start reviewing, how to review public courses, how to review professional courses, whether to attend remedial classes, and many other issues, it may be necessary to discuss them separately in several articles before making it clear.

(3) Registration

The registration time is usually 1 1 month, and in recent years it is 10- 14. When students register, they are registered by the school. On-the-job registration is generally in the school that the Municipal Education Commission has recruited or applied for. You can register in different places, that is, you can register for the exam in different places because of business trips and other reasons.

When applying for registration, you can fill in the first choice and the second choice. The specialized course test questions of the postgraduate examination are the propositions of all enrollment units, so you should take the examination according to your first choice test questions.

On-the-job personnel often encounter two problems when applying for the exam:

1. When a large number of on-the-job employees apply, the unit does not agree to apply for the exam and does not give a letter of introduction. Many of them explained that they must serve the unit for n years when recruiting you for a job. During this period, they are not allowed to transfer schools or take postgraduate exams.

If the unit where the file is located does not agree to open a letter of introduction, how to solve it is a very troublesome thing. Many students found another company with acquaintances to open it, and some even went to the streets to find a secret official seal engraver to sign up. However, it is risky to do so, because after the initial test is passed, the school will send a letter to the unit where the file is located to adjust the file. At this time, if the unit is angry, it will be very difficult. Moreover, the school generally stipulates that if the unit that issued the letter of introduction when applying for the exam is inconsistent with the unit where the file is located, the admission qualification of the candidate will be cancelled.

2. Another problem that many employees encounter is the equivalence of academic qualifications, that is, how to apply for college students and candidates below college students. According to the regulations, candidates with the same academic level must have two years' work experience when entering graduate school. For example, a junior college student who graduated in July 20001year can go to graduate school in September 2003. In this case, he can take the postgraduate entrance examination in June 2003 and register in June 2002. He should have started preparing for review long ago, even as soon as he graduated.

One more question. Many schools have other regulations for candidates with the same academic ability, such as requiring CET-4 certificate or publishing papers in related fields. When deciding which school to apply for, candidates must look at the latest enrollment brochure in advance to avoid wasting time.

(4) Initial test

The initial test is usually in 1 and February, before the Spring Festival 1 and 2 weeks. There are 4 exams for 2 days, each lasting 3 hours, and there are also two and a half days of exams. The examination place is generally in the test center set up by the High School Admissions Office of the Municipal Education Commission, or in the colleges and universities that enroll students. Candidates can choose these two test sites when registering.

(5) adjustment

About two weeks after the winter vacation, 1 and the start of school in spring, the results of professional courses almost came out. You can call the department and the admissions office to ask. In 1 and 2 weeks, the results of public courses will also come out. It is very important to send a second interview notice later. If the ranking is not particularly ideal and the admission is ambiguous, it is necessary to contact the applicant (department) and tutor more. I really don't see if it is possible to study entrusted training at my own expense or transfer to another school.

(6) Second interview

The second interview is generally around 5. 1, which is generally an equal interview, and a few popular majors will choose the difference second interview. For candidates with the same academic qualifications, the school generally has to conduct a written test on the core courses of this major. In the past two years, the country has also conducted experiments to test oral English in better schools, such as Tsinghua University and Peking University. But generally speaking, most schools interview on an equal footing, which can be said to be very relaxed, mainly talking about some interest in learning, what books they read, what aspects they are interested in, how teachers taught them during their undergraduate years, and so on. The professional knowledge they ask is also the most basic content. For most schools, as long as you are not a substitute, there is no problem in general admission when you receive the notice of re-examination.

(7) Admission

After the second interview, the school will send a letter to the unit where your file is located and transfer your file to the school. After checking that there are no major problems (mainly political problems), issue an admission notice and transfer all your relationships, including organization, household registration and salary relationship, to the school (except entrusted training).

After receiving the letter of admission, you can rush to your favorite school according to the above registration time, usually in early September. The general notice will require candidates to report on time in a few days, neither early nor late, but in fact, you can report two days earlier, and maybe you can get some benefits, such as picking up a bed in a good position.

New Postgraduate Entrance Examination Network ()

The number of graduate students has declined.

Postgraduate entrance examination shows signs of cooling, starting in 2007. Professional analysis: The following situations may be the reasons for the decrease in the number of postgraduate students.

First, the quality of postgraduate training has declined.

At present, the problem of graduate enrollment structure in China has begun to appear: the enrollment ratio of majors with great social needs has decreased, while the enrollment ratio of some majors with relatively difficult employment for graduates has increased. In addition, it also shows a high proportion of academic graduate students and a low proportion of applied graduate students.

In recent years, great changes have taken place in China's postgraduate training policy, such as increasing the number of admission places year by year and shortening the educational system from three years to two years, which has reduced the admission standards and training quality of postgraduate students. In colleges and universities, graduate education used to be one-to-one or one-to-two between tutors and students. Nowadays, it is common for a teacher to take many students, and some even take doctoral students. Many students don't even see their tutors several times a month. With the increase of the number of graduate students, the traditional discussion teaching is unsustainable, and the training mode is still that teachers talk, students listen, and teacher-student interaction is less and less, which is not very helpful to the cultivation of students' practical ability.

Second, the employment form of graduates is becoming increasingly severe.

In 2006, the first batch of graduate students began to enter the market after enrollment expansion. In the past two years, their employment forms have become more and more severe. Most graduate students want to stay in big cities for employment, with a monthly salary of about 3,000 yuan. However, compared with undergraduates, the advantages of graduate students are not obvious. If they want to stay in school, they don't have enough education. Want to take an examination of civil servants, the competition is fierce; At the same time, they don't have much practical experience, and they still have to learn from scratch when they arrive at the enterprise.

The employment situation of popular graduate students in some key universities is relatively good, but there are still quite a few graduate students who are at a loss about employment. In 2007, the employment statistics of college graduates released by various provinces showed that the initial employment rate of undergraduates in many provinces and cities was higher than that of postgraduates for the first time. This makes many college graduates flinch from the postgraduate entrance examination. As long as you find a job at the undergraduate level, you will no longer prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Third, the civil service examination is getting hotter and hotter.

With the increasing employment pressure of undergraduate and graduate students, many college students have turned their attention to the civil service examination in order to gain the status of "fame and fortune".

Since 2002, the number of applicants for the national civil service examination in China has surged, and the number of applicants in 2008 was the highest in the past years. According to the data of the Ministry of Personnel, 640,000 people passed the exam in 2008, an increase of 12% over last year. More and more graduates are keen to take this exam, which also reduces the heat of postgraduate entrance examination.

Fourth, the cost of postgraduate entrance examination has increased.

Since 2008, many universities across the country have begun to implement the reform of postgraduate fees. After the reform, the tuition system for postgraduate education no longer distinguishes between public fees and self-fees, but supports outstanding postgraduate students by granting scholarships and grants. For most graduate students, this will inevitably increase the cost of graduate study.

Generally speaking, the cost of preparation for postgraduate entrance examination plus three-year tuition is about 40,000 yuan, plus accommodation and living expenses are at least 70,000 yuan. In the future, when you are employed, your monthly income can only be several hundred yuan higher than that of undergraduate students. People earn more money than you in three years, which is not worth it.

From the perspective of time cost, three years of graduate students is the golden time of life, so you should work hard in your career. Especially for female college students, the increase of age is a problem that must be considered, including the possibility of getting married and having children within a few years of work, which employers will definitely consider. These are all very realistic problems.

To this end, many students also choose to study abroad. According to the latest figures provided by the British Embassy, in 2007 alone, more than 20,000 China students studied in Britain. In foreign countries, it usually takes only 1 year or 1 year and a half to get a graduate degree.

Five, the inevitable result of society entering a relatively stable stage.

First of all, students' value orientation has changed. They are no longer "learning for the sake of learning" as in the past, but more objective in the face of fierce competition. Many people hold the attitude of "looking for a job before charging".

Secondly, the concept of employers has changed. Employers' choice of talents is changing from "education" to "ability", and they no longer pursue the so-called "high consumption" of talents. The heads of some enterprises say that students who are directly admitted to the master's degree in undergraduate courses have no work experience, but they have to pay higher remuneration than undergraduates, and the cost will increase.

Thirdly, the "academic worship" of society is also cooling down year by year. Students and parents have a more rational and pragmatic understanding of academic qualifications. They don't study for "academic qualifications", but choose a combination of their own interests and abilities. Many students have been diverted from high school to vocational schools, and some choose to "return to the furnace" after graduating from college, and then engage in jobs that are more suitable for them.

Some requirements for postgraduate entrance examination with the same academic level.

Self-taught postgraduate entrance examination: different academic qualifications have different requirements.

Can self-taught candidates apply for graduate students? How to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination with different academic qualifications? Recently, Beijing Examination Daily has received many consultation calls from self-taught candidates. Here, the author reminds candidates that it depends on whether they are undergraduate or junior college graduates.

You can apply for an undergraduate course directly.

Candidates: graduated from the self-taught undergraduate course and have obtained the undergraduate diploma and bachelor's degree certificate; Graduated from the self-taught undergraduate course, has obtained the undergraduate diploma, but failed to obtain a bachelor's degree.

Self-taught candidates with bachelor's degree and bachelor's degree can apply directly; Self-taught candidates who hold a bachelor's degree certificate but do not have a bachelor's degree can generally apply directly, but if there are special provisions, they should consult the institutions to be applied for. For example, in Peking University's 2007 Master's Admissions Guide, it is stipulated as: "Those who have a nationally recognized bachelor's degree (generally subject to a bachelor's degree)"; In 2007, Renmin University of China enrolled graduate students to study for a master's degree, stipulating that "those who have a nationally recognized bachelor's degree" and "those who take the self-study examination for higher education must obtain a bachelor's degree certificate before they can apply for a master's degree".

Candidates with undergraduate diplomas and degree certificates can invest in research and review as soon as possible according to their actual situation; Candidates who do not have a degree certificate should first consult the institutions they intend to apply for to determine their academic qualifications, and then adjust the institutions they intend to apply for according to the specific situation and put them into research and audit.

The same academic ability is conditional.

Candidates: self-taught college graduates, and self-taught undergraduate students are about to graduate.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, college students who apply for graduate students must reach the same academic level as undergraduates at least two years after graduation, and meet other requirements of graduate enrollment units. For example, it is stipulated in Peking University's 2007 Master's Admissions Guide: "Candidates who have studied or worked for two years or more after obtaining a nationally recognized junior college degree (from graduation of junior college to September 1 day of the year when they were admitted to the master's degree)", "Candidates who apply for the exam with the same academic ability must publish at least one academic paper related to their major in the national core journal in 2007 (before signing the contract), and China Renmin University will recruit master's students. It stipulates: "To apply for our school, those with the same academic ability must meet the following conditions: after obtaining the nationally recognized diploma of junior college, after more than two years (from graduation of junior college to September 1 day, 2007), they have reached the same academic ability as undergraduate graduates; At the time of registration, the foreign language should reach the national level 4; During the second interview, try two major undergraduate courses in professional universities; Submit a thesis equivalent to the level of bachelor's degree (no less than 65,438+0,000 words) or 3 articles published in newspapers and periodicals during the second interview. "

Candidates who are about to graduate from the self-taught undergraduate course can apply for the same academic qualifications because they failed to obtain the undergraduate diploma at the time of on-site confirmation. However, such candidates can generally get an undergraduate diploma after taking the postgraduate entrance examination. It is recommended that candidates go to the local provincial and municipal self-examination offices to issue relevant certificates, and then submit the certificates after passing the preliminary examination and re-examination, and show the original undergraduate diploma to see if they can be admitted as undergraduate graduates after re-examination. The regulations of colleges and universities are different, so candidates must consult the research and recruitment department of colleges and universities first.

There are many restrictions on applying for graduate school with the same academic level, and it is difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Candidates are advised to take the undergraduate diploma and re-take the degree. During the undergraduate course, it is best to combine majors, practice more and accumulate more. Even candidates with a good foundation should apply for the same academic ability and do what they can according to their own strength.
