If I sum up the reasons for my success, it is to plan myself carefully by mathematical methods-time is limited, energy is limited, and reasonable distribution is crucial to success or failure! Postgraduate entrance examination is not so much a contest of knowledge as a contest of spirit! Confidence+forgetfulness+persistence = success.
About postgraduate entrance examination
Why do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination? This involves the motivation of the postgraduate entrance examination. The enrollment expansion of college entrance examination since 1999 has made the number of college students increase rapidly, and the employment pressure faced by undergraduate graduates is increasing. Many undergraduates plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination. However, if you can't find a good way out just because you graduated, your motivation is insufficient. This is also the reason why many candidates began to give up with confidence. There are only two reasons for my postgraduate entrance examination: interest. It's not my interest in postgraduate entrance examination, but my interest in applying for a major. Probably because I have participated in the work for a period of time, I have a deeper understanding of the true meaning of "combining theory with practice". The relatively simple theory I learned in undergraduate course can't meet the needs of practice, and the need for further study is the driving force for my postgraduate entrance examination.
Studying in a foreign language school in junior high school and senior high school is a freshman in arts and sciences. After choosing science, the advantages of mathematics and foreign languages and the disadvantages of politics are my basic situation. However, the four-year liberal arts study has narrowed the gap between my strengths and weaknesses, and the probability of failure in the postgraduate entrance examination is very small. Although the specialized courses in Peking University are more difficult, I am also an economics major, so I am confident to win the specialized courses, so I decided to apply for graduate students majoring in finance in Peking University School of Economics.
Second, the feeling of mathematics: calm and calm, the wind of the king
Because of the perfect score in mathematics for postgraduate entrance examination, this paper mainly introduces some experiences and ideas of mathematics review, hoping to help those who are still on the road to postgraduate entrance examination.
1. The importance of mathematics
The importance of mathematics for the postgraduate entrance examination is known to all students who took the mathematics examination. Since 2003, it has been 150, which accounts for a large proportion in the total score of the postgraduate entrance examination. In contrast, politics and English add up to only 200 points. Let's work out an account. A person who scored 75 points in politics and English scored 20 points more than a person who scored 65 points in both subjects. Mathematics 125 is 30 points more than 95 points; In contrast, the latter reads fewer books and spends less time than the former, and the goal is easy to achieve. Therefore, for students who have a good foundation in mathematics or have great development potential, they should spend more time in mathematics, strengthen their own advantages, and use mathematics to open scores with others (of course, spending more time here is a strategy adopted on the premise that there is no problem in crossing the line in a single subject). For students with poor math foundation, you should make great efforts, because math may be the only reason why you are discredited in Sun Shan.
plan
Make a plan before you start reviewing. Planning can make you know fairly well, master the review progress, adjust your mentality through planning and increase your confidence. Of course, the plan should not be too ambitious or too cautious, and it should be constantly adjusted.
3. Three rounds of review
Mathematics review, the general candidates use three rounds of review method, I also use this method. The first round mainly focuses on basic concepts and exercises, with emphasis on mathematics syllabus and advanced mathematics textbooks. The reference books I use are: Advanced Mathematics published by Zhejiang University, Probability Theory published by Tsinghua, and Mathematics Review Guide published by Chen Wendeng and Huang Xiankai for linear algebra. This round of review must be carried out before the remedial class, so as to keep up with the teacher's thinking in class and improve the efficiency of listening to the class, rather than taking notes mechanically. The second round is the promotion stage. This round is mainly about reading Chen Wendeng and Huang Xiankai's "Guide to Mathematics Review" and the notes of Wendeng School's mathematics tutorial class. The book "Guide to Mathematics Review" is very important for sorting out the thinking of mathematics review, improving the level of solving problems and checking whether the first round of review is comprehensive. Mathematics notes in Wendeng remedial class are also very important, which is the key factor for me to get good grades. Every problem in the class notes should be understood and done, and the ideas for solving the same problem should be diversified. For the familiar knowledge points, we should consider whether there are other methods to solve the problem. Therefore, insisting on combining notes with books can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The second round is a very important stage. For the test sites that have not been involved, mastered or reviewed in the first round, the second round must be done well, not only to ensure that the knowledge points reviewed are fully in place, but also to improve the level of mathematical problem solving. It can be said that the second round directly determines your score. The third round is the stage of doing simulation questions to check for leaks and fill gaps. Students who attend the math class in Wendeng School should do "exam exercises" at the end of the second round, because the thinking of this simulation problem is basically the same as that of the teacher in the remedial class, which can test your understanding of the content of the remedial class and strengthen the thinking of solving problems. Students who take the economic examination should do some simulation questions of Mr. Yan Shouquan while completing the simulation questions. It is enough to have about 10 sets of simulation questions, but you must not do difficult simulation questions before the exam, which will cause great psychological pressure on you, and it is easy to lose confidence in the final stage, which is not conducive to psychological adjustment.
4. Timetable
The time of three rounds of review is about four months (including the time of attending remedial classes), one and a half months is the first round, two months is the second round (it is best to attend math remedial classes in the early or late stage of this round), and the remaining half month is the third round. Finally, spend a week looking at the notes and exercises you have done before, especially the mistakes you made. Three rounds, arrange 3~4 hours to review math every day. It only took me four months to learn math. September ~ 65438+1mid-October is the first round. During this period, I took advantage of the weekend of 65438+ 10 and 165438+ 10 to attend the last autumn class of Wendeng school, which was the fastest stage of my mathematics progress. With the first round of review, under the teacher's explanation, many abstract and vague concepts and things that are not well understood in the brain become clear and hierarchical; And problem-solving thinking is basically formed in this period. I finished the second round in early February, 65438+. At this time, I have a great feeling about mathematics. At least I can work out the questions and guides in Wendeng's class by myself. In the third round, I still encountered some problems (most of them are difficult problems), and the rest of the time was basically to cultivate thinking with high questions. At this time, my mind is very relaxed. I usually finish two or three simulation questions in two to two and a half hours every week, and my score basically reaches 130. Don't cling to problems that you don't understand at the moment, you can discuss them with your classmates (it is very important to discuss problems with your classmates, which will be introduced below). Finally, there is still a week before the exam, leaving the last set of simulation questions. The rest of the time is to read Wendeng's math notes, memorize what you already understand, and ensure that you don't lose to yourself in the examination room.
Third, the help of the allies in the postgraduate entrance examination, win-win strategy
Finding a good ally in the review process can benefit you a lot, which is also my suggestion to the students taking the postgraduate entrance examination (of course, it is impossible to meet). In the third round, we encountered an economic problem about the verification of rice field conditions, and there were three problems. I can easily solve the first two problems, but for the third problem, the conclusion I verified is that there is no solution, that is, there is no possibility to make the paddy field condition hold, and the two parts of the hypothetical condition given are just the opposite. This conclusion rarely appears in the mathematical operation of economics. I have never met before, so I have always been skeptical about my conclusion. The right or wrong of this question is not very important, but it breeds doubts about one's ability. At this time, I met a classmate who took an economics exam. Although I don't know him well, I still have to beg him to do the same. He is good at mathematics and belongs to the kind of person who has a thorough understanding of mathematics and economic knowledge. He did it three times before and after and found that the conclusion was the same as mine. This result cheered me up and greatly inspired my fighting spirit. In less than a month, we quickly became good friends, learning from each other and reviewing various problems. He helped me broaden my thinking and vision of solving problems (I believe it is the same for him). The help of a good friend who takes the postgraduate entrance examination not only increases your knowledge capacity and information, but also helps to adjust your mentality. This kind of mutual assistance is immeasurable and a win-win strategy. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to my research friends and friends, and also to the teachers and staff of Wendeng School who have given me a lot of help! My success is inseparable from your little help and efforts, thank you! Plan in detail and be firm. I always believe: Heaven rewards diligence!
Comments: Interest is a teacher, because it stimulates our curiosity and enables us to persevere in the face of difficulties and find solutions. Xin Yang prepares for the postgraduate entrance examination from the interest, which is one of the reasons why many students can persist in the long road of postgraduate entrance examination and finally succeed. However, most interests are not innate and can be cultivated. So in the postgraduate entrance examination, if you are interested, you should further develop this interest. If you are not interested, you should cultivate your interest, and your major should be properly combined with your interest. Xin Yang also realized the importance of mathematics. Since the reform of postgraduate entrance examination, the full mark of mathematics has been changed to 150, far exceeding the scores of English and politics. Therefore, making more efforts in mathematics is bound to gain greater competitive advantage.
