Myth 1: The examination cycle is longer.
Xiao Chen, a candidate, thinks that the sooner the postgraduate entrance examination is reviewed, the better. He began to collect materials, read counseling books, recite English words and do real questions over the years from the winter vacation of his junior year, but he was interrupted for four months by his usual homework next semester. When preparing for the exam again in the summer vacation, he found that all the knowledge he had read before had been forgotten, and preparing for the exam too early did not have a good effect.
Expert comment: From the perspective of laying a foundation, it is not a bad thing for candidates to prepare early. However, if candidates clearly prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination at the beginning of review, it will not be easy to start early. First of all, candidates who take too long to prepare for the exam will enter the fatigue period prematurely, leading to giving up the exam before the exam. Secondly, in the face of more and more flexible postgraduate entrance examination, it is not enough to just memorize the designated teaching materials, but also to have a broader understanding of the subject field. In addition, the outline of postgraduate entrance examination, especially the political outline, often changes every year. Therefore, preparation for postgraduate entrance examination is not as early as possible. The key is to cultivate one's ability and accumulate knowledge in peacetime. At the same time, we should arrange the review plan reasonably according to the nature of different subjects. Generally, it is enough to enter the preliminary preparation and overall planning stage in the summer vacation of junior year.
Myth 2: Take more remedial classes.
Candidate Xiao Du believes that the more remedial classes you attend, the better your grades and the greater your chances of being admitted. During the postgraduate entrance examination, he participated in basic classes in spring, intensive classes in summer, punching classes in autumn and pre-examination classes. In the end, there was no obvious improvement in grades, and too many make-up classes became a burden.
Expert comment: The remedial classes for postgraduate entrance examination are often very tense. A class lasts about 3 hours, and the teacher speaks quickly. Candidates are very tired after listening to it. It needs to be digested and absorbed after class. Candidates are advised not to attend multiple remedial classes at the same time and not to be greedy for perfection. In addition, the teaching level of teachers in remedial classes is uneven, and candidates should choose those with good reputation. In fact, the remedial class is not the most important, it can only play a role in guiding the direction. The key is that candidates should master the principles and core knowledge points in the textbook themselves.
Myth 3: What is the hot news?
Xiao Li, a candidate, believes that some graduate students with unpopular majors are not good at finding jobs now, while graduate students with popular majors are easy to find jobs. Although Xiao Li was admitted to the Master of Law as he wished, he felt that he was not suitable for this major during his study, and a Master of Law with no work experience did not have much advantage in finding a job.
Expert comment: This kind of candidates don't know what major they really want to study, but listen to others saying which major is popular and blindly follow the trend, or see some people enter a big company after graduation, and the salary is very rich, so they decide to squeeze in at all costs, but after working for a period of time, they find that their ambition is not here, and it is very difficult to change careers at that time. Candidates should have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of their major before deciding to take the cross-disciplinary examination.
