1. About choosing schools and setting majors

Before exchanging experiences, let me briefly introduce my personal situation for your reference. My major is chemical engineering and technology. Changzhou University is an undergraduate college, starting with petrochemical industry, so the ranking of this major is still in the past.

I think everyone is very cautious when applying for colleges and universities, because it is related to their own level and their study career in the next three years. The college I applied for is the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Xiamen University.

The applied major is chemical engineering, and the reasons for application are as follows:

(1) The difficulty is moderate.

The difficulty of applying for the exam is moderate. If you rank the difficulty in the colleges that apply for this major, the most difficult one is 10, which is about 7 to 8. It is not as difficult as Tianda and Zhejiang University, but it is more difficult than Nanjing University of Technology and Zhejiang University of Technology. (I will discuss the details of the difficulty of applying for the exam in detail later. )

(2) Having a good reputation.

Xiamen University has a long history. It just celebrated its centenary birthday 202 1 last year, just like * * * making a party. Therefore, as a veteran 985,211,it naturally attracted countless candidates from all over the country. Xiamen is a tourist city with good economic level and development, because it is also important for graduate students to choose school districts. Speaking of Xiamen University's chemical industry, although it is not as famous as Xiamen University's chemical industry, it is also famous, and it is also tenable in the national ranking of chemical industry.

(3) Preferential policies

Because I am from Nanjing, I originally wanted to apply for Nanjing University, but unfortunately Nanjing University does not provide accommodation. Considering the surrounding housing prices, this made me back down, so I chose Xiamen University because she provided accommodation. I believe many students will also be very concerned about some scholarship policies in colleges and universities. Xiamen University enjoys the only scholarship policy in China, with tuition 1 1000 yuan and scholarship 1 1000 yuan. As long as you don't fail the course and violate the discipline, you can get this scholarship, which is equivalent to free tuition. You know, many university scholarships are graded. In addition, there are national scholarships and corporate scholarships. You can get it as long as your personal ability is outstanding.

2. Analysis of the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination

Judging from the scores over the years, the scores are gradually rising. I thought that the score of even-numbered years would drop in 22 years this year, but this is not the case. On the contrary, it is 10 higher than 2 1 year, which is why more and more candidates apply for the exam. There is no data on the admission ratio in official website. The following article will analyze the admission ratio for the second interview. If it is reformed, it is a good policy to recruit students separately from the examination of materialization and chemical engineering principles.

3. Initial experience

(1) Review suggestions for various subjects

About Mathematics: First of all, the most important mathematics. For our science and engineering students, it is no exaggeration to say that mathematics is the best in the world, so we must attach importance to mathematics and allocate the most energy and time to mathematics. According to my personal review rhythm, I began to watch the video of Tang Jiafeng's basic course with my girlfriend from the winter vacation, that is, February and March. Here is a little trick to share with you. Never trust your self-discipline at home. If you have a research friend to accompany you, the efficiency will be greatly improved. Of course, it would be better if you are a couple who urge each other to learn.

When I was in the basic class, I didn't start doing exercises at the same time. I just followed the practice in the video class of Teacher Tang's basic course. Here I suggest that you do exercises while watching the class, which can achieve better results. After school, due to the pressure of schoolwork and competition, the review of mathematics is relatively backward, but I try my best to keep in touch with mathematics every day. This is a good habit, I suggest you implement it, because there will be more homework in the third semester. While balancing your homework, you may not have much time to conquer mathematics every day, but you must get in touch with mathematics every day, even if you do a problem.

Because I participated in the chemical design competition and successfully entered the national competition, my summer vacation time was basically abandoned, and almost all my time was spent on the competition. Summer vacation is the golden age of brushing questions, which is especially important for mathematics. Try not to go home this summer vacation. It will be a good choice to stay at school to review. After entering September, I am very nervous, because professional review must also be put on the agenda at this time, but the most important thing is not to ignore the review of mathematics. I still have to spend the most time on math. On the basis of brushing questions in summer vacation, I can look at the courses of intensive classes, brush more questions to improve, or start to contact simulation papers. The tasks of June 10 and June 1 1 focus on the real and simulated questions over the years, in which attention should be paid to the real questions, and it is suggested to sort out the wrong questions while doing them. True questions are the best standard to test yourself, and you should understand every question. It is normal to do some forecasting papers in June 5438+February. At this stage, you may spend a lot of time on politics, but I suggest you keep about 2 hours of math study time every day. When the exam is approaching, it is not recommended that you delve into some difficult and strange questions. You can review the wrong questions sorted out before and consolidate them. Judging from the trend in recent years, at present, the requirements for concepts in postgraduate mathematics are getting higher and higher, so everyone must pay attention to concepts in the review process.

About English: Words are the foundation of everything. I recommend everyone to recite the word book and APP together. Regarding the real question, I suggest you buy the sword yellow book for the first time, and there will be a detailed analysis over the years.

I suggest you only do reading in the early stage, because I took English II, and the real question starts from 20 10. Read an article every day, don't break it, the important thing is to keep your hand feeling. It is normal to make three or four mistakes at the beginning of reading. Don't lose heart, recognize the wrong reasons of each question. According to my personal experience, 99% of the reasons for doing wrong questions are illiteracy. After finishing the first time, you can brush it for the second time, and you can buy cheap real questions over the years for the second time to avoid the traces of the previous papers from affecting the answers. The difficulty of cloze has decreased in recent years. I advise you not to give up, but there is no need to spend too much time. The point is still to read four articles. Of course, composition is also an important part of English for postgraduate entrance examination. If you have a good English foundation, you can recite the template directly and then supplement the content according to the content of the question. If you have a basic knowledge of English, I suggest you follow some courses and have a clear composition structure. We recommend Pan Yun's nine-square grid method. After you have the structure, you can fill in the blanks. Zhou Sicheng's sentences are very good and can be used for reference.

About politics:

The review of politics suggests that it can start in September after the summer vacation. If you start too early, you will forget, because politics is different from other subjects, and it can be a cramming subject. In the first round, I suggest you follow the intensive classes in Xu Tao and Xiao Xiurong, so that you can pass quickly. This round is mainly about understanding. From my personal experience, you will forget it in the future. The first round is finished, probably in the middle and late September. At this time I began to brush the questions. Xiao Xiurong's 1000 question is a better choice. I suggest you sort out the knowledge points before you do the problem, and then do it after you understand it. If you can complete the 1000 question according to this requirement, it will be an ideal state. In the future work, I suggest that you recite more multiple-choice knowledge points and cooperate with small programs to consolidate exercises. When minibus Xiao Si is published, the focus will shift to these two books. You can only do multiple-choice questions in Grade 8, but Xiao Si's multiple-choice questions and big questions must be done. In the last stage, I recommend Sister Leg's composition class, which is very clear and worth listening to. If you think Xiao Si's big questions can't be recited, Sister Leg's composition class is a very good choice.

About specialized courses: this major should take specialized courses to investigate the principle of 828 chemical engineering, and it is suggested to review specialized courses in the summer vacation.

The first round of review begins with books. I think watching video lessons is a waste of time. Therefore, reading the books supplemented by reference books directly will be very boring at this time, but you must pay attention. Xiamen University's careful investigation of the principles of chemical engineering can test any details in books. Everyone can take out their notebooks and write down the difficulties and difficulties on the road through books, which will be of great help in the future. Because I participated in the chemical design competition, I basically didn't have time to take the postgraduate entrance examination during the summer vacation, so I was already very nervous in September. In order to save time, I brush the real questions directly after reading the book. No matter which professional course it is, the real questions are particularly important, and 828 is no exception. I suggest you brush the real questions by module and chapter for the first time. Before you brush the questions, you should sort out the knowledge points in this chapter and consolidate them. After that, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Brush the questions for the second time, just press the set of rolls directly. You don't need a reference book when you brush. Check your true level, brush a few more sets and find the feeling. Of course, if you have enough time, you can brush the titles of some reference books, and even the original titles in other reference books will appear in the real questions of Xiamen University.

(2) Suggestions on 828 professional courses

For the bibliography of mathematics, English and politics, please refer to the highly recognized bibliography in the market. Here is a brief introduction to the bibliography of specialized course 828.

Two official textbooks:

Chemical fluid flow and heat transfer

Chemical mass transfer and separation process

Learning guide of chemical engineering principles

Xiamen University 828 does not inspect distillation and extraction, which is equivalent to reducing a lot of burden. The investigation direction is all the contents in the two textbooks, and any details that are easily overlooked may be investigated. The investigation questions are comprehensive questions and big questions, and the types of questions are relatively fixed. Everyone will know at a glance.

3. Re-examination experience

In 22 years, 130 people entered the second interview, and the retest line was 330 points. It is planned to recruit 90 people, and the re-examination admission rate is 69%.

The content of the re-examination is the candidates' ideological and moral character, professional knowledge, foreign language level, professional ability, scientific research potential and psychological quality. The re-examination method is PPT presentation+questioning, and PPT presentation is conducted according to the interview documents (8 minutes) (3 optional 1). PPT content is personal introduction (1 PPT)+ undergraduate research and training activities (1-2 PPT)+ literature explanation (at least 5-6 PPT)+ life planning (65438). Compared with other colleges and universities, the second interview is not difficult, but it can't be ignored, because there have been examples of brushing high marks over the years, so we must pay attention to the second interview. Generally speaking, the second interview of Xiamen University is a PPT report. Therefore, if you want to make PPT look good, you must ensure that you are proficient in the content on PPT, so that you can answer questions calmly. Remember to practice in advance, complete the report within a time limit and strictly observe the time limit. Of course, you must do a lot of homework in advance to find out what the teacher will ask. I suggest you make a list of things and be aware of them. Scientific research experience is a very important part. I suggest you do these two pages of PPT well. It doesn't matter if you don't have any scientific research experience in the undergraduate stage, you can ask your brothers and sisters for advice and learn their research results. It is difficult to explain the literature, so it is recommended to complete it with classmates, which is more efficient.

Suggest encouragement

Postgraduate entrance examination is a protracted war, and postgraduate entrance examination is an arduous protracted war. If you want to break through all kinds of obstacles on the road to postgraduate entrance examination, overcome all kinds of difficulties and finally reach your destination, your mentality is the most important.

Make up your mind to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

You must make up your mind to do everything well. If you know why you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination and understand your goals, then you already have the most basic mentality of taking the postgraduate entrance examination, because with determination, you can make the right decision and make your goals clearer.

Meet the challenge with confidence

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and strong self-confidence is necessary to complete a protracted war. There will always be some self-doubt in the review process, which is normal. It's not that I'm not confident, but that I have many questions, such as the degree of review and the content of the exam. With self-confidence, you can "cheat" yourself to fight energetically every day!

Stick to it.

To put it bluntly, it means "persistence", which is easier said than done. Many students who failed in the postgraduate entrance examination failed because they didn't persevere and didn't make it to the end. Only those who persist can be called real graduate students.

Treat exams and grades with normality.

Postgraduate entrance examination is just a test for yourself. Don't take it as sacred, and don't be too nervous. You must correctly analyze yourself and treat it with a normal heart.

Review should be patient.

A mountain of information will shake everyone who is full of confidence. This is the time to test your patience. When reviewing, you must study patiently, recite and do problems. You should practice sitting there and watching it, and start learning a little slowly.

Peace of mind when combining work and rest.

Blindly reviewing is not a sign of high efficiency. In addition to the psychology of postgraduate entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination is also a physical examination. So we must pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Just relax and play. Don't think about studying while playing. If you study, you can study with peace of mind. Play will break your heart, play! Don't feel guilty about playing, play when you should learn!

Be careful when you do the problem.

Carelessness will certainly lead to many mistakes. Whether practicing or walking into the examination room, you must do the questions carefully and answer them carefully, and your grades will not be bad!

Meditation review

This is very important. Only when you calm down and review, don't think about messy things, read books and do problems quietly, and your heart is as quiet as water, can you learn knowledge and review efficiently!

The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. I hope everyone will face the difficulties and climb the peak bravely!
