After attending 20 16, I feel that I still have a lot to learn.
Let me briefly talk about the overall impression:
First of all, the difficulty is the doctoral exam, so both sophomores and juniors have to take the exam. In the fourth year, it is still a good opportunity to exercise.
Followed by interviews and so on, that year I became able to use Chinese (I used to emphasize using English as much as possible). It may be because there are fewer lectures in the discussion class, and I will still be nervous during the interview.
Then there is the algebra exam ... it is really a weakness, almost becoming a number theory exam, and the proportion of number theory accounts for the vast majority every year. In the interview, three questions are even more than two number theory questions, which is simply a number theory exam. ...
Finally, I wish you all good grades, but I don't think it matters whether you do well in the exam. It is important to go through different examination methods in this process, find out your own shortcomings, and then try to improve yourself.
