The initial examination and the second examination occupy the same important position in the final score of the postgraduate entrance examination, but the review time of the second examination is less than one-third of that of the initial examination, and for the students who devote themselves to the postgraduate entrance examination, the professional courses in the next semester of junior year and the last semester of senior year simply have no energy to study in depth. So how to maximize the review effect in a limited time? Let's talk about those things in detail!

Focus on key points

The second interview consists of two parts: written examination and interview, with a ratio of about 50-50. The written test is divided into specialized courses and specialized English, and the interview is divided into self-introduction, question-and-answer and examiner's questions. The purpose of the second interview is to examine students' professional foundation, comprehensive quality and on-the-spot reaction ability. Generally, there are 3 ~ 7 interviewers, of whom 1 is responsible for oral English, 1 is responsible for taking notes (not necessarily), and the rest are responsible for asking questions.

0 1 written "professional course"

The investigation of specialized courses is the most important part of the second interview. Reference books can be found in official website, the college you apply for. Generally, there are several books, which means you should read every book and know a little about each book. Moreover, he only told you what the reference book was, but didn't say what the key point was, which added great difficulty to the review.

After the initial test, give yourself a week to adjust your state, and then, no matter how you do in the test and how confident you are, you should prepare for the second test immediately according to the mentality that you have passed the initial test. Read the reference book from beginning to end first. The purpose of doing this is to give you an overall impression of the professional knowledge you have learned, so that you don't know what to ask during the second interview. The following two things are the key to determine your written test scores in specialized courses:

1, search online or contact the seniors of graduate students to help recall the questions of the previous re-examination. If the examination subjects have not changed, the types of questions generally have not changed much, and the same types of questions are repeated;

2. Try your best to find the college you applied for. Many of the professional course papers in their final exams in the last three years are of the same type, even the original questions.

The answer questions and final exam papers mentioned above can be purchased at the printing shop near the school where you apply. They are generally sold, but the price is slightly more expensive. As long as the above two points are done well, the written test scores of professional courses will not be bad!

Written Test of Professional English in 2002

There are still great differences in the survey methods of professional English in different schools. Some schools and professional re-examinations do not directly have a written test of professional English. I want to ask the seniors who are studying. Here I mainly introduce the review methods of written English for professional purposes. There is no doubt that you need to read a large number of papers and works related to your major after graduate school, but in all fairness, the quality of foreign literature is generally higher than that of domestic literature, so the written English test for re-examination is affected by this. The types of questions are mainly professional nouns, terms and literature translation.

1. Translation of professional terms and terms (Chinese-English/English translation): The review focuses on common professional terms and terms, and the difficulty should not be too high. You can look up English words commonly used in this major directly on the Internet.

2, document translation: 100 ~ 200 words short text translation, most of the time is to directly choose an English periodical paper of this major, this has no special answering skills, and the paper generally does not have very complicated clauses. It is mainly a question of professional vocabulary, so it is good to read more foreign documents at ordinary times.

It is suggested that the written test of professional English should not spend too much energy, which is not the focus of the second interview!

"self-introduction" in interview

I won't introduce what I should say about my self-introduction. It has been said in detail on the internet, so I only mention a few points that need attention here! Because English is a foreign language after all, many people have developed a habit for many years: whether writing a composition or preparing oral English, they should think of Chinese sentences first and then translate them into English. Therefore, when speaking spoken English, once the back is unskilled or interrupted, it is easy to get stuck. This is because Chinese sentences first appear in your subconscious mind, and it is too late to improvise and let you translate, which is easy to panic.

Therefore, you must be fluent in self-introduction. No matter whether your English is good or bad, fluency comes first when you need to speak. Grammar is not that important, so in order to achieve this effect, try to use short sentences in self-introduction, do more simulation training in private, and be sure not to be nervous during the interview.

In addition, I would like to make a little suggestion about interview dress, just be neat and generous, and don't have to wear formal clothes. You are still students, and youthful vitality is synonymous with you!

Interview "Q&A"

This is the most important link in the interview, and it is also the decisive reference factor for the interview score. The most taboo word in the interview is "editing". Most interviewers are doctoral supervisors and masters in all aspects of their major. Your professional knowledge is nothing to them. Don't make things up and brag about things you haven't done. If you ask, you will find out the truth.

Generally, everyone will have three questions in this link, and the number of questions will be selected to ensure fairness and justice. If the number of people entering the second interview is small, the questions will not be repeated, and you don't have to spend too much time asking the people in front what questions you have drawn.

If, unfortunately, you can't get your professional direction, don't be nervous. Don't keep your mouth shut You can say something about it, and then explain that your review is not sufficient. Ask the teacher to give you some hints. If it really doesn't work, then I have no impression at all! Moreover, this is the case in two of the three questions. The final solution is to suggest changing the topic, but this opportunity is only once, so you must consider it clearly! Moreover, the revised questions are not drawn by themselves, but directly asked by the examiner, so this method must be used with caution in the end.

Questions and answers in the interview session are ok, so extensive professional knowledge is needed. At least know something, let the interviewer know that you have done your job, but you just happened to ask about the direction you are not good at. The review method is also based on the re-examination questions shared by seniors and sisters in recent years, supplemented by professional reference books, and the time must be more than a few times.

05 Interview "Examiner's Questions"

The examiner's question is the last link in the interview. At this point in the interview, no more professional questions will be asked. Unless you are excellent, someone in the interviewer is directly interested in you. If you want to know you better, you will ask more professional questions.

The most frequently asked questions in the questioning session are undoubtedly which competitions or important activities you have participated in. What part of the work is mainly responsible for? Hobbies, what do you like at ordinary times? Then there are some questions about Bi? The most important thing is to seek truth from facts and say it in a humorous and confident tone.

This link is often the least valued, but it is actually the last chance to improve the interviewer's impression score! Everyone has something good at, whether it's good study or good hands and feet, these are your bright spots. Military strategists have a saying that "attack the army" and "attack is the best". You can't control the first question the interviewer asks, but you can guide them in the direction of the question after answering it. For example, add: "In fact, I have a deep understanding of what you said when I was doing XXX" and lead the next question to what I am good at. As long as an interviewer is interested in your topic, you will succeed, thus turning passivity into initiative!

Experience sharing

Some people will wonder, my initial test results are at the bottom of the retest list, and my ranking has exceeded the admission quota. Should I give up the second interview and directly consider the adjustment?

The answer is: no! As long as you pass the score line, you must go for a second interview, no matter how much. Tell me about my own personal experience. In the year of my second interview, the major I applied for entered the second interview according to the enrollment ratio of 1: 1.2. At that time, it was planned to recruit 25 people and 30 people entered the second interview. During the second interview, the last one didn't come directly because he thought he was going to learn from the prince. At that time, the written test and interview were divided into two days. On the first afternoon, there are specialized English and specialized classes. After the exam, my eldest brother, who ranked 27 in the initial exam, collapsed directly. Because he didn't get a good answer in the written exam, he didn't go to the interview the next day. Later, we learned why some students in the college gave up because of the enrollment expansion in that year (this may happen every year). In the end, there are 30 candidates for unified recruitment, which means that as long as these two people take part in the second interview and stick to the end, they will be admitted.

I believe that there must be a lot of people who are struggling to choose whether to adjust directly! In fact, even if you go for an interview and don't get accepted in the end, it's too late to turn around and adjust. Because the institutions that agree to accept the transfer, the second interview is just a formality, and it won't take you too much energy to prepare. Regarding how to choose a transfer school, you can look at Daniel's last article, "What should I do after the results of the preliminary examination of postgraduate entrance examination are announced?" .

Farewell message

Grasp the possibility of soaring, but before that, you need to keep accumulating energy, keep a positive attitude, make preparations in advance and seize the opportunity that belongs to you!
