Why is being a big dark horse' smart'? It's really hard to explain, but if I make a comparison, I think everyone will have a relatively clear understanding.
Two things that can be compared with each other, one is my life and entertainment during review, and the other is my final grade. During the preparation period, I didn't fall into the sea of questions like some candidates, and even dreaming at night was an exercise. During that time, I went to work normally during the day and got home at 5: 30 in the afternoon. It's basically 6: 30 after dinner. Watch the news at 7 o'clock on time, exercise while watching the news, and basically complete the fitness training at 8 o'clock. I play a game of Warcraft every night, watch 3-4 episodes of Friends, and sometimes read novels or social science books for a while, so generally speaking, I can only study for about 2 hours every night. Besides, I eat and drink with my girlfriend every week and go out to play two nights a week. At the same time, due to the company's social activities and friends' small gatherings, I have little time to review the written test for one and a half months. But in the end, my written test score was the first. The interview review is the same, and the interview result is still the first. Here, I don't mean to brag, but I think I can get good grades in such a leisurely review time. It is many study skills and preparation skills that have helped me. Mastering these skills will be more helpful to us than mastering more exercises! It is worth noting that the skills I want to talk about are in every link of my civil service preparation and examination. Without the success of every detail, it is impossible to achieve my achievements. This is the truth that "details determine success or failure".
Registration: the first experience of goals and self-confidence
The civil service exam is the World Cup. I like the 2006 World Cup very much. It is full of excitement and suspense. In the group stage, the European Latin school in Spain rode the dust, and the flowing style and delicate personal skills made the fans relish. In the first match of the group stage, the matadors were on a roll and easily won Ukraine, the new army of Eastern Europe, 4-0. Many fans think that this Spanish team will achieve good results. Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, among the top eight teams, we saw the Ukrainian team that lost the first show of the World Cup, but we didn't see the radiant Spanish team. Why? In fact, this is a simple question. Ukraine's opponent in the 8 th 1 final was the same unknown Swiss team, while Spain faced the powerful French team. The powerful Spanish team has not gone further than its own defeated team, which should give you some inspiration. Philip kotler told us in his "Marketing Management" that the simplest and most effective way to gain a dominant position in the market competition and gain the initiative in the competition is to avoid competition, segment the market and find a new target market. In fact, entering the civil service examination is the process of finding a new target market. The cruelty of civil service examination competition has become one of the best in the country, and countless talents have sharpened their heads and drilled into it. Compared with these martial arts experts, I naturally have no advantage. So, I'm going to apply for an unpopular unit and try to get some opportunities in the lowest competition.
"The Art of War" tells us that knowing ourselves and knowing ourselves is the only way to win a hundred battles, so I need to have a clear understanding of myself first, and then a relatively clear (note that it is only relative) understanding of the units and opponents who apply for the exam. I looked at myself carefully: poor English level 4, poor academic qualifications. In addition, it is nothing more than a secondary computer and one year's work experience. I really need to plan my own conditions. A few days before the application, I didn't rush to apply, but made a summary of the units I could apply for, and then took a leisurely walk around the registration place and carefully looked at the application situation of these units I chose. Once I find out that there are candidates from my own unit, I will take the initiative to' sit in' and basically understand the needs of applicants and the strengths of candidates. After several days of careful statistics and summary, I found that there is a unit with relatively less competitive pressure. So I aimed at this unit.
Of course, I think many candidates like me will encounter such problems. For example, they are optimistic about a unit, but this unit has raised various problems and won't let you apply. If you give up at this time, there is only one result waiting for you-missing the opportunity. Lao Luo once said: "There is only one way to fail, and that is to give up halfway." Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of vitality and hope, we must work hard in this direction. When I applied for the exam, I also encountered the problem of preventing me from applying for the exam smoothly, so I took out all the capital and materials I could get, including all kinds of certificates, including articles published in newspapers and periodicals, just like looking for a job in the past. In short, your purpose is only to impress her.
This has two main advantages. First, you will get more attention, and the general unit will be more or less tempted to see such things; On the other hand, when you present these things, it will bring you great confidence and make you more confident to do them.
Sadly, when I applied for the exam, I took a breath and took out everything that could prove my ability. They were still not interested, but I didn't give up. I talked with them at my desk all morning until they got a little excited.
Until I went to another unit for consultation, the people in that unit came to me in a hurry and said, "The leader said that you have good conditions and asked you to report. Please report to us. "
I know there is nothing wrong with my insistence.
Review stage of written test: "be flexible and tough" and information warfare
As mentioned above, I have a full schedule in the review stage of the written test, so I only have two hours of review time every night. Judging from the length of time, I'm really nervous. However, everything has two sides. Although I am short of time, this kind of short time forced me to get a high profit from these two hours, which invisibly improved the quality of review. At the same time, the working time of the civil service exam happens to be two hours, so I helped myself to master the rhythm of the work exam imperceptibly, which finally benefited me a lot.
Let's talk about work ability first. Vocational ability is a comprehensive subject. On the surface, review is very difficult, knowledge is complex, and it is difficult to be disciplined. Actually, it is not. As a test paper, it is very limited to examine a person in the question 135- 140, so as long as we grasp the limitations of this test paper and review it in a targeted way, we can develop our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and get rapid improvement. Therefore, the real question is how do we understand this paper.
I only took the civil service exam once, this time. When I first started reviewing, I also asked my experienced classmates and friends for review skills. The answers given by experienced people were unexpectedly consistent: doing real questions.
However, in the process of reviewing, I gradually found that there are still great differences in grades between people, even when doing real questions. Why?
I think the fundamental reason is the different understanding of doing real questions. Generally speaking, people with slow grades focus on the specific understanding of real questions, such as which questions have been asked, how to do more questions, and it is unknown to fall into the sea of questions; People with higher scores focus on the technical composition of real questions. For example, in numerical reasoning, there are several first-order calculations and denominator and numerator comparisons. For example, in logical reasoning, there are several direct deduction problems and several turning reasoning methods. To sum up, people with high scores are not concerned with the expression and specific problems of this problem, but with the fundamental approach and basic thinking of this problem. I remember a famous person once said: the most important thing in life is rhythm. In fact, the most important thing in the exam is the rhythm.
In the process of job review, I adopted such a strategy: I bought a set of questions because I didn't take the civil service exam. The main job is to understand what types of problems there are. There are five types of questions in the civil service examination, but there are many branches under the five categories. Any kind of question type (the question type mentioned here is not our simple classification of paper questions, but your own detailed division of each question type based on problem-solving skills) may appear in the exam, so you should have a clear understanding of them.
The economic base determines the superstructure. The process of understanding these problems is the process of consolidating the knowledge base, so we should not underestimate them. Now, when I check this problem set, I find that I have done every problem here, but more importantly, I have added my own understanding next to each problem. Especially beside the wrong questions, I summed up some lessons and methods for myself: for example, in the reasoning questions, which of the following conditions can best confirm the above inference? I made many mistakes in this kind of problem, so I summed up many methods for myself, such as analyzing the main contradictions in promotion, and then looking for relevant options according to the characteristics of the main contradictions, and so on. For example, there is a crossword puzzle in reading comprehension, and sometimes I can't find it correctly. My approach to this kind of puzzle is to divide the sentence components.
In a word, different people have different methods. We should give full play to our subjective initiative, understand every problem carefully, have a full understanding of every problem, and set up a database in our own mind. I think if you are a fan, you will feel that you are familiar with the stars, such as allen iverson, who is about to move recently. What do you think about him? Height 183. Weighing 83kg, he was the No.1 in the 1996 draft. Mvp once in the regular season, entering the finals, No.3 jersey, dreaming of No.6 captain ... in short, you will think of a lot of information about him. Hehe, you should have the same reaction as Allen when dealing with every type of civil service examination (there are different solutions to the problem, not simple classification). This is a solid foundation.
Let's talk about the specific problem review methods first:
Digital reasoning: I saw a guy on the qzzn forum saying that he made 1000 yuan a day, which was basically enough. I quite agree. But 1000 is a bit too much, and the science of paying attention to distribution is not our Scientific Outlook on Development. My method is to divide numerical reasoning and operation into two parts, and spend four days (two days for each part) doing about 1000 questions to understand the frequent problems. Don't be nervous about what you can't do, just look at the answers and remember the ideas. After 4 days, I have understood all the basic questions, and the work to be done is to consolidate. In the section of our big forum, a good netizen summarizes the math problems put forward by netizens every day and updates them every day. My consolidation method is to follow this update to see these problems and continue to accumulate. Step by step, when the time comes, your numbers will be a big problem. This year's class A math problem in Heilongjiang is very simple. There are about seven answers that I can look at directly. Luck is one thing, and accumulation is more important.
Reading comprehension: I think this is the most important. There are many methods, many of which I have forgotten. Do you remember how to learn CET-4 reading? Review reading comprehension according to the method of English reading review, and you will find many skills. For example, keyword method, keyword method, option exclusion method and so on. In English reading, there is a saying that reading is the best in the world. In fact, the same can be said in the civil service examination. Because reading comprehension usually appears in the position of the first question or the second question, you will be handy and more confident when you start writing the paper, so you should pay attention to this question type and all the questions that may appear in the position of the first question in the test paper. A good beginning is half the battle. )
Common sense: As I mentioned before, I watch the news and read books every day. This is how common sense is accumulated. There is no way to review this part, because it is too wide, and your accumulation is very important. One of the common-sense questions this year is when Zitongzhi Sword will be completed. My friends in the history department even made a mistake, but coincidentally, I read the book on a whim during the review stage, but I noticed the introduction in the preface. During the exam, I seriously recalled that I had seen it in the late Three Kingdoms period. Considering that people in the current dynasty are obviously not suitable for Confucian China people, I chose the late Northern Song Dynasty. I think it is clear whether we can get the right answer or win through the accumulation of knowledge and skills.
Graphic analysis: this kind of questions are well thought out and unhurried, because the calculation of this kind of questions is more complicated, usually the last question, and time is tight. But don't ignore the huge score of this question, which determines your ultimate success or not, so pay special attention. The lesson I learned from reviewing this kind of questions is: don't fall into the trap. Often the figures that can be directly calculated in one step are unreliable, so we should carefully analyze the relationship between the figures. Second, we should combine reality. Watch the news every day and have a relative understanding of the numbers. For example, in 2005, China's gdp was 9.9%. Your calculation is too much or too little, which is obviously incorrect. In addition, there are all kinds of common sense problems that can be fully utilized. Calculate the decimal point to 2 places and compare the answers immediately, saving time. How to keep calm in times of crisis? As I said, I play Warcraft every day. Generally, a person may be attacked twice at the same time. Overcoming the strong with the weak is a direct test of the mind and technology of Warcraft players. I have developed a stable mentality and the ability to respond quickly in the face of sudden crises, find loopholes in front of charts and solve problems. Is there any revelation?
Be reasonable: there is no way to do more about picture types. I met a super pervert. He blocked the left side of the picture with his left hand. You will find that the right side of the picture you can see is the number 1 2 3 4, so you choose it in the same way. Have you talked about this problem before? No, I'm sorry, your quantity is not enough. Hehe, there is an IQ test online, and there are many such questions. Everyone came to take the exam, and I 144 enhanced a lot of confidence.
Other reasoning is still a question of logical thinking. There is an expert lecture on online problem solving, which is in our forum. What kind of online school has benefited a lot. Let's have a look.
Well begun, half done. Understand the types of questions and write down your experience for each type of questions, so that we can have a solid foundation and go to Gai Lou on this basis.
It took me about 10 days to complete this problem set. After I finished it all, I made a systematic summary and got a macro grasp of various problems, so I planned to start a new plan.
I only have two hours to review every night, which happens to be the time for the post exam, so I use these two hours to make a set of papers, one every day. One set a day is quite boring and tiring, but through day-to-day simulation and day-to-day practice, you are already familiar with it, which helps to improve your physical strength. Before doing the paper, I found that many netizens and classmates generally felt that there was not enough time to do it. How can we get rid of the trouble of speed? In fact, there is only one way, and that is to speed up-speed up the practice in peacetime, so that the speed of doing the questions exceeds the time of the exam, so that even if there are objective factors such as psychology and inappropriate venue during the exam, you can take your time. So, I shortened my time to 1.5 hours, stressing that I must complete the whole test within this time. It is worth noting that simply speeding up is obviously unscientific. How can I squeeze out these 30 minutes? My experience is one breakthrough after another-it takes time to start from each large size. For example, the requirement of mathematical reasoning is 15 minutes, 15 questions, so I ask myself to finish it in 10 minutes, and so on, I need to take time out of various questions to make up for 30 minutes. Don't underestimate these 30 minutes. These 30 minutes have played a vital role for me, especially during the exam, so I can have more time to think and use them and deal with various emergencies.
In this way, I kept speeding up, and finally I could finish all the exercises in 1.5 hours. After I finish my exercises every day, I will sum up my gains and losses according to the answers, patiently analyze and find problems, and seriously recall yesterday's mistakes in the next day's exercises. The advantage of this is that when I am faced with uncertain answers, I can think and answer skillfully, and then the speed is much more accurate than Bi Meng's answer.
After 15 sets of papers, I basically stopped doing the questions, but carefully summarized all the successes and failures. What everyone needs to pay attention to here is that you must carefully analyze and remember your own wrong questions. I did a lot of original questions in this Heilongjiang exam, but I usually remember the wrong answer, not the correct answer. This is a big mistake in my review. Another experience is to take a look at our QQ qzzn forum, where there are many' teachers' who ask novel questions, have a large number of questions and have strong problem-solving thinking. Learn more from them and your grades will definitely improve.
Application: thicken your mind and thin your mind.
I found that candidates have only two attitudes towards applying for the exam: 1 is to give up completely, thinking that applying for the exam is the result of long-term accumulation, and short-term study will not improve qualitatively; The other is crazy study, eager to master the most information in the shortest time and improve writing ability as soon as possible. I understand the mentality of both people, but neither is desirable: first, cynicism in learning, and second, utilitarianism in learning.
So how to find your own way in the cracks between the two theories? Actually, it's still skill.
First of all, we still have to understand what the exam is about. "Shen Lun, Shen Lun." This is the opening word of almost every practical exercise book, but it is very difficult to understand in a real sense. During the review, I was once confused and cynical about everything-I didn't want to ask, but I fell into a misunderstanding and formed a vicious circle. After my friends kept telling me not to give up, I decided to choose a good way to overcome it.
Apply. I don't know the word' God', but I know the word' Lun'. Theory is the process of explaining discrimination. Three-dimensional thinking is the process of point-line-surface-point, which is what we usually call argument, the process of expanding argument and returning to argument. Therefore, the ability to control thinking and writing freely has become the focus that I must improve quickly.
As mentioned above, in the process of dealing with the exam, you need to understand what the exam is about. So, I began to make a detailed study on the examination paper of Shen Lun again. To my surprise, the design of the test paper formally conforms to my understanding of the' theory', the summary of the first question, the countermeasures of the second question and the summary of the third question, which is really something to be thankful for.
So, in the shortest time, I found my own learning direction.
I chose the real questions over the years and continued to do basic research, but unlike my work, I chose not to do the questions, but to analyze them. I read the original question once, simply thought about it according to my own ideas, and then began to look through the answers. It is worth noting that I didn't simply look at the answers, but did a very serious study, including the design of every sentence, the application of every word, the search for every problem and the proposal of every countermeasure. I found that, in fact, all of us can analyze materials to some extent, but the main problems focus on two aspects. First, I can't speak Mandarin, and my thoughts and consciousness are correct, but my language is not written and formal. Second, our thinking is relatively narrow, and we often only pay attention to one aspect and are not comprehensive enough. These are the two most important questions.
I once wrote a sentence to myself, called: if there is a problem, solve it. Now that the problem has been found, as long as it is solved, it can be improved.
So, I made a more targeted plan. My suggestion is that everyone find an article to read every day. Some people may say that everyone is using this method, but I want to emphasize that 1 What kind of articles do you choose and what do you think?
The essay examination involves many hot issues: economy, politics, culture, spirit, art and so on, and it should cover a wide range in the selection of essays. Many candidates choose articles to emphasize hot spots blindly, but often ignore the connection between things, which is the reason for the narrow scope of thinking. So find a good article every day, and the content should be timely and representative. Simply put, give yourself a topic every day and accumulate different topics in 45 days. For example, the first day is the problem of farmers losing their land, the second day is the problem of medical reform and the third day is the problem of economic transformation. In short, every day is different, and we should strive to understand 45 different hot information in 45 days of review. The second is how to read. Many candidates reviewed their applications, simply looked at them and said, "Oh, I probably understand this." In fact, does he really understand? Not at all. How to make our memory more profound is to keep repeating and deepening. Choose an article every day, which may come from a real topic in a province, southern weekend or Guantian teahouse. In short, you should choose a representative, comprehensive and informative article. One more question. The basic requirement for our last composition is 1500 words. If you choose 1500-2000 words, it is best. First of all, you can learn about hot spots. Second, you can carefully analyze how to use this word 1500 to illustrate a problem.
When you get an article, you should read it carefully, analyze the composition of every sentence, analyze the composition of every paragraph, and analyze the direction of every point of view. When you analyze an article from the outside to the inside and from the outside to the inside, you will find that you have a certain understanding of this hot issue. At this time, you throw away the article, start repeating the questions, and try to say everything mentioned in the article just now. Remember, this is an explanation. You have to make others understand. In this way, you will soon find that your mind has become thicker, and at this time, you will find that you have a certain understanding of every social problem.
Of course, this is only the most basic work, and it is a work that must be done every day. What is more difficult is the skill training on this basis, which is what we usually call' stretching'. With a deep understanding of hot issues, you will find that you have gradually developed to look at problems from the perspective of mechanism and system, and understand problems from the perspective of people, society and country, with more comprehensive thinking and richer content.
How can you speak more clearly? Let me give you an example.
Why do some people say that our party is an advanced party? Why should we reform the market economy? Why is our party the People's Party?
Seeing these three questions, I'm afraid I have to answer them separately. In fact, they are closely related. Let me put it briefly:
We human beings live in society, what constrains our behavior? The answer is law. So, what is above the law, or what binds the government and political parties? The answer is law. The laws of nature. Such as the natural law of "survival of the fittest". Under the influence of natural laws, the government and the ruling party also have legitimacy and illegality. For example, under the management of the reactionary Kuomintang government, the people suffered great oppression. Because people's life rights and interests are threatened and natural law declares it illegal, people will overthrow it. Therefore, when our party is in power, we should fully consider the legitimacy of the ruling party, which is the fundamental reason for us to seek benefits for the people. In the era of planned economy, our market is closed and there is no external support. Three years of natural disasters starved us to death. Without the injection of external market factors, the number of hungry people will increase obviously, and death has violated the basic interests of our people's lives, which may lead us to face the problem of illegality of the ruling party. Therefore, for the benefit of the people and for us to continue to govern the country according to law, we gradually choose to implement the market economy. After the operation of the market economy, it is found that the cost of maintaining the original planned economy is higher than that of using the market economy, so we should vigorously promote the reform of the market economy. Considering the ruling from the perspective of operating cost and taking the happiness index of people's life as the legitimacy of ruling, is such a party an advanced party and a scientific party?
The above problems involve many aspects such as law, politics, economy, history and party building. So what I want to emphasize is that we should have this kind of thinking, this kind of logically related thinking.
When this knowledge has accumulated to a certain extent and you can explain it with relevant thinking, your application will be basically finalized. The next work is to practice some questions in a targeted way, and make a detailed analysis of the composition and answering skills of the answers. There are many writing skills on the Internet, which I find very helpful. Let me briefly summarize:
1 When analyzing materials, you must summarize the general idea of each paragraph. This is the same as the general paragraph of our primary school study.
2 When analyzing the materials, summarize all kinds of problems in the materials and think about countermeasures one by one.
Summarize the general idea of the same type of paragraph. For example, the first three paragraphs all talk about three aspects of the harm of something, so we can sum it up as-this thing is seriously harmful. In short, it is to be concise and comprehensive, but it does not need to be specific.
Before you write, you must write on grass paper and revise it repeatedly.
5 enter the role. Everyone has played rpg games, such as our 10 years ago. The point of this game is that you become a person in the game world and enter the world of that character. The last article of the application should be written in the same way. When writing an article, you must get into the role. For example, if you work as an office clerk to write notices or speeches, everything will be much easier when you enter the role ~
Another skill is accumulated in daily life. For example, the second topic of Heilongjiang Province's application this year, The Tragedy of the Commons, is very novel. I think my answer is very good, because I analyzed the problem from the perspective of property rights and raised the line of sight of property rights to the "property rights" given to civil servants by the people. I discussed this question with many friends after the exam, but few people answered it like me. I think this has something to do with my favorite reading of Zhang Wuchang and Zhou Qiren. In addition, for example, the third question, the notice of saving, I changed what notice I posted on the wall of a unit and posted it on paper. Therefore, accumulation is extracted from every detail of daily life, and you may collect useful information anywhere. I don't believe you read the notice at the door of the dormitory, the wall of the visiting unit, and even the newspaper you picked up when you went to the bathroom. In short, you should accumulate information consciously, which is far more beneficial than concentrating on reading for three hours every day. My eight honors and eight disgraces study time is on the Harbin No.8 bus.
