On the other hand, if you collect information every time, it will take a lot of time, which will inevitably affect the completion of the learning task. If the information you collect is outdated or wrong, it may lead to reading the wrong book, using the wrong information, or even failing the exam.
New Oriental Online National Postgraduate Entrance Examination Research Center shares some stories with you. I hope you can pay attention to information collection during the postgraduate entrance examination. At the end of the article, the teacher teaches you several methods to help you find the information you need for the postgraduate entrance examination quickly and accurately.
It's not that she didn't work hard enough, but she got the wrong information.
When the teacher took the postgraduate entrance examination, there was a female classmate in the class, who began to review in March and prepared to take a master's degree in a 985 prestigious school. She gets up the earliest and comes back the latest almost every day. At one time, several of our classmates who studied for the exam together took a seat in the study room with her help.
I clearly remember that one day, she was holding a mobile phone in the study room and suddenly burst into tears. When we saw it, we all asked about it. She told us that she was admitted to the same school as her fellow students with different majors, but only sent her a message: that school only recruited experts, not students.
While comforting her, we also quickly helped her check the information. We saw in official website that the school admissions office is indeed like this. However, looking back, we found that this point was clearly written in the enrollment brochure and enrollment plan of the previous year!
We didn't expect her to make such a mistake. However, the situation at that time was irreversible, and it was an established fact that she could not apply for a master's degree in that school. Because she wants to be a university teacher in the future, it is impossible for her to change her master's degree.
We can only appease her emotions while helping her check the information of other schools online, and finally locked in another famous school. However, because the reference books of the two schools are different, the time is short, and her review status in the later period is not good. That year, she failed the list, got high marks in politics and English, and failed a professional course.
Fortunately, the next year, she took the exam again and was admitted with the first place in the initial test and the first place in the second test. Although it was a happy ending, I believe she could have won the first world war if she had no problem "looking for information" at that time.
Find the right information, and the postgraduate entrance examination is more powerful.
In sharp contrast, it is another girl. It was not until May that she finally decided to apply for colleges and majors. After that, she found a foreign senior who was admitted the year before last.
The senior's school is far from our school, only the bus can reach it, but there is no subway. After she made an appointment with her senior, she took a bus to school for three hours. After chatting with her all afternoon, I came back by car. After she came back, she went directly to the school hospital to hang water.
The trip brought her valuable information. In addition to textbooks and notes, the senior told her that she had the latest reference books. She took some exams the year before last, and the proportion is likely to increase this year. Finally, I was told by my senior sister that half of the questions in that professional course came from this book. My classmate won the first place in this scientific research and the total score was not bad. Finally accepted.
Although the endings of these two stories are caused by many factors, it is undeniable that "postgraduate entrance examination information" has played a vital role in them.
Below, the teacher will share with you several ways to collect information.
I. Official channels
Mainly official website, the department of the target university, official website. The enrollment brochures and enrollment plans in recent years must be read, and the brochures and plans for the new year should also be checked as soon as they come out to confirm that they can apply for the exam. The qualification requirements for candidates are listed in the admissions brochure. The enrollment plan may change every year, so students who take the postgraduate entrance examination must pay attention to it and be aware of it. If you are in doubt or uncertain, you can call the Admissions Office for detailed consultation and confirmation.
Two. Forum and WeChat official account
You can pay attention to the target colleges and professional forums, where many seniors and sisters will share their experiences. Through these forums, you can learn about the postgraduate entrance examination policy, bibliography, review points, test questions and other information. In addition, New Oriental Online National Postgraduate Research Center will collect and sort out information for you in time, answer questions and let you know the latest postgraduate policies and all kinds of information for the first time.
Third, the senior schoolmate teacher.
If you can find seniors who have been admitted over the years, it is also good to ask them directly. However, people who take the postgraduate entrance examination should pay attention to one thing. When consulting seniors, you must be polite and make your questions clear. In this way, seniors will be more likely to answer your questions. Besides seniors, you can also ask experienced teachers for advice. The teachers in our school may also provide you with a lot of useful information.
In short, the postgraduate entrance examination is not only a protracted war to test endurance, physical strength and hard work, but also an information war.
