1, admissions brochure.
Generally in early July-August, it is announced by the graduate admissions departments (graduate schools and graduate offices) of each school. It will list: the name, code, mailing address, postal code and contact number of the enrollment unit; Number of enrollment majors (some are based on departments, institutes, hospitals, centers and other specific enrollment units, and some are specific to each major); Tutors (some are not published, most of them belong to training);
Some will also list the number of entrusted training, at their own expense, etc. , but the number of places to walk and the retention of school status are generally not listed (but this is really important information for candidates); Examination subjects; Reference books used (many schools do not list them, and even if they do, they often list too many or too few books).
Therefore, it can be seen that the information in the enrollment brochures of most enrollment units is far from enough for candidates. These are the most basic information, and the key information is not listed.
2. Instructions issued by the department office and a set of professional course questions.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of the enrollment brochure, candidates should keep calling to ask for some relevant information, and some enrollment units (usually departments, colleges, institutes, centers and other specific enrollment units) specially publish some instructions;
For example, the number of applicants, the number of admissions, the admission ratio, the admission score line, the bibliography and so on. Over the years, however, the number of students who have walked and the number of students who have retained their school status still cannot be announced, because it will not be determined until June when graduate students register for 5438+065438+ 10.
If the department can publish the examination papers of professional courses in recent years, it will be a great boon for candidates. If you don't see the previous test paper, reviewing for the exam is tantamount to a blind man touching an elephant. But unfortunately, there are still few units that publish test questions. How to find professional test questions depends on personal ability. However, some postgraduate websites have collected many professional topics, which provides great convenience for candidates.
3. Mentor.
Being able to get in touch with a mentor and get one or two pointers from him will undoubtedly be even more powerful. But this is not easy, because tutors are usually very busy, even if they are in contact, they should pay attention to each other's communication methods. It is also interesting that many graduate students report that the better the school, the less necessary it is to contact a tutor. Good schools generally have more transparent information, less black-box operations, more standardized questions, and few digressions and strange questions.
I am a graduate student.
Why not find some graduate students and provide more information than tutors? Practical? What you said is more practical. Therefore, I suggest that if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, try to find a postgraduate consultation, and you will never regret it.
