Liu Xiaotong recently received many phone calls from his younger brothers and sisters asking about the methods and skills of studying and reviewing exams. Why do so many candidates ask her for advice?
In the just-concluded first mock trial Competition of China University of Political Science and Law, Liu Xiaotong, a graduate student majoring in criminal procedure law, won the performance award. She said, "I am not a stupid bird, but I am willing to fly first!" " A year ago, Liu Xiaotong was admitted to China University of Political Science and Law (Weibo) with the highest total score in his major by means of "double major" in judicial and postgraduate examinations.
The ideal university failed to enter the double cultivation of judicial research and examination
Liu Xiaotong was born in Weifang, Shandong Province, and studied in the Olympic class of Weifang No.4 Middle School in high school with excellent results. Supposedly, she should be admitted to the first-class universities in China, but because she didn't do well in the college entrance examination (Weibo), she had to study law in Shandong University of Economics for four years. In her own words, this is "studying a major that she likes but the school has no advantage". It is precisely because of this that she hopes to change the status quo through research and examination and realize her dream of continuing to study law in domestic law schools.
supported by this ideal, Liu Xiaotong never dared to slack off after four years of college. She attends classes carefully, studies hard and exercises herself as much as possible. Because the college entrance examination was not ideal, Liu Xiaotong was hesitant to choose a school and major for the postgraduate entrance examination. On second thought, she applied for the major of criminal procedure law in China University of Political Science and Law. "I am glad that I made up my mind after comprehensive measurement." She said.
In addition to preparing for the postgraduate examination, Liu Xiaotong also signed up for the judicial examination in 2119 that year. Knowing that the major courses of Law University are both objective and subjective, and the topics are somewhat similar to the judicial examination, Liu Xiaotong conducted a review of the postgraduate examination in combination with the review materials of the judicial examination. Later, it was proved that in just three months, this "double major" review method played a key role.
Dai Yue is busy preparing for the exam, and he is an "ascetic monk"
In October of that year, Liu Xiaotong began to review the postgraduate entrance examination in an all-round way. At that time, many postgraduate candidates who did not take the judicial examination were already in full swing. Liu Xiaotong see in the eye, anxious in the heart. Fortunately, she has been memorizing English words since the next semester of her junior year, and she finished eating the thickest professional book before she started reviewing for the judicial examination in June. Although the pressure is relatively high, Liu Xiaotong soon entered the state.
Due to the limited classroom resources, Liu Xiaotong has to get up early every day to occupy a seat in the study room. At that time, many candidates formed groups, usually 4 to 5 people, and each person took turns to occupy a seat every day, so that others didn't have to get up early every day. Liu Xiaotong didn't join any group. In this way, she forced herself to get up early every day, form good habits, and didn't give herself any excuses and opportunities for laziness. After three months in Dai Yue, Liu Xiaotong got up at 6 o'clock almost every day, went to the study room in less than half an hour, and went back to rest at 11 o'clock in the evening. She clearly remembers that at the beginning, "I struggled out of bed almost every day. After the alarm rang, I didn't dare to hesitate. Because I know that once I hesitate, I will sleep immediately. " Of course, in the first few days, she would doze off in the morning. But after getting used to this tense rhythm, this situation never happened again, and the efficiency is still very high. Since then, Liu Xiaotong has deeply understood a sentence: "People have no pains that they can't eat, only blessings that they can't enjoy."
Liu Xiaotong said: "In those months, on the way to the study room, looking at the stars all over the sky, I felt bitter in my heart, and sometimes I even asked myself if it was worth the hard work, but more often, I was still in a hazy state of just waking up and didn't think too much." At that time, she no longer paid attention to what brand of skin care products she put on, whether her hair should be coiled up or tied up, and how cold the water was in winter. At that time, she wore a ponytail and washed her face with cold water every day. In order to exercise, she insisted on climbing to the floor of the study room every day.
She will call her parents when she is stressed. She never complained to her parents on the phone about how hard she was studying, nor did she complain, but after hanging up the phone, she would hide in the corridor and secretly cry.
Combining work with rest, insisting on diligence will eventually lead to a dream come true
No matter how tight the time is, Liu Xiaotong always insists on taking a nap during the review for the postgraduate entrance examination (Weibo). After all, only by having a good rest can we have more energy to study. Although in the last two months, Liu Xiaotong rarely fell asleep at noon, she still lay in bed and let her brain rest for a while. She said: "lunch break makes me seldom feel sleepy in the study room, and I can keep a good study state all day." Later, many students who took the postgraduate entrance examination took the initiative to sit in the same study room with her. They said to Liu Xiaotong, "Whenever I feel distracted or want to go out for a walk, I will look at you. As soon as I see your sitting back, I will continue to stick to it. You are the benchmark for our study! "
The two days of the exam were particularly cold. Liu Xiaotong said, "My hands and feet are frozen, and my brain is not very clear, so I didn't play very well, especially in English, and I felt very dissatisfied." After the English exam, she quickly adjusted her mental state to meet the professional course exam.
In the end, Liu Xiaotong not only got the first place in this major, but also got the legal professional qualification certificate that passed the judicial examination. She could hardly believe her eyes on the day of the achievement. At that moment, "I feel that all the efforts are worthwhile, and I feel that I am the happiest person in the world. Thanks for that time, it was my lifetime wealth. It has made me grow up, not only in knowledge, but also in mental maturity and personality improvement. "
With the correct decision and method, continuous diligence and hard work, Liu Xiaotong realized the transformation of his life and completed the turning point of his life in the process of taking the postgraduate entrance examination. If you dream, you will have strength, and if you work hard, you will achieve positive results. Liu Xiaotong "refined" a master of law student with his persistence and hard work.
