I am a 2 1 candidate, and I successfully landed in the botany major of College of Life Sciences of Zhejiang University with the fourth total score. Recently, I also confirmed my proposed admission on the research recruitment website. As a result, the website automatically confirmed the viewing results, and I didn't enjoy the pleasure of clicking to confirm. Recall your preparation for the postgraduate entrance examination and share it with you.
My undergraduate course is 2 1 1 Agricultural College. In the first three years of college, my academic performance was moderate, and I didn't participate in important competitions, scientific research projects or papers. This situation is definitely impossible, but I prefer agronomy. In the face of many students looking for jobs unrelated to this major, I resolutely chose to continue my studies and improve my academic qualifications. However, after I decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, after analyzing the school, I chose Zhejiang University, because I learned that many colleges of Zhejiang University recruit students in biology. The biology enrollment colleges of Zhejiang University include Agricultural College, Biology College and Medical College. The initial examination of Zhejiang University Medical College accounts for 60%, and the second examination is relatively easy and does not discriminate against institutions. As long as you get a high score in the initial test, the higher the better, your undergraduate college will not have any influence. And fresh graduates get more points. But the enrollment of 202 1 is less than that of 2020. There are only 12 places in the unified examination of biology major in our medical college, and the enrollment of all majors in biology college is also less than in previous years. Many majors have two sets of specialized courses to choose from. My major is 830 Biology and Molecular Biology +727 Cell Biology (20% Genetics). These two specialized courses can correspond to many majors and are relatively safe.
Let's talk about professional courses first:
The professional course reference book I used: Zhu Shenggeng's Biochemistry (Part I and Part II), Fourth Edition.
Zhu Yuxian Modern Molecular Biology
Liu Zudong Genetics
Zhai zhonghe cell biology
Review materials exercise: Zhang Jingbo cell biology review outline and question answer, biochemistry and problem set synchronous counseling.
Biochemistry and molecular biology
My suggestion is to start with this specialized course, especially for cross-candidates who need biochemical knowledge to lay the foundation. Reference books used: Biochemistry by Zhu Shenggeng (first and second editions) and Modern Molecular Biology by Zhu Yuxian.
This course is divided into three parts: static biochemistry, metabolic biochemistry and molecular biology.
The first study is the most difficult. It is normal that progress is slow and easy to forget. I'll be up soon in the back. I integrated all the materials I collected, such as online classroom videos, reference books, senior notes, counseling books, etc., and integrated my notes. The speed is very slow, and you can only learn one or two chapters a day. I got the real questions of Zhejiang University and the information of the previous seniors and sisters, and drew the key points of the book according to their summary and their own understanding. This test-taking skill is really important. Photobiochemical molecules are more than 1500 pages, but it is impossible for a normal person to recite all the lessons. Be sure to recite according to the real questions and the experience of seniors and sisters, which really saves a lot of time.
You must take notes and outline this specialized course. It is very helpful for you to form a knowledge framework and know the scope of this course. Because three books are so thick and heavy, a knowledge point will describe many pages in detail or be scattered in different parts of the book. Moreover, the second volume of modern molecular biology and biochemistry has many overlapping parts. It's hard to recite later if you don't take notes. I have to finish two books.
The knowledge framework will be formed from the second time. It's like remembering a title. You may not remember the details of this stage, but you should know that static biochemistry includes sugar, fat, amino acids, protein and nucleic acids. Glycometabolism includes glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis, glyoxylic acid cycle, gluconeogenesis, glycogen decomposition and synthesis. In addition, the real questions will be analyzed at this stage. Only when you see the real questions will you know what the key points are, which knowledge points to memorize and which chapters are basically not tested. Three books are so thick, we must pay attention to the key points. At this time, I specially asked my senior to draw the key points for me again.
Three times, four times, five times, six times and seven times, there is nothing to say. Recite it. As for the real questions, a careful study shows that Zhejiang University really has rules to follow, and some chapters have hardly been tested, so there is no need to read them, such as the chapter on vitamins. Moreover, every year, Zhejiang University will produce some old questions from previous years, all of which are professional courses. This is a completely free soundtrack. Everyone must do the real questions completely, seriously and meticulously. I was so desperate that I didn't read the questions for two years that I thought it was so simple that I wouldn't take the exam. As a result, he did it. As soon as I got to the examination room, I was confused. I was really scared and in a trance. Fortunately, I finally landed.
727 Cell Biology (including genetics 20%)
Genetics has been added for 20 years, and the reference books have changed from one to two: Genetics by Liu Zudong and Cell Biology by Zhai Zhonghe.
A book of cell biology has more than 300 pages, with concentrated knowledge points, clear chapter framework, color printing and good paper quality. So my suggestion for this course is to draw directly on the book and hold the back of the book. After all, the purpose of taking notes is to make it easy for you to remember. If the book itself is easy to recite, there is no need to waste precious time writing notes.
When reviewing for the first time, you can write the real questions directly in the position corresponding to the knowledge points in the book. When drawing a book, just mark the main points and answer them. You can also look at the online courses supporting cell biology, and there are animations to deepen your understanding.
There are some big chapters, such as chapter 9 and chapter 10, so I suggest that I organize the framework myself. Very easy to remember.
If you don't learn genetics well, you won't be bossing around. So far, there are only two real questions, and the law is not clear. I can only see that there are no calculation problems as always, and try not to overlap with molecular biology.
About English:
English materials: Zhu Wei's Love has 5500 words, and Zhang Jian's English Zhenti Yellow Book.
My English is not very good. I have passed CET-4 and CET-6 twice, and the last time I passed CET-4 and CET-6 was about 456 and CET-6 was 458. So I still put a lot of effort into English,
I mainly made these preparations: from the first day of review for postgraduate entrance examination, the word 100 can't be broken every day. The first time there will be spelling, reading Chinese documents and choosing English forms, and then in the review stage, it will only depend on the definition of words. It is suggested to cut off all the words that are too simple, and don't waste too much time. Besides reading, English reading for postgraduate entrance examination is really skillful. I made four mistakes in reading an article at first, and then I went to Bai Piao to take an online class in Tang Chi, and there was no problem (Uncle Tang! God forever! )。 Personally, the reading method is: pretend to be enthusiastic about the topic without any association. The article says one thing and I don't say two. Even if the options are reasonable, I won't choose something different from the article. It is best to watch the real questions over the years together. If you don't understand any questions, go to the video to explain them. I recommend Tang Chi! ! !
Do a real question four or five times, and each real question option can say the reason for the mistake or the right reason, even if you read it, you will practice. Tip: You can keep the real questions for a year or two and practice your hands one week before the exam. Never mind how to do it, just find the feeling. I'll make it thinner anyway.
In Sanmenli, cloze is purely a question of finding the logic of the article. I made 15 mistakes from the beginning, and they were all right in the end. Actually, I just brushed the real question. Simply put, it is to find the appropriate emotional options according to the unprecedented changes in context. If you don't understand this logic, you can take Song Yixuan's online class in Bai Piao. He will know how to find logic by doing two things. I'm not good at new problems either. I think I made one or two mistakes, so I won't say much.
For translation, you must think more, guess more about the possible meaning, and form sentences in your mind before writing. At that time, I found a research friend, practiced a translation every day and corrected each other. In the end, our scores were not low.
When writing a composition, find some model essays, but don't memorize them all. It is best to sort out some good sentences and form your own template. I have to boast that my template is quite exquisite, and every sentence has its own body double, in case a sentence is inappropriate and I can't write it. It's the same researcher At that time, we wrote a true composition every day, big and small, and corrected each other. Finally, the two of us summed it up together, using almost the same set of templates. Unfortunately, in the end, I wrote like a god in the examination room and got good grades. This review method is really easy to use and strongly Amway!
About politics
Politics: Xiao Xiurong is concise, 1000, telling the truth, Xiao Si Xiao Ba; Leg sister sprint back manual and leg sister four sets of volumes; Xu Tao's eight-volume edition.
Politics should not start too late, or there will be more pressure behind it. I have been listening to Xu Tao's intensive crosstalk class since August, and I can do 1000 questions to deepen my understanding after learning part of politics. After the first pass, you can brush 1000 wrong multiple-choice questions twice, and then you can do the multiple-choice part of the real questions in previous years. There is no need to start reciting big questions at present. 1 1 month Xiao Si Xiao Ba, four sets of legs, four sets of Xu Tao eight sets of volumes are listed, you can buy them and do them.
Don't worry too much about the score, mainly to review the knowledge points you are entangled in in the multiple-choice questions carefully. Later, I bought a sprint recitation manual for my leg sister.
I have watched the last part about four times, and it is very important to deal with the multiple-choice part. I also watched the next part several times. I recited the contents of Xiao Si and Sister Leg in the final big sprint until the night before I went to the examination room, and it was almost time to recite the big questions for the last half month. There is also a little toot: politics is really chicken soup for the soul on the road to postgraduate entrance examination. Many times, I am inspired by the knowledge in this course. Without this course, I might not be able to review it by myself.
Daily schedule: (everyone has different review progress, for reference only)
My arrangement is to study only professional courses in the early stage and lay a good foundation. The average time is divided into three parts: cell, biochemistry, molecule+heredity. In July, I began to join English real questions, and in August, I began to join the political intensive class, 1000 questions. Post an ideal timetable:
After getting up at 7 o'clock: 100 words
Morning:
8:00- 12:00 professional course review
Afternoon:
13:00- 17:00 professional course review
At night:
18:00-2 1:00 a set of English test papers
2 1:00- politics section+problem solving section
I won't spend too much time on English from June. The time spent reciting big political questions has increased.
The most important thing in 65438+February is to keep your mind steady, don't relax, and don't be overly nervous. Adjust your schedule. You win by completing a normal amount of study tasks every day.
Tip: Everyone must practice writing speed and, if possible, good handwriting. Zhejiang University has a large number of specialized courses. At that time, the biochemical cells were not finished, nor were they finished, and the words were not well written. I have always felt that the winter vacation needs to be adjusted, and the school was chosen at that time. Fortunately, I went ashore. So when you practice real questions, you must do it as an exam and give yourself a fixed time.
About mentality: Postgraduate entrance examination is a lonely road. Take me for example, I am not in a particularly good state of study in the early stage of postgraduate review, and I can't calm down at all. I wanted to play the drama of Weibo with my mobile phone. The most important thing is to have a boyfriend who has been talking for 6 years. Here I suggest that if you can not talk about it, don't talk about it, and don't affect your future. If you don't have a partner, don't talk about it. You are a twenty-year-old graduate student. Control your primitive instincts. Many people around me have fallen out of the list because of falling in love. It's a bloody lesson. However, boyfriends are more sensible. He uninstalled my Weibo and locked my mobile phone with tomatoes to control my addiction to mobile phones. Before May, my study time might be only 5 or 6 hours a day, and then it gradually increased to 8 hours. After I arrived at school in August and September, one day 10 hour. 1 1 month sprint stage, one day study12,65438+. I drank coffee when I was sleepy, and coffee accompanied me through the postgraduate entrance examination. Get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, rest for 20-30 minutes at noon, return to the dormitory at about 10 in the evening, lie in bed and play with your mobile phone for a while after washing, and go to bed before 23:30 to end the day's fatigue. Continue to study the next day! At six o'clock, I saw the rising sun in the teaching building, which was full of fighting power.
However, even during the postgraduate entrance examination, I sometimes feel depressed, self-doubt and can't persist. Usually, I will take a walk after dinner in the afternoon, see the scenery outside the teaching building, communicate with friends around me, vent my depression, or take half a day or a day to go shopping and relax. At the same time, you should also believe that no pains, no gains, only efforts can have fruitful results, and all the efforts are worthwhile. Moreover, the Party branch of our college gave us a small gift of encouragement, and the counselor also gave us a gift package for postgraduate entrance examination. Everything is very touching.
Everyone reviews in different ways. I am a down-to-earth and stubborn person. We all need to find our own direction and make our own study plans, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort and be more aggressive. Many people give up on themselves in the process of reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination, especially 1 1 month. In the examination room for postgraduate entrance examination, some people don't come to the exam directly, and some people don't come after the first one or two exams. I think the battle for postgraduate entrance examination should be from the beginning to the end, and I will give myself an explanation. Only after suffering can you be a master. Only when we strive for our future can we better understand the meaning of success. When we get what we want, we know the joy of life.
