Difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination in applied psychology

March 30th, 20 16 is my birthday, and it is the day to announce the admission list for the postgraduate entrance examination. I have been waiting nervously in front of the computer since that day. Although I received an internal message from my senior sister who was diligent in counseling me the night before that I should be admitted, I was still very nervous because I was curious about how much I had. After all, I was the last one to enter the second interview. About three o'clock, I found the admission list and ranked 30, and then I was relieved.

I really don't like the feeling of nervousness. What I have experienced most this year is the feeling of tension. I have been nervous and anxious since last March. Then two days before the exam, I sleep at two o'clock on the first day, and sleep at one o'clock the day before the initial test results and the day before the second test. I treated it wholeheartedly this year. Because I didn't pass the college entrance examination twice, and then I passed it. At that time, when preparing for the college entrance examination, I decided that if I was admitted to the undergraduate course, I would take the postgraduate entrance examination. Because my major is psychological counseling, I have to study psychology.

What do you think of this painting?

From June 5438 to 10, I began to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. At that time, I saw through Weibo that there was a diligent remedial class, which was specially designed to help babies majoring in psychology take the postgraduate entrance examination. The organization is very good, saying that students who want to take the prestigious school are worth enrolling. So I also consulted in June 1 1, but I didn't want to ask my parents for help directly at that time, so I wanted to teach myself first. At first, I couldn't tell the difference between a master's degree and a master's degree. Later, I collected information and asked my classmates who had been admitted to graduate school before to prepare slowly. Later, I decided to enter China Normal University, so I studied at home during the winter vacation, but the effect was not very good. At home, I only watched general education and developed education (later, my diligent teacher told me that I would not take the exam for my education, which really made me cry! )。 Then I went to school in March, and the effect was not good. Although I read books every day, I can't remember them at all. So in March, I was particularly anxious and had intermittent insomnia. I fell asleep after three o'clock in the evening for half a month. In April, I finally got fed up and decided to sign up for class. I consulted a diligent teacher, who gave me a detailed analysis according to my situation. I made up my mind to be admitted, so I reported to the whole class for the first and second exams. Because of the preferential treatment, I also signed up for politics and English. At that time, I thought, if you want to be admitted, you must pay the price. I was so anxious in March, and I will definitely be anxious in the future. Therefore, if you miss your efforts, you will definitely regret it in the future. I have to apply for classes sooner or later, and I regret that I didn't choose June 165438+ 10 in time, otherwise I wouldn't have done nothing in the winter vacation.

Therefore, my real postgraduate entrance examination began in April. I didn't know until I signed up for class that all the masters of China Normal University had their own designated review bibliography, and all the books I read at home during the winter vacation were master's bibliographies. I am glad that I signed up for class in time. Three days later, I received a box of books and materials from Qin Si, and Qin Si also gave me online courses. From the basic class to the intensive class, to the final punching class, it is full-time counseling. The teachers inside are all well-known professors of Beijing Normal University, and the quality of classes is beyond doubt. Start with the basic course, watch a chapter of video, then read a book, understand it first, and then digest it slowly. I think it is best to give us a full-time tutor. She was a senior admitted last year. According to her own experience, she has been tutoring us, supervising us to recite later, being our psychological teacher and relieving our psychological pressure. Therefore, after April, I have never been as anxious as I was in March. When I played 65438+ February, I also studied as usual, without excessive anxiety.

From the moment I decided to take the exam, I took it seriously and felt guilty for not reading a book for a day. I got up at home at 5 o'clock in the winter vacation to recite words, and I recited the English little red book word book five times, because I understand that the average English score of students admitted to China Normal University is about 75, and there is no hope if they don't take the test of 70. Remember words every day, spend an hour reciting them in the morning and review them for half an hour at noon and evening. I have to learn long and difficult sentences every day. I especially like the video of long and difficult sentences taught by teacher Zhao Min, which is very good. It was through Miss Zhao's video that I slowly improved my English. In the end, I didn't live up to my hopes, but I got 70 points in the exam. Although it's not very high, I'm already satisfied. During the summer vacation, I began to study reading real questions. I only study real questions in English reading, and I bought 100 for the postgraduate entrance examination. Before the summer vacation, I just read books and didn't do problems. I translate an article every two days, sentence by sentence, remember unknown words the next day, and correct my translation errors through comparative analysis. Start doing the questions in the summer vacation and write them in the blank with a pencil, so that you can repeat the questions. I spent the whole summer studying Mr. Xue's real questions. According to the real questions explained by Mr. Zhao Min, I learned a lot of problem-solving skills. Because there are not many real questions, I started to do them in September. After the previous foundation, facing the questions of professional English, I feel that the questions are very simple. The first time I saw the real question of 20 10, I made only two mistakes, and my confidence was gained at once. So as long as you lay a good foundation, 70 points in English is also very easy.

Then there are professional courses. I didn't know that China Normal University had a special bibliography until I signed up for the diligent class. It was also through my senior's postgraduate entrance examination experience that I learned that Mr. Liang Ningjian had a supporting workbook for the introduction of psychology, called Introduction to Psychology Learning and Examination Guidance. This book is a treasure, and you should read the individual choices and short answers thoroughly. The single choice in it has been mentioned in the previous real question, and the short answer and discussion also have its content, which should be understood thoroughly. Social psychology is mainly to understand the principle and learn to explain the phenomena in life with theory. I study social psychology mainly by reciting diligent lectures, and then understanding and memorizing according to the examples in the book. Teacher Liu's "Management Psychology" contains a lot of content, but there are at most two big questions in the exam, so sometimes I guess. Not reviewing all the books led to a question in the exam. Let's talk about the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. At that time, I was very confused, and then I comforted myself that I wouldn't know others and I wouldn't, which had a little effect on relieving psychological tension. So you should read the book carefully, especially if there are questions in each chapter. You must read it and answer it, because the answers are all in the chapters and it is easy to sum up. In addition, I would like to sum up that the management psychology part of China Normal University likes to test some topics such as methods, strategies, types and principles. Moreover, the preliminary examination will take the written examination questions of the previous year's re-examination, so we should also understand the written examination questions of the previous year's re-examination. In particular, we must look at the book "Industrial and Organizational Psychology" written by Meng Hui. The content of this book has been tested in previous years. Most of the topics in the direction of applied ability management in this year's re-examination come from Meng Hui's book, asking us what is LMX theory and what is counter-productive behavior. The research contents of industrial and organizational psychology are all in that book, so we still have to read that book. Maybe we will get the content of that book in the first test this year.

We should also attach importance to statistics. I feel that the proportion of statistics in China Normal University is increasing gradually every year, but the problem is not difficult. For example, the product moment correlation was tested again this year, and the fitting degree of regression model was also tested, but I didn't answer because I couldn't, which led to a direct loss of 20 points. But I still think like that during the exam. I won't. No one will. It's okay to lose points. However, the statistics course in the diligent video is very detailed, and you can learn it well as long as you study hard, but I don't think China Normal University will test difficult questions, so I didn't study hard.

Since the postgraduate entrance examination, my sleep time has never exceeded 6 hours, and it has shrunk to 5.5 hours since September. But psychologically speaking, normal sleep is more than 5 hours, so I don't feel less sleep, just used to it. I get up at five o'clock in winter vacation and recite words at home. When I got to school, I got up at half past six for fear of disturbing my roommate's rest. Stay in the library when there is no class during the day, and go back to the dormitory when the library closes at night. Staying at school and not going home during the summer vacation is also the most efficient two months. It was not until August that I finished a comprehensive round of review. Although I read the introduction three times, I only read Management, Society, Metamorphosis and Development once. In September, seniors began to supervise me to recite. It's a little early, but I keep repeating it. According to the rule of memory, recite in the morning and write at night. During the summer vacation, because my roommate was away and it was early in the morning, I began to recite on the balcony at five o'clock. When my roommate came in September, I recited it in the corridor for an hour and a half. Because some theories are particularly long, you can only recite three theories at most. Go back to the dormitory to wash at 6: 30, go to the library to find a corridor at 7: 00 to continue reciting, and then come back and write it down.

Starting from September, I choose to watch professional classes in the morning, learn English from 2 pm to 5 pm, watch politics from 6 pm to 8 pm, and write the theory recited this morning after 8 pm. 10, watch politics from 8 am to 10, watch English from 2 pm to 5 pm, and the rest are professional courses. So I skipped classes crazily after September. I only went to some classes three times a semester and read my own books in the classroom. But the school is still great. We will finish the exam in June 165438+ 10, and the school requires us to practice early, so I have time to enter my sprint stage.

I didn't feel nervous before the exam. I study at the usual speed. Listening to the counselor's senior sister, some students are very anxious, some don't want to take the exam, and some students really give up. But my senior encouraged me, saying that I had learned very well and would definitely be admitted. With her encouragement, my mind relaxed. In the past few weeks, I have been fascinated by politics. Hachi recited it three times, without dictation. Xiao Si recited it four times and wrote it four times from memory.

Two weeks before the exam, the specialized courses simulated the real questions of 15 and 14. I used time to simulate it from beginning to end. Usually I know the knowledge points, but the time spent on the short answer questions is too short, so 15 didn't finish the real questions, nor did it directly do two essay questions. The second simulation of 14 is much better, and the time is under control, so in the examination room, the time allocation is reasonable.

Because I signed up for the whole class, I thought hard and asked me to participate in the mock re-examination before and after the year. I was worried that I couldn't buy a train ticket to Beijing after the year, so I chose to go to Beijing before the year. My choice is correct, because if I wait for the results of the preliminary test before considering whether to go to Beijing, I may not participate in the simulation because my score is not so ideal. In addition, there were not many students who participated in the mock re-examination years ago, so the teacher gave us a longer interview time and gave us more suggestions. At that time, I thought I was proficient in preparing English self-introduction at home, but it was not so smooth in front of the teacher. Teachers also put forward many suggestions according to my situation, which I think are very effective. The next day, during the mock interview, two teachers specially explained the problems that need attention to each school, and really learned a lot. I am especially grateful for diligence, and I also thank myself for choosing diligence.

I feel like a lucky angel's child. The initial test results ranked 64th. There were 595 applicants in China Normal University, but only 70 students were admitted and 27 students were exempted, so only 43 students were admitted. In previous years, the retest ratio was 1.2, so if this year's retest ratio is still 1.2, then only 5 1 person is allowed to retest. But I just don't give up when I see the result. The classmate who was admitted to China Normal University with me, she was 5 points higher than me, and there were 9 people with her, but she dumped me for 20 places. This year, the teachers of China Normal University are really cruel, and their scores are so low. But I just don't give up. I console myself that this year, everyone in China Normal University scored almost the same, and this year, politics and English were missed, so the proportion of re-examination in China Normal University will definitely rise this year, definitely 1.5. If it is 1.5, I will be the last one to enter the second interview. As long as I get in, there is hope, so I have to prepare well. Maybe I'll fight back. Send the results to the teachers and seniors in the remedial class. They all suggested that I prepare for the second interview, adjust it, and encourage me to hope that there is still some.

Postgraduate entrance examination is only for China Normal University, not for adjustment. Because transfer means going to other cities, other schools in Shanghai never lack candidates, so there is no transfer quota, so don't even think about it. My classmates asked me why I had to stay in Shanghai because I like it. Five years later, there are many opportunities to like it here, which is fair. Ability means opportunity. And my boyfriend works here, so I plan to work hard in this city.

From the announcement of the preliminary test results to the announcement of the national line, there is a month, that is, four weeks. Two weeks ago, I still refused to give up, refused to give up. I believe that the retest ratio of China Normal University this year is 1.5, so there is still hope. I still insist on reading every day, get up at six in the morning, read books in the morning and evening, prepare possible questions from the teacher, and go to the driving school to practice driving in the afternoon. However, in the last two weeks, I was scolded by my teacher every day for practicing driving, and my parents comforted me that I didn't pass the exam, and my work was the same. I had to be prepared for work, so the materials gradually dried up, so I gave up reading. On March 15, the national line came out, and the national line in the application mind was 320. Although it crossed the line, it gave up completely without considering the adjustment. I prepare my resume and look for a job. I finished my driver's license on 16 and came to Shanghai on the same day.

Because the day before I came to Shanghai, I submitted my resume online, and I voted seven times. Three companies asked me for an interview, and time was tight. I started the interview the day after I came to Shanghai. At the first interview, the company decided to hire me. That is a kindergarten taught by foreign teachers. Because of my poor oral English, they valued me as a psychology student and suggested that I be a course consultant, but I didn't like it. Stupid and cute, I asked if I could answer them tomorrow, because there was an interview the next day, and I promised to go there. The other party said no, so it seems that I turned them down.

The first day you refuse others, the next day you are rejected. I went there for an interview and filled in my resume and their questionnaire for nearly half an hour. I didn't expect to be rejected by them in less than five minutes. There are many companies suitable for me. I thought they wanted a teaching assistant, but they said there was no such position. They recruited a counselor. They also said that their work objectives are unclear and their positioning is unclear. Hey, it's sad to be rejected for the first time. It was March 18, that is, the day when the postgraduate entrance examination adjustment system was opened. I thought after a psychological blow, I still had to study. I cried for a while and went back to look at the adjusted information. There are not many schools that accept my major. In addition to Class B schools (Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinghai and other places), only Ningbo University, Fujian Normal University and Shanghai Institute of Physical Education are still short of places. After seeing the transfer, I thought about whether to fill in Shanghai Institute of Physical Education, but they only accepted 2 1 1 and 985 undergraduates, and finally gave up after filling in half, so let's work.

At half past six in the afternoon, I got another call. The other party asked me how the interview was today. I honestly said that I was rejected, and then the other party said that it was recommended to them by the leader I interviewed yesterday. The leader is a shareholder of these two companies, and asked me if I would like to go to their company for an interview, and I accepted it gladly. In the next day's interview, the manager just paid attention to my passing CET-6, introduced my future work and asked me to start work on Monday. However, after just one day's work, I received a message from my friend at five o'clock in the afternoon, saying that China Normal University has expanded its enrollment by 10 this year, so whether it is 1.2 or 1.5, I can still enter the second interview. So I resigned at 5: 30, and the manager asked me to prepare for a second interview at work, but I refused. I said that the postgraduate entrance examination is very important to me, and my father also said that there is only one second interview and I can find a job again. The little friend also said that after all, it doesn't matter if you work hard for one year and work hard for another week. I received the email of the second interview notice at 6: 30 in the evening, and I will attend the second interview next Monday, so fortunately, I still have a week to prepare.

On Tuesday, I rushed back to school, finished the school meeting, filmed the lesson of graduation photo during the day, and began to review at 2 pm. Spent a week in the library. Because I memorized it before the initial test, I can remember it as long as I read the main points, so it is almost the rhythm of a book a day. Fortunately, I was prepared for the first two weeks at home, and all the questions that the teacher might ask were almost ready.

After preparing the materials to bring on Sunday night, I found that the copy of the CET-6 transcript was missing, only to find that it was given to the company during the interview. At that time, I thought it would be fine, and the teacher wouldn't care. I don't know if the teacher asked me if I didn't take CET-4 or CET-6 during the interview. I honestly confessed that I left it at home and forgot to bring it, so the teacher asked me how much I got in the English exam for the postgraduate entrance examination. I said 70, the teacher said it was not bad, and I didn't say anything. Alas, I blame myself for not checking it earlier. Hand in the materials on Monday morning, write in the afternoon and draw lots. The serial number of the lottery is used for the next day's interview. I'm really lucky, I got A3, one * * * four groups, one group 16 people, so the more anxious I was, the more I waited until the end. I appreciate my luck. We were all forced to get the written test questions, and none of the questions in the designated bibliography were tested. At first, we all thought it was the content of the experiment, and the content of the experiment was never tested, so I don't think anyone would. Later, it was found that it was not experimental content, but almost statistical knowledge. Fortunately, I have written a psychological paper before, so it is not difficult for students of this major, but it is a bit pitted for students of different majors, and even the three-line watch can't be understood. So I don't think it will be my turn to come last this time. Feel lucky.

The next day's interview has four links: comprehensive, application, ideological and political, and English. Ideological and political education is not included in the grade. It's really a burst of luck. I synthesized and applied these two proportions in the morning. I'm so happy. English, which I am most worried about, was put into the last game. At 8: 30, our group A first conducted a comprehensive interview. Due to the first cause effect, the teacher should have a good impression on me during the comprehensive interview. There is no requirement for professional knowledge in this session, but almost all the teachers of professional Daniel are in this session. The teacher only asked about the future plans, advantages and disadvantages. In addition, several of my former teachers graduated from China Normal University, and some of them were students of one of the professors, which suddenly narrowed the distance. 10: 30 The second interview is an application ability interview, that is, one person chooses the direction first and answers the questions in 6 minutes. Now that Group C has finished interviewing for the application ability, some people will say what questions have been drawn. But the students around me have chosen the direction of consultation, only a few management directions. Ten minutes before entering the second interview, we also enjoyed the backcourt resources. We asked what is the management problem, only three questions we already know, and all of them are not in the book. What is LMX theory, what is counter-productive behavior and the content of organizational management psychology. All the knowledge in the book "Organizational and Industrial Psychology" written by another management psychology teacher in China Normal University is different from the bibliography specified in our initial test. Everyone uses Baidu search. But I conquered the world by luck and absorbed the influence of organizational conflict, which happened to be familiar to me. Since no one had drawn this question before, I also talked about it for six minutes, so I talked about all the knowledge about organizational conflict in the book, and I was still talking when the timer rang. So I think it's still doing well in this link. The ideological and political work in the afternoon is very relaxed. I didn't even introduce myself in the English interview. You can also choose listening and translating materials in the morning. Maybe simple questions are almost revealed by everyone. In the afternoon, the teacher directly chooses listening and translation materials. Forget it if you don't understand. Read Premier Li Keqiang as Li Qiqiang. Finally, I comforted myself that except for the particularly strong ones, everyone's English level is similar, and I won at least two big heads. So there is still great hope. The admission list was announced the next day, and I was surprised to get from the last to 30 in the second interview.

Still believe that sentence: the harder you work, the luckier you are. There will always be rewards for paying, and dreams must be there in case of counterattack!
