First, the introduction of biology postgraduate entrance examination
Let's learn about biology first. What is biology? I believe that most of you are majoring in biological science, biotechnology, bioengineering, bioinformatics and so on. During the undergraduate course, you also studied many specialized courses, including animal biology, plant biology, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, general ecology and so on. The textbooks of each course are very thick, especially biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology, which are core courses and account for a large number of credits.
In the postgraduate stage, the division of biology is more detailed. General research interests are microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, cell biology, botany, physiology, zoology, aquatic biology, neurobiology, genetics, developmental biology, biophysics, ecology and bioinformatics. These research directions are both two disciplines, both of which belong to the first-class discipline-biology. When you take the postgraduate entrance examination, you will basically choose one of these two subjects as your postgraduate major.
Nowadays, many people choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but they are afraid that they will not be admitted. One reason is that the competition for postgraduate entrance examination is too fierce, and another reason is that it is too difficult to prepare the corresponding examination subjects. Speaking of a subject that everyone has a headache from high school to college, mathematics will definitely be on the list, and the difficulty of postgraduate mathematics should not be underestimated. Mathematics for postgraduate entrance examination averages about 65 points per year. Fortunately, in the postgraduate entrance examination, biology majors don't take math, but generally take politics (100), English (100), major one (150) and major two (150), so it will be much less difficult to prepare for the exam without math.
My total score in the initial test is 382, political 8 1, English 60, biochemistry 129, and general biology 1 12.
Second, the first trial
(1) English:
Materials used: Romance+Yellow Book (true questions of English postgraduate entrance examination in recent 20 years)+Nine steps for Pan Yun to get high marks in English postgraduate entrance examination+some supporting handouts for online courses for English postgraduate entrance examination teachers.
Video used: Liu Xiaoyan grammar lesson video+Tang Chi's real reading explanation video+Kao Chong's composition video+Tang Jing's translation video+Pan Wei's composition live class+Li Yuji's new topic video.
The general process: recite the words, read the long and difficult sentences in grammar at the same time, and then start to do the real questions! At the same time, listen to the teacher's online class!
Words are the core part of learning English. From the day you decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination, don't fall behind in memorizing words. Recite 200-300 words every day until the day before the postgraduate entrance examination.
Words: I have been reading Love Expressed in Words unit by unit with Zhu Wei's part of speech every day since March. After reading it for half a month, my feeling is that there are too many essays by Mr. Zhu Wei, and sometimes one third of each class is chatting.
Besides, I watched the play "Sansheng Stone III", so I didn't watch much. I don't remember anything, and then I stopped watching it. In April, I suddenly felt that there was no time. If you can't play, you won't recite words from the video, which is a bit time-consuming. Instead, I recite words with the APP every day, 200 or 300 words a day. I always recite love words twice, and I haven't used copybooks since. They are all on the mobile app, reciting 300 or 200 words every day. In addition, there are words that must be memorized, which is the most critical word. In this regard, when I brush the real question for the first time, I will list all the words I can't learn in my notebook and recite them.
Grammar: It is really easy to understand Xiaoyan's grammar class when memorizing words in April and May, but Jing Tian's grammar class is also recommended! Either of the two teachers can look at their personal preferences. They both speak very well. After reading it, they can basically master long and difficult grammar sentences!
Of course, you can't just watch the video. Taking notes and reviewing long and difficult sentences that you don't understand in the future will save a lot of time and improve learning efficiency.
Reading: When you have absorbed all the words and grammar lessons in a down-to-earth way, you can start to read the real questions (watch Tang Chi's video! ), reading is to be able to read. If you want to read, you must first know the words, then analyze the long and difficult sentences, then read a paragraph and finally understand the whole article.
When you brush the real questions for the first time, you only need to brush the reading questions once a day. Don't just ask for more Don't be afraid of your slow progress. Every reading is very valuable. You should cherish the resources of real questions. When you do it for the first time, you can do it from time to time at the beginning, and you can understand the sentence thoroughly after you finish it. After I finish writing an article, I will translate it myself. After reading the real questions for the first time, I will brush the second reading, new questions, translation and cloze, so in general, I will brush the real questions at least twice, and the rest of the new questions, translation and cloze at least once.
Translation follows teacher Tang Jing's translation class, which is very nuanced!
The new questions given by Li See Yuji are very good and the methods are complete! Liu Xiaoyan's method is similar to that of Li Yuji. Teacher Li Yufei's resources are not easy to find. You can also visit Liu Xiaoyan. Liu Xiaoyan should be summed up according to teacher Li Yuji's method, so two people can see anyone.
Composition: After reading Pan Yun's Jiugongge skills, Pan Yun will give many templates and just fill in the words! I also watched the online class of teacher Shi Leipeng, the exam bug, which was very good! You can combine the two to sum up your own template!
The small composition is relatively simple. I also watched Mr. Shi Leipeng's composition class, which was basically enough. After listening to his class, I will have a writing idea of a small composition, and I will know how to write it when I get to the examination room!
(2) Politics: Information used:
Core Examination+Exquisite and Concise+1000 Questions+Leg Sister Skills Course Handouts+Leg Sister Sprint Four Sets of Volumes+Xiao four shaw Eight+Xu Tao Yellow Book.
Video used: intensive class video+leg sister skill class video+Xiao four questions analysis video.
General process: first of all, we should have a textbook for political courses, right? So you can choose Tao Ge's core exam or Xiao Xiurong's exquisite exam. The main difference is that the content of the core exam is more refined, and it is more convenient to listen to Tao Tao's class and match Tao Tao's book!
The essence and conciseness are more detailed, so you can refer to the knowledge points when you brush the questions.
Starting from July and August, I took the core test cases and studied a chapter with the intensive class in Tao Ge every day. At the same time, I completed the title of the corresponding chapter on 1000, so as to apply what I have learned. No matter which teacher's video you watch, Ma Yuan is the first person to talk about it. Ma Yuan is a bit difficult to understand, but the difficult things are difficult for everyone, and it is not difficult to understand them. Find the right principle, and you will get points for big questions!
When I finish following Ma Yuan, Hughes, Shi Gang and Mao Zhongte in Tao Ge (I have forgotten the specific months, anyway, it is very appropriate for everyone to follow the steps step by step every day), and then I will start to transfer to the skill class of Leg Sister around 10, and Leg Sister's class will be more exam-oriented. Skills class must not be missed, especially great! ! ! Those problem-solving skills are really useful to help you improve the correct rate of problem solving! ! !
After reading the intensive classes in Tao Ge and the skill classes of Sister Leg, the basic knowledge is almost the same. If it's still early, you can choose the skill class of Sister Brush Legs and use it to do the 1000 problem again. If time is running out, the remaining focus is to brush more high-quality simulation questions. The simulation problems that sell well in the market (I use four sets of volumes and small eight of Sister Leg) can be bought for practice. At this time, Sister Leg's recitation manual is also a treasure. The first thing I do when I get up every morning is to read some multiple-choice skills on the last pages of the recitation manual. Day after day, whoever achieves perfection, the correct rate of multiple-choice questions will inevitably advance by leaps and bounds.
About1February, I bought Xu Tao's review materials and took them with me every day in vb in Tao Tao, so that I could store some materials and materials in my mind and have something to say during the big exam!
65438+ In mid-February, Xiao Si came out and hugged Xiao Si! Back to the examination room! ! ! Xiao da's betting rate has always been good! !
③ Biochemistry
The biochemistry book is the fourth edition of Wang Jingyan (ps is not much different from the third edition, just use the one you have).
Of course, in addition to the teaching materials, undergraduate courseware is also highly recommended (although most of the courseware in the first volume has been made by undergraduate teachers in English), but the important contents of the courseware in the second volume are all in Chinese, with clear organization, and the key points are marked in 1, 2, 3 according to the short answer ideas. At the same time, not all the contents of the two books should be tested, and there are some key points. Students in need can consult in detail.
As for exercises, the exercise book I especially recommend is Biochemistry Postgraduate Entrance Examination (Second Edition), which I also recommend to my students when I am in class. The cover is as follows: there are many similar topics in it, which are very suitable for practice after learning a chapter.
Then, in addition to the usual exercises, the final questions of our undergraduate course are also worth brushing, many of which are similar to the real questions, which can make you feel a little tested before you formally do the real questions.
(4) General Biology (I put the title at the back), including two books, General Biology and Microbiology. The first time I read this book, I found it very interesting. As an encyclopedia, I think it is similar to the biology book in high school, but it is more detailed and has more contents. Then I finished reading the book and read it again, because there was a lot of content. The second time I read it, it was as good as new, but then I started to learn microbiology and I read it again. This book is the same as my scientific microbiology book, so I will be more familiar with it. Then I can spend the real questions on it, so that I can find the content later, and then recite the exercise book. Explaining the name is a headache because it is not sorted out. It took me a long time to find a good one to buy! ! And my own recitation range and topic. I memorized two workbooks, and there will be repeated questions, and there will be one workbook with the right answer. I put them all in a book and recite them. I will recite them, read the real questions and recite the real questions in the future.

Third, summary.
1. Don't spend too much time. The postgraduate entrance examination is for myself, not for others, so don't say that I sit in the library from morning till night every day. It's no use sitting and sleeping all the time if I don't study!
The most important thing is that the study time suits you. You don't have to get up early, you have to go to bed early.
You don't have to get up early to grab a place in the library. You can get into the best place because there is a strong learning atmosphere, but it doesn't matter if you don't get into the exam.
4. Work and rest. Postgraduate entrance examination is not a monk. Going out for a walk, eating a hot pot and playing a game is nothing, but it must be moderate! Playing every day is not ok!
The most important thing is to persist, don't give up halfway! Once you decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you should stick to your choice and don't give up halfway because of temporary fun or unbearable pressure.
6. If you choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, don't leave yourself a retreat. Don't think that I only learn a little this year, and I will try the water next year. With this mentality, I advise you to do something else, because many cases around me show that it is often impossible for people who think they can enter World War II in the first year.
7. If I choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, I will review it carefully. Don't think about whether I can go abroad again, or whether I can take an exam in Selected Graduates or something. It is basically impossible, and it will eventually lead to nothing.
8. Don't neglect any subjects. If you get high marks in specialized courses, you must focus on reviewing, but at the same time, don't ignore politics and English. These two courses can't cross the line, and it's useless to take professional courses, otherwise you can only adjust.
9. Be sure to sleep well the day before the exam, and don't stay up late to study! ! Please don't! I am a painful lesson! Please.
10. During the exam, you should fill in the political and professional courses, even if you can't write them! ! ! Write as much as you can, and write everything you know within the allowed time! ! !
1 1. If you are in a bad mood, you must communicate with your family, friends, classmates and teachers in time, because when you think about it carefully, you will find that everyone loves you and wants to fully support you. Don't be afraid to express your feelings. No one will laugh at you. We all want to help you! Negative emotions such as anxiety, confusion and fear are reasonable and normal, but please get rid of them in time! The road of life is still very long! Come on!
Four. suggestion
Never mind whether you started late, because the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now. Since you missed yesterday, please start working hard today, it's completely in time! Come on, take the postgraduate entrance examination!
