The first stage is to divide the scope of review according to the examination syllabus, systematically review the necessary basic knowledge of the examination on the basis of familiarity with the syllabus, and understand the basic content, key points, difficulties and characteristics of English for college students.
The second stage is to do a certain number of questions on the basis of the first stage, focusing on solving the problem of thinking. At this stage, we should pay attention to induction and summary, that is, after getting the questions, we should know from what angle and solve them in a few steps. As long as you have an idea, the process will be done, and candidates can master it flexibly according to the situation, thus saving time for reading more questions. Multiple-choice questions can be real questions over the years or exercises in books, but the real questions must be done in strict accordance with the requirements of the real questions, and the characteristics, solving ideas and operating steps of the real questions should be grasped.
The third stage is the actual combat training stage, which is also a very important stage before the exam. Candidates should make a final comb of the knowledge points required by the syllabus, memorize the answering mode, systematically make several sets of simulated test papers, conduct actual combat training, and review their scores through self-test. Before doing the simulation questions, we should systematically remember and master the basic questions, and pay attention to quality, speed and strict accuracy when doing the questions.
The final stage is the sprint before the exam, and the final counseling is given to the problems in the process of doing the simulated test questions, so as to check the missing and fill the gaps and take the exam in the best state.
For many years, college students' English test has been a thorny issue for candidates, and many candidates have lost the opportunity for further study because of their poor English test results. Especially for candidates who are bent on higher education, the difficulty of English course can be called the biggest and most worrying of all subjects. Since the English examination syllabus was greatly adjusted in 2005, candidates have generally reported that the examination questions are getting more and more difficult. English has almost become an insurmountable "gateway" for quite a few candidates. In this case, some candidates are "in a hurry to seek medical treatment" and blindly participate in various remedial classes. As a result, they spent a lot of time and energy, but the effect was not good.
From 2004 to 2007, the English admission line was almost always the lowest among the four courses (computer, English and specialized courses). Why is this happening? Some experts have analyzed: First, there is a big gap between the number and difficulty of college entrance examination English questions and the current college final exam. Many candidates report that even if they learn English well in college, if they don't take it seriously and review it well in the college entrance examination, it will be difficult to get good grades or even fail to pass the limit line. Secondly, compared with other courses, the current English test paper for junior college students is rich in content, wide in knowledge, comprehensive and highly skilled. If you only master knowledge and don't master problem-solving methods and skills, it is difficult to test the level. ?
Compared with before, the English examination syllabus in 2005 has been partially adjusted, and English in 2006 has also changed, and no teaching materials have been specified. This means that the direction of English test will be to pay more attention to the comprehensive application ability of candidates on the basis of mastering well. For the candidates who apply for undergraduate courses, how to review English well can be said to be the key to the whole undergraduate course review. A good review can pull others far away; If you don't review well, you will suffer losses or even lose opportunities.
The English content of NMET includes five parts: listening, single choice, reading comprehension, translation and composition. But as an English subject, the characteristics are the same, and the review methods are generally the same, and for English, as long as the methods are proper, it will improve rapidly. So as long as you master the correct review method, you can get twice the result with half the effort. The following preparation experience may give some inspiration to candidates.
English preparation must have a review schedule, that is, a careful and feasible plan. According to the plan, step by step, no surprise, cramming. ?
English is a basic subject, and the improvement of problem-solving ability is a long-term accumulation process, so the review time should be advanced appropriately and step by step. According to the test experience in previous years, many candidates began to review in May. Of course, candidates with poor English foundation can review the time in advance appropriately. Review must have a feasible plan to ensure the progress and effect of review through planning. Generally, review can be divided into four stages, and the starting and ending time of each stage and the tasks to be completed are defined by the candidates to ensure the feasibility of the plan.
According to the experience of high-scoring candidates over the years, it can be roughly divided into the following stages: the first stage is to divide the review scope according to the examination syllabus, and systematically review the basic knowledge necessary for the examination on the basis of familiarity with the syllabus, so as to understand the basic content, key points, difficulties and characteristics of junior college students' English. This time period is generally set before July. The second stage is to do a certain number of questions on the basis of the first stage, focusing on solving the problem of thinking. Usually from July to October. At this stage, we should pay attention to induction and summary, that is, after getting the questions, we should know from what angle and solve them in a few steps. As long as you have an idea, the process will be done, and candidates can master it flexibly according to the situation, thus saving time for reading more questions. Multiple-choice questions can be real questions over the years or exercises in books, but the real questions must be done in strict accordance with the requirements of the real questions, and the characteristics, solving ideas and operating steps of the real questions should be grasped. The third stage is the actual training stage, from 1 1 month to1mid-February, which is also a very important stage before the exam. Candidates should make a final comb of the knowledge points required by the syllabus, memorize the answering mode, systematically make several sets of simulated test papers, conduct actual combat training, and review their scores through self-test. Before doing the simulation questions, we should systematically remember and master the basic questions, and pay attention to quality, speed and strict accuracy when doing the questions. The final stage is the sprint before the exam, from/kloc-0 to the exam in late February. In view of the problems in the process of doing the simulated test questions, we will give the final counseling, check the missing and fill the gaps, and take the test in the best state.
Candidates should understand that learning English well is a long-term process, and it is impossible to be opportunistic. Therefore, it is not advisable to make a surprise attack before the exam and cram for Buddha's feet temporarily. Only by making steady preparations according to your own plan can you keep changing. As long as your comprehensive ability is improved, you can get good grades no matter how the exam changes.
Thoroughly understand the requirements of the examination syllabus and review the positioning accurately. ?
The examination syllabus is a guiding proposition issued by the education department and a programmatic document for candidates to review, and it is the fundamental basis for the proposition. It strictly stipulates the scope and difficulty requirements of all kinds of professional candidates, and is also the basis for candidates to make plans. First of all, we should carefully read the exam outline, and combine the exam questions in the past three years to truly understand the types, categories and difficulty characteristics of English exam questions, and accurately locate the review. Candidates should bear in mind that the content that has nothing to do with the outline is resolutely not read, so as not to waste time and lose more. Secondly, candidates should analyze the outline one by one, concentrate on research, and grasp the adjustment of the outline and the change of the proposition.
In fact, the outline is the review scope designated by the Ministry of Education for candidates. Candidates should refer to the outline, review it comprehensively, and don't miss it. This is the basic countermeasure of review. Understand the basic concepts and theories of English by reviewing the system and master the basic methods of English. If you want to get good grades in the college entrance examination, you must know yourself and know yourself. A "bosom friend" must first know his own advantages and disadvantages, so as to have a clear goal in study and review. "Know yourself" is to study the characteristics and trends of propositions in recent years, so as to find solutions. This work will be completed through the study outline and the examination questions over the years. For example, new knowledge points are usually the focus of propositions, and one of the characteristics of English exams is that new knowledge points are tested for 2-3 years. Therefore, it is necessary to closely combine the outline and the real questions in the review, so as to "know yourself and know yourself".
By analyzing the outline, candidates should highlight the key points when reviewing, and at the same time firmly grasp the hot spots of the exam. Generally speaking, the contents required to be understood and the methods required to be mastered in the syllabus are the focus of the examination, and the contents that appear repeatedly in the examination in recent years are the hot spots of the examination. On the basis of systematically reviewing concepts, theorems and formulas, focus on reviewing key points, difficulties and hot spots, and don't specifically do off-topic, difficult problems and strange questions. There are basically no off-topic and strange questions in the formal exam. Before starting a comprehensive review, it is very important to grasp the key chapters and frequently tested parts, because a comprehensive review does not mean that energy and time are evenly distributed on all knowledge points, but on the basis of a comprehensive review, we should grasp the key points, difficulties, hot spots and main test sites. Years of experience show that important test sites in various subjects generally account for 60%-70% of the examination syllabus. Grasping the key and difficult test sites can enhance the pertinence of the review, speed up the review progress, save a lot of time, improve the competitive advantage of the undergraduate course, and lay a solid foundation for getting high marks in the examination room. ?
As far as the characteristics of each course are concerned, English is still the most important thing in the exam, accounting for a large score and needing to be reviewed. Candidates should increase their review efforts in this part when reviewing. Translation and listening are the most difficult parts in college English test. In recent years, the scores of these questions are generally low. Different from single choice and reading comprehension, translation and listening do not emphasize answering methods and rarely involve problem-solving skills, but emphasize in-depth practice of basic abilities.
Facts have proved that the latest exam questions are very similar to those in previous years, accounting for about 5 0 points. Most of these questions are in another way, but the ideas for solving problems are similar. Therefore, for candidates, first, we should pay attention to the content of the annual exam and digest and consolidate the questions of previous years; The second is to pay attention to those contents that have not been tested for many years but are required by the syllabus. In this way, through accurate positioning, we can grasp the key points and hot spots of review and improve the efficiency and effect of review. ?
3. Pay attention to the basics, pay attention to and deepen the review and understanding of basic concepts, basic theorems and basic methods.
Candidates should pay attention to the practice of English ability and lay a good foundation. English is an applied subject. First of all, you need to have in-depth practice in application (narrative in your own language). Otherwise, it is inevitable to answer irrelevant questions or even do the opposite. Secondly, vocabulary and sentence patterns should be firmly remembered. Every question is composed of basic vocabulary and sentence patterns, and their different combinations form different questions, and multi-level combinations form problems with different complexity. Therefore, these words and sentence patterns are the basis of solving problems, and mastering and deeply understanding these contents has become the key to success in solving problems. It can be said that mastering words and sentence patterns is equivalent to finding a breakthrough and breakthrough point to solve the problem. The analysis of English answer sheets in recent years shows that one of the important reasons why candidates lose marks is that they have incomplete memory of basic vocabulary and sentence patterns, poor memory, inaccurate understanding and poor mastery of basic problem-solving methods.
In order to master, remember and understand all the vocabulary and sentence patterns skillfully, we must remember all the vocabulary and sentence patterns first, and then do a lot of basic exercises. When you do these basic questions, you can know the answers at a glance, which shows that you really have mastered the basic exercises. These questions seem simple, but they can help us to be familiar with and master vocabulary, sentence patterns and tenses, so candidates can't ignore and pay attention to them just because they are simple. For example, if the whole exercise is regarded as a building, then vocabulary, sentence patterns and tenses are like bricks and tiles, and the basic exercise is a wall made of bricks and tiles. It can be seen that mastering basic exercises is of great significance to candidates. In addition, candidates should also pay attention to the conditions, scope of application and deformation of sentence patterns and tenses, and use them flexibly on the basis of understanding. In recent years, there are more and more comprehensive and practical questions, so candidates should pay special attention to them. ?
As the saying goes, "never leave your hand, never leave your mouth" can reach a subtle level, so can learning English. Only by laying a solid foundation can we further improve our ability to solve problems. The importance of the foundation is self-evident, but it is not enough to focus only on the foundation. If you pay too much attention to the basics, you will stick to books and it will be difficult to adapt to the test questions. The purpose of laying a good foundation is to improve. However, if it is too heavy to improve, the foundation will be weak, leading to top-heavy and inadequate. Candidates should understand the dialectical relationship between foundation and improvement, arrange the review progress reasonably according to their own situation, and handle the relationship between laying the foundation and improving their ability. Generally speaking, foundation and improvement are staggered and segmented. At a certain stage of a period, the foundation is the main one, and only when the foundation is solid can it be improved. Then it entered another stage, and it is also necessary to lay a good foundation before improving the level, and so on. In this process, it is easy for candidates to encounter such a problem, that is, they feel that they have made little progress after a period of basic review or improvement, and even feel that the more they learn, the worse they will get. In this case, candidates should never be discouraged, but should firmly believe in their own abilities. As long as there is no problem with the review method, you should stick to it. Although there seems to be no progress, the actual level has actually improved unconsciously, because during this period, candidates have realized their own shortcomings and are in the process of adjustment and progress. What is needed at this time is the willpower of the candidates. Postgraduate entrance examination is a competition of willpower, which requires not only rich knowledge and high ability, but also strong willpower. As long as you stick to it, there is hope of success. ?
Fourth, strengthen the training of comprehensive problem-solving ability, be familiar with common questions and problem-solving ideas, and strive to make a breakthrough in problem-solving ideas. ?
Considering the characteristics of English subjects, it is very difficult to ask candidates to think clearly about all the problem-solving ideas themselves, which can usually be solved by consulting experienced teachers, attending remedial classes with good reputation or reading relevant remedial books. This can save time and improve the efficiency of doing problems. ?
Candidates should pay attention when choosing exercises. It is best not to do simulation questions first, but to do real questions first. Because the error rate of real questions is relatively low, and it is closest to the actual test questions. Some simulation questions are tricky and not feasible. If you do the simulation problem first, choosing a bad simulation problem will waste time and have a negative impact on your own problem-solving ideas. By doing real questions, candidates can really understand the key and difficult points of the investigation, and it is important to master all kinds of frequently asked questions. After completing the real questions, you will feel that your problem-solving ideas have been qualitatively improved and your understanding of English has changed. The experience of many candidates in previous years has proved this point. ?
Candidates should pay attention to the internal relationship between chapters when doing the questions. There will be some comprehensive and applied questions applied to multiple knowledge points in the English exam. This kind of test questions are generally more flexible and more difficult. Candidates should pay attention to the analysis of comprehensive typical problems and improve their ability to solve comprehensive problems. Mathematics has its own laws, and an important feature of its performance is the close connection between knowledge points and disciplines, which creates conditions for comprehensive propositions, so candidates should be trained in comprehensive test questions and application questions. Through this kind of training, we can accumulate ideas to solve problems, and at the same time, we can organically link all the knowledge points and turn the knowledge in books into our own things. ?
Candidates should do more examples when preparing for the exam, not just exercises. When doing examples, you should follow the following methods, that is, you must cover up the answers before reading them for the first time and do them yourself; Whether you do it or not, you should write down your thoughts in detail in the blank, especially when you can't. You must record your true way of thinking and leave it for later analysis, instead of getting the answer right and everything will be fine. This will soon find the feeling of doing the problem. In short, candidates should develop a good habit of doing questions, be a "willing person", carefully record the good or strange ideas and their own ideas in the answers they encounter, and read at ordinary times. Over time, their ability to solve problems will improve. For those typical, flexible, inspiring and comprehensive questions, we should pay special attention to the cultivation of problem-solving ideas and skills. English test questions are ever-changing, but the knowledge structure is basically the same, and the questions are relatively fixed. There are often obvious problem-solving routines. Mastering them skillfully can not only improve the pertinence of solving problems, but also improve the speed and accuracy of solving problems. ?
Of course, it is not worthwhile to improve English ability by doing problems blindly. There was once a candidate who usually had a high ability to solve problems, but his final exam results were not very satisfactory. When talking about the reasons for his failure, he said that he usually relies almost entirely on doing problems to improve his level, but he lacks a higher level of grasp and application of knowledge points, which leads to a serious decline in the scoring rate when encountering unfamiliar problems. Therefore, candidates can't do questions for the sake of doing them. They should lay a solid foundation and improve their grasp and application of knowledge points at a higher level. To be good at summarizing, it is best to form a familiar problem-solving system for English exercises, that is, to find corresponding problem-solving ideas for various types of questions, so as to take the initiative in the face of unfamiliar questions in the final practice exam. ?
Problems needing attention in intensive training before exams. ?
It is necessary to strengthen the intensive training before the exam and make more sets of simulation papers. Do several sets of simulated test papers within the specified time. First, you can know to what extent you have mastered the knowledge points you have tested, and at the same time you can know your weak links and make up for them quickly. Furthermore, through the usual training, we can provide some impromptu experience for the exam. The experience of a considerable number of candidates proves that if candidates can extend the various questions they encounter, or integrate the variants of the questions, they will be able to use them freely in the exam and achieve good results. According to the situation in previous years, many candidates often watch more and practice less. Some candidates complain that there are too many unfinished questions or mistakes after the exam. The reason is the lack of opportunities to practice writing and intensive training before the exam. Therefore, it is suggested that candidates systematically do several sets of simulation questions or sample questions within a limited time, and then analyze and summarize according to the answers themselves. When doing simulation questions, we should pay attention to the following points:
1. Pay attention to the allocation of time when answering questions. Be sure to do the questions in strict accordance with the actual test. Only by developing good habits at ordinary times can we have a good idea of the exam and not be caught off guard. ?
2. Remember tenses and sentence patterns before you do the questions, so that you can use them easily.
3. By analogy, we should not only do problems for the sake of doing problems, but also pay attention to the connection between knowledge points. ?
Let's talk about the matters that candidates should pay attention to in the process of answering questions, that is, some experience in doing the questions. ?
It is getting more and more difficult for universities to upgrade to undergraduate English, but according to the situation in previous years, there are generally about 50 basic questions. If you want to pass, you must seize these 50 points. The first 4-5 calculation questions in the examination questions over the years are almost all fill-in-the-blank questions, and multiple-choice questions belong to this category. Therefore, when arranging the order of answering questions, candidates should answer the fill-in-the-blank questions first, because this part is the simplest and easier to score. Of course, if there are examples similar to those given by teachers who usually read books or attend remedial classes, they can also do it first. Then answer the composition questions.
There are several ways to solve multiple-choice questions:
Deduction: it is suitable for the given conditions in the stem of the question. ?
Graphic method: it is suitable for the questions with certain characteristics given in the stem.
Counterexample exclusion method: exclude three, and the fourth is the correct answer.
Inverse inference: The so-called inverse inference is to assume that one of the four selected answers is correct, and then do the inverse inference. If the obtained result conflicts with the question setting condition or the well-known correct result, the alternative answer is rejected. ?
Choose counseling books carefully. ?
It must be emphasized that remedial classes or books are only a means of learning, and the ultimate solution to the problem depends on your own hands and brains. At present, some counseling materials on the market are very irregular and even beyond the outline. Candidates should pay attention to identification, resolutely do not read the contents that are not required in the outline, and there is no need to spend a lot of precious time and energy. Reference books emerge in an endless stream, and how to choose them is a problem that every candidate will encounter. Some experts put forward the following suggestions to candidates: First, we should choose counseling books that are summarized, strategically positioned in methods, guided in specific methods, and focused in problems. This kind of guidance book focuses on questions, not on sea tactics. The English topic is so big that it is impossible to finish it all. However, the amount of English questions is limited, so it is possible to master and understand the answers. Candidates should grasp the topic when reviewing, and it is best to memorize it. Secondly, we should choose forward-looking and forward-looking books. There should be some methods and skills elaborated by the author in the book, which can be used to solve the questions of the college entrance examination in the future. Candidates don't have to choose too many books, but the tutoring books they choose must have important vocabulary, tense and sentence analysis and explanation. So how can we know whether the books written by many authors have these two characteristics? Candidates can learn in three ways. First, go to the bookstore and read more books for comparison; The second is to understand the situation among the students transferred to the university; The third is online consultation for information. ?
Candidates should understand when using counseling books that reviewing reference books is written for the needs of most people. For everyone, there must be something in the book that is not suitable for him or wastes his time. Therefore, when reviewing, you must be the owner of the book and choose the parts in the book according to your own situation. Only in this way can we make full use of our limited energy. In addition, when reading these counseling books, candidates should practice with examples, think about the reasons for doing right (wrong) after finishing, and then look back at the tips and hold on to the questions. ?
What is the use of remedial classes?
Choosing a good remedial class is still necessary for candidates with poor English foundation. First, with the professional advantages and rich counseling experience of counseling institutions and counseling experts, help candidates grasp the test methods and questions of test sites, key points, difficulties and knowledge points; Second, candidates can be "forced" to review regularly to improve the efficiency of review; Third, it can provide accurate test information and precious internal information. According to the experience of candidates who have participated in remedial classes in previous years and achieved good results, remedial classes generally choose summer classes and autumn classes, depending on their individual abilities. If you have a strong English ability, you can choose the punching class directly, without applying for the summer class; If the foundation is not good and the ability is poor, it is best to apply for summer classes, because summer classes are slow and detailed, mainly to help candidates lay the foundation. At this time, it will be better to follow the tutorial after class, which can improve the review efficiency for students with poor self-study ability. ?
When attending a remedial class, it is best to look at what the teacher is going to say in advance before each class, otherwise it is likely to fail to keep up with the teacher's ideas and affect the effect of the class; When reviewing after class, try to fully understand the problem-solving methods mentioned by the teacher. It doesn't matter if you don't understand them. Write them down as the focus of future review.
For students with strong self-control and regular learning, they can apply for summer classes. Generally speaking, the effect of summer class is better than that of spring class. After several months of review, candidates can systematically read five parts of English, so that they will not be stumped by some uncommon things in class and can think with the teacher.
After attending the remedial class, candidates should systematically review the basic knowledge necessary for the exam on the basis of being familiar with the outline in advance. This process should be completed before attending the remedial class. Then in the remedial class, we should follow up in time, digest the teacher's lecture content, and pay attention to induction and organization. After finishing the remedial class, according to the problem-solving ideas of various questions summarized by the teacher, I consciously read books and do problems, and further sum up and solve thinking problems on the basis of a certain amount. ?
Some candidates may be more concerned about the choice of remedial classes, because candidates who have participated in remedial classes have linked their review plans to the progress of remedial classes. If the selected remedial class is not suitable for you or the quality is not good, it is likely to lead to the failure of the whole review. In previous years, there were also candidates who affected the final exam because of the problems in the remedial class. So how to choose a suitable and high-quality remedial class? Some experts suggest that candidates, when choosing remedial classes, should first have a more accurate evaluation of their abilities, so as to choose what kind of classes, such as basic classes or intensive classes. Secondly, candidates should comprehensively consider the teachers, counseling materials, word of mouth and services of the counseling school. You can ask the seniors who have just finished the last exam. Because they have personal experience, they can often provide more accurate information. Of course, if several courses are good, several people will cooperate and one will sign up for one course. This can not only save money and energy, but also accept more knowledge and information. ?
Candidates should understand that tutorial books and classes are just tools to help you review, and you must never be superstitious about which book or class. The experience of many candidates has proved that the achievement of good test results ultimately depends on one's own brains and hands-on. Only listening to a few classes and reading more books will not lead to good results. ?
English test is not only a test of English knowledge, but also a test of candidates' comprehensive quality, such as psychological ability to cope with challenges, ability to analyze and solve problems, ability to simplify problems and so on. Many candidates usually study well and have solid basic skills, but they can't catch the "fighter plane" in the exam, so they can't get ideal results. Some students "see a doctor" before the exam, and as a result, they have messed up what they have mastered. So a few days before the exam is very important for candidates. Whether the arrangement of these days is reasonable or not will directly affect the performance of candidates in the examination room. Candidates should pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Don't do simulation questions for a day or two before the exam, because poor answers will easily hurt your self-confidence. At this time, you should do more basic common problems, think more about the solutions to these problems, and think more about the mistakes you are prone to make when solving problems. One candidate's experience is worth learning from. He wrote down all the mistakes he made in solving problems in a small notebook so that he could read them before the exam and remind himself not to make similar mistakes again.
Don't read books like sprint before the exam every day. There are no methods and skills to solve problems in these books, only some simulation problems. It is of little significance for candidates to do these simulation questions before the exam. Moreover, the angles of some so-called sprint questions are quite different from the real questions. Doing these questions will only have a negative impact on the candidates' problem-solving ideas. ?
Third, if the solution of an example in the reference book you read is particularly difficult to understand, this kind of problem will generally not be tested, so don't waste time on this kind of problem. ?
Fourth, for candidates with poor foundation, don't think that you should take the practice lightly when you go to the remedial class. English is different from other courses. Other courses can be improved through a period of study, while English should be practiced frequently, especially some basic applications. Because any problem-solving methods and skills are based on familiarity with the content, only if you are very familiar with the basic theory can you play the problem-solving skills. Therefore, before the exam, these candidates should read a book according to their own situation and think about the basic problem-solving ideas of various questions. ?
Five, it is best not to read the new reference books before the exam, just eat the original reference books thoroughly. One is that time is not allowed, and the other is that each book has its own methods and ideas for solving problems. Just read a book thoroughly, but more is not good. In addition, it is also important to sum up the experience of taking various exams in the past. ?
6. Be sure to relax and calm down during the exam, especially when you see some unfamiliar topics, you must be calm and don't lose your mind. For the questions that are more sure, we must strive to do it completely right, and never do anything to influence the score. For strange questions, if there is a chance, you must write them out. In the exam, you should "count every point, count every point". If the result of a question is complicated, you should immediately deny yourself and do it again. ?
I believe that every candidate can improve his comprehensive problem-solving ability qualitatively after planned review, so as to calmly face the changes of test questions and get good results in the final practice exam.
