Share the postgraduate entrance examination for chemical engineering major of Xiamen University?

1. About choosing a school and deciding on a major

Before sharing my experience, I would like to briefly introduce my personal situation to give everyone a reference. My major is chemical engineering and technology, and my undergraduate school is Changzhou University. It is a four-non-university, which started from petrochemical industry, so the ranking of this major among universities is pretty good.

Everyone must be very cautious when applying for colleges and universities, because it is related to their own level and more importantly to their study career in the next three years. The school I applied for is the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Xiamen University.

The major I applied for is chemical engineering. The reasons for applying are as follows:

(1) The difficulty is moderate

Applying The difficulty is moderate. If the difficulty is ranked among the colleges and universities applying for this major, the most difficult is 10, which is probably between 7 and 8. It is not as difficult as the old chemical engineering colleges such as Tianda University and Zhejiang University, but it is more difficult to apply for than colleges such as Nanjing University of Technology and Zhejiang University of Technology. (The details of the difficulty of applying will be discussed in detail later)

(2) Outstanding reputation

Xiamen University has a long history. Last year, 2021 just passed the same test as the Communist Party of China. Centenary. Therefore, as an old 985 or 211 school, it naturally attracts countless candidates from all over the country. And Xiamen is a tourist city with a very good economic level and development situation, because the location of graduate school selection is also very important. When it comes to chemical engineering at Xiamen University, although it is not as famous as Xiamen University's chemistry major, it is still somewhat famous and its ranking in chemical engineering majors in the country is also tenable.

(3) Preferential policies

Because I am from Nanjing, I originally thought about applying to Nanjing University, but unfortunately, Nanjing University does not provide accommodation for the master's degree. Considering the surrounding housing prices, This made me retreat, so I chose Xiamen University because it provided accommodation. I believe that many students will also be very concerned about some scholarship policies of colleges and universities. Xiamen University has the only scholarship policy in the country. The tuition fee is 10,000 yuan, and the scholarship is also 11,000 yuan. As long as you do not fail the course or violate disciplines, you can get this scholarship, which is equivalent to free tuition. There is a lot to know. College scholarships are graded. In addition, there are national scholarships, corporate scholarships, etc., which can be obtained as long as the individual has outstanding abilities.

2. Analysis of the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination

Judging from the score lines over the years, the score lines are gradually rising. I thought that the score lines in even-numbered years this year would decrease, but this is not the case. On the contrary It is 10 points higher than in 2021, which is why more and more candidates apply for the exam. There is no data on the official website about the admission ratio. The re-examination admission ratio will be analyzed in the following article. The main reform is to separate enrollment for physics and chemistry and chemical engineering principles. This is a good policy.

3. Initial test experience

(1) Review suggestions for various subjects

About mathematics: Let’s talk about the most important mathematics first. For our science and engineering students, it is no exaggeration to say that those who excel in mathematics win the world, so we must pay attention to mathematics and allocate the most energy and time to mathematics. Judging from my personal review rhythm, I started watching Teacher Tang Jiafeng’s basic class videos with my girlfriend during the winter vacation, that is, in February and March. Here are a few tips to share with you. Don’t trust your own self-discipline at home. If you are accompanied by fellow researchers, your efficiency will be greatly improved. Of course, it will be better if you are a couple who supervises each other’s studies.

When I was in the basic class, I didn’t start doing the exercises at the same time. I just followed the exercises in the video class of Teacher Tang’s basic class. Here I suggest that you still do the exercises while watching the class to achieve better results. Effect. After the start of school, due to the pressure of schoolwork and competitions, my math review fell behind a bit, but I tried my best to stay in touch with math every day to maintain my fluency. This is a relatively good habit, and it is recommended that you implement it this way, because there will be relatively more homework in the second semester of the junior year. While balancing the homework, you may not be able to have a lot of time to conquer mathematics every day, but Be sure to be exposed to mathematics every day, even if you do one problem.

Since I participated in the chemical engineering design competition and successfully entered the national competition, my summer vacation time was basically wasted, and basically all my time was devoted to the competition. Summer vacation is the golden period for studying questions, which is especially important for mathematics. Try not to go home during this summer vacation. Staying in school for review would be a good choice. After that, I became very nervous in September, because at this time, professional review must also be put on the agenda, but the most important thing is not to ignore the review of mathematics. The most time is still spent on mathematics, which is the basis for solving questions during the summer vacation. If you go to school, you can take a look at the courses in the intensive class, brush up on more questions to improve your skills, or you can start to get into practice papers. The focus of the tasks in October and November is to study the real test papers and simulation papers of previous years. Among them, we should pay attention to the real test papers. It is recommended to sort out the wrong questions while doing the questions. The real test papers are the best standard to test yourself. You must answer every question. Understand. In December, you can do some prediction papers. At this stage, you may spend a lot of time on politics. This is normal, but it is recommended that you still maintain about 2 hours of math study time every day. When the exam is approaching, it is not recommended that you delve into some difficult and strange questions. You can review the wrong questions you have sorted out before to consolidate them.

Judging from the trends in recent years, the current postgraduate entrance examination mathematics requirements for concepts are getting higher and higher, so everyone must pay attention to concepts during the review process.

About English: Words are the basis of everything. It is recommended that you memorize them together with the word book and APP. Regarding the real questions, it is recommended that you buy the Zhang Jian Yellow Book for the first time, which will have detailed analysis over the years.

In the early stage, I suggest you only do reading, because I took the English II exam and the real test questions started in 2010. Read one article every day without stopping. The important thing is to keep reading. It's normal to make 3 or 4 mistakes in a reading when you first start. Don't be discouraged. You need to understand clearly the reason for the error in each question. According to my personal experience, 99% of the reasons for incorrect questions are not knowing the words. After finishing the first time, you can brush it a second time. For the second time, you can buy cheap past papers to avoid traces of previous test papers that will affect your answers. Regarding the difficulty of cloze filling in recent years, I suggest you not to give up, but there is no need to spend too much time. The focus is still on reading the four articles. Of course, composition is also a very important part of the postgraduate English exam. If you have a good foundation in English, you can directly memorize the template and then add content by yourself based on the content of the question. If your English foundation is average, I suggest you follow some courses. If you need a clear composition structure, I recommend Pan Yun's nine-square grid method. After you have the structure, you can fill in the sentences. Zhou Sicheng's sentences are very good and you can learn from them.

About politics:

It is recommended that you start reviewing politics in September after the summer vacation. If you start too early, you will forget, because politics is different from other subjects. Subjects that can be crammed. For the first round, it is recommended that you follow Xu Tao's intensive class + Xiao Xiurong's in-depth lectures. You can pass it quickly. This round is mainly to get a general understanding. From my personal experience, I will forget something later. After the first round of playing, it will be around mid-to-late September, when you start to answer questions. Xiao Xiurong's 1000 questions is a relatively good choice. It is recommended that you sort out the knowledge points before doing the questions, and then do the questions after you have a thorough understanding. If you can complete 1,000 questions according to this requirement, it will be an ideal state. In the later work, it is recommended that you memorize some knowledge points of multiple-choice questions and use them to consolidate the practice with the mini-program for solving questions. When the eight figures and the four figures are released, the focus will shift to these two books. You can only do the multiple-choice questions of the figure eight, but the questions of the figures four Both multiple-choice questions and general questions are required. In the final stage, I recommend Leg Sister’s topic-based class. It is very clear and worth listening to. If you feel that the big questions of Xiao Si are not comfortable to memorize, Leg Sister’s topic-based class is a very good choice.

About professional courses: The professional courses of this major examine 828 chemical engineering principles. It is recommended to start the review of professional courses during the summer vacation.

The first round of review started from books. I felt that watching video lessons was a waste of time, so I directly read the books and supplemented them with the important and difficult points in the reference books. This time it will be boring, but you must pay attention to it. Xiamen University The investigation of chemical engineering principles is meticulous, and every detail in the book can be tested. You can take out a notebook to note down the important and difficult points on the way through the book, which will be of great help in solving questions in the future. Because I participated in the chemical engineering design competition, I basically didn’t have time to review for the postgraduate entrance exam during the summer vacation, so I was already very nervous by September. In order to save time, I went directly to the real questions after reading the book once. No matter which professional course you take, real questions are particularly important, and 828 is no exception. It is recommended that you study the real questions by module and chapter for the first time. Before you study the questions, you should sort out and consolidate the knowledge points in this chapter. After that, you will get twice the result with half the effort by studying the questions later. The second time you brush up on the questions, just press the set of questions. Don't refer to the book when brushing. Test your true level. You can find the feeling by brushing a few more sets. Of course, if you have enough time, you can brush up on some questions from reference books. Original questions from other reference books may even appear in Xiamen University’s real questions.

(2) Suggestions for the 828 professional course

For the reference books of Mathematics, English and Politics, you can refer to the more recognized books on the market. Here we focus on the reference books of the professional course 828.

Two official textbooks:

Chemical Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer

Chemical Mass Transfer and Separation Process

Chemical Engineering Principles Study Guide< /p>

Xiamen University 828 does not examine distillation and extraction, which is equivalent to reducing a lot of burden. The inspection direction is all the contents in the two textbooks, and any easily overlooked details may be inspected. The examination question types are comprehensive questions and major questions. The question types are relatively fixed and everyone can know them at a glance.

3. Re-examination experience

There are 130 people who took the re-examination in 2022, with a re-examination cutoff of 330 points. It is planned to recruit 90 people, and the re-examination admission rate is 69%.

The content of the re-examination is the ideological and moral character, professional knowledge, foreign language proficiency, business ability, scientific research potential, and psychological quality of the candidates participating in the re-examination. The re-examination method is PPT report + questions. PPT report (8 minutes) based on interview literature (choose 1 out of 3 articles). PPT content: personal introduction (1 PPT) + undergraduate scientific research training activities (1-2 PPT) + Literature explanation (at least 5-6 PPTs) + life planning (1-2 photos). Compared with other universities, the difficulty of the re-examination does not require knowledge of textbooks, so the difficulty is not high, but it cannot be ignored, because there have been examples of high scores being brushed over the years, so the re-examination must be paid attention to.

Generally speaking, the re-examination of Xiamen University is a PPT report. Therefore, the PPT must be made good-looking and you must ensure that you are proficient in the content on the PPT so that you can respond to questions calmly. Remember to practice in advance, complete the report within the time limit, and strictly abide by the time regulations. Of course, you must do a lot of homework beforehand. Try to figure out what the teacher will ask. It is recommended that you list the items so that you know what to expect. Scientific research experience is a relatively important part. I suggest you make these two pages of PPT. If you don’t have any scientific research experience at the undergraduate level, it doesn’t matter. You can consult your senior fellow students and learn from their research results. The literature explanation part is more difficult, so it is recommended to complete it together with classmates to achieve higher efficiency.

Suggestions and Encouragement

The postgraduate entrance examination is a protracted battle of will, and the postgraduate entrance examination is an arduous and long-term battle.
