Regardless of the results of the initial examination, you should prepare well for the re-examination! Don't be careless, over the years, I have seen some candidates who have been "stable" overturn in the re-examination process, for various reasons, and the common problem is carelessness!
Today, let's talk about some key steps and precautions for re-exam preparation::
1.Be sure to study the re-examination process and specific requirements of the admissions unit in depth
The most reliable source of information** is to check the official website of the school or college you are applying for, so that you can get the latest re-examination notices, procedures and related documents. Don't believe the information of all kinds of messy channels, the official website is the first! If there are confirmed re-examination questions of the past years, you must pay attention to them, and you can find previous candidates or teachers of the target unit to verify.
The specific content of the re-examination that should be carefully prepared includes: the examination syllabus, time arrangement and assessment standards of interviews, written examinations (if possible), experimental operations (for some majors), etc.
However, at this stage, the retest method of each unit has not yet been put online, and it can be almost online after the national line comes out, so it is roughly OK to take last year and the year before last, and it is estimated that the change will not be too big.
2.Preparation of various materials
Usually including but not limited to: preliminary examination transcripts, ID cards, student ID cards (for fresh graduates), academic degree certificates (for former students), resumes, research proposals, award certificates, English proficiency certificates, etc.
Some institutions may also require letters of recommendation or transcripts from the undergraduate level.
3.Carefully review professional knowledge
Review the basic knowledge at the undergraduate level, especially the content of the re-examination subjects of the applied major.
In addition, pay proper attention to the latest research trends, academic hotspots and cutting-edge theories in the direction of application, so as to be ready to ask questions during the interview.
4.Hurry up and improve your English skills
To strengthen your English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, one of the key points is to prepare a self-introduction in English and practice answering professional questions in English.
Some colleges and universities may have an English speaking test or a listening test, so do a good job of corresponding scenario simulation training in advance.
5.Improve your interview skills and skills
Mock interview scenarios, conduct multiple mock interview exercises, familiarize yourself with common interview questions and prepare answers.
Learn to show your strengths, such as scientific research experience, project experience, presentation, etc.
Improve communication skills and psychological quality, maintain self-confidence and calmness.
6.Contact the mentor and familiarize yourself with the target unit
According to the school's regulations and personal wishes, contact the intended tutor in advance. If you allow and need to, you can read the research results of your supervisor in advance, write an email expressing interest and fit, and show your understanding and enthusiasm for the research field.
Learn about the faculty of the admissions unit, research conditions, laboratory resources and other information, so as to reflect your understanding and sense of identity with the school in the interview.

Plan your time reasonably, not only to fully prepare, but also to ensure rest, and maintain a good physical and mental state to participate in the retest.
