Say it at the front
Since I resigned in June 2023, I have been preparing for the national exam wholeheartedly.
The advantage of full-time exam preparation is that you have plenty of time to review systematically, while the disadvantage is that you will face some financial pressure.
Either way, I believe that hard work will always pay off if you put your mind to it and persevere. In the past few days, the results of the national examination have come out, and I was fortunate to be shortlisted for the interview, and I instantly felt that my 6 months of hard work were completely worth it. Looking back on that fulfilling and challenging preparation for the exam, I would like to share with you some of my personal experiences, hoping that these little accumulations can provide some help to you who are preparing for the public examination.
After I resigned at the beginning of June, I first looked up relevant information on the Internet and combined with the experience of friends around me, I chose a course that suited me, and then I reviewed it in stages according to the curriculum. Based on my personal situation, I have developed a detailed preparation schedule, including the basic review stage, the intensive training stage, the simulated sprint stage, and finally the missing and filling stage.
Keep up with the pace
Don't use the lesson as an accompaniment during the lesson, and don't listen while playing with your phone.
Because I myself am always distracted, thinking that the progress bar is over, it means that I am finished, and it means that I will).
Since you have taken the time to listen, you should put yourself in the exam room, go into the question, and understand the question thoroughly.
02 Basic review stage
June-July
Systematically learn knowledge, and successively complete the modules of speech comprehension, quantitative relations, judgment and reasoning, data analysis, argumentation, etc., to lay a good foundation.
Common sense, personal advice does not need to spend too much time, the lowest cost performance, if the time is more sufficient, you can pay attention to the current political hotspots, chalk has weekly and monthly current affairs lessons, daily can be accumulated.
03 Intensive training stage
August
Adjust the weight of each module according to your own strengths and weaknesses, and reasonably arrange the review time of each module.
Because I am a science student, the line test part tends to focus on data analysis, judgment and reasoning. The second is verbal comprehension and quantitative relations. Each module has an independent study plan.
Insist on quantitative brushing every day, sort out your own knowledge blind spots through wrong questions, and carry out special attacks on weak links.
Data analysis
Proficient in knowledge points, able to quickly find data, understand and apply various chart information, strengthen quick calculation skills, and improve the efficiency of problem solving while ensuring accuracy.
Judgmental reasoning
Graphical reasoning is mainly to memorize the feature map, and then sort out and summarize according to the high-frequency test points over the years, and train the quick response ability to guess which knowledge point to test when you see the question.
To define and judge, it is necessary to grasp the stem questions and key words, and compare and select the best. Analogical reasoning should grasp the points of discernment, first horizontal comparison, and then vertical comparison, in addition to the accumulation of some common sense.
Logical judgment mainly masters arguments, argument identification, logical related words, reasoning, etc.
Verbal comprehension and expression
Accumulate vocabulary, phrases, and collocations, and master reading comprehension skills, such as quickly refining the main idea and finding key words.
Do questions regularly to improve reading speed and comprehension.
Quantitative relations
Familiar with basic mathematics knowledge and special problem types, including economic profits, travel problems, cattle grazing, geometry problems, etc., focusing on mastering problem solving methods and formulas.
Deuteronomy
Master the ideas and methods of answering summary questions, countermeasure questions, official document questions, essay questions and other types of questions, learn to grasp key words and summaries, and conduct targeted training.
In normal times, you can focus on hot events in economic, political, social, cultural and other aspects, accumulate case materials, and think about how to integrate these examples into the argument to improve the realism and pertinence of the argument.
04 Simulate the sprint phase
September-October
At this stage, I participated in every season of mock exams.
If you don't catch up, you can complete the answer in the previous year's test papers**, and strictly control the time. Long-term training can not only exercise the ability to quickly review questions and ideas, but also cultivate a good psychological quality of adaptability in the examination room.
If I take the test, I will do the questions in turn according to the modules I am good at, and each module strictly controls the time, and never procrastinates, otherwise it will affect the time of the following modules. If you want to get a high score, you must pick and do a few quantitative questions.
If you want to apply for an argument, get the paper, first look at the general question types to be tested, and do the questions in order from easy to difficult, and control the time of each question according to the score.
05 Fill in the gaps
November
In the last month of the exam, I focused on reviewing the whole and filling in the gaps, and combed and summarized the previous mistakes to ensure that I could master every knowledge point.
In addition, remember to maintain a good mindset and a regular schedule to face the exam in the best possible condition.
Finally, I hope that every test preparer can find their own rhythm on the road to the public examination, work steadily, and finally realize their dreams and successfully go ashore!
