Xinxiangxu Postgraduate Examination: 2023 Marxist Theory Postgraduate Experience of China University of Geosciences

1. Introduction of institutions and majors

China University of Geosciences: Science and Engineering, "Double First-class", "211 Universities", "985 Engineering Advantageous Discipline Innovation Platform"

In general, although the University is not as famous as Wuhan University and Huake, the advantage of the University lies in its small but refined school philosophy, and the school is extremely strong in the field of earth sciences. Compared with the NPC and Wuhan University, although the Malaysian theoretical subject ranking is not A+, the title of 211 graduates can definitely help you earn a place in employment.

As one of the first batch of key Marxist colleges in Hubei Province, Didama Institute was approved as a postdoctoral research mobile station for first-level disciplines of Marxist theory in 2014 and a doctoral program in first-level disciplines of Marxist theory in 2018, forming a complete talent training system of "bachelor-master-doctorate". In the fourth round of discipline evaluation organized by the Ministry of Education, Marxist theoretical disciplines ranked in Class B, with a national percentile of 20-30%, ranking in the forefront of universities with characteristics in agriculture, forestry, water, mineral oil and other industries.

In the same as the postgraduate entrance examination of other universities, public courses basically do not pull points, and professional courses are often more able to open the gap. The Malaysian theory major has gradually changed from the previous 4:1 to about 6:1, and from the score line, it is 378 in 20 years, 335 in 21 years, and 374 in 22 years.

The major of Marxist theory is divided into four directions, the first is the basic principles of Marxism, mainly to study some classic works and basic theories of Marxism; The second direction is the study of the sinicization of Marxism, mainly studying the development process of Marxism in China; The third is ideological and political education, which is a key discipline in Hubei Province; The fourth is the study of basic issues in modern and modern Chinese history, which is a new major opened by the University in recent years.

The content of the initial examination is the same, all set of papers, and after enrollment, except for a slight difference in the training plan, there are not many other differences. In general, the difficulty of the postgraduate examination is not too difficult, based on the syllabus, and then moderately expanded, it is not a problem to obtain high scores. The difference is that in the re-examination, the reference book for the re-examination of the basic principles of Marxism and the direction of the study of the sinification of Marxism is "Principles of Political Science", the reference book for the direction of ideological and political education is "Principles of Ideological and Political Education", and the reference book for the research direction of basic issues in modern and modern Chinese history is "Essentials of Modern and Modern Chinese History".

The duration of study is three years, the first two years are mainly classes, the third year is to write a graduation thesis and find related jobs, many people start internships in the second year, and the university is in Hongshan District, there are many internship opportunities.

Candidates must focus on the professional course syllabus in their review, outline and gradually expand their knowledge.

4. Retest experience and preparation direction

1. Assessment content: including professional quality and ability, comprehensive quality and ability, training potential, etc., it is a comprehensive examination of candidates' previous studies, consistent performance, scientific research ability, comprehensive quality and ideological character;

2. The interview begins with an English test (about 5-8 minutes) followed by a professional-level test (about 12-15 minutes).

Grades are calculated by :

1. Total score of re-examination (out of 100 points) = Professional basic assessment * 50% + comprehensive quality assessment * 50%;

2. Final total score = 100% system of preliminary test score * 60% + 10% score of retest score * 40%; The total score is calculated according to the weighting of the preliminary test and retest results, and the ranking difference is selected according to the total score, and the weight of the preliminary test score and the retest score is 60% and 40% respectively. When calculating the overall score, the initial test results are converted into a 100-point scale.

Retest experience

As long as the preliminary test score is more than ten points higher than the score line, there is basically no risk of elimination, so the safest thing is to try to improve the preliminary test score. The re-examination mainly relies on two parts, the first part is professional class questions, and the second part is English ability. For professional courses, the author is an online interview in 2022, the teacher will randomly choose a question from the question bank and send it over, which coincides with the real questions of previous years, so it is best to collect information about past years of real questions from senior brothers and sisters in previous years, and then summarize them themselves, and then prepare for review, which is more secure. There is basically not much super-level content in professional courses. At the same time, all students have to accumulate more current affairs, horse theory needs to keep pace with the times, so the retest knowledge points are relatively wide, but students do not need to panic, because the interview of the teacher of the university is still relatively relaxed, assuming that the teacher who can't answer the question will still give you a different question, and the question after the change is still more basic, so it is very important to return to the basics of books.
