Tell me about your road to preparing for the exam?

I believe that many people have disrupted their original plans and arrangements because of the epidemic. As an international student who is forced to return to China, I want to talk about my preparation methods and mentality.

First of all, I would like to share with you the reasons for my examination of teaching resources. My decision to test teaching resources was mentioned in an accidental chat with my friends. Because I returned to China for vacation in early 2020, I just caught up with the epidemic, which made it impossible to return to school abroad. At first, I was optimistic that the epidemic would end within a year, so I found a part-time job to earn some pocket money. However, contrary to expectations, foreign borders have been closed for a long time, and the age has increased a little. Part-time job can't make up for the annual tuition increase, and the mentality is gradually unbalanced. During that time, I always talked to my friends. Later, my friend said that it is better to take an examination of a teaching fund, which can be regarded as getting a certificate during the gap period in China. From then on, I began the journey of preparing the teaching fund.

I may have said a little too much in front of me. Back to the topic, I was very happy to go ashore at the first time, which is a small account of my efforts in the past two months and my free time in China for two years. Generally speaking, the mentality of the exam is very important. You need to find the motivation for textual research. For me, there are two motives. One is long-term incentives. Getting this qualification certificate can pave the way for returning to China to engage in the teaching profession. The short-term motivation is that I didn't report for class. Saving some money is an effective factor to improve my self-efficacy (hehe).

The second factor works at the same time in the early stage of preparing for the exam, which will make people feel like they have beaten chicken blood. But after a week's study, the promotion of long-term factors will be greatly reduced. At this time, short-term incentives are particularly important. After reviewing for a month, the short-term factors began to lack stamina, and the long-term factors slowly played a role. In fact, preparing for the exam is a struggle of willpower. No matter how good the learning method is, in the last week of this competition, willpower will support you to the end.

Let me share my review method with you. My undergraduate and graduate studies have nothing to do with education, so it seems a little difficult to study subject 1 and subject 2 (I took the English exam in senior high school), because many technical terms of educational psychology need to be memorized by myself. From the beginning, I felt that there was something wrong with my focus, mainly because I didn't understand the examination routine of teaching funds, and thought that every knowledge point had to be thoroughly understood before I could learn, which caused me great trouble at the beginning and wasted a lot of time.

The first subject I studied took about ten days. Because I need to go to work every day, I want to control my study time to 2-3 hours. However, when I take a break from work, I must go over those knowledge points in my mind. Before going to bed at night, you can read the knowledge of subject one for half an hour, because this part involves a wide range and it is difficult to improve in a short time, but the advantage is that it is easier to remember, just like a short story, and you can remember it once.

Ten days later, I began to read subject two, only to find that subject one is a small chapter of subject two, and the preparation of subject two is reciting. The first thing that must be tested, such as the methods, contents and ways of education and moral education, is that the earlier you read it, the more helpful it will be for you to answer big questions in the exam. The rest is to logically connect all the chapters together for memory. I want to say, in my experience, it is impossible to memorize all the knowledge points in subject 2, but at least you should have something to say when you encounter problems, because the exam scores are given according to the knowledge points, so you should have a certain impression on the knowledge points in each section in your mind. Exam skills will be mentioned later.

Subject three didn't read much, only for about three days. Because I have lived abroad for eight years, I have underestimated senior high school English, which also led me to start reading the short answer questions of subject three the day before the exam, and the effect was quite bad. Here, I also hope that everyone will not learn from me, but will allocate review time equally. I won't repeat the high school English multiple-choice questions. Subjective questions are a little memorized this year, and the teaching plan test is oral English, which is completely unprepared. So when I finished the exam, I also felt that there was little hope that subject three might pass. But it turns out that you should never underestimate your efforts and have confidence in yourself.

Share my examination method again. Subject one, I brushed the real questions before the exam and the public forecast questions. Although I didn't encounter the original question, I still made a good investigation of the form of the question and the knowledge points that may have been ignored. For example, teaching as a teacher covers many aspects, and I can know what is in the teaching scope of being a teacher by brushing a few more questions. Teaching and educating people is sometimes easily confused with teaching as a teacher. Reading more real questions can help you better understand the concept. There is also the composition of subject one. Because everything from small to uppercase is uppercase, it is difficult, so 18.

Therefore, for me, in the review, I must ensure that the topics other than composition reach 70-80, so that even if the number of words in the composition is not enough or off topic, I can pass the exam of subject one smoothly. Sure enough, I didn't finish my composition during the exam, but I finished it smoothly, ensuring the integrity of my composition. This kind of deduction will only deduct the number of words, and will not deduct the composition and incomplete structure. I hope everyone will remember this little trick. I passed 7 1 in my last subject, and I feel that I really got about 20-25 points in my composition.

When reviewing the exam of subject 2, I think subject 2 should be the most difficult. Because the knowledge points are too complicated and I haven't touched them, it turns out that subject 2 is the easiest in the exam. As long as you keep all the knowledge points in mind, you can basically guarantee to finish the exam 40 minutes in advance. I won't go into details here, because subject 2 takes a lot of review time, so it is the one that is most sure to pass the exam. Here, I want to say that the two main points of this question are on the subjective questions at the back, and the amount of words is very large, so don't waste too much time on the multiple-choice questions at the front, which will consume your brain power and cause you to forget the knowledge points you recited when writing the subjective questions.

I basically finished writing all the multiple-choice questions in subject three in about 20 minutes. Then I choose to write lesson plans first, because I know I didn't read my short answers and cases before the exam, but I have an impression on lesson plans, so it is also a good strategy to write these big questions that can get points first.

Finally, let me talk about my test mentality at that time. My mentality after the exam is that I think the composition should pass without accident. At that time, the score was only 20 points, and it turned out that the final score was almost the same. So I had mixed feelings at that time, and the remaining two subjects were taken in the afternoon, so I tried not to think about what I finished at noon. When I got the test paper of subject 2, I probably glanced at the big questions and thought I understood them all, so I answered the subjective questions first, for fear of forgetting them later. After answering the analysis and short answer, I began to write multiple-choice questions, and you can also learn from them.

When I finished all the big questions, I felt much more relaxed. You can also have an epiphany and give full play to the questions that you are not sure about later. Finally, the subjective questions should not be empty, not empty, not empty. Because of the short answer and case analysis of subject three, I have no idea at all, but it has something to do with subject two. At this time, I wrote all the relevant knowledge I could think of in subject 2. I think the final passage of subject three can't be separated from this kind of exercise.

Finally, I hope everyone can get in. I also see that many friends may be depressed because of failure, but I hope you can cheer up after being depressed, because the funding has two years' opportunity, so this time it's to practice on behalf of others and come on.
