Preparation time
My preparation time is September-November, the overall time should be about 70 hours, the advanced examination content is very much, 70 hours for me is still not enough time, my first paper is directly on the examination room to write, did not complete the practice, luck is better, the paper four choose one inside three questions I have actual project experience, so now made up, it is recommended to squeeze in some more time.
Exam Preparation
1. I spent the entire month of September watching the videos for the General Knowledge section, and although I had 1.5x speed on, the progress was not ideal because there wasn't much of a sense of urgency as well as the fact that watching the videos was really time-consuming. I spent about 30 hours watching videos here, and then a dozen hours brushing up on multiple choice questions and reviewing mistakes.
2.October after the National Day holiday back, about a month of review time left, through the video + check the way to complete the case study review, probably spent more than ten hours, and then spend more than ten hours to hastily read the paper how to write.
Overall time allocation, comprehensive knowledge 40 + hours, case study 10 + hours, dissertation 10 + hours, in fact, should be in the case study and dissertation on the allocation of more time, because the mastery of theoretical knowledge of the degree of investigation is gradually increasing, multiple choice questions only need to probably know that there is this, the case study needs to memorize the theory + a little bit to understand the dissertation needs to understand the theory and combined with the actual project
Recommended Test Preparation
-
comprehensive knowledge
Comprehensive knowledge of 75 multiple-choice questions test content is very broad, I think you can directly through the brush + encounter do not understand and then go to check the way, so it will be a lot faster, the video is too detailed, and when the time to do the questions and will find that there are a lot of did not talk about it, but also have to go to check the information once again! -
Case Study
The case study is mainly about memorizing the points of the theory and then roughly using the theory to do a bit of calculations, for example, I needed to decouple the table structure given in the question based on the database paradigm in the exam -
discuss a paper or thesis (old)
The paper is divided into two parts: the abstract (less than 300 words) and the main body (2000-2500 words)
The paper is actually a set, the main content is to introduce the theoretical knowledge of the topic as well as the application of the actual project, theoretical knowledge, the introduction of the actual project can be prepared before the exam, the actual number of words to be written on the spot is about 600-1000 or so.
In addition, the dissertation topic is four choices, and the scope of the examination is not large, after all, not all the topics can be written 2500 words out, about 5-6 types involved, if you do not have enough time you can focus on understanding the theory of 2-3 types of knowledge
