Features: The original complete publication of the successful experiences of 74 top high school exam candidates from Peking University and Tsinghua University in 2000. This year's candidates, parents, and teachers are fully mobilized to absorb valuable practical experience. Study methods, exam strategies, on-the-spot mindset, college major selection, and the direction of the college entrance exam—all the essential needs of candidates are here! Professor Wang Jisheng, a leading expert in China's college entrance exam research whose research has changed the destinies of generations of candidates, conducted in-depth interviews with 74 top candidates from the 2000 national college entrance exams (both liberal arts and sciences) and provided expert commentary and summaries on the interview content to help students achieve their best results in the exam. Among them, 34 liberal arts candidates share their efficient learning methods and successful mindset adjustments: don't waste time unprincipledly; the quantity of practice problems doesn't matter; never be foolishly diligent; after the exam reform, leverage your individuality; fill in your college major based on your own conditions. Their learning experiences are universally applicable, allowing ordinary candidates to draw inspiration and enter the best exam mindset. Top candidates are the most important role models for students. Every candidate, every parent, and every teacher can gain beneficial insights from the growth stories of top candidates. The author, Professor Wang Jisheng, a renowned psychologist and scholar, has long been engaged in research on students' mental health, exam psychology, and family education. His articles on college entrance exam mindset adjustment published in China Youth Daily have changed the lives of many candidates. After interviewing these 74 top candidates, Professor Wang discovered that although almost none of them anticipated becoming top candidates, one thing was certain: whether they entered the exam hall relaxed or nervous, they always adjusted their mindset to the most suitable level for full performance. For this reason, the purpose of this book is not to help candidates become top candidates but to help them master scientific learning methods, improve the efficiency of their college entrance exam preparation, regulate their mindset, go into battle lightly, enter the best exam mindset, fully leverage their learning capabilities, ensure normal performance, strive for exceptional performance, and use their youth to challenge the college entrance exam, writing an unforgettable chapter of hard work.
