Features: Regarding on-the-spot examination experience or techniques, in my opinion, the most important thing is to have strong psychological qualities. After long-term preparation, a candidate's overall level will not change significantly in a short period of time. Whether they can achieve good results or even perform beyond their level depends largely on their on-the-spot performance. In the final stage before the exam, on one hand, candidates need to learn to regulate their psychological state, and on the other hand, they should develop the ability to adapt to the exam environment through practical simulation exercises. The questions can be difficult or easy, and those that can be answered correctly must be scored, while those that cannot be answered should be attempted to score as many points as possible, striving for the best outcome. It is absolutely crucial not to be overly concerned about minor setbacks, as this can affect the overall performance. In every practice test solution during the simulation exercises, candidates should learn to estimate the difficulties they might encounter in the actual exam. When fully prepared, they can remain calm under pressure. In actual exams, unexpected difficulties often arise, which can generally be divided into two types: one is non-technical factors, which are unrelated to knowledge level or the difficulty of the questions, such as misreading or skipping questions, or mistakes with exam materials. Although these are minor errors, they can lead to unforeseen consequences and should be thoroughly considered and strictly avoided before the exam. The other type is purely technical factors, such as encountering questions that seem impossible to answer or familiar but confusing questions. In such cases, the only thing candidates should do is remain calm and actively think of ways to tackle the problem, without panicking. In fact, the purpose of the exam already includes assessing a candidate's ability to handle difficulties, not just their knowledge level. In summary, those with high knowledge levels and strong problem-solving abilities will inevitably stand out. This book is a crystallization of wisdom and labor by numerous mathematics teachers and experts and professors from the original postgraduate entrance examination question-setting team, serving as a valuable resource. Each question in the book reflects the requirements of the postgraduate entrance examination mathematics syllabus for candidates' mathematical knowledge, abilities, and proficiency, while also embodying the guiding principles, basic rules, and trends of the question-setting process. Therefore, by analyzing and studying these questions in comparison with the exam syllabus, candidates can not only gain a comprehensive understanding of the mathematics exam since the postgraduate entrance examination was introduced but also conveniently access relevant questions and information. From this, they can identify patterns, summarize the key and challenging areas of each subject, and common question types. This further helps them grasp the characteristics of the exam, the question-setting approach, and the underlying logic, enabling them to face the exam with ease and achieve high scores.
