Last two years this season, I was putting my best leg forward to prepare for the graduation permission exam in January 2006, which was a fight for me. The school I applied for is the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, which charges free for the students. However, because of that, there was a large amount of candidates applied for it, which meant that I had a lot of rivals. Therefore I compared the preparative of that exam as a fight, a fight with the other applier and also a fight with myself.

In order to achieve victory in that fight, I spent about half a year in the classroom and reading room for the course tested. There were four course I should prepare, the College Mathematics (including Calculus, Linear Algebra and Programming, Probability and Statistics), the Politics (including Marxist Political Economics, Marxist Philosophy, Introduction to Mao Zedong Thoughts, Introduction to Deng Xiaoping Theory and the Important Thought of Three Represents, Contemporary International Economy and Politics), College English, the Theory of Economics (including the Western Economics and the Political Economics), within which the College Mathematics brought the most pressure for me. It took me more than half of the time to do exercises for that college. Those days, I seldom got up later than 6 o’clock in the morning, and always went back to the dormitory later than 10 o’clock in the evening. You can image how hard I work for that exam.

As you are considered, everyone around me believed I would get a good result as well. However, the god played a joke with me. I was totally different on the day I attended the exam I prepared for half a year, for I suffered from insomnia last night and even didn’t get asleep for a minutes. The noisy near and in my dormitory and my nervosity completely disrupted me. So I entered the exam room in an extremely bad condition and I was so tired that even fallen asleep during those four two-hours. Therefore, the bad result of the exams is not surprise.

Several days ago, I determined to take part in the fight I was beaten two years ago. Comparing with the last time, two more things I have for the preparative, they are two pieces of advice: first, be in relaxed temple and make sure to go to asleep before 11 o’clock every evening; second, be clear about all the knowledge points.

It is the second fight and another challenge for me; hope I can be the winner.
