How to Pass the Pretest of Postgraduate EntranceExamination? Using the Postgraduate Psychology Entrance Examination for Example

Abstract  Nowadays, the Postgraduate Entrance Examination (PEE) is becoming popular more and more and has become a hot social issue. There are two stages in the PEE: pretest and retest. Mostcandidates are eliminated in the pretest. Thus, how to get a favorable score inthe pretest is worth studying. This article used the Postgraduate Psychology Entrance Examination (PPEE) for example to study the issue. 53 essays which talked about preparing for the PPEE are selected from a PEE forum. At first, the literature analysis method of phenomenology was employed, and thus 29 key words from the essays were extracted. These key words involved keeping positive mental attitude, persistence, study plan, paying attention to authentic examination items, and so on. Then, exploratory factor analysis was employed, and 7 key factorsin preparing for the PPEE were obtained: learning ability, self management, methods and techniques, with the help of others, time management, tailoring self to choose university, and attitude management. Each key factor was explained in the article. According to the results, if a candidate could improve his/her learning ability, self management ability, time management ability and mental attitude management ability, master appropriate methods and techniques, tailor himself/herself to choose university, and make good use of the power of others rather than fight a lone battle behind closed doors, he/she would get a favorable score in the pretest. Whether to take part in a remedial class or not, and what his/her own major is, both the two were not important. This research was the first time to explore the key factors in preparing for the PEE by statistic method. The conclusions could be guides for the candidates of the PPEE and other majors.

关于“如何才能通过考研初试”的研究——以心理学统考为例

笔为剑  

摘要  近年来，研究生入学考试的热潮不断加剧。研究生入学考试分为初试和复试两大环节，其中绝大部分考生在初试中就被淘汰。因此，考生怎样才能在初试中获得好成绩，就成为值得关注的话题。本文以心理学统考为例，对考研初试进行了研究。从某考研论坛的心理学版里选取了53篇近年发布的考研经验教训类文章，先用现象学的文献研究法，从中提取了29个关键词语，其中包括良好心态、坚持、学习计划、重视真题等。随后，用探索性因子分析，得出了在心理学统考初试备考中最重要的7个因子为：学习能力、自我管理、方法技巧、借力、时间管理、量身择校和心态管理。对每个因子的解释都在文中列出。根据研究结果，考生如果能在备考过程中，提高自己的学习能力、自我管理能力、时间管理能力和心态管理能力，掌握恰当的复习方法和技巧，量身择校，善于借助他人力量而不是孤军奋战，将会在初试中取得理想的成绩。而许多考生所关注的报辅导班以及是否跨专业等因素，对初试影响不大。本研究是第一次采用统计学的方法探索考研备考的影响因素，研究结论对于考生备战心理学考研有指导意义，并对其他专业的备考也有参考价值。

你如果有相关领域的英文文献，平时留意总结下他们的introduction部分的相关的句子套着改下 应该会好很多 这样这个应该不是很麻烦的

如果用四个字形容这篇摘要。。那真是。。不忍直视啊。。。

说这些没太大用啊。关键是怎么改

弱弱的问一句，这样的论文有什么学术价值么？

Pretest 用来描述初试是不恰当的。
这个词有动词和名词两种用法。其中动词是：to test (something) before presenting it to its intended public or client .
也就是说这个词相当于是“内测”，或者“预备测验”的意思。从重要性上来说，这个词内在含义是说这个测试是relatively not so important
但是，对于考研的初试和复试，两者都是正式（formal）测验的一部分。从重要性来说，起码是和复试平等的。
我认为初试应该翻译“written part of Postgraduate Entrance Examination”或者“ First part of PEE”

我弱弱地说一句 英文摘要好像不这么写。。。这是摘要么
