This time it’s really tragic
Thread Content
To be honest, this year’s case questions were relatively simple, at about the difficulty level of 1213; they covered less content related to reaction kinetics and thermodynamics, and there were no particularly complex calculations involved. But... (but this is usually important) the calculations aren’t particularly simple either; it takes me 10–15 minutes to solve each problem. If it takes longer than 15 minutes, I don’t dare to continue. Everyone can understand this: at first glance, the problems seem doable, but once you start calculating, it takes more time than expected, which makes things increasingly difficult... For the first problem in the morning, I spent 20 minutes on it... For the first problem in the afternoon, I spent 15 minutes with no result... (In the last five minutes, when I saw that it was related to the specific heat of sodium chloride, I lost confidence and had nowhere left to write anymore.) It’s painful... To be honest, the difficulty of these exam questions might not be as high as that of the postgraduate entrance exams, but the process of solving them isn’t as smooth as doing exercises at school Normally, I set high goals but am not good at achieving them; when I see that I can solve a problem, I think it’s a waste of time to do the calculations, so I prefer to work on more problems. But during actual exams, my weaknesses become apparent – I make frequent mistakes in calculations, find them too complicated, develop resistance toward them, and don’t trust the results; I get annoyed as soon as I see many numbers... Ah, I’ve missed out on great opportunities. I read quite a lot this year, and I understood the content quite well; it’s a shame... How about everyone else? Feel free to complain!
I agree; the cases are simpler than in 2014
Well, it is indeed simpler than level 14, but it’s a bit more difficult than levels 12 and 13. It mainly depends on whether effort has been put in over time. The difficulty this year probably isn’t a problem if people study diligently for about two months; but the key question is why it’s always the busiest period in July and August+_+ If one is lucky enough to get through this year, they still have to face it again next year
Get ready well next year~ Do more practice problems, otherwise you’ll lose your skills! I’m not sure if this year is particularly difficult; the one I participated in in 2014 seemed more difficult than the previous years
It can’t be simpler than 12 years, right? Those 12 years were all about inflation
For the first question, the answer I got doesn’t match the correct one Which one should I choose?
I thought the answer was wrong; I chose B, which was the first question in the afternoon session for this year’s case study
It seems I got the first question wrong.]
Easier than 2014, harder than 2012 and 2013
It is indeed much simpler than in 2014. And in the afternoon cases, one or two key concepts were asked again and again – it’s unbelievable.
