答题技巧
1.题目不会答怎么办?
因为学校也没指望学生真的能答出来。面试官看中的是思考问题的过程,即逻辑和思维,运用已有知识的能力,和遇到困难时的反应。所以千万不要紧张到说不出话,有任何想法,或者问题都可以说出来,也可以在草稿纸上写写画画。记住,过程才是最重要的。
2. 题目答错了怎么办?
可以说“Oh - sorry - I take that back…”或者“perhaps this might be a better way to think about it...”出错再改正是很正常的思维过程,这时只用把正确的重新说一遍即可。
3. 结束时需要问问题吗?
结束时没有必须要问一个问题,如果面试官问学生还有没有什么问题,其实这一部分已经不属于面试了。
4.答题时应该带什么?
面试邀请函中会写明面试要带的文件
带上申请时提交的personal statement和written work、手机(方便学院联系你),还可以带一本近期阅读的书籍。
