You have to put your head down and start preparing.

1 First, consider the outline for the next year, which has been summarized earlier in our book and will not be repeated here. Many students have asked:

When will the 2013 outline be out? Will there be changes? We usually tell them not to be too entangled in the syllabus, this time is mainly based on the textbook, and when reading the book, the knowledge points of the exam should be noted in the book, so that it is convenient to review and grasp the key points in the future; The outline is generally released in July and September, and when the outline comes out, it will be compared with last year's outline to draw out the changed knowledge points.

Review is fine.

2 From May to August, the focus is on the textbook, read the book first, and make reading notes when reading the book, so that it is easy to read the book later.

Thin read thoroughly. Here there will be the question of how to choose textbooks, some schools will have designated textbooks, these are must be seen, so for those schools that do not have designated textbooks, we.

Corporate finance is an extension of investment, and it is very helpful to read relevant theoretical books in addition to the school's designated textbooks during the review process.

It is worth mentioning that in the whole process of studying professional courses, we cannot ignore the study of Western economics, although the postgraduate examination.

Including the four major banks, joint-stock commercial banks, city commercial banks, and domestic branches of foreign banks, they have stable incomes, little pressure, and high welfare levels, and the work of banks is often very attractive.

Compared with commercial banks, the nature of the work of policy banks is closer to that of civil servants, so they do not have great flexibility, and their financial business is not prominent, and they are places to eat by policy.
