專業知識的準備
複試大多分為面試和筆試，一般都會涉及對專業知識的考查。對於這方面的準備，可提前瞭解所選專業或導師的研究方向，複習相關專業知識。此外，可請教學長學姐瞭解往年的考核內容，做到知己知彼。但不建議花費大量精力去死記硬背、考前突擊，因為複試很大程度上考查的是學生的平時積累和真正實力。
英語方面的準備
複試中的面試可能會涉及英語問題，或者通過英語筆試考查學生的英語能力。面試中的英語問題一般會涉及如下方面：
① 自我介紹，包括基本信息、對研究方向和導師的瞭解等；
② 介紹家鄉、自己最喜歡的東西等發散性話題；
③ 給定一段英文材料，朗讀並進行翻譯，或者在規定時間內整理摘要；
④ 根據你的英文分數，面試官也許會出其不意地與你進行英文對話。
下面給大家舉一個英文自我介紹的範例。
My name is XX, born in Hangzhou. I am supposed to get my undergraduate degree in school of XX, XX University majoring in XX. Mainly, my introduction shall cover three aspects.
First, when it comes to my study, it is through three years’ of hard work that I have built up a solid foundation of professional knowledge reflected not only by a decent ranking of 5% among 60 peers, but also by the fact that I take an active part in various contests ranging from English and mathematical modeling to physics. And luckily, my efforts in preparations for them also lead to some academic honors and awards. Say, these contests have expanded my knowledge, rather they have enhanced my comprehensive strength as well. Take mathematical modeling contest as an example. The contest usually lasts for three days. Two teammates and I must finish the work including data collecting, analyzing, modeling and paper writing. Since the time is limited and the work is fairly difficult and complex, we usually have to burn the night oil, thinking, programming and sometimes arguing .Such experiences taught me how to communicate and cooperate with others. Meanwhile, my skills of data analysis, modeling and paper writing have been significantly improved
Second, I will talk about my scientific research experience. When I was sophomore, I entered my supervisor’s laboratory to get myself scientifically prepared. Later I participated in a project of Jin Hua science and technology plan focusing on detecting out Sudan red in chili powder with a fast and accurate way. Besides I also participated in a research of the effect of kinetin on quality and harvest date of loquat fruit, and this research paper has been published. I was the second author. Moreover, I have participated in a research of soluble solids and pH detection of red bayberry juice, of which the research paper has already submitted to the journal of Food Engineering . All these experiences remind me that theoretical principles and practical methods are the key to research activities.
Third, I will briefly describe my social activities. I joined in the student union of my institute, and I have worked in the propaganda department. Although tasks are as simple and easy as editing newspaper, drawing posters, what makes a difference is that I can meet and deal with different people. In addition, I also one of those enthusiastic about volunteer activities, for I believe what Winston Churchill once said, we make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
The above is a simple introduction of my college life. As for myself, in my spare time, I like climbing and running. Also I am what they would call bookworm, for people around me know how much I love reading. I always hold that what I’ve learned these years is from enough to carry on dependent research thus am eager for more. XX has a high reputation in this field hence your consideration of my application makes huge difference, and I am confident that I am able to live up your expectations.
That's all I have to present for now, for more information, please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you.
此英文介紹範例適用於面試中時間較長且詳細的自我介紹，如果是與面試官面對面進行英文短對話，則不必如此冗長，借鑑個別字句和句型即可。

面試技巧及注意事項
1. 要有足夠的自信
不卑不亢、謙虛平和的心態對面試很重要。雖然在與眾多名校“大牛”競爭時，難免會有些底氣不足，但是當你接到參營或者複試的通知，就說明你已經通過了對方院校的初步審核，本身具備亮點和優勢，只需給自己更多的自信，就能使自己脫穎而出。
2. 誠實回答問題，切忌弄虛作假
在以往的面試中，有些學生為了能夠通過面試而誇大謊報自己的信息。然而，誠實的表現比完美的回答更加重要，不誠實的回答直接會讓自己失去機會。切忌投機取巧，不要抱著老師可能不瞭解你所學知識的僥倖心理，這樣的想法往往會給自己帶來糟糕的結果。這點對跨專業的學生也不例外。總之，你所需要做的就是踏踏實實準備所學專業知識，靈活應對，誠實回答。
3. 低調而不失自信，合理把握面試時機
表現得太過於強勢，可能也會招致老師的反感。當然，也不要過於內斂，那樣會顯得不夠自信。還需要注意的是，注意把握面試時間（一般為10—20分鐘），無需糾結於某個沒有回答好的問題。要儘可能地展現自己的優勢，在回答的時候把握主動，巧妙轉移自己不擅長的內容，儘可能多地發揮自己擅長的地方。
