GMAT750分:考试复习材料、计划、作文模板提供
受Zeros大哥的委托,写一些GMAT的考试感想。
我申请的是美国的商学院PHD, 五月份接触GMAT,然后了解了考试的内容,NN的复习计划。本来打算报班,看大家发的文章,决定自己复习。
本人英语水平:考过托福和GRE, 成绩都是一般。从七月中旬开始正式复习,主要参见了那个四十天复习计划,制定考试时间是8月21日。由于时间比较紧,自己也比较弱,以640(51+23)+5。5结束战斗。因为本来就将第一次定为练习,所以早早定了9月22日的位子,但是老定不下心复习,事情也比较多,到9月10日的样子才开始认真复习,但自己觉得比第一次要好多了,还是有点把握的去考试,但是还是与第一次同样的考试成绩。很郁闷,因为申请时间也比较近了,所以打算放弃了,就这个分数去申请。之后受到GG的大大的支持,还有donny2005的鼓励,觉得再三战,由于背水一战,所以比较认真。上网买了21-30套的GWD题(现在还存了复印版,可以转让,^_^)。从11月5日开始复习,30日考试,750。
现在进入正题,说说复习计划和资料的使用。
1。复习资料
语法:如果是刚接触GMAT的同学,推荐白勇的书,好好做两遍,把每一个知识点都搞清楚。但是不能放弃OG,我就是二战才做的OG, 一战都没有碰,效果不好,对考点把握不准,因此,建议先做白勇,然后做OG,虽然有些重题,但是关键是看OG的解释。一个选项都必须搞清楚正确的原因,错误原因。这两本都做完就可以了,大全有时间就做,没有时间也可以放弃。题目不在多,是在精。
逻辑:推荐陈向东。不用把所有的题目都做完,就看看方法,有哪些逻辑错误。然后有个概念以后,开始做OG,个人觉得OG还是比较简单,需要有点难度就继续做陈向东把,尤其是LAST题和GMAT, 不推荐GRE题目,没有相关性。然后到后期,利用lawyer的分类,把所有的OG题目都过一遍,包括题目,没有选项错误原因分析,尤其是OG的解释。
阅读:推荐OG,其他没有找到合适的参考书。四片一个单元,规定时间做,然后分析。OG的重点在于解释,尤其是错误选项的解释,一定要不停的看,多看。非常重要,看的时候,首先自己归纳错误原因,然后再看它的解释,一开始有点非时间,但是慢慢就好了,到考试就会形成习惯,一看就知道哪一个是对的,哪几个为什么错。其实ETS就这么点水平,错误类型很单一的,大家多练习下就知道了。
数学:推荐GWD,然后就是机经了。我做了两套gwd,一般错4个,然后就是在考试前一天早上做数学机经,到中午做完,晚上睡前把所有的机经再过一遍,这个时候就是回顾大案的时候,能够记住的都记住大案,考试的时间会大大缩短。当然考试的时候也要认真看题目,ETS很狡猾,有时候会稍微变一下题目的。(顺便说下,不建议大家早早看机经,又记不住,又浪费时间,定复习计划的时候就直接把最后一天留出,专门看数学机经,verbal机经)
作文:我复习作文还是很认真的,大概一战就写了10多篇,有自己的模板,5。5分。这次作文分数还没有出来,等出来以后,我会把我的作文模板奉献出来,自己觉得还不错,废话都很有水平,哈哈。如果想5分以上,还是要多写点东西。可能写过gre作文,所以不觉得很累,有话写。我认为大家首先要写一个自己的模板,可以参考GRE的范文,我认为很不错的,而且由于最近参考这个的人很少,不会有雷同的出现。把它的好的句子揉到自己的模板中,形成自己放之四海而借准的模板。熟背模板,一定要根据模板,挑机经中的5,6个题目写下,限定时间,培养使用模板的感觉,以及例子使用的感觉。写作很郁闷的同学可以和我一样,就是三段论,固定下来。开头一段的废话,而且是每一个文章开头都如此,结尾也是,固定结尾。这样你考试的时候可以直接把开头,结尾都打上去,而且又块又不会出错。之后是中间的三段,不管什么作文,第一个理由段用明言,自己编,第二个一个例子或者一个场景,第三个理由段说反面如何好,但是还是要坚持自己的观点。每一次都这样,形成习惯,就好了。
复习时间和计划安排:
前期要做白勇,陈向东,Og的阅读,白勇的要做两遍,陈的做各个例题什么就可以了,OG阅读要认真做,我没有做补充材料不知道好不好,我觉得Og购了。第二阶段,做OG,把阅读,逻辑,语法都认真做一到两遍。
第三阶段把OG做归纳,很重要的阶段哦。也就是集中突破的阶段。
用菜鸟,或者自己归纳每一个语法题目。要注意每一个选项,都是怎么错的,什么知识点都要搞清楚。
用lawyer对OG的逻辑每一个考题进行总结,规类,一定要自己来,参考他人的有一定价值,但是自己总结才会发现适合自己的分类哦。
用小安对OG阅读进行总结,形成套路感觉。
第四阶段:做GWD,每天一套或者两套,做完一定要上CD看讨论,对每一个题目都要有总结,错误在哪里。
集中突破我是这么来做的,
分类来说,语法要找到错误点,每一个选项的错误点。而且要形成自己的做题思路,一看到题是现看主胃一致,找代词错误,然后动词错误,搭配错误,时态等等,形成自己的思路,这样看到满评的题目也不要着急了,高分还是很多全画线的题目的。
阅读一定把所有的题目进行定位,而且不是找到正确就可以了,一定分析错误的为什么错误,找到错误原因,这个时候你看OG的解释的作用就体现了,你就如OG解释一样对GWD的题目进行分析,想象你是写解释的人拉。然后要分析你自己作错的原因,总结容易做错的体新。如果是infer,信息题说明要注意细节,如果是主题题目错了,说明自己对套路还是不熟悉,要抓住文章套路。
逻辑把每一个题目都分析清楚,尤其是正确大案是什么类型,可以参考lawyer的结题方法,分析的很清楚,你会发现就这么几个考点。比如来说要削弱,你就要找是不是他因,是不是因果倒置,是不是两者没有本质区别等等,把每一个题目都找出对应的分类,总结。
最后就是如OG集中突破一样,把GWD的所有题目进行总结,你这时候会有一个飞跃,总结完了,要留几天看看自己总结的东西,OG的,GWD的总结笔记,然后就可以去考试了,一定没有问题了。
关于GWD
当成模考,不要有依赖心理,不要寄希望考试的时候遇到原题。
关于机经:
数学是很有用的,非常有用,数学每一个题目都要认真做,而且我觉得不要提前做,就是考试前一天做就可以,这样有些题目做完以后,直接就把大案都记得了,很方便的。
语法,基本没有用,就把提到的GWd的题目去找到看下就可以了。
逻辑有用,但是要自己把握大案的正确性,不要在考试时候遇到盲目选他人的答案
阅读:如果有选项,选项大案,文章结构,套路,细节的机经是有用的,其他的建议连看都不要看了,没有任何用,反而还会有反面作用,我有体会的。
作文就是找一些长考的题目写下就可以了
考试注意:
如果不喜欢喝红牛什么的,千万不要为了考试而直接喝,一定要按照自己的作息,吃饭习惯来做哦,比如本来早上就不喜欢吃东西的,你可以在饿的时候吃点小东西,不好很早就吃的包包的,结果自己还难受。
考试的时候不要猜分数,就是说每一个题目都要认真做,不要想:哦,出现长画线了,我在高分区了;哦,只有一个单词画线,完了,考砸了的想法,你都不知道ETS是如何确定难一的,不要多想,每一个题目都认真做就可以了。我考试就是有些只有一个,两个画线的,而且最关键的如果不遇到黑体也不要郁闷,根本不表示你不在高分区,我就一个都没有遇到。前两次考试暴烂都是两个黑体,一点用都没有。所以遇到黑体也不要心情起伏很大,就当一般的题目做就可以了。
考试的时候一定要放松,前两次我都很紧张,自己也很累,三次的时候最后一天都没有怎么复习了,放放松,看看小电影什么的,不要太紧张。我记得donny和我说过,你的成绩在考试前几天都定了,考前就需要放松,根本不要想考试前一天看的能加上50分。我觉得很道理,这个考试是个体力活,大家放松去应对。能够遇到机经,GWD最好,与不到也不要郁闷,相信自己的实力!。
罗罗嗦嗦写了很多,希望有点用处。祝大家考试成功!
附:作文模板(5.5分版本)
昨天刚收到这次考试的作文分数,不是很理想,4.5, 由于没有怎么复习作文,所以这个分数也能够接受了。
下面是我两次考试的作文模板,希望给大家的写作有所帮助。
issue模板一:
由于所有的题目其实都可以有两方面,所以针对不同的题目都准备它的一个好点、一个坏点,则搞定了。模板的字数就有400多了,那这个上5分的issue没有问题,条理很清楚的。大家用的时候把一些词语、句子都改下。
_把题目复述一下________________? To some extent, I agree with the speaker’s general assertion--on the basis of _________--that__________ if *** (give the condition under which we can support the author’s idea). However, the speaker unnecessarily extends this broad assertion to an irreversible extreme while overlooks certain compelling factors impacting this issue. On balance, My points of agreement and contention with the speaker involve the fundamental and deep analysis, as discussed below.
On the one hand, it is sagacious to admit that this statement, although suffers from some obvious drawbacks, possesses some merits primarily in some special cases in which the implicit rationale behind it accords with common sense and our everyday experience as human beings, hence, is partially indisputable. After all, in this era of social and technological changes leading to increasing progress, (you may point that the condition is possible to occur here) __________________________________.One could effortlessly imagine the scenario, in which ___________________ Accordingly, I tend to concede that when it comes to some certain circumstances it is partially appropriate.
On the other hand, recognizing that a more applicable choice must incorporate aspects of the issue as sufficient as possible, I have to point out my contention with the speaker who, while overstating______’s comparative significance, does not take into account some paramount essential factors, at which thoughtless people casually take a fresh look. Surging out nowadays, the phenomena, in which________, firmly construe the fact that________. Moreover, ___________.For instance, _____________. I remembered the words the head of my university once said( and I paraphrase )that,. AAA is one of the key words of our times, A man without AAA, may of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of advance circumstance, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. All the compelling evidence above demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt that_____.
Coincidentally, a general investigation has been conducted by _____ institute in my university recently, discovering that_____________,. So, it is, at least ostensibly, to bolster the view that_______.(75% respondents tend to agree on the point that ________ . )Thus, my claim is not a mere appeal but a fact verified by statistics.
In conclusion, issue of ____________is a complex one, requiring subjective judgment, consequently, there are no easy or certain answers. So different are the personal experience, and emotional concern among people with diverse culture that thousand individuals might possess thousand opinions towards this issue. In the final analysis, according to me, ________________.
issue模板
如果你不确定理由点,比如不确定是什么逻辑错误,你都可以直接只用以下的模板套,非常管用。
如果你可以确定其逻辑错误,就使用我后面列出来的逻辑错误模板。
模板中的词语都是经过斟酌后确定的,都是一些闪光词语哦!
In this argument, the author relies on certain anecdotal evidence about______________, as well as the unreliable statistics (comparison) about the general trends among________, to convince us of the conclusion that________. This argument---- appears to be reasonable at first glance-----suffers some critical flaws that seriously undermine the conclusion after close scrutiny of evidence, and accordingly is not thoroughly well-reasoned. The main flaws of the argument would be discussed respectively.
In the first place, the argument is fraught with vague and unwarranted assumption that________--rather than some phenomenon—was responsible for __________. In fact, more discreet inspection would reveal (disclose) that other factors far overweigh the factor which the author heeds. For example, _________. For that matter, ________is surely attribute to ________.It is also possible that_________. Hence, without weighing and then eliminating these and other possible causal explanations contributing to the long trend endorsed in the argument, the author could not solely attribute B to A while convincing us of the suspect conclusion.
In the second place, even if_____________________, the argument relies on an additional assumption—which render it unconvincing as it stands—that________. Offered in the argument, the only evidence is that________. Lacking the firm support, it might be the case that, If so, it turns out that____________. It may also possible that____. Since the author fails to account for this possibility, he or she could not convince us of the assertion that_________, let alone the groundless conclusion.
Finally, granted that the author justifies all the foregoing assumption, the conclusion remains to be doubtful since the arguer fails to consider alternative means available. The example of ______ cited, while meaningful of this trend, is insufficient to guarantee that _________ since the arguer does not offer any evidence to support that __________is suffice for_____, nor does he take into account other concerns motivating the conclusion. The common sense tells us that _____________. By the same token, it is possible that_____________. and the claim is completely unwarranted. Thus, in face of such limited anecdotal evidence, it is fallacious for the author to draw any conclusion at all.
In a word, this argument, while seems well-supported at first, has several flaws as discussed above. Hence it is unacceptable and of no persuasion as it stands. Yet, it could be substantiated by providing more solid evidence that____________. In addition, to further bolster the conclusion, the arguer should furnish the demonstration concerning_____________. Accordingly, only with more logical reasoning could this argument turn to be more than just an emotional appeal.
commits a fallacy of “hasty generalization”, which is the most egregious reasoning error in this argument.
样本调查类的argument
To begin with, the validity of the survey on which the argument relies on is doubtful in itself because this survey cited by the author is too vague to be informative. Turning first to the procedure of the survey, the arguer neither mention when and how the survey is conducted, nor does it indicate what the sample size is or how the sample is selected. Until these questions are answered, the result of this survey is worthless as evidence to support the conclusion. Turning second to the ambiguous statistics offered in the argument, the term \"75% of respondent\" is too vague to be meaningful even if by \"75% \" the arguer means \"nearly all \".Perhaps, people who are more interested than others in the survey might be more likely to complete and return their questionnaire--possibly because they find it more attractive. Lacking in the information about the ratio of number of respondents to the total number of the individual surveyed, it is impossible to assess the validity of the survey. For instance, if 1000 individual were surveyed but only 10 responded, the result should be highly suspect. Because the author fail to account for other possibilities such as this, the survey is useless in concluding that.  
样本时效性攻击
Last but not the least, it is necessary to point out another flaw that significantly undermines this argument that the author neglects to indicate the exact time on which the survey was virtually conducted. As we know, the historical changes would probably invalidate the generalization, so, the less recent the survey itself, the less reliable the results to demonstrate that. Unless the author mention how recently the survey was carried on,
差异概念攻击
To begin with, we must establish the meaning of the vague concept A. If the term were synonymous with B, the evidence cited would strongly support the argument. However, A may be defined in other terms such as C and D. Accordingly, the author has drawn the conclusion too hastily due to the ignorance of other definitions of A.
不随时间的变化攻击
In the first place, the author commits the fallacy of “all things are equal”, and unfairly assumes that A will remain unchanged over the next decades. However, absent evidence supports this inference-- the fact which happened ___years ago is neither a sound indicator reflect for the changing trend nor a good evidence to draw a conclusion offered in this argument. Lots of possibilities would undoubtedly cause the trend to fluctuate or even reverse. For example. Any of these scenario is true, serve to undermine this claim that________. On account of too limited evidence of the comparison, author could hardly convince us of the same background condition in different times, while assure us the suspect conclusion.
错误类比攻击 False Analogy
the argument relies on what might be a false analogy between A and B. In order for B to serve as the model that A should emulate, the author must assume that all the relevant circumstance involving ________are essentially the same between the two. Although A and B do share some similarities, yet, the difference between the two clearly outweigh the similarities, therefore making the analogy notably less than valid. For instance, For that matter, problems such these might cast unconquerable obstacles that prevent B form experience the same consequence though it adopt the strategies of B
互斥攻击
Last but not the least, the author unfairly assumes that us as readers must make an either-or choice between _____and ______. However, the arguer fails to provide any justification to guarantee that ____and _____ are indeed mutually exclusive alternatives and there is no room for another choice or a middle ground. Common sense () tells us that adjusting both aa and bb might produce better results. Moreover, more effective solutions such as__________would lead to ______, hence
前后或者同时
The author engaged in ‘after this, therefore, because of this’ reasoning. The line of this argument is that because A before B, the former directly caused the latter.
the argument bases on a known correlation between _____and ___ that the latter is the attributable, at least partly, to the former. However, a mere positive correlation alone amounts to scant evidence of the claimed causal relationship.
错误点分析:
demographic trend the rate at which workers can produce  the production process otherwise remain the same.  the ultimate result  sacrificing quality  reducing the size of the workforce numbers of the operating hours.
academic level of the teachers  research capability  graduation rate
