以下是引用ziyi在2004-4-11 7:23:00的发言:http://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=4274 Q: Two or three DS problems that were really tough, and one rate problem that took me (no exaggeration) ten minutes. The rate problem gave a comparison of the two rates of two machines not in a ratio, but as a constant with another constant. I won't reproduce the problem because I don't want my score to be invalidated, but it was a bitch. No backsolving was obvious, so I pissed away a lot of time. The really hard DS problem may or may not be posted under a pseudonym in a few weeks. So pay attention! Hardly any geometry to speak of, one C/P/stats problem, nothing difficult to speak of in the more "advanced" parts of the test outside of number theory.
大概每个人都是这么想所以他们没有JJ吧!
Got the surprise of my life yesterday when I saw 500 come up on the screen. 30q, 30v.
I studied my butt off for a month, and casually studied for a month before that, I am very disappointed, heartbroken if you will.
One variable is that I got laid off on thursday, and took the test saturday. I wasn't necessarily in the best frame of mind, as the layoff was completely out of the blue.
I wasn't as disappointed with the verbal as I was the quantitative. I studied Princeton book and took two Powerprep tests. First test after studying casually for a month I got a 560 but don't remember the individual scores. Took the second test a week ago and got a 570 with I think a 38q and 31v. I am not trying to get into Wharton or Harvard, just PSU's MBA or iMBA program, so a 570-600 will suffice.
So I went from a 38q to a 30q on the real test, and lost one point on verbal. I studied so hard on the math, and am completely dumbfounded as to how I did so poorly. Part of the reason was the first few math questions were a lot tougher than the first few on the PP test. For example, as the 2nd or 3rd question, I got one that I just stared at and had no idea.
(360^2)^3. So basically 360 to the 5th power. Answers were like
A.(2^5)(3^6)(5^8) B.(2^8)(3^7)(4^5) C.(2^7)(3^3)(5^6)
Answers like that. How do I possibly break down that question? That was nowhere to be found in my study materials.
Needless to say, I need to take the test again. 500 is unacceptable. How do I study differently?
Thanks for reading such a long post,
