路遥遥北美一战770 (Q50 V45)

kelvinchufei

6月11号，北美考场，一战770 (Q50 V45), 作文分数目前还不知道

背景介绍： 我比这里的ddmm们要稍大些，很久以前考过GRE，在美国已经念了一个工科硕士学位，工作了几年，现在准备上个part-time MBA,所以来考gmat

CD对于我的帮助还是很大的，所以也想回报一下大家，说说自己的感受

1. 复习材料 / 复习投入时间 (按比例多少排序）

由于白天要上班，所以我的复习材料比较精简

作文(30%)：孙远作文宝典， 800SCORE_AWA， 范文178篇，写过10几篇AA, 10几篇AI， 但列过60多个AI题的提纲

语法改错(20%)：PREP 语法笔记08版 （没看07版，个人觉得08版一套仔细做一遍收获就很大了）

套题(20%): 前期做过GWD 1~5, 平均错8个，最后临考做了GWD 19~22，其中19～21都应该是满分（错了2～3个），（不是在炫耀，而是想告诉大家，模考用GWD的这几套应该是可以的）

综合指南 (10%): OG12过了一遍

数学(10%)：狒狒数学宝典，GMAT数学术语

逻辑 (0~5%)： 没有专门复习

阅读  (0~5%)： 没有专门复习

2. 机经及使用

首先报机经：

AA：Oak City Shopping Mall （参见陆三起的AA作文列表No 7）大力推荐复习本月和上月的机经，其实重复率还是很高的。

AI：Competitive Educational System （参见陆三起的AI作文列表No 1）大力推荐复习本月和上月的机经，其实重复率还是很高的。

数学：题目真记不得了，不过感觉大约有1/3是在现有机经里出现过的  （参见陆三起的鼠穴机经）

语法：这个机经貌似没什么用

阅读：我没有实现看机经，看了感觉很混乱，还是老老实实做题

我记得考了这么2篇

(1) Low cost firms tend to use collateral to avoid paying loan assessment fees to banks, indirectly avoiding subsidizing high cost forms on those fees.
这是我根据段落大意组合而成编的句子，逻辑上是正确的。

参见”陆三起悦毒机经“ 1.2.5 企业贷款

(2) Copyright

参见”陆三起悦毒机经“ 1.1.2 copyright

剩下2个阅读记不住了，实在对不起

逻辑：我没有看机经

3. 其他

祝大家好运，欢迎提问！

最后我发个我的作文模板吧，不过我还没拿到作文分数，说不定4分啥的，大家不要笑我。


Issue:

What is ....? / How is ...? Some people believe that... / The arguer claims/asserts that .... (1) In my opinion, it is true that ..., but it is imprudent to assert that ... (2) While I admit that ..., I maintan/think that the complex nature of this issue requires one to examine it case-by-case.(3) I totally agree with the arguer because we don't need to look very far to see the validity of this argument.

In the first place, ....  The most well-known example is perhaps ... Under this type of circumstances, it is evident that….

In the second place, .... For example, ...

Admittedly, .... However, we should notice that ...

In summary, I agree with the arguer that ... / I agree with reservation that / I do not agree that ...



Argument:

(In this proposal/argument,) The author proposes/claims that ... The author's line of reasoning is that... (The author also points out that ... )The conclusion may sound appealing at first glance, but upon closer examination, we will find the argument does not hold up to logic reasoning and it suffers from two critical flaws.

First of all, the conclusion is based on an unwarranted assumption that....  However, no evidence is provided to support this assumption. For instance, it is likely that…; it is also likely that…. Any of these scenarios, if true, would seriously weaken the conclusion. Therefore, the argument is groundless without excluding such possibilities.

Second, the argument commits a fallacy of "after this therefore because of this"/"all things are equal"/"faulty analogy"/"hasty generalization"/"biased sampling"/"either-or thinking".  

1)The mere fact that A preceded B is not sufficient to conclude that there is a cause-effect relationship between the two events. In fact, the author obviously neglected other possible contributing factors such as…… Without ruling out other possible causes and having compelling evidences to demonstrate the direct causal connection, the author's recommendation is not worthy of consideration.

2) The author assumes without justification that all things are equal, and that the background conditions have remained the same at different times / locations. However, it is not necessarily the case. As a matter of fact, it is quite likely that... So the conclusions drawn from old times are not applicable to the current situation.

3)The author assumes without justification that A is similar to B in all aspects. However, the differences between A and B could apparently outweight their similarities. For example, A…,however, B…. So the facts drawn from A are not applicable to B, thus making the analogy faulty.

4) Only one example is logically insufficient to reach generalization, unless the arguer can show that A is representative of all As. Actually, A could just be a special case in the sense that .... So the arguer's generalization based on this example is unreliable.

5) The author's argument is heavily based on a previously conducted survey. However, there is no elaboration to indicate where, when, how and by whom the survey was conducted. Nor does the author give any critical information about the size of samples and how the samples were selected. It is totally possible that….. Unless all these questions can be answered, the survey per se does not lend strong support to the conclusion.

6) The author decides that A and B are mutually exclusive approaches without providing any reason for imposing that either-or choice. However, common sense and life experiences tell us that the two work better when joined together.

Last but not least, the author fails to provide the necessary information about ... / There is no thorough cost-benefit analysis in the argument. If the increase of cost overweighs that of benefits, …will fall in trouble of losing rather than gaining money. Also, the author neglects contingencies such as labor and material costs, legislative moves, competition, market changes, and the national or international economic cycle , all of which can lead to the dropping profit. Lacking these information, it is difficult to assess ...

In summary, the argument is not fully compelling as it stands. To strengthen the argument, the author would have to provide evidence that ... To better evaluation the conclusion, we would also need information about ...

谢谢LZ我是北美24号一战~想问问LZ感觉语法是什么难度哈？还有逻辑呢？听说逻辑实战里比较难？

kelvinchufei

语法难度和GWD基本一致，可能有2～3个难题需要想一会儿，但是应该也能答对

逻辑难度我不好说，因为我和大家的感觉不是很一样，逻辑貌似没啥复杂的。。。大致来说，比GWD稍简单一些
