Lyn的备考日记 550-570-640(拿到offer 不再考了 完结)

噜啦啦biu

今天看到有一位同学说学GMAT 就是勤奋+时间的堆砌 而且大神就是很厉害 他们的建议可以忽略了 因为大神就会说简单。 虽然我没在群里说话 ，而且他可能也有其他意思，但我自己觉得不该这么想，因为我走过太多太可怕的弯路了。
大神的建议是要听的，他们考700+ 绝非偶然，那些10几天就上750的大神，用时虽短，但并不是单纯因为智商，他们一定是知道GMAT到底考什么的，同时也知道出题者的思路，虽然每个人经历不同，我们学习知识的速度也不同，但是他们如何去把握思路，如何学习的才是我们应该关注的。而不是因为他们一句简单，就不取经，反而怪到智商差距上。最近更是有种感想，对于大神们，这些难题确实就是简单的，因为他们善于把一个个complicated question 转化为简单问题，在他们眼里，不过就是那点东西。你说阅读好难啊 ，NN想这有什么难的，拆啊，然后多练，正如baby姐说，难句子把他拆成一个个简单的不就好了。阅读慢，也拆啊，先抓句子主要含义，fancy words skim掉，然后读后面时，在用and，but等逻辑词串联。觉得没意思，但就不要揪着词语读啊，meaning-oriented 呀。
另外最近也觉得GMAT，不是时间的堆砌，而是思考的深入。我觉得思考比勤奋的做题刷题更加努力。
然后我就回忆起自己雅思的学习，真的很惭愧，我复习雅思 ，用了整整四个月，还是辞职状态，但我做了几套题？2套 这是别人两天就可以完成的量。我干嘛了，刷手机，看新闻，评论现在的热点，然后刷了我从小到大所有喜爱的电视剧以及动漫，看电视明星八卦，之后剩余时间用来懊悔，还告诉家长我学习呢？我除了浪费生命什么也没做？然后6.5，这个成绩也丢人，毕竟我是打着复习四个月的旗号，我一度自责于自己的无自制力。但现在我不想把自己浪费的四个月单纯归结到自己是没有自制力的，我觉得任何一个人天天在家里不出门，不与人交流恐怕都会憋疯吧，可我竟然憋了四个月，几乎要憋出抑郁，而且在自己一个人住的情况下，我现在觉得自己很能忍。
直到准备GMAT 第一次失败，我才明白，看问题要找本质。我之所以会陷入不停的玩以及懊悔，不是因为我是一个不求上进的人，我错在以下几点。1.不敢打破自己现有状态，以及comfort zone ,既然那样的学习不适合我，我干嘛不去和我爸爸妈妈住白天去图书馆呢，干嘛要逼自己呢 2.错在禁锢自己，不与他人交流，失去学习乐趣，learn with an aim to teach (这句话第一次在baby姐帖子见到，有一种恍然大悟的感觉)。3.不深入思考，单纯的width 会逐渐失去兴趣，而depth却可以触动我兴奋的点。而且时间也不是在宽度上有价值吧 ，而是越深入越有价值4.总把有用的当没用，比如前人的建议，与人交流的乐趣，以及停下来想想自己的问题。
所以接下来，我会更加注意depth ,努力的打破自己的comfort zone 。不断思考，思考，再思考 加油↖(^ω^)↗

第二周

7.10   OG SC 习题
7.11  数学题 40道 未改    心累  今天想休息了 先放空一天吧  7.12  
听ron的课 对口音不太熟悉 极慢无比啊
看心经 重新规划了sc学习 7.12  forgot
7.13   ron's lecture  (2  1-timer   2-parallelism)
         manhattan modifier (review)
         idioms (3组)7.14 15 这两天没做记录
主要就是把ron  2016年的3节sc课都听了  并且进行了整理 真的是大神  我超喜欢  
其中一天看一道题的解析 看了几个小时。。。还没看完 尴尬
最近有点理解 baby姐姐说的inside out是什么意思了  我以前看到and的反应是 咦 and是连词 要连接两个句子 然和在一个句子一个句子看 两边是不是完整  这种叫out-inside学习法  ;最近却不是这样了 ，我会主要看句子核心，把modifier在脑袋里框出去 之后自然在我脑袋里 就剩下个结构 比如 people,and......一下扔掉  同样类型的句子都是一眼可以看明白的  我不打算在记语法 这个是什么 怎么用了  我想多记些简单句子 像一道题 like A ,B......，我竟然没看出来，理解比我知道他叫什么更重要
另外ron一直在说sc是考察关系的 这点理解不太好~
但是最近没有弄数学啊  还有就是总玩手机 看来要远离手机 如果不远离 二战铁定还是分不了手的
7.16
唯一要求  远离手机 中午再用
听了一节RON 的课 还差一道题没听完 之后我就去逛论坛了。。。。逛论坛超用时间的，，，，










。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
昨天做SC 又慢还不会 内心受到万点暴击  但是仔细想了想 还是别放弃了  不过也看了很久的漫画哈哈

想调整下 决定把SC 第一阶段战线 拉长  第二阶段的做OG ,练分项恐怕要拖了 很多人都说SC是最占时间的

本周依旧处于第一阶段里  SC   目标
1.manhanttan 笔记整理  本身到C10了 但觉得自己整理的只是单纯的抽离条目 再看看其他人如何整理  
整理的意义本身就是能让我更好的理解  
2.RON神的课  
3.manhattan 就翻他之前讲的题目  按时间从近到远的翻找  
4.论坛baby姐讲解  
不论看什么都要先自己做，之后再看解析，大神的语录单独整理出来

数学每天安排两个小时 毕竟我上次考试才48啊 给国人丢脸  

越障 必做  想想怎么弄出节奏感怎么提速吧  

CR，RC 暂缓   
心经一定要读 不论是国外的还是国内的 帮我认清自己的情况也有帮助

楼主加油！！！！！挺不好意思的发现我俩状态不要太像，都是辞职备考而且一战过了。。。（并且Q也只有48T T ...

谢谢鼓励!！！这两天没有做记录~才看到~ 我们一定要加油 二战一定要到达理想分数！   
我当时考试成绩出来都快泪奔了 没想到会那么低  尤其verbal 竟然18分   baby姐的心经 真的太好 尤其她的sc部分  以及她提倡的阅读要meaning-oriented  ，我觉得超棒  ！

噜啦啦biu

Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only 4 million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.

A. about the same as Great Britain but only 4 million in population, where many
B. of about the same size as Great Britain is, But in laos there is a population of only 4 million, and many
C. that is about the same size as Great Britain’s land area, but in Laos with a population of only 4 million people, many of them
D. comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only 4 million in population, and many
E. comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only 4 million people, many of whom这个句子所要表达的meaning 及structure 是
laos has a land area about the same as GB
but
4 million in population
many are members of hill tribes (修饰 population或4 million)
关于他们之间的关系  has a land area about the same as GB 应当与4 million in population  是paralle but contrasting idea
many are members 这句话是修饰 ，并不是seperate ideas ,如果分开两句话，那么Nonsense
举例
RON devoured lunch ,cruching loudly and swallowing entire chunks of food 后面两个是devoured lunch 的decription
RON devoured lunch ,gulped down the drinks ,and fell asleep  这是三个独立的动作
B,D delete  后面的ｍａｎｙ　ｏｆ　ｗｈｏｍ　被当成　一个ｓｅｐｅｒａｔｅ　ｉｄｅａｓ　
A 虽然是修饰，但是用的where 不对
C不平行

根据original句，结合未划线部分理解整体的意思，之后其他的内容只要不符合这个结构就可以delete

噜啦啦biu

第三周开始啦  
不在制定鬼周计划了 我前两周也没完成过 还是稳扎稳打 啃我的SC吧  
我实在太慢了啊啊啊啊啊
7/17
整理了Manhattan SC 的 一个章节  还要在继续思考下
上午补了阅读小分队两个越障作业  最近看见越障就想吐  从7 点就盯着看 实在看不下去 然后就看看心经  之后就是在不想看中挣扎啊 不过最后还是写完了 就是效率低  而且 我文章要拆开好多部分进行回忆  我还是不能很好的  meaning-oriented
7/18  7/19  从昨天到今天 一直都在论坛刷 做一道sc 然后就是各大网站的找instructor的思路 解析    可想而知我是多慢了   每次都是得自动收手啊 否则一个挂一个 根本看不完   根本不知道何时可以开始CR的复习啊   7/20
verbal 模考 感觉没什么提升 模考完verbal 手残 点没了
明显感觉自己的阅读，提炼信息极差
越障训练  
7/21
休息了一上午  开始劳作~~
2017  OG 正确句子 （结合manhattan） 20个 过 SV agreement
prep sc  6道(2012)
cr GWD 课程 （感觉GWD有人说好 有人不好  先听听吧）
先做这些7.22
RON 15年的一节课课程
逛论坛  搜题   
7.23
1.调整了下学习思路 不打算在做OG题了  决定开始读OG 因为一轮备考的时候也做过   今天是分项过 sv agreement 过完了  ，句子结构这一部分，大概明天就可以过完  
2.复习manhattan  sentence structure 这个章节  觉得真的是很棒啊  关于sentence structure的考查 ，无非就是 ，句子是否完整，sv是否agreement ,以及句子关系~这一块其实也很是需要大局观的，不?于小细节，比如
plants ,more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon ,in the form of carbon dioxide ,and converting it to energy-rich sugars
虽然很长，但是看的时候脑子里应该是很简单的结构
plants.........and converting......?
这是什么鬼句子  根本就是fragment 所以delete其实之前看RON讲课 还有baby姐心经 发现他们看句子就很简化  但不是很理解  现在的感想是  是因为看句子不是一个词一个词看的 而是一块一块看的 比如这句话里plants,.....and 中间的....全部都是modifier 而我在看的sentence structure 所以他们就可以被我全部当成....
3.5篇OG阅读 只读 抽结构 简化信息  
4.越障训练
5.CR题目简化  (暂定5道 )

噜啦啦biu

分享给考友们一个帖子的内容。起因是一道题目。但是我找不到链接啦，找到补上来。重点在于RON 说的 。
Although she was considered among her contemporaries to be the better poet than her husband, later Elizabeth Barrett Browning was overshadowed by his success.

(A) Although she was considered among her contemporaries to be the better poet than her husband, later Elizabeth Barrett Browning was overshadowed by his success.
(B) Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning was considered among her contemporaries as a better poet than her husband, she was later overshadowed by his success.
(C) Later overshadowed by the success of her husband, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry had been considered among her contemporaries to be better than that of her husband.
(D) Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s success was later overshadowed by that of her husband, among her contemporaries she was considered the better poet.
(E) Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry was considered among her contemporaries as better than her husband, but her success was later overshadowed by his.
是这样的 一个NN mm说要咨询这道题，她觉得很complicated ,但另一位700 NN就说很简单 ，只需要通过consider 的用法就可以全部排除，然后mm 就放了一大段ron 关于这个的解释哈哈 。by  RON
i don't think there is any meaningful difference between "consider X Y" and "consider X to be Y". i can guarantee you right now that there will NEVER be a choice on which the ONLY "error" is the insertion of those two words "to be".
however, as emily noted above, the presence of those words can indeed be suspicious. therefore, if you see them, you should double down on your effort in scanning that particular choice for OTHER errors.
it's possible to formulate a sentence in which "consider X Y" produces an ambiguous meaning that would be rectified（改正） by the use of "consider X to be Y". in that case, the latter would be necessary.
It just like eliminating answer choices just because it has "being" and this is not always the case their are plenty of GMAT problems that has "being" in correct answer choice.

Eliminating an answer choice on the basis of idioms is a Juvenile technique. For me while learning our goal is to learn broadly applicable takeaways about the best ways to solve classes of problems, so that you have good ideas about how to think your way through the new problems that you'll see on the test.

Relying on Idioms is an outdated（旧时的） technique and misdirects us to just solve a question w/o taking so many take away's that are hidden in 5 options available. You must have seen people migrating from n # of questions banks to # of test preparing companies and they never improves. Any thing that is simple is not a learning.
BY MM
Following a simple path and avoid analysis and other takeaway might seems easy now, but will bear no fruit to us as a student. I am a 740 scorer, but I do not think that I am an expert, but I am a student who has so much to learn before moving to next test.（小姐姐 后言）

我才看留言呢！是的baby姐花了大功夫介绍的sc，我也制定了一些关于这方面的接下来计划，但是一战是败在了 ...

嗯嗯　Ｏ（∩＿∩）Ｏ谢谢Nichole～～互相督促！！！Nichole也加油！！！
ＲＣ确实是个老大难，主要速度一定得提上去，一般建议都是说一篇短文章３００－４００都得在两分钟左右解决，剩下题目一分钟一道。我前一段时间做ＲＣ，发现题目都出在文章的架构上，只要能理解清整个架构，就能做对题。但我还是太慢，提炼信息能力太弱了，就像薰衣草ＪＪ说的那样，基本是被牵着走，读了后面忘前面。你说的抓主干，这个确实有用！之前ｂａｂｙＪＪ　也说要把ｆａｎｃｙ　ｗｏｒｄｓ　等信息略读，有的时候一扫就知道什么意思。不过还是不熟练，练习过少～还是该多读。

突然发现换一种看问题的思路，问题真的会简单很多1.although  appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year—they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises—heirlooms are more flavorful and thus in increasing demand.A.
although appearing less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year
although appearing ....,tomatoes.........they are...
这个句子一?就是知道fragement  根本不用多想
B.
Although heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins
正确
C.
Although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins, heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year
在?里的框架应该是although they .......,tomatoes,......they are....一看这句子就是fragement 呀 delete
D.
Grown from seeds saved during the previous year, heirloom tomatoes appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins
......tomatoes appear less appetizing than XXX
tomatoes  are more flavour
这个呢 为什么会没有B好呢  因为这两句话前后逻辑是转折呀  这俩句子往这一摆 可什么关系都没体现 delete
而且直接就摆两句话  也是不允许的   在我眼里他依旧是fragment   
E.
Heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved during the previous year, although they appear less appetizing than most of their round and red supermarket cousins

tomatoes ,.......,althought they ....? 得 就此打住 这是什么鬼句子 fragement! delete!
至于以上有没有其他错误  我懒的管 ?  这道题光用sentence structure就可以排除干净了

2.  这道题很简单  但是照我以前的思路做题就是out-inside 得方法  ,看到连词and 就想着，and 是连词，两边要连接完整的两句话，然后开始找? 但实际上 换种思路  把结构抽象在脑子里  确实极为迅速的
Construction of the Roman Colosseum, which was officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater, began in A.D. 69, during the reign of Vespasian, was completed a decade later, during the reign of Titus, who opened the Colosseum with a one-hundred-day cycle of religious pageants, gladiatorial games, and spectacles.

第四周开始啦
7/24
sc
复习manhattan sc sentence structure
过完OG中 sentence structure 部分  接着昨天sv agreement RC
在过一遍 昨天看的5篇OG文章


7/25
SC
1.复习SC modifer 部分
2过了几道 manhattan 的modifier 感觉 modier 对我而言有些难 ，于是先过的comparison 和parallel  ,可能有漏掉的，但是就目前过的来看，大约有40道考察这两部分3.另外过了10道prep题 ，难度基本出在easy medium 区间 ， 时间都是1分多点 ，有一道很简单的题，忘记同位语结构了

Architects and stonemasons, huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya without benefit of the wheel or animal transport.

huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya without benefit of the wheel or animal transport

without the benefits of animal transport or the wheel, huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya

the Maya built huge palace and temple clusters without the benefit of animal transport or the wheel

there were built, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, huge palace and temple clusters by the Maya

were the Maya who, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, huge palace and temple clusters

architects and stonemasons 是同位语 ，建筑师和工匠，那么只有C符合，因为5个选项只有the maya 是人
呵呵哒 我也忘记自己咋想的   愣是没看出来    此题先放着  以前RN给出过的造的句子  如果找到 摆上来而且对于这个结构 我有点跟sentence structure 搞混  等搞明白立即补
4.RON 15年课程一节




7/26
嘻嘻 今天又玩小半天  没办法  有时候真的学习好枯燥啊  等我考完GMAT 再也不做宅女了！！！
SC
1.RON 神SC 课程一节
SC content
不知道能否过完  因为真心觉得modifer 有些复杂  暂时我也没总结出在考什么
先把其他几部分的理解写下
Sentence structure 无外乎考察以下几点：
1.s-v agreement ( s-v make tense ? s-v correspond in number ?)
2, sentence complete ( s-v  exist ?)
parrallelism /comparison
对比或者平行的部分是哪部分？
是否make sense ？（从语义逻辑来看）
具体做法就是从右边找，之后对应左边
2.mock sc  is better than before
RC is the most important thing to be improved

7/28
昨天真的什么都没做呀~~ 只觉得一定要远离负能量满格的人  因为我太容易被影响了
7/29SC
在prep上做了10道题，4道错误，待会看题，时间大概1分13秒
论坛上搜OG的题，整理，有点慢，主要放在Modifier 上
modifier 曼哈顿那章 火速过了一遍  然而 还是没什么感觉
