暂时分手GMAT。。

伦敦牛仔

楼主老了不能跟你们年轻人比了，突然要两周冲刺GMAT，真的有点吃不消。。。没想到在IB工作五年，对冲工作三年之后，考试还是会紧张。
楼主本来背，轮到我考就变成15天换一次了，也没指望寂静，没想到还碰上了一道阅读，算是挺运气的了。
不过希望把自己记下来的东西来帮助在做的弟弟妹妹们。加油！
年龄大了，记忆力不如以前，大家凑或看吧

IR - 因为时间太紧完全裸考也不知道都啥体型，挺二的。
有一道题是说A coding 跟 B coding 的requirement 不同，A 需要所有的数字可以用一个单词的必须用一个单词写，eg（four）但是不能用两个单词的一定要用阿拉伯数字写。楼主点完next de button 才意识到fifteen can be written as one word!!!! anyways..... however, A has an exception: if the number is used to pertain an object, person, measurement, then if the first number chooses to write in numerate, then the rest follows.)

B requires to write all numbers in word or numerate, but the exception is number to counter person needs to be in words.

Sorry I can not remember exactly now because I have to be in work straight after this. But the general idear is something like this. no need to read the context which is rather confusing. Just straight go to the exceptions and pay attention to what can be written as numberate and what can not be for both things.

The question is to ask you pick out one answer that only comply with rule A and one answer only complies with Rule B.

Another question is a charity fund has two source of main income A and B, one covers 42% and the other 45% of the total income. there is another pie chart which shows you the Expense of the company.

The key information here is both Income has to cover two distinct expenses. (Here I was confused) does the question means they have to cover two distinct area of expense individually but one area they can overlap? or the question  actually means they have to cover different aspects of the expense?

please pay attention to this. the question most like agree with my first understanding and i remember both i selected (expense type: salary)

1: which expense type must be covered by both source of income.

2: can't remember....

another question is a table which summarise 4 different type of sales across 4month and the questions are pretty easy.

Math: nothing from JIJING comes up in my cases but I just checked earlier the one i can remember are all the questions from 90-98.

verbal:

SC: Very difficult in my opinion, alot full sentence underline. definately tested verb tense, singular/plural, parallelism and noun-modifiers.

CR: Can't remember much. but one i can remember was in the RC jijing. Identity theft. Two paragraphs.

Government: Identity theft was a big problem bla bla, but since the most recent research shows that 2 million less than before, so it is no longer an issue anymore. people no need to worry.

Martin: (pretty sure about the name) No. The research are funded by financial institutions which may cause their research find flaw. Identity theft is still a problem.

the answers are all very confusiong. the question asked what did martin do to attack government's conclusion that identity theft is no longer an issue and what is wrong with his comment.

I chose A: He incorrectly used the "Insufficient vality of evidence quated by government" and used as his foundation to make conclusion.

My understanding are the following: there is only one piece of evidence used by Gov, and he questioned the evidence.

The is another choice i think is a trap ( E: He failed to assume government didn't understand the financial insitituitions influence on research or something)

RC: Four, but i can only remember three. i will only list out the ones not covered in Ji Jing or incomplete.

1: PERT phenomenon. During a period of earth formation, there is a period during which the earth was much warmer than today. Scientist has long been looking for the cause. First hypothesis is that it was caused by oceanic structure change which released abnormal about of CO2, however, this hypothesis was rejected due to its lack of ability to explain the speed of the change (means the temprature change was dramatic), second hypothesis was the comet collision which can also realse large amount of carbornhydrate. But this was also prove wrong. Because if it was indeed casued by collision, there will be some piece of rock left on earth, but they find nothing.

The second paragraph (Author's main point) the promisiong explaination is that this might not caused by CO2 at all but by Methane. There was a large amount of liquified or solid abuntants of Methane in the ocean. In warm temprature, they can be released in a much faster speed than CO2 into the atomphere and causing bigger warming impact. then author sited an example to emphasis on this possible explaination.

there is a question on which of the following author agrees with CO2's involvement in this warming event.

i selected it increased the temprature first then caused large amount of release of Methane from the ocean which caused the thing eventually.

there are  two other questions one general, one details. the general one is answer choices can be very confusing, be careful.

2: ear one which coverred pretty well in Ji jing, even the questions.

3: Why staff are leaving the firm. socialoligists have been studying what caused the staff trition level in corporate. One concept gained vast acception is the companies embededness which covers three aspects: 1 company provides them networking platform which might provide the oppotunity to be approached by other job oppotunities. 2: their connections and activities with the local community. 3: some other training and knowledge bla bla. In general this theory says company itself caused people come and go...

Second paragragh (author's main point is coming): yes the above theory is right, but they failed to take into consideration of these below factors. He call them indirect embededness...... (for me, this is bullshit) he give two example of indirect embededness, which i think they are very similar of the three above. (I dont have a 文科 background, so i was confused lol)

the first question is which of the following is not author would agree to be caused by embededness. choices are: Traveling, Community acitivies, industry conference. The one i choose is take to two salesman which is the odd one for me.

the other two are equally difficult, they are all focus on this difference between direct embededness and indirect embedness. Please please pay attention to the last paragraph. all question are come from here. the article is very short but question are not easy.

4: last one sorry, i am too old for the this stupid exam!!

wish you all the best. any questions let me know

构筑的记忆力我只能说你是不是作弊了

伦敦牛仔

哈哈，你这是夸我呢，还是骂我呢？

我又会想起了一道题，感觉挺神奇的，跟大家分享一下：

CR: The crime rate decreased in City X during past 12 month from X% to Y%, therefore the Car theft rate must be reduced during past year. This might be due heavily used immobilizers and security devices.

Q: What of the below will help enhance the above explanation.

the choice i select is: Car theft is found to be predominantly exists in other crimes.

my reasoning is: if car crime is not involved in other circumstances, then the author can not conclude that if the overall crime rate decrease, the car crime rate has to decrease.

But this could well be wrong tho.

I will post more if i can remember anything else.

感谢构筑，我从上爬到下，没有看到作文，能麻烦狗主回想下作文的题目吗？谢谢！

Alexisssss

感谢构筑 太棒了

我也没有看到数学寂静。。。请问楼主是这样的嘛

伦敦牛仔

不好意思，时差的问题，现在才能给大家恢复。请见谅！

数学没有什么特别记得住的，记住的几个都在寂静的60-98题里面了，而且我的答案跟寂静都一样所以不想重复浪费大家时间。我遇到了四条线平行的题，还有五对couple座位的，但不是圆桌，是in a row， 我的做法是10*1*8*1*6*1*4*1*2*1。或者可以吧每对couple看成整体，然后5的阶乘，因为每个couple又有两种做法，然后再乘上2的五次方。还有一道题寂静上面的日期不对，原体是October 21 is a friday and also 294th day of the year with 365 days. which day of the week will it be for the last day of the year? 我的做法是（365-294）/7，remainder + friday = saturday。

作文的题目是：People are debating with stable office job with self employed or work from home. The later has disadvantages from many aspects. People working from home are potentially suffering more disctractions from personal phone calls, children, and even noisy neighbours. Additionally, people who work from home are not as socially connected as people who work in corporate. Therefore, people who choose to stable office job will in the long run earn more than self employed or people work from home.

对了这个topic，我不光碰到了作文，还有RC，还有一道CR！！所以我觉得这里面可能有联系。但因为我是第一次考，也是臆测而已不足为据。

CR： People change their job in the industry is becoming an issue for corporate. This is because regular staff turnover will increase the staff training cost for corporate. to stop this, some company use soft barriers to reduce employee's incentive to leave and others use more punishing method by put penalties for new hired staff or key members. However, company should be careful as many staff left their company to join their suppliers, customers or other business partners which can benefit the company.

the question is which of the below will the author mostly agree or can be inferred something like this.

My choice was: company should be using both soft method and hard method to reduce the staff turn over rather than using one. I dont think this is perfect, but the others are very irrelevant.

Hope this helps!
