12.14 四站730 心经加鸡精 - 感谢CD

alexcy0228

这是第四次考了。 去年考了三次， 都是680. 灰心过，失落过。不过一直没有放弃。 今天看到屏幕的那一刻， 终于圆满了。 谢谢cd,陪我走过的日子。

先说数学鸡精 ，现在的鸡精已经很充足了。 虽然看到英文会有些不陌生，但是一旦你理解题目后发现和鸡精的题一样， 或者思路相同，算起来就很快。 数学拿了51


1. 补充194， there are two figures abcd, and dcba,  a,b,c,d are positve integers, but can be the same.  What's the greatest difference between abcd and dcba.  The answer is 8,712 (abcd = 9911 and cdba = 1199). 8642 is wrong choice


2. 补充203 . what is the unit digit of the figure P to the power (xy).
1.  the unit digit of figure P to the power x is 1
2. the unit digit of figure P to the power y is 1 (sorry, I dont know how to type)
The anwer is each is sufficient.


3. 补充105. same as JJ, the answer is 2x+1.


Then comes to the verbal JJ. Sorry that I can only remember RC.  verbal score is 38


RC
1.  JJ 34 - First reading is about trademark law in UK. The first paragraph mentions that there is no trademark law in UK before 1850.  the second para says that however, lacking a trademark law at that time does not mean there is no enforcement of trademark protection at that time. Then the author gives examples to support that, different industry have different application of trademark law, but towards a trend of enacting a unifying law of system. The third paragraph points out that the trademark law in UK at that time can not protect the goods sold in abroad which is made by UK merchants, as there are many counterfeit goods overseas, imitating UK's product


2. JJ39  middle-ear muscle . First paragragh introduces how middle-ear muscle works in human being ( Not the main point the topic) Second and third paragraph then explains how the middle-ear muscle can work as a noise-reduction device in human being, not only protect internal noice (such as baby crying), but also protects external louds


3. JJ44 commercial message in TV program  -  agree with V2.


4. JJ11 The last reading is about odder. 和鸡精里贴的阅读几乎完全一样。 我基本上就没再读，直接做题了。 那片阅读三道题大概3分钟就做完了， 才令我后面时间又追回来了的。 大家一定要好好读一下这些文字。 文中的铺排，意思和下面几乎100%一样。 摘录V5:考友tanqingye.  就是这些。 考试没这么多。但是意思全在下文了 。一点也不少。加粗是和考试文章完全一直。


TheU.S. Department of Agriculture lists dodderamong the country's 10 worst weeds.When a dodder seed sprouts, it doesn't growroots. All its energy goes into atendril that shoots out in search of plants totap for water and nutrients. Ifit's going to survive, it must latch on to avictim within about a week. Thevine grows into a spaghetti tangle and can attackmultiple plants, stuntingtheir growth but not killing them. Of the 150 species ofdodder,the researchers selected Cuscuta pentagona, says coauthor Justin Runyon,alsoof Penn State. This species bedevils tomato growers in California, whereitcosts them an estimated $4 million a year in reduced yields.

De Moraes' team and other researchers havestudiedthe volatile compounds released by plants that are mauled bycaterpillars orother pests. At first, the researchers set various possibletargets severalcentimeters from dodder sprouts. A pot of moist soil alonedidn't attract theseedlings, nor did vials of dyed water that created coloredlight.But a potwith a young tomato plant, and even a cup of perfume made oftomato volatiles,did attract the seedlings To minimize any confounding cues,such as shading orlight, the researchers then set the possible attractants inchambers connectedto the plant by curving pipes. Again, the seedlings grewtoward the scent. Testingvarious victim species, the researchers found thatdodder grows towardimpatiens and tomatoes.Wheat won't sustain dodder well, andgiven a choice,parasite seedlings shunned it and grew toward tomatoes.

When researchers tested seven ingredients inthetomato perfume individually, three of them proved attractive to the dodder.Oneof those attractants showed up in wheat, but the wheat perfume alsocontained asubstance that repelled the seedlings. Such a repellent might offera new routefor fighting dodder, Mescher speculates.  


最后补充一下作文


AA - JJ 30


“Localclothing stores reported that their profits decreased, on average, for thethree-month period between August 1 and October 31. Stores that sell productsfor the home reported that, on average, their profits increased during thissame period. Clearly, consumers are choosing to buy products for their homesinstead of clothing. To take advantage of this trend, we should reduce the sizeof our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and householdproducts departments.”

How effectively one learns in the classroom depends more on the quality of other students than on the quality of the teacher.




这次复习的重点放在练习GWD, 10天， 每天一套gwd, 然后用timer chaser 显示每题用的时间。 发现自己阅读和逻辑平均一题要用2；30秒， 一直致力练pace. 。 从一开始错21道，慢慢到了后面就错9到左右。 我觉得一方面是速度提上来了， 然后真题的考点更隐蔽，后来就开始习惯gmat的考点思维了 。  这得从平时就开始练。  我觉得pace和紧张感是最重要   这样才能上了考场心态能hold住
数学我是考前5天开始的。每天鸡精做50道。 鸡精做了两遍。 然后同时重复做practice test 1 去练英文的熟悉度。我数学一共练了三次prep, 一次46， 一次50， 最后一次就51了。我想找到那种51份的感觉很重要。


附上我最后阶段的总结。 前半部分是重点。 后半部分是阅读鸡精的归纳 和 AWA template（制作了20片） 。大家加油啊！

沙发加感谢，3KS！

恭喜恭喜，我12月29号，也希望和LZ一样好运，呵呵。。。对拉，问下LZ最后半个月主要做了些什么工作呢？

alexcy0228

一天一套GWD, 除了星期日放松一下， 拍个照什么的。 知道最后两天才停下来。 错不要紧 但要练就做题的感觉和紧张感和pace

最后十四天。 每天早上一套。 下午三个小时分类重温每一道题。 然后再重点突击弱项。最后十天 同时晚上或者下午4五点看数学鸡精和阅读鸡精。 我觉得鸡精里数学和阅读最有用。 我考的时候觉得罗技用不上。 作文也用不上。 AA练一下七宗罪足以对付考试了。

LZ前三次都是680还是很有实力的！恭喜破7！

恭喜楼主~

Congrats!!!

大葱~~~~~~~~对于GWD练pace....希望楼主讲多些。。
我今天连续练到第三天。。。。速度依然感觉不到提高，要命的是发现错题基本上都出在没时间想蒙的里头。。自己有时间静下心来做的正确率蛮高。。。我一直都是做题慢的孩纸。。。
十套就能把速度成功提上来嘛？、。。。哎 太虐心了！！！求指导！！！

Lsofian

谢谢LZ，这么快就回复拉。。LZ的复习好紧凑阿，可惜俺是在职，桑不起呀，估计考试前都没有什么整块的时间复习。。打算打酱油去拉。。不过话说回来，如果没有很多时间模考，看JJ会不会更有效些？

楼主，本人准备三战，你之前有做过GWD么？ 到现在GWD的正确率是多少？  我一战的时候一般错20个，二战的时候一般错14个，现在三战还有10天考了，一般错9个，想问下这跟记得题目有关系么？？ 你情况怎样的？
