Shinogigi, gmat and me, something I want to talk about and u might benefit…
Although I did not get a desire score on my gmat today, still want to share something with you all. I take time to write this is because I believe you guys will get some sth from it in someway…
I think I should start with my academic background. I don’t want to surprise you all , but honestly I have never had high school because I am not academic smart person, I was not interest in high school and my IQ is just so so, I guess…so accordingly I did not have a formal education at university also, which I think most gmat takers would have. What I have? I have a self-study degree in english from sisu and some spirit and sth incommunicable…
When the time I started to prepare for gmat, I realized that how far away from that degree (seems not too bad) to gmat and from me to the so-called high score of gmat. If I said the distance is just like that form earth to moon, probaby you still can not get it, more specifically, I almost can’t get one question right when I started with math, math too me just like a book from heaven since I have never had high school at all and I left middle school over a decade ago. Verbal is all Greek to me, the reason is not too far to seek… maybe one RC took me hours to get it, or maybe still can not get it.
But, but my spoken english is almost as native as americans, but that’s not to be tested, right? Whether should I write ETS to complain, I am thinking about that! ;-)
So why gmat, seems unreasonable. Several things need to be clarified here, first I am not a stupid person, second I do have many merits and third, I am a quite lucky person so far. The reasons behind gmat are quite complicated, I was told study in states is a very memorable and rewarding life experience… life is experience…isn’t it! Or maybe I could get many other things in life quite easily except gmat, and that could be another reason…or I want to be a person to get into the best b-schoo in states even without high school in china, that’s not too bad too! Although study and especially study for test is not sth I am good at, and probably my weakest point, I do enjoy gmat in many ways, with various moods.
Something about gigi, I found her several month ago…I was tring to find a tutor for quite a long time but seem not quite lucky until I met her. First I want to thank her for her tremendous help for leading my way to gmat closer and closer… second her acute understanding and insightful analysis make my gmat learning full of pleasure and enjoyment. I am not doing the promotion or marketing job for her here since she even will not teach me anymore. Actually I am quite sorry for her leaving, not because of me, I always feel she should give a lesson to all gmat taker, especially in the reading part, her predictable sense of gmat reading and clear layers of focus and the super sense of connection in the context will enlight many gmat takers and give them the confidence in this test as well as save their times tremendously, just feel she really can help those greatly! Maybe gigi should give some public service which will not only benefit the country as a whole but also the individal participates, that is my issue writing today. :-)
Conclusion, I will continue my enjoyment and I firmly believe I can make it. If I can, everyone can, and there is no reason for anyone to quit.
And to gigi, you are a great girl and hope you take good care of yourself and enjoy your life in another country. And to all the gmat takers, lets enjoy gmat, because that’s the way to enjoy life since it is part of our life now!
Hope you guys not get bored! |
