一战 2017/08/07 V27 Q49总分640

二战 2017/08/25 V35 Q45 总分660

三战2017/11/30 V29 Q50总分 660

都三战了，VERBAL却退步V35-V29，20天后再战可行吗？

先讲讲下自己的曲折的备课经历。本人是在职妈妈。今天6月开始第一次备考，6至8三个月没上班，全职复习，每天复习时间8小时左右。，刷OG 2遍，PREP08 做了一半，考前狂看阅读机经，结果导致考试的时候阅读有点读不进去，读题比较慢，最后几道题都是蒙的。通过自我总结，阅读是薄弱点，应该每天读阅读。

马上报名18天后的第二次考试。于是接着每天做题12小时左右，阅读按小安的方法总结。 SC 分类刷，重新做OG 错题，CR 写逻辑链，看BIBILE 笔记。第二次考试前两天换库了，结果数学悲剧了，VERBAL 却有大幅度提高。

9月和10月开启上班+带娃模式，没有固定时间复习，只是偶尔看看OG。后面有人开始帮忙带娃了，决定11月30号 三战。

第三次备考从10月22日到11月30日，复习共40天左右，主要还是在VERBAL，主要看OG 错题，做PREP07阅读，PREP08 语法和逻辑。 SC 每个错题题都查MANHATTAN，但很费时。 考前十天做了8套GWD,两次PACK 2模考. GWD分数30-42分都有，平均模考分34分，SC一般错4个，CR 错三个，阅读错3-6个，但是好像很多GWD题目在其他地方都做过，感觉不能测出真实水平。考试前几天狂刷了数学机经， 结果VERBAL 又悲剧了。考verbal 时前面20题在做完还剩38分钟，在PACE范围内，后面遇到 一篇长阅读题，这题阅读选择题花了很多时间，发现PACE 大幅落后，后面10题只剩10分钟好像。 结果后面放弃了3道CR，最后几题SC也是很赶地做。

请求DUSTIN老师和大神们帮我分析下verbal成绩短期可以提高吗？我的突破口在哪里？应该着重训练哪块？毕竟官方的题目有限，再做一遍感觉题目都很熟悉了，该怎么训练！

谢谢！不胜感激！！！附上8/25 和11/30 ERS

好滴！我非常同意要提高阅读理解力和阅读速度。 我现在已经每天看长难句和阅读小分队了。
Economist 是 ...

我認為可以挑跟GMAT相關的題材，宏微觀經濟，消費者行為，公司治理，環境，科學等等都是可以參考的。

好滴！我非常同意要提高阅读理解力和阅读速度。 我现在已经每天看长难句和阅读小分队了。
Economist 是什么文章都看吗？还是按topics 看？

CR 我是 按strengthen weaken assumption  题型练习，错题有分析下，总结比较少。感觉时间不够用了，这个月打算再考一次！

1. 樓主，我有一部關於SC長劃線跟差別大如何找考點的影片，再麻煩你找找了～
不敢說全然有用，但至少是一個可以嘗試的方向。
2. 要能夠預測方向，前提是要先做好OG內所有CR題的類型總結。不知道樓主有沒有嘗試做過總結呢？
3. 這個請一定要天天做閱讀理解力的訓練，特別拿NYTIMES的社論類型新聞報導以及economist的最好。

看了下面的幾道樓主做的SC題，建議樓主看這個帖子：
https://forum.chasedream.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1309917&page=2#pid23714126

然後樓主的CR也是卡在選項故意寫得間接、寫得複雜時，無法直接聯想啊...這個就真的跟閱讀理解力有很大的關係了。不要一開始就練楊鵬，先用上面講的素材開始練～

在職媽媽辛苦了...好像有發現樓主的做題表現跟所花時間存在著相當大的關係。且在有足夠時間下，是有衝到高 ...

下面是我做的一些用了较长时间的题目，并且做错了。 求建议！

1.Antarctica receives more solar radiation than does any other place on Earth, yet the temperatures are so cold and the ice cap is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise, the water levels of the oceans would rise 250 feet and engulf most of the world’s great cities.
A.        is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise,
B.        is so reflective that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; were it to do so,
C.        so reflective that little polar ice melts during the summer, or else
D.        reflective, so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer, or
E.        reflects so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; if it did

这题用了3：00,我是用逐一排除，先排除D,E 然后ABC 之间选 了C

2. On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold gold in the form of bullion or coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.
A.        On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
B.        With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
C.        A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding
D.        Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold
E.        Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

这题我是用逐一排除，先排除A,E 然后排除C， 然后D Because of +n +doing, 最后排除D （正确选项）， 选了B
用了2：30

3. Plankton generally thrive in areas of the ocean with sufficient concentrations of certain nitrogen compounds near the surface, where plankton live.  Nevertheless, some areas, though rich in these nitrogen compounds, have few plankton.  These areas have particularly low concentrations of iron, and oceanographers hypothesize that this shortage of iron prevents plankton from thriving.  However, an experimental release of iron compounds into one such area failed to produce a thriving plankton population, even though local iron concentrations increased immediately.
Which of the following, if true, argues most strongly against concluding, on the basis of the information above, that the oceanographers’ hypothesis is false?
A.        Not all of the nitrogen compounds that are sometimes found in relatively high concentrations in the oceans are nutrients for plankton.
B.        Certain areas of the ocean support an abundance of plankton despite having particularly low concentrations of iron.
C.        The release of the iron compounds did not increase the supply of nitrogen compounds in the area.
D.        A few days after the iron compounds were released, ocean currents displaced the iron-rich water from the surface.
E.        The iron compounds released into the area occur naturally in areas of the ocean where plankton thrive.

模考的时候这题用了5分钟，看完理解了题目， 知道要 support  ” this shortage of iron prevents plankton from thriving” ， 第一轮把正确选项也排除了，再重新选，最后选错了A



4. In 1992 outlaw fishing boats began illegally harvesting lobsters from the territorial waters of the country of Belukia. Soon after, the annual tonnage of lobster legally harvested in Belukian waters began declining; in 1996, despite there being no reduction in the level of legal lobster fishing activity, the local catch was 9,000 tons below pre-1992 levels. It is therefore highly likely that the outlaw fishing boats harvested about 9,000 tons of lobster illegally that year.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

(A) The illegal lobster harvesting was not so extensive that the population of catchable lobsters in Belukia’s territorial waters had sharply declined by 1996.
(B) The average annual lobster catch, in tons, of an outlaw fishing boat has increased steadily since 1992.
(C) Outlaw fishing boats do not, as a group, harvest more lobsters than do licensed lobster-fishing boats.
(D) The annual legal lobster harvest in Belukia in 1996 was not significantly less than 9,000 tons.
(E) A significant proportion of Belukia’s operators of licensed lobster-fishing boats went out of business between 1992 and 1996.

这题也用了3分钟，排除了CDE, AB之间看选项没找到有合适的，就选了B



5. A medieval manuscript called L contains all eighteen extant tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides. Of these, ten called the “select plays,” are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also appear in other medieval manuscripts; this group includes some of Euripides’ best-known works, including the Medea. The other eight, which appear in alphabetical order, without commentary. The Electra is one of the alphabeticals.
Which of the following can be reliably concluded on the basis of the Statements given?
A.        Only Euripides’ best-known works are accompanied by ancient commentaries in extant medieval manuscripts.
B.        The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries because they were the best known of Euripides’ works.
C.        No commentaries were written about Euripides’ Electra in ancient times.
D.        Euripides’ Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts unaccompanied by ancient commentary.
E.        Euripides’ Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript.

这题也用了很久来逐一排除选项。

1. SC 长划线找split的比较久的是改得面目全非的选项.
2. CR 选项选的慢应该不是因为长难句选项，是因为没有预测好可能的答案或逻辑方向，才导致解题慢。 如果大概知道这个CR 的逻辑类型，会比较快排除。
3. 阅读长文章自己倒是 有想抓住作者到底想讲什么和想抓住架构,但是有时会被detail 或者复杂的句子结构,或者各种转折搞得有点晕,就抓不住文章的逻辑结构. 也知道skimming,例子会快读一下 。
下午的时候PO 出我感觉做的比较慢的几种题，这样DUSTIN 也许会更好了解我的薄弱点。感谢！！

1. 長劃線找split有困難指的是選項與選項間只有部分改寫的嗎？還是被改得面目全非的？
2. 所以指的是某些長難句選項？還是所有選項都會讀得慢？
3. 第一遍讀有在心中抓文章架構嗎？有用skimming的心態來處理第一遍讀題嗎？

太感动！Dustin 谢谢你的回复!

SC- 最耗时间的感觉是做长划线句子在找First Split。 或者  有时候句子没读完，急着找split,  然后再重读句子，也有浪费时间。
CR- 耗时多的主要在第一轮排除选项。 有时还要回原文读下，再排除。
RC-感觉是Verbal 里 所有里最耗时的,特别是长文阅读题，第一遍读文章最耗时。 看状态，有时候有点读不进，或者感觉读的比较慢。 还有细节的定位题比较耗时，像 Which of the following ...?  这类题型的选项里要每一个选项有时都回文看，再排除，感觉比较耗时。
恩目前能想到的就这些。谢谢Dustin!
