大清早收到Manhattan提醒，特来分享

讲的是 manhattan的人参加GMAC Test Prep Summit后和GMAC的人（Dr. Lawrence M. Rudner, Chief Psychometrician of GMAC）交流后的的心得体会。 觉得和我们平时了解的不一样。
1. GMAC强调了前十题没有传说中重要，正确率不比timing重要，做不完可能有15%的惩罚。
For those who may not have seen the data before, Larry again showed us real data showing how a 70^th percentile test taker would drop if she left the last five questions blank. Assuming that she was at the 70^th percentile when she ran out of time, that student would end up with a 55^th percentile score – a 15-percentile-point drop!

2.SC有变化，强调meaning rather than grammar。
例子说明 Official Guide Verbal Supplement 2^nd Edition and take a look at question 37.
GMAC has asked ACT (the people who write the actual test questions for GMAC) to emphasize meaning more on SC questions.
If you’re concentrating solely on the grammar and haven’t learned how to incorporate meaning into your assessment, you’re going to find the real GMAT harder.

3. GMAC 目标， 没有Idioms题。
They’ve asked ACT to phase idioms out completely and, ideally, there already aren’t any more questions that hinge on knowledge of idioms.

这样看来，如果来不及的话，最好的策略就是猜一道，做一道

果然逻辑意思是最终解题点啊

那是不是，如果发现时间来不及了，最后的几个瞎蒙也得把它选了？这样不就影响pace了么？而且也可能会连错啊？

(Note: the magnitude of the drop can change depending upon the scoring level. As a general rule, the higher the score, the more of a drop if you leave questions blank or have a string of wrong answers at the end.)
最后连错和空着都会有扣分，提高自己的实力是王道

I always thought the meaning is what differentiate GMAT from other standardize tests.
