My experience in North America

一直在看

Dear CDers,



(I am slow in typing chinese letter, sorry about this... Hope this is useful for the others)



First of all, thanks for having such a wonderful community.. . I really benefit a lot from it.



Here is my background, I have been working for long time and now
thinking change carrer to management and finance. That is the reason I
started working on GMAT. Only prepared for about 2 month, I mean put my
spare time after work  (~ 2 hours/day at most).  With all the
unkown support from CDer, I got what I want (unofficial 700+). The
following are my experiences:



1) OG is very useful, especially the SC part. When I started, I forgot
all about the details in grammar. I read the OG-SC about 4 times,
marking down the incorrect answers and understanding why . My pace is
70 problems per day during the weekdays, and review in weekends.
REMEMBER, always ask why ETS put this problem, what ETS want to test.
Not memorize the answer, it is useless.



2) I have a very strong engineering background, so MATH is easy for me
from the begining. I did not read anything about it. Just worked on few
combinational problems and GWD tests. You need only careful and
acturacy to deal with it as GMAT only test junior high school math, in
my opinion.



3) Reading: I like one of the post in CD: classify the questions and
try not to make mistake on main idea type and what it infer type
questions. I think you just need more pratice for the subjects you are
not familiar. For me, it is the women issues (which ETS likes to test).




4) During the test, closely watch your pace. Do not panic. I could have
done better, if I were not mistakenly thinking the remaining time, that
made me give up one reading. However, I am not regret, I think I had
more time for the rest of logic and SC questions and compasite my
score.



Not sure if it is useful. Anyway, as a feedback to this community.
