我真要崩溃了

ronboger

请问GWD的难度是什么水平呀 他是不是比实际考试难呀 为什么我做OG和别的资料的题准确率都很高 但一做GWD我就完全没了准星 做完GWD然后对答案感觉完全颠覆了我以前做题的方法和感觉 正确率才达到百分之六十 是不是大家都遇到过这种情况 对完答案我就觉得以前的努力白费了 不过我做别的题的时候心态很好很自信 但做GWD的时候好像六神无主 如果考试那天是这种感觉 我真是死定了 郁闷 狂郁闷 即生我 何生ETS

ronboger

再加一句 我是复习了半个月了 第一次做GWD第一套 我苦恼的是我的心态 我感觉我真正考的时候肯定会六神无主 因为我做GWD的时候就当作是真正考试

古镯

ronboger，你做OG大概各个部分的正确率有多少？

如果OG的题目还没有吃透，最好还是以OG为主

tonyadidas

首先，不要着急。才半个月嘛。何必这么心急去做GWD呢？如果不是那么赶时间，就还是从og和大全做起。没有经历987的洗礼，任何防线都会被GWD颠覆的。

其次，GWD里的确有很多悬而未决的题。到最后考试之前我也有如下题目未能有定论。

如果楼主有耐心仔细看看这些题目，就会发现真的会让人很郁闷。我个人认为，GWD与OG最大的不同就在于在og里，考点没有分级，that is，正确选项的语法考点以绝对正确的方式呈现，错误选项的考点以绝对错误的方式呈现。所以，仔细看og的SC的解释的目的就在于把握每一个考点。而GWD得体很多会出现考点的分级，that is，有大于一个的选项给出了正确的考点，而有一个更好一些。如何判断最好就在于平时练习中对相对错的积累。有的疑似选项按GMAT的语法是正确的，但是很“笨拙”。“笨拙”这两个字就是指在理解上造成了困难。这种感觉就是真的只有在吃透og的考点之后大量的练习才能有所突破的地方。

还想说一下的就是逻辑意思。无论看似正确的选项从语法上讲有多对，表达的逻辑意思是错误的，那它就是错误的。也许正确选项有一些很不顺眼的地方，但意思对了就对。引用一位G友的口头禅：“逻辑意思才是王道。”而这一点，恰恰是GWD最喜欢设置的考点。

关于其他部分的GWD与og的区别我没什么见解，因为og其他部分的解释我没怎么看。

最后，GWD是最接近实战的资料。希望珍惜。在做过kaplan,princeton等其他末考题之后，会发现对GWD本人的敬仰之情与日俱增。所以强烈建议先看OG和大全，最后再GWD。还有一个补充原因是从JJ中可以看出，GWD的实战重现率相当高，最后作在考试中的印象会深一些。

一家之言，仅供参考。

tonyadidas实在是字字珠玑啊～～虽然本人才开始复习没几天，却已从大人的帖子中受益良多～

顶楼的一起加油^_^，虽然俺滴水平还有待提高～8过希望会在前方滴～～

小女公子

别郁闷了，我还有几天就要考了，竟然pace出问题，数学也不见提高。我基本上已经给自己判死刑了……数学，数学啊

ronboger

非常感谢 我觉得GMAT最与众不同的是它不仅费体力还费精神 我刚刚建立的自信就这样被GWD给抹杀了  我们再来过。 TMD

ronboger

我做OG得准确率大概10道错一道 但是我做每道题的时间很长
感谢 古镯  tonyadidas 看来我还是老老实实的把OG做几遍吧 我们共同努力吧 什么时候我们也弄一个像ETS这样的机构 我们也出题难一难老美 连出题的形式都想好了 语法阅读全以文言文的形式出题 哈哈 不发牢骚了 去做题了

I just was done these problems. MY answers are 1-Q2 E. Q8 E. 4-Q2 B.3-Q8 C. 9-Q15 D. Q39A. 10-Q1C. 11-Q14 D. Q30E. 12-Q20D. 12-Q31A.

what result can imfer form these questions. I wonder which type is similar to the GMAT truely , GWD or OG.thanks

tonyadidas

回楼上的。这些题都是非常有争议的，我不敢确认你的答案是否正确。我举出这些题是希望例证GWD的考点不像og那样容易给出确定的答案。具体讨论可参见语法区的GWD汇总讨论。

GWD的语法更接近实战。og的相对来说简单了些。因为分析清楚考点没什么好犹豫的。而实战中有的题分析出了考点也一样犹豫。
