1) I thought listening compresion JJ is very useful, in my case, Trojan Asteroid, Famale/Male spider size, GG get parking ticket all have been posted previously, my experience is to grasp its main idea and question point, but don't memorize other person's answer is case misconducting. With JJ, I can quickly grasp the main structure, at least I know what is the passage talking about, then I only need to pay attention to its detail mentioned in question point.
The other experience I have is get focused, and believe your first impression. 当我考到第三题时, 明显感觉越来越难。过了第五题。又回复正常。切记不要患得换是。让听力的胜负成为自然的结果。其实我做完听力后,感觉PART A很差, 好几题都是凭感觉猜的。不要犹豫,相信你的第一感觉。
I am a little surprise to get 29. Seems like 前人讲的听得越吐血分数越高颇有道理
The preparation I suggest is to focus on PP review by category (biology, astonomy)。 Plus selective view some backgroud based on JJ.
Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention, is one passage I found it in May 15 JJ. looks like ETS keep reusing those passage.
2) Grammer
Not too much to talk about. similar level as PP.掌握常用考点可以事半功倍。Such as while/during. n + adj sequence error. 词型混用等。多做全镇题 + a little luck = 13-30
3) After I finished all 44 choice, still 30 minutes left, I go through all of them. 讲化石的那篇应该是最难的, JJ volulabary are all appeared before. Recite the recent 3 months JJ voculabary should be enough. 那四篇应该都看的明明白白,搞不懂 why I have only 26. Most likely in those insert question. Plus that "what's the main idea" for informal economy. 那道题就算全中文也很难猜,绝大部分篇幅都在讲3 situation of that particular example of Ie 难道答案是 “Different transaction for IE?
Recall some more for everybody:
Birds and reptile 那篇:
Birds and reptile are from same ancestor if not specifically talking about dianosour, there is a special kind of bird, scientist find some linke between birds and reptile.
The most striking discovery is in Gemany quarry, while scientist find a dianosour fossile, they originally though this is just like a normal predator. But to their suprise, this dianosour has feather.
This demonstrate birds and reptile come from same ancestor, Furthermore, scientist find several other similaties between, like teeth, toa, jaw something. and one particular characteristic which can only be found in birds
Q1) highlight the sentence in paragraph 2 to show what demonstrate reptile and birds...
choose last sentence that contain " the dianosour has feather"
Q2) What charasterstic is not mentioned as birds and reptile
Ans: they don't have tail
other choise is like " a) teeth, b) toe c) jaw or something
4) Writing
哥们把8/1至9/3 所有考过的writing go over, not writing in detail for each, but at least 3 reasons.再把对应每个reason 的例子想了想。实践发现重复极高。另外一个发现是 those writing which already happen in the past written test. it's very likely to happen again in CBT. 越是以前在笔考中考过, 越易出现。This is mostly due to ETS has gathered thousands of samples, that they can input more accurate data to adjust their computer program, I will discuss it later. 记得考试当天起床第一件事看看最新JJ's writing topic, Same day very possible to have same topic. Especailly when you are in western coast, while someone in eastern coast which is 3 hours before you may already post it online.
作文30 minutes I can tell you is very very limited, when I see my topic, fortunately it's been tested 2 days ago in other jj, I immediately write 3 reason on the paper, then begin to type my template first, then add blood and muscle. A hint, if you can't think of any example to exemplify, then simply write " Take me as an example", then those ideas will keep coming out of your brain though no one care it's fake or not.
Remember after 3 reasons, you can have a paragraph like " Admitted, as a proverb says, "everything has 2 sides". BBB also has some undeniable merits ...... However, AAA carry more weight than .... " Be sure to type this paragraph last in case you are short of time, Write your "To sum up .... " first. when enough time left, go back to add this paragraph.
I have been doing computer programming for many years, If ETS can have a computer to give score, (always remember computer is impossible to be as smart as people), Then most likely its program is desinged to just
a) How many words of this writing
b) How many syntax/grammer/spelling error,
C) Compared with its internal model essay(that's why ETS like those old writing topic) to see any better expression, such as point 3 people say " it's important that... " 5 point "On no account can we ignore the significance".
Also computer will check those keywords for 3 reason, such as " First, Furthermore, Last but not least" with those words and 3 separate paragraph you have at least point 4.
And your essay structure. 5 paragraph, head, conclusion, 3 reason, plus " admittedly".
I believe everyone knows once computer give you a 5, then your final score will be between 4.5 to 5.5 depending the teacher. so all you have to do it try to cheat that stupid computer. Remember in the computer world, 硬性指标更重要,Computer won't be able to tell 你的立意标新立异。观点独特。哪个好写就agree that opinion. Structure and number of words are more important.
Hope it can抛砖引玉。
Attached my writing template, 3 reason(大都是从185 范文和185思路里总结出) for all topics since Aug 1 to Sep 2
