原地踏步，590-640-640，GMAT再见了

GMAT分手快乐

本人国内知名985新晋大四狗一只，自认为英语底子还不错，六级615，托福二战106.曾经觉得考试这个东西，只要努力了，就一定会成功。
但是GMAT告诉我，不是的。
590-640-640，三次分数下来，让我断了继续考GMAT的念头。第一次算是裸考，所以这个分数也合情合理。但是二战到三战我自认为付出了百分之百的努力，尤其是三战前半个月，每天高强度8小时复习，题目认真分析总结，但是结果依然让我心碎。
目前的学习复习资料已经完全跟不上考试的难度了，尤其是句子改错，然而我们目前有的资料却还是10年前、5年前的，我自认为考前这些资料正确率可以在80%，但是实战的感觉真的已经完全变了。prep，og只能是入门，但是官方却不提供那些真题。也许有人会说，那也有很多人就靠着这些资料就可以考到740+，但很遗憾，我不是。
也许有的考试真的不适合自己吧，也许是我的复习方向不对，但是申请时间紧迫，只能说，GMAT再见了~希望还有时间的前战友们可以杀鸡成功！
（转战GRE哈哈哈）

我是觉得现有的资料太落后了，考前我prep12句子改错75就错5，但是考试上来的题目类型感觉真的不一样。我也不像有些大神一通百通那种，很好地掌握每个部分间的内在联系。而且我是没时间耗了，决定出国决定地比较晚，所以现在急着出分，GMAT我觉得是要慢慢去学习领悟，短期内出分还是比较难。楼主只能及时止损，转战GRE了~不想gap啊

你有好好summarize吗？其实这两道SC有共同点。

1. That educators have not anticipated the impact of  ...

A - That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault

That something has happened can hardly be said that it is their fault.
something = educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

The second that is problematic.

If we change the construction to - That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be their fault, I don't see any grammatical lapses, the construction is inelegant and awkward. I would look for a better construction.

B - That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault

That something has happened can hardly be said to be at fault.
something = educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

What does it even mean? Who is at fault? An event cannot be at fault.

C - It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology is just a modifier modifying educators. So the sentence in essence reads - It can hardly be said that it is the fault of a certain kind of educators.

certain kind - those educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology

Now what is the fault of educators? it has no referent.

E - The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said.

Something can hardly be said - Okay

Something - The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology

- Changes meaning. it is not a fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology. In fact this very thing is debatable.

D - It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology - Perfect.

你真的找到方法了吗？第一次直接去掉（裸考）。你知道认真准备的人有的考了3-5次才过，而且底子都不错（所谓的什么T 多少分，985等等）。你只是考了2次而已。你不知道大部分人是3-4次才分手。GMAT不是英语考试。他是方法对了，学起来很轻松。要求英语好（阅读）+逻辑+一点点语法知识（不光记住，学会用，融到血液里）。我曾经也是考到3次决定不考了。后来也许是缘分，看到了baby的帖子。让我决定重新考一次。结果那一次，就分手了（760，之前都市640。你要反思自己的问题。这个论坛很浮躁。真的。多翻阅外国论坛。利用好OG。沉下去。如果你觉得沉没成本不大，那就转GRE。如果你不甘心，再考一次无妨。

哈哈主要是时间太紧张，我也觉得GMAT是要沉下心准备的，现在急着申请的情况可能GRE比较适合我。我觉得可能等至少GRE有比较好的成绩之后，有时间了，我会再次挑战GMAT的~谢谢你
