---- Make a study calendar takeaway 1. blocks 2. review each 3. update
GMAT review log record 1. careless mistake 2. faster way 3. wrong comfortable
dont record 1. similar again 2. not comfortable
review log 1. what well 2. when do 3. re-do date
prioritize Quant: 37 -> 51 + 14 Verbal: 30 -> 46 + 16 both
----- Sentence Correction Methods: 1. 4-step 2. grammar eliminate 3. vertical splits
what is sc testing correct grammar -> clear meaning 1. subject-verb agreement
SC PROCESS 1. take a 1st glance (underline + differences in ans choice) 2. read for MEANING 3. find a starting point 4. eliminate (everything you can) 5. repeat (until you have eliminated all)
dont use your ear until you have no other choices
every sentence - who did what (subject verb) 1. find the subject 2. find the verb
eliminate ones with issues idioms: (flash card) estimate x to be y
don't do 1. dont use your ear
1:20 on each sc problem
the offspring that RESULT (plural) almost universally are infertile
almost xxx: barely xx
the term cannot be a a series cannot be expecting
semicolon: 2 independent sentences
EXAMPLE (Only) 1. i sleep (only on thursday) only on thursday describe 2. i only sleep (on thursday) on thursday describe
parallelism: to release to save verb form
propose instead to release
flash card: idioims: research vacation options (v.)
n.: he did research about alligators
SC 1. attention to overall structure and meaning when unclear
explain as: a yawn can be explained as a reflex (what a yawn is) explain by: a yawn can be explained by her lack of sleep (why she's yawning)
similarity is a result of the movement it is not a movement
dont use being in can be explained by
comma with: 1. describe an action taking place simultaneously with main action with arms and legs flying 2. introduce consequences of main action with the result that she suffered... 3. WRONG: explain main clause should use because instead
there is nothing inherently wrong with the passive voice Don’t eliminate just because a choice is passive.
the key is on: publication featured articles, not individuals the ACTION
these publications and individuals as nouns
The GMAT mindset
Investment
summary today 1. goal: 37->51, 30->46 2. stick to a schedule 3. use flash card for SC
