leon跟我说过一些你的情况。

我觉得你现在要用的材料不是GWD,可能你对一些思路并不熟悉,停下GWD,从OG开始,它会教你这个考试的思路。

等你做完一边OG后,看看自己是否对GMAT有不一样的了解。

Thx Carol

17 Sept 06  ---Rest

Decide to fully    回归OG

went to do gym last nite... pretty kind of relaxing after exercise !!!  I gave myself a little break today... went to Mong Kwok and bought a pair of sports shoes for appraisal of my GMAT hard work..haha  though i am not studying as hard as u guys do... but for me, this GMAT test is the exams with longest revisioin time in which i have ever had. ... lots of ppl in Mong Kwok with plenty of sunshine !!! Lovely day!!! 

18 Sept 06--- Do exercise

19+20 Sept --- OG-CR   have done OG CR for the past few days... assumption, weakening !!! and also for the OG SC.. a bit...  have to redo OG RC after that...

21 Sept 06--  Just redo the GWD SC ---- 1-90 questions.... really forget some of the mistakes.. .need to add oil... i periodically review the previous GWD questions that i did before... GWD CD1-CD7...

Do GWD Classified, OG classified, non-stop... do and have a feel that u feel all the ans and questions

had a chat with my friend in CD !!!, he is pretty helpful and gave me lots of advice,

Maths

JJ--Most important.... could come out 20/31 questions, do them yourself first and then read the discussion forum  (revision time---2min per JJ, 400x2=800min)

Fei fei "bo din" revise when i have time

CR---most difficult

RC---JJ most important, read more, if from GWD.. remember it !!  get the sensitivity for the point of question by reading OG more and more times.... read, read and read !!!!

SC---do more

Pace----2min per question

first 10-  54min remaining,  20- 38min, 30 -  19min,  41 -  0min

22 Sept 06

Tonight, i will go for Columbia MBA info session !!! Everything is working very slowly today.. feel energetic but the attitude is slow, motion is slow, action is slow... !!! .. haha.. perhaps i have to add more oil.. time is limited !!!

23 Sept 06

Today is so tired.. have a feeling that revision should be continuous and non-stop.. the less disturb, the more efficiency it is ....  !!! didn't revise much !

24 Sept 06

Still very tired and didn't revise much.... But kick off with maths revision.... did some of the previous OG maths questions for an hour

Reset a comprehensive plan for revision !!!

Have realised a good method for non-boring revision when i feel tired or short time improvement.  The method is consistently in reading... just reading... read the CR, SC, RC (just questions and the passage), just to improve the reading speed, nothing else... have done 2 hours of continuous reading... reading through GWD CR 60 questions.. just question (without reading the ans. options), RC ----reading for 4 passages (without doing any question as well)... the feeling of reading non-stop sounded great as there is no pressure of question doing.. as well as u can really understand what the passages are about and how to understand what the structure of the questions...

Hope it works !!!

25 Sept 06

Monday.... continuous to use my reading habit " to improve my reading speed as well as the understandable of the questions"... would do CD8 to see what are the accuracy !!! wouldn't expect too much... !!! 

GWD-10-Q25 -Q28大名鼎鼎的印第安人水权案----just have a quick review for this passage... crazy.. don't understand what does this passage means.... crazy...

have read through  50sc.. OG questions

2 passages of gwd passages.... continue to add oil !!

30 Sept 06

Little An reading skills

All GWD passages that i have done !!! 

CR + RC OG !!!

Thx Stella !!!

Just did GWD -- CD 8... A word "crazy"...HELP !!!

My problem is as follows:

I felt faint after 40mins of the test... i guess i would definitely fall down if i conduct the actual mock test including AWA and maths !!

Overtime 15mins... had a feeling of very faint at the end of the test !! couldn't concentrate at the end.... 图片点击可在新窗口打开查看图片点击可在新窗口打开查看图片点击可在新窗口打开查看   

A bit improvement   wrong 10 but 15mins overtime !!!  

SC-3,   RC --5,   CR---2....  RC ---completely faint !!

i guess i need to improve my concentration by reading the RC passage in a non-stop manner for over 2 hours without gaining the feeling of faint !!! TRAIN IT EVERYDAY !!! i couldn't think of any other ways... HELP!!    Then my accuracy can improve !!!   To be honest, my head was really faint when i started to read about the third passage not to mention the fourth passage !!!

just back home... oh.. watch TV as usual... suddenly forget that i have to continue for GMAT revision !!! Hence... get back to CD and continue for the GMAT.... Yeah..   get some review for CD8 !!

26 Sept 06

Tonight, i basically will review the RC questions regarding the method asking and how to effectively find out the answers... i have a feel that most of the GWD---RC questions are related to structures, author attitude and "in order to " questions !!! some related to details questions...

27 Sept 06

didn't do much last night, went for a drink with friend, we discussed about our future career path... seems that there are still lots of opportunities around the world and i have to cherish my opportunities to get the GMAT done and apply for the B-School !!!   World is chaning, Hong Kong is changing and my mindset is changing as well.  ... today... i plan to continue to improve my reading speed, reading feeling as well as continue to revise previous GWD RC+CR, also reading for the SC sentences to get the feel !!!   after that, i would try GWD 9 !!!   

In fact, feel a bit tired today!! don't know why !!! do some exercise when have time !!!..... i found reading the CR (just for quesitons) is quite useful... for one thing, the paragraph is short, for other thing, it improves my reading speed and learning how to capture and remember a short parapgraph in my mind without writing in the paper... it helps out for the RC improvement !!! God Bless !!! Add oil !!

last night, i tried to summarize all the GWD RC question types that would be likely to come out in the real test !!! it seems that it requires a lot of speed and consistency... i will try to review all the GWD questions for GWD CR+RC what i did before ...

CD1-8 and get a feel what it is about and do CD9 tonight... continuous review what i did is pretty important !!!!!!!   for the past few days, i have been reading a lot of CR+RC and get the feel that in the ultimate exams .. only feel can help u out for the last ten questions in which i guess i have less than 15mins to do the last 10 questions and the feel would definitely the solution out of all. 

so i try my best to review and review for what i did for the past week ... so i plan to all the GWD by the end of this month and review for the "GWD classified" to get the final feel and then redo the GWD set in a one go... AWA+Maths+Verbal...   continuous do SC questions per day to get the feel... even for the questions that have been done before... it is a good habit to keep on doing for all three parts... SC, CR and RC....the final stage is pretty important as it trains ur persistency throughout the 3 hours exams... !!! hopefully, i can do it...

     Suddenly, i realise one thing... is that if i lost the interest on one thing, no matter how much time u have, u still couldn't get hold of the study... so have to stick to the quality not the quantity... stick to health and efficiency !!!

Consumers planning to buy recreational equipment tend to buy higher quality, more expensive equipment when the economy is strong than when it is weak. Hill and Dale is a business that sells high-quality, expensive camping and hiking equipment in Boravia. Although all the signs are that Boravia’s economy is now entering a period of sustained strength, the managers of the business do not expect a substantial increase in sales.

 

 

 

Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest

justification for the managers’ judgment?

A.     A significant proportion of Hill and Dale’s sales are made to

customers who enter the store in order to buy one particular

item but, once there, find other items to buy as well.

B.     In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might

otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas.

C.     The economic upturn is likely to allow Boravia’s nati-

onal parks, where most of the camping and hiking is

done, to receive extra funding to improve their visitor facilities.

D.     Advances in materials technology have led to the

development of hiking and camping equipment that

is more comfortable and lightweight than before.

E.      Many people in Boravia not only are committed to

preserving the country’s wilderness areas but also

are interested in spending some time in them.

have or have not (one thing)

last sentence (no need remember) but it's a conclusion

remember (noun)  , remember action

 

a sentence whether it is a whole meaning

whether u get the sentence meaning at that point

 

Thinking of scope !!!

Economy (good/bad issue)

Price(high/low issue)

Sales (high/low issue)

quality equipment (high/low issue)

have or have not equipment  issue

compare for the CONTENT, anything can be changed .. except noun , verb can change

B---whether they go or not go vacation question  (out of scope)

C--- have or have not such facilities---equipment (in scope)

1. Passage ---things (noun, verb)

2. Ans choices---   that/which subordinate clause  (take care for the whole meaning of the sentence)

3. content choice not relationship choice

content is relevant not the relationship is relevant !!

only remember for what the scope, not need to think, in scope---ans !

1.         GWD-26-Q29

Educational Theorist: Recent editorials have called for limits on the amount
of homework assigned to children. They point out that free-time activities
play an important role in childhood development and that large amounts of
homework reduce children's free time, hindering their development. But the
average homework time for a ten year old, for example, is little more than
30 minutes per night. Clearly, therefore, there is no need to impose the
limits these editorials are calling for.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the educational theorist's
argument relies?
A. The free-time activities that ten year olds engage in most are all approximately equally effective at fostering development

effective issue
B. Regularly doing homework assignments improves children's academic performance.

assigment improves issue

C. Individual teachers are not the best judges of how much homework to assign the children they teach

judge issue
D. In most schools, if not all, the homework assignments given are of a length that does not diverge widely from the average.
    

subordinate clause... delete it...

length (long or short issue)
E. Free-time activities rarely teach children skills or information that they can use in their academic work.

can or cannot use issue

Did all the SC questions in an hour to get the feeling !!! now doing for the CR questions at a slot... will do the RC questions in the afternoon... will review OG questions again tomorrow.. !!!

i think that at the end of the day... only feeling helps u to get the correct ans... so i continue to train myself to get the feeling... question analysis is important but during the exams time... do u think that u have so much time on analysing the questions... probably u just have 30 sec to pick the options after spending 1 mins to understand the question...haha... ongoing... fight fight fight !!!
