考前忧郁>>>mindfree讲解阅读方法>>>pumpkin修改标题

rita1209

复习了一个月的GMAT，今天鼓起勇气用PP测试一番，结果遭到一大打击，MATH42（仍该加强），VERBAL14（只做了20题），总分470（能看ㄇ），于是10月20日要考的我不仅落下一滴泪（也来不及改期了）另一方面，怀疑自己是否是个傻子，无非是觉得我这一个月的努力到底是什么，一点进步也没有，唉唉！我知道我的问题在于VERBAL的速度，但是因为我做题很慢，尤其是阅读，大家能否告诉我该怎办！？

First of all, you know that you will have to take the test eventually. So feel some urgency. If you are not ready, put it off a bit.

Normally people should learn two thing in their preparation: what GMAT is about and how to think (read). In order to learn well, you need to think and remember a lot. When you do some questions wrong, did you spend time to think over them? When you read a SC question, can you see the grammar point it is testing? Same for CR, can you tell the reasoning in it? When you read the article in RC, do you get the big picture first before you try to remember all the details? If not, you might not have done enough.

About the reading speed, you need to step back and see how you read now. I used to read slowly, because I was trying to catch all the details in the article. The problem of this approach is that most of the details are useless. There are limited questions on details. Moreover, your reading will be slowed down and you might miss the big picture -- what the article is trying to say. There is normally only one theme in every article -- conclusion. The rest will be supporting materials. Catch the theme and sort out the supporting evidence (details) is the key. What you should do is read the first few sentences in each paragraph very carefully and think hard. Try to connect the meanings and see what the article is all about. Skim through the details. For example, if the first sentence of a paragraph says an experiment on rats has proven that the drug is very effective. Then it elaborates on how the experiment was conducted. Then you know what this paragraph is all about. You do not have to pay much attention to the details of the experiment. Just skim thorugh and maybe find some key words. Unless asked later for such details, you might not even have to come back to the details.

Develop your own approach. Also find the moderators for each section and send them short messages with your question. The way you ask questions above, we do not know what specific problems you have and we cannot do much about it.

Good luck!

我和你情况差不多 就比你晚几天考试

既然知道自己哪里是弱项 有针对性的进行突击 我觉得应该会有些效果的  

再说了 不要把考试看那么重  反正来不及改期 倒不如把这次当成演练好了 这样没有压力 心态好一些 因郁闷而浪费的时间也少一些 还可能拿满意分数哦   呵呵  我就是这么安慰自己的

让我们一起加油吧

Mindfree 真的很感谢你的回复

首先我想说在CD中有很多我敬佩的牛牛，而你是其中之一，所以当我看到你的回复，心中真的很开心，今天我彻底失眠，后来去翻了一下纪录，我还差一天可以改考试日，而我想这个改变应该是现在的我必须要去做的，因为现在的状态去考试，也只是浪费时间罢了！

在失眠当中，我反复的思考我的问题点，我想是因为在这一个月中，我把重心全部放在修辞与逻辑上，阅读完全未下工夫，导致阅读速度慢且易中ETS的陷阱选项；另外，就像你所说，我把每一个细节每一个字都当成重点来读，而造成了时间的流逝，所以我会重新调整我的心态来面对！请大家指教

另外，谢谢Girl0904的打气，祝你考试顺利！

我正郁闷，都萌生了一丝是否要改期的念头，看到这个贴后坚决要好好复习如期考试。

今天我第一次做老倌的13套，做的是第13套（前面打成第一套了），结果数学错了10个语文错了10个（各粗心了2个），而且语文部分到时间时还有4题没做。虽然最后这4题都做对了，可考试时就没有这样的机会。

同时我的阅读也有仔细阅读全篇的坏毛病。检讨中！！！

我也有同感，读文章老是想一字不落的读完，有时候一不小心错过了，还再回头去看看。 怎么读英文报纸时就没有这个毛病呢，郁闷。。。

是的是的。看报纸我很多时候还只看个标题就算了，可做阅读题不把每一个单词看一遍我心难安。也不知道是不是因为我阅读能力有限的缘故？只有继续努力了。
