背景:专八,3年前GMAT710,TOEFL106, 二战目标750+,日期9月26日。不报考,无行动。刚刚把《做更好的自己》第三版前半部分速度扫完,key take away,1.初步进行学校选择,2.刷分是件高投资回报率的事情.3.不能一边工作一边刷分的同学是很难在MBA里面生存的.希望大家一起沟通,一起提高,相互借鉴,采用针对自己的学习方法,一同杀G成功!

第一部分:基础篇 (笔记贴:CR5楼,SC6楼,IR+ESSAY20楼,RC21楼) 单词+OG第一遍+Prep1
7/26           Kick off: 买单词书,购OG,开始背单词
7/28-29     OG Pre-Test  
7/30-8/4    OG RC, Vocabulary (Word List 1-20)
8/5-8/7      OG CR    
8/8-8/14    OG SC, 正确率81%.  Word list(21-30)        
8/15            Quantatative - 题型总结,这个部分还是挺有必要看的,回顾下N年前熟悉的知识,看看英文单词,Over
8/16            Quantatative - Problem Solving / Data Sufficiency 咱中国人的数学就没什么好攻的了,认识单词,仔细点,就没什么问题了,现在以扫题心算扫答案的方法看,一晚上完成PS部分。数学部分ROI不高,先以其他题型为主。
8/17            AWA 在30分钟内写了一篇文章,与范文颇有差距,逻辑和论点类似,七宗罪不是关键,关键是语言。
8/18            Integrated CR
8/19            Word List(31-40)  rep1
要拿高分,单看OG是远远不够的,开始第二部分——加强篇。

9/17-9/18       PREP2012 (Q50, V39,730) 楼主需要非常诚实地面对这个离目标还差20分的分数,然后做出最后的冲刺,还有一周,有挑战更要有行动。

第三篇——冲刺篇 GWD,PREP, OG, J J, Vocabulary(Review*2)
9/19-24            Word List(1-16), 第二遍OG SC,GWD16, J J (Juicy RC)忙着看RC,CR JJ中。。。
9/26                  考试 - 成败在此一举        
9/28                  笔者要去中国各地流浪了, 探索下人生的意义。http://blog.sina.com.cn/ibaige

GWD

Well, I have 2 friends with GMAT  760 and 780. They only do OG and Prep.  I assume these two are the most simple and efficient way, so I put GWD as backup only if I have sufficient time.

CR - OG13+Manhattan+砖头书cxd的GRE+GMAT+LSAT逻辑推理

OG CR - 三大题型总结:        
Fact A => Conclusion B,        
A
Construction        
1) GAP
A=>C, C=>B,Gap加强,否Gap削弱。        
2)
他因:Fact C=> Conclusion,排他因加强,列他因削弱。        
3
Fact A=> Conclusion D,不相关,排除        
       
B
Evaluation        
1
)加强:补充假设,排除他因。        
2
)削弱:削弱假设,列举他因。        
3)  
比较:ACBC=>B不好,假设A+B不比A好,无关选项:ADBD好,无关盈利性/成本、经济因素、市场趋势等。        
4
)错误选项:讨论范围与对象不相关,讨论对象一分为二,未来无关现在,可能不代表会发生,比率不代表绝对值,小样本不代表总体。比较对象除比较项目外其他因素不一致。部分反例不代表平均/整体情况。        
       
C) Plan
       
1
)可否成功:评估必要假设。排除计划失败原因,加强计划支持。        
2
)促使成功:加强论点。        
3
)阻碍成功:提出计划弱点        
4
)错误选项:影响主题其他方面,无关计划本身成功。选项降低计划成功可能性。其他对象成功不代表讨论对象成功。对象过去失败不表示现在失败可能性提高。不影响计划成败的无关后果。

Manhattan CR笔记
结构:
前提+(假设)=结论
注意:前提-〉中间结论(A-〉最终结论(B),区分AB的方法:A, therefore B, 则A为中间结论,反之B为中间结论。

步骤:
看问题-〉分解Argument-〉定目标-〉排除错误选项

题型:
A.    结构题:
1) Describe the role(Bold Face) - Methoda. CPX: Conclusion-Premise-X(Others), b. CFO: Conclusion-Fact-Opinion
2) Describe the argument
B.假设题:
1)(unstated)Assumption: 假设一般是必要不充分的,加强/支持结论。若剩两个选项很难判断,可取非,削弱题目结论的正确。 错误选项:无关内容,削弱结论,无关比较。
2) Evaluate,回答YesNo可以一个加强结论,一个削弱结论。
3) Flaw (sth. illogical), 问题中常常出现Flaw而没有If True.答案与假设相关,削弱结论。
4)Strengthen
5)Weaken
C:证明题:
Inference(must be true), Explain a discrepancy(eliminate discrepancy or paradox)

4类主要题型)找假设,归纳结论,加强,削弱;
7个小题型)解释一个事件或矛盾,分析题干结构,评价结论,解决问题,提供例子,重述结论,模仿(类比)
7种次要的问题类型
1.解释一个事件或矛盾(explanation&paradox题):答案一般会提供一个新的事实或前提来证明矛盾并不成立,或者解决矛盾。
2.分析题干结构(句子作用题Bold Face)(1)分析方法:分辨出结论,支持项,削弱项(2)若题目只有一句话,答案可能会有以下几种情况:A.反驳对方前提;B.引入一个新的前提来削弱对方结论;C.引入新的前提来支持自己的结论。(在A refute B的题目中)
3.评价结论:答案一定要可以test题目!
4.解决问题:正确选项会以一个新的前提的形式出现,可以抵消或者解决问题。最好不要附加假设!错误选项一般会和问题有关系,但并不能解决问题。
5.提供例子:举个例子来证明题目中的结论!
6.重述结论:Summarize题目中的关键点!不要添加其他东西,包括假设!
7.模仿(方法类比和结构类比)





砖头书cxdGRE+GMAT+LSAT逻辑推理
模式


B,A模式:B后发生,由B(survey, data, study,etc)得到解释性结论A,assumption多为A是唯一的原因,假设题结论注意找否定词。
A.B模式,原因A得到结果B。A=>B

关键词
unless: if not. e.g. not A unless B:A->B,非B->非A. A unless B: 非A->B,非B->A
A if B: B->A
A only if B: A->B
A if only B: B->A
A if and only if B: A<->B
A is necessary to B: B->A
Whenever, whoever, wherever=if

假设题:必要条件:结论成立,假设必须成立,反之,假设不成立,结论不成立。
加强/削弱题:有支持/削弱作用,非充分非必要。
注意范围差异:any, all,none, everyone, each, no, in general, on the whole
注意限制:only, solely

加强题四大方式:
A与B之间有联系
A可行或有意义
除了A以外没有别的因素影响B
直接支持B
Notes:1.支持题的关键在确定支持的内容,然后用支持内容的核心关键词去定位选择
2.排除他因很有可能出现否定词A and B is not different / is the same

削弱题四个方面:
A与B之间没有联系或者有差异
A不可行或者A没有意义
除了A意外还有别的因素影响B
直接说B不正确
Notes:找对削弱对象(削弱谁的哪个关键点,例题:Page134,Q6)削弱not A->B的两个思路,一是A->B,二是A->A',A'->B(例题,P142,Q17)

评价题:
回答Yes/No,一个支持,一个削弱

归纳题:肯定成立的推理
归纳五种题型:
推断(imply, infer, believe)
结论(原文可得出什么结论)
支持(原文支持什么结论)
中心思想(原本表达/强调什么)
完成段落

解释题:解释现象/结论;解释差异/矛盾

逻辑应用于技法:
指出推理缺陷
有疑问的技法
逻辑描述
类比论证
对同一词语有多种定义
二人对话
划线句子的作用

曼哈顿笔记:解题思路:题意,分段,选择排除,代回原句
考点:主谓,平行,指代,修饰,时态,比较,习语,零散知识点
语法:语法,语义,词汇选择、位置、搭配,冗余,简洁
1)词汇选择:注意形似意义不同的词汇。除非句意逻辑错误,否则不改变情态动词原意。
2)词汇位置:注意only,all, 副词和形容词位置,主谓位置。
3)词汇搭配:主谓一致,指代一致,单复一致
4)冗余:
Rise-increase; sum-total; regain/repeat-again; enable- be able to; attempt-try;other than- opposite; drop-decrease; sufficient-enough;although - but;注意出现多个描述时间的词,如annual-each year-a year;previously-formerly-in the past;now-currently-presently.
5)简洁:只建议用语法和语义排除后,仍然有多个选项的时候使用。

用词:

Economic-经济(上)的; economical-节约的;有效的
Aggravate-加重,恶化; aggravating-令人愤怒的
Known as n.–被认为是,以…而著称;known to be adj.知道是…的;known for因…而闻名
loss of(no longer in possession of); lose in(decline in value)
Mandate-命令;have a mandate-拥有选举权
Native of- 一个人出生在某地(person from) ;native to 某人来自某地/某物产自某地(species that originated in)
Rise –vi.上升(跟介词); raise-vt.举起;建立;唤起(跟名词)
Such as举例;like+n.好像'A do x as B do y.As表达像后跟完整从句。as+n表示作为n.
Try to do –努力去完成; try doing –尝试做
unqualifying没达到某个标准的; unqualified无资格的,完全的,不受限制的
lie lay lain(vt.)谎骗(vt.)位于[lie in];lay laid laid(vt.)躺下,搁放(vi.)下蛋
Farther距离;Further程度
must必须;should应该(moral obligation)

A)主谓(主谓同在,逻辑合理,单复一致,拨开插入语介宾短语找主谓)
单复数:
1)A and B +pl.| A,additive Phrase +sing.)
2)either or, neither nor(临近原则,以靠近谓语的词为准, 若只有either or neither, 没有or 、nor,则谓语动词用单数 ).
3)集合性名词:GMAT中一般跟单数谓语(People: agency, army, audience, class, committee, crowd, orchestra, team; Items: baggage, citrus, equipment, fleet, fruit, furniture)
4)Indefinite pronouns + sing.(Anyone,each, everyone, not one,etc.) SANAM单复数视情况而定:Some, All, None, Any, More/Most
Notes:Every dog and cats has paws. They each are great tennis players.In the Senate, the majority has coalesced into a unified voting block.
5) 一些表示学科的词(physics, mathematics)、一些活动(aerobics)和一些疾病(diabetes),谓语动词用单数。
6)倒装:主语的单复数向后看: Pong is a classic game from which HAVE descended many current computer pastimes.

平行:
考察结构平行前,需要判断逻辑是否平行. 主要平行标志:
1)常用:A,B,and C, both...and...;or;either...or...;not..but...;not only...but also...;rather than; from...to...;
2)短语:x acts as y;distinguish x from y; x is the same as y; as x, so y;estimate x to be y; x is good, and so too is y; between x and y, x instead of y; x, such as y; compared to x, y; x is known to be y, think of x as y; consider x y; x is less than y; x is thought to be y; in contrast to x, y; make x y; view x as y; declare x y; mistake x for y; whether x or y; x develops into y;
3)连接动词
Be动词各种形式;连接宾语解释主语是什么的连接动词:appear, become, feel, grow, look, remain, represent, resemble, seem, smell, sound, stay, taste, turn.


代词
必须有先行词(必须是名词,而非形容词或所有格),先行词和代词必须合理(A term refers to sth rather than is sth),单复数一致;注意指代模糊。
Notes: that, those可以指代new copy,而it, they或其它人称代词只能指代完全相同的事物。若new copy的单复数与先行词不同,则必须重复先行词。 (eg. Her company is outperforming the companies of her competitors)。Don’t use this,these,that ,those in place of nouns(this, these后面必须跟名词)

修饰语形容词修饰名词代词, 副词修饰名词代词以外的词. adj+adj+noun, adj修饰名词;
adv+adj+noun,adv修饰adj,adj修饰noun.名词和名词修饰语应该位置相连.
修饰语,修饰语,修饰对象=>修饰语,修饰对象,主语(Better)
关系代词:who/whom指人,which指物,GMAT认为that指物,whose可指人/物。Which和whom可以跟在介词后面。Where指具体地址,in which指metaphorical place(condition, situation, case, circumstances, arrangement).
Use comma with non-essential modifiers, but not with essential modifiers. The mansion, which… (non-essential); The mansion that…(essential);
Which只能指代物,不能指代整个从句。


修饰
只在必要的时候使用完成时态:动作过去开始持续至今的用现在完成时;动作在另一动作之前,且必须强调吃顺序的时候使用过去完成时。
虚拟语气(Hypothetical & Command)
A) Hypothetical (if, as if, as though)
1) General Rule with no uncertainty: If present, then present.
2) General Rule with some uncertainty: If present, then can or may
3) Particular Case (in the future) with no uncertainty: If present, then future.
4) Unlikely case (in the future): If hypothetical, then conditional. E.g. If S ate pizza tmr, then she would become ill.
5) Case that never happened (in the past): If past perfect, then conditional perfect. E.g. If S had eaten pizza yesterday, then she would have been ill.
 6)用WERE表示TO BE: If I were a boy;
 7)GMAT中,if should/would… , …错
B) Command subjunctive
 Bossy Verb + THAT + subject + Command Subjunctive
 We propose that the school board disband.
 1) Only + Command Subjunctive: demand, dictate, insist, mandate, recommend, request, stipulate, suggest, and propose (Note: propose to do is right if there’s no second subject).
 2) Only + to do: advise, allow, forbid, persuade, and want
 3) Prohibit sb from doing sth
 4) I like ice cream, whether it be a, b, or c错,用法太旧,改为whether it is a, b, or c.
 5) Suggest表“建议”用虚拟,表“暗示”不用虚拟。

比较
比较内容逻辑上可比,结构上平行。
A do B than C:B和C需要是对等名词。如果C可以发出do B的动作,容易产生歧义。


固定用法-Page145 Idioms ListAGREE:The electrons are particles THE physicists AGREE EXIST.
AIDS:She AIDS her neighbor.She provides AID TO victims. AID FOR victims is available.Her AID IN WALKING the dog is appreciated.
AIM:If you aim for something or aim to do something, you plan or hope to achieve it.aim to do以...为目标; aim at针对;瞄准;If an action or plan is aimed at achieving something, it is intended or planned to achieve it. 旨在
ALLOW FOR:考虑到,顾及;Allow Time for Acceptance 预留时间来取得别人同意;allow room for 让出地位
APPEAR:appear as 扮演;appear adj.显得adj;appear to be 好像是;仿佛
BORDER:There were more conflicts taking place within the borders of states
CHANCE:one chance in ten 十分之一的机会
Credit认为或相信(某人)有(某种性质或成就等):Hugo CREDITS Sally WITH good taste.Sally IS CREDITED WITH good taste.
Develop into发展成为
DISINCLINED TO DO不情愿做
AT Fault有责任: The criminals ARE AT FAULT FOR BREAKING the law.
HELP:The Secretary-General thanks the Government of South Africa for its HELP IN securing their safe release.
ORDER:order somebody to do something命令某人去做某事;Order sth 点菜
OWE:He OWES money TO the government FOR back taxes.
Recognize as/to be:承认。。。是
Resemble (vt.)类似,像A neighbor of mine RESEMBLES my father.

GWD
GWD2 - Q10: be so adj…be so adj平行were it to do so是虚拟语气的倒装结构,相当于if it were to do so
GWD2 - Q19: possible & may语义重复
GWD5 - Q15: at a cost doing错,无此用法,at a cost of doing对
GWD5 - Q19: a group of...作the overbird family 同位语,of是所有格介词,所以用单数谓语
GWD6 - Q29: A synchronize with B AB同步,同时发生; one swimmer or more->one or more swimmers
GWD6 - Q32: include / among语义重复; the declining sale是不精确的表达,通常被the decline in sale取代
GWD6 - Q41: Less number错(thenumber is less than one-quarter the amount-〉there are fewer than one-quarter of thatamount
GWD7 - Q1  : ——和including重复
GWD7 - Q27: were to strike,could用于虚拟
GWD8 - Q37  Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles is believed to be the rate at which trees grow.倒装句,rate为单数,谓语动词为单数。
GWD9 - Q14: In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were produced in the United States, but in 1929 almost twice that number of trucks alone came off the assembly lines.
GWD10-Q28:  Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company’s severance package is available to workers even if they find a new job before they are terminated.
GWD13-Q13: IF ONLY(表示“如果…的话,仅仅是因为”,because优于in that)
GWD13-Q27: process不搭配by
GWD15-Q20: provide support for sth/doing sth
