【心得/各科準備方式】
【修辭】

教材:老師講義三次、OG13 三次、PP3三次、PP2兩次
我覺得SC很重要的部分是,老師一上完課的那幾天要趕快複習,因為那是印象最深刻的時候,老師上完課後我有再一次把講義全部記熟一次,練習到瓶頸的時候,我就又回去把老師的講義看熟,記重要考點(平行、時態等),因為老師教的大部分是最重要最常出現的,每做一題我會確認每個選項的錯誤和正確的考點我都有記起來才會往下一題邁進,不會求快,如果有老師沒教到的細節考點,我會把它整理到老師給的「康康修辭滿分攻略本」電子檔裡,這個檔案真的很方便,可以把常忘的考點標紅色,增加細節考點
例如不同片語用法,最後就整理出屬於自己的葵花寶典!考前三天我就會把葵花寶典全部再走一遍,幫助自己回憶所有考點以應戰!

康康老師的修辭除了告訴我們重要的考點外,老師還專研GMAT專研的很透徹,告訴我們很多GMAT出題者比較喜歡的用字,所以就越來越容易刪選項。很喜歡在字神上課的原因是老師教學真的超級用心,所有GMAT的練習題目、解答都整理好給我們電子檔,我們就不用再花錢去買題目了,也不用浪費時間上網找詳解。而且老師還給我們滿好用的程式安裝到電腦裡,可以把很多字典一起輸入,只要查一個字就可以一次查很多字典,查英文單字又更有效率。
 

【閱讀】
教材:補習班講義三次、PP2一次、OG一次(練習得比較少@@)
我覺得康老師的閱讀架構很好用,因為我的英文閱讀速讀不是很快,所以很難在短時間內把題目做對,所以一定要善加利用閱讀架構,看開頭的時候可以猜測後面的內容方向大概為何,例如看到開頭有個問題存在,後面可能就會講答案或解決方案最後可能有評論,掌握到整篇主旨後也比較容易做題。而且我在閱讀的時候也都是注意老師上課教的重要考點,一看到有立場、比較、對比出現就會看慢一點,把它稍微記憶起來。通常第一篇和第二篇我還是會整篇看完,超長的第三篇就看架構而已,第四篇通常沒什麼時間所以也只看架構,看題目掃描關鍵字找答案。

然後閱讀JJ我覺得滿有用的,中了的話,一開始讀時發現是JJ就可以先看題目了,然後回原文確定答案就可以馬上選了,因為有看JJ所以從原文找答案也快很多,但前提時有認真把JJ的脈絡記起來,像助教整理的一樣。我第一次就只隨便看了幾篇就去考了,所以發現好像是JJ的時候,還是不太知道整篇在講什麼,還是像做新題一樣,如果我不會就會很緊張,如果是這樣倒不如不要看JJ影響心情,所以我覺得要看JJ就要認真看,第二次考時,我看JJ三次,第三次是看到標題自己默想整篇的內容,所以很快,不要只是隨便掃過一次,我覺得那樣其實等於沒看,考試沒幫助。雖然機經我考的時候有用,但是我考前兩天沒有看,這是為了不要讓自己過度依賴機經,到考場的時候不會因為不是機經就慌張。

另外,我的閱讀是用DVD補課的,一開始以為學習效果會受影響,不過字神的補課制度比其他補習班彈性很多,錄影的畫面有子母畫面,有一個可以看整體畫面和老師,一個就固定在電子白板上,所以非常清楚,不像以前補習,老師只要跑來跑去,錄影畫面就要跟著跑來跑去,如果錄影大哥或大姐不小心睡著畫面還有可能沒跟上老師,那連抄筆記都有困難了。在字神補課就很方便啦,不會擔心如果上不到正課學習效果會影響很大,而且如果老師教到比較簡單的部分還可以快轉,快轉倍數有很多可以選(1.1、1.2、1.3一直到2.0倍),所以可以挑選最適合自己的速度(以前我在其他補習班只有很少個倍數可以選,所以不是速度太快就是速度沒差)。
 

【邏輯】
教材:補習班講義兩次、OG13兩次、PP3兩次、PP2一次
一開始CR我是有點靠感覺的,但常常靠感覺就是會錯,所以後來我就重看王祥老師的講義,老師給我們最簡單的規則(主題和方向),可以套用到幾乎所有題目,很容易理解;把上課時老師說的每個選項仔細研讀,分辨錯誤和正確選項是老師前面整理的哪一種,(例如:題目講未來的事,答案不可講過去的事;答案不當限縮範圍…)還有重要的邏輯推論整理成葵花寶典,CR不能只背考點的口號,要多做題目才會了解那是什麼意思。

然後我會像老師說得要注意前題和結論,尤其是結論,所以我看完題目會不斷默念結論,確定結論的方向才會去看選項,不然很容易看選項時又失去方向感了,每個選項看完就問自己方向對不對,就像老師耳提面命的,多做練習就會覺得比較得心應手了。平常練習時除非是到最後面11題沒時間了,不然會把五個選項都看完,太快就選答案常常會寫錯。

CR的JJ對我也是有幫助,因為有考到一樣的,我JJ看了3次題目所以背景滿了解的,真正考試時如果到後面時間沒剩多少,我就沒有很仔細看題幹,只把結論看好就去選答案了。

 

【計量】 
教材:補習班講義做完
我是跟著王祥老師的教學走,老師很多解法都很容易理解,而且也很快,像是有種題目老師會畫四宮格解,真的很好用,幾乎畫完答案就出來了,而且又超常考,老師總是教我們最根本的作法,不是總是一直猜數字,一直代數字進去,因為所有可能數字沒有代完就很難確定沒有例外,且如果考試緊張就更難代到關鍵數。

我覺得把老師給的講義全部寫完就差不多了,因為裡面就包括了所有重要的考點了,考前再看個機經我覺得考高分不是很難。我一樣也是把常見考點整理成自己的葵花寶典,考前就只要看JJ和葵花寶典而已。我的整理裡面也會有重要數學的英文單字,免得忘記了。
 

【寫作】
我AWA4.5,還算可以。我是先考托福才考GMAT,所以打字速度不用從頭練起,所以我大概考前兩個月寫7、8篇,目的是從威廉老師的佳句裡整理出自己的模板(我覺得自己整理的,比較容易記起來),我沒有模板一定會打很慢,字數可能就不多。我的整理有錯誤對比、以偏概全等的萬用句型,我覺得可能也是因為萬用句型滿多的,所以分數沒辦法更高吧,不過因為再拼Verbal,AWA比較這麼多時間準備,有機經的時候練個5、6篇找手感,就上考場了。

我的模板可以給大家參考:

The memo recommends that
In order to make the recommendation more persuasive, the author cites two facts of
At first glance, the author’s argument appears somewhat convincing, but further reflection reveals that it is based on some dubious assumptions.
 
Initially, the author provides no assurances that ~
 
Secondly, even if
 
Moreover, the fact that~ does not prove that~
                     does not necessarily mean that
 
To sum up, the recommendation that ~ is unwarranted and unpersuasive due to the unsounded evidences and vulnerable assumptions.
To better justify/bolster the argument, the arguer should provide additional information of ~ and careful consideration of ~ to demonstrate the suggestion would definitely work.
 
 
論點思考:
  1. 其他條件固定As we all know, in a good comparison each condition should be the same except that is compared and valued.
  2. (報導數字不是真實數字)Besides, we’d better investigate the number of car accidents in person for reported number does not necessarily equal the true number of ~
  3. (需考慮其他因素來決定政策好壞) the speaker suggests nothing about other alternative solutions. Only after weighing the pros and cons of all feasible measures can we make an optimum choice.
  4. 成本效益分析: The first issue to be addressed is whether increased labor costs justify large capital expenditure to improve the work environment.
  5. To consider this, a cost benefit analysis must be made
  6. 只考慮財務面: This argument also relies on the idea that companies solely use financial sense in analyzing improving the work environment. This is not the case.

Finally one must understand that

  1. Survey問題

The author maintains that +O, according to the survey of ~
Nevertheless, it is not clear concerning the scope and validity of that survey.
For example, the sample may not have been representative of +O, asking only those +M
Unless the survey’s respondents are typical of the overall population of ~, the author cannot rely on it to predict~
The survey may have been 5 pages, with 3 questions regarding~

  1. Moreover, need to know the exact questions asked by

the survey could have asked+ O if (舉錯誤問法),which may have swayed residents towards river sports.
Unless the survey is fully valid, reliable, and representative, it cannot be used to effectively support the argument.

  1. 增加%多但其實增加數量少

The increase inconsumption by 30 percent is insignificant in view of the fact that~
It is possible that only four accidents happened in Panoply and about five accidents happened in this company. If that is the case, there is no significant difference.

  1. ★過度簡化(oversimplification):找更多factors.

The author leaves out some significant factors that should be addressed to substantiate the argument.
不合邏輯的推論(illogical reasoning)或無法檢驗的論點
The argument is based on the writer’s own speculation rather than on the result of a study or on the government-released information. What is worse, he is trying to pass his speculation off as an established fact.

  1. 錯誤類比

*I wonder whether the comparison of two things suggests that they are similar when they are, in fact, distinctively different.
*The argument wrongly assumes that X and Y are analogous.

  1. 以偏概全(overgeneralization):

第一段:The author makes a logical connection between A and B, but he does not supply enough information to support its generalization.
最後一段:The evidence that the author lays out is not conclusive because only one example is rarely sufficient to establish a general conclusion.

  1. 誤用統計數字:

第一段:The argument makes a seemingly attractive claim, but its persuasive force is seriously weakened by the misinterpretation of its statistics.
最後一段:The author fails to interpret those statistics correctly.
 
Body programy最後一句小結:

  1. Unless the author can rule out such possibilities, I simply cannot be swayed by the prediction that~
  2. If so, the author must modify the prediction accordingly.
  3. To warrant his recommendation, a wider comparison ~is essential.
  4. Since S has failed to account for this possibility, the claim that…is completely unwarranted.
  5. Without ruling out these and other alternative explanations for ~, the mayor cannot reasonably infer~
  6. Unless S can convince me that these scenarios are unlikely I cannot accept S’s recommendation that S follow(原V) B's example.
  7. There are no data or information for those two important factors
  8. Unless S can convince me that these scenarios are unlikely I cannot acceptS’s recommendation that S follow(原V) B’s example.

pace
PACE超級重要,因為有時候做對一題是因為看很久全部都了解了,但時間限制是殘酷的,要練習在時間壓力下,非常專心的閱讀得很快,在短時間把題目做對。我這是用GWD1-19練習,但因GWD常做到做過的題目,所以我還是假裝自己在做新題,很認真看完題幹才作答,如果直奔答案做完會自以為很厲害,其實沒有。
 
心態
讀書的時候不強求快,要確認你有念進去的時候才往下走,每次練習都會做記號,(每做一次就會標v(做對了!) 、O(做對但沒有在1:30秒內做完)、X(做錯了!)、星號
很重要!)
如果跟我一樣是很容易緊張,緊張到可能會看題目看不進去,還一直看時間慢慢流逝而更緊張的人,那我建議考前不要把自己逼得太緊,正常作息,練習錯太多也不要太氣餒,不要一直想考不好後果不堪設想,這樣會讓考試時太緊張而失常。我想我就是因為心態調整過來,才能在二戰的時候平常心考試,發揮比平常表現更好的結果。
