<<正文>>:
                                                                               
   數學心得文上次分享過了,這次如願可以分享一下V的準備方式。
                                                                               
   第一戰的經驗讓我對修辭很失望:前三題下來都是修辭,而且我都抓不出考點,
                                                                               
   導致最後Pace亂掉,開始爆衝,最後當然敗得很慘。
                                                                               
   一戰結束當天下午,一回到家我就擬了一份”GMAT二戰30天衝刺計畫表"
                                                                               
   (30天是因為換題後,我就會把準備重心移到當月JJ)。
                                                                               
   現在將內容細分,分享給各位戰友。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==修辭==
                                                                               
   SC是我準備起來最有心得的部分,最近有很多人都在討論,
                                                                               
   是不是現在GMAT修辭出題考點改變,已經和OG,PP有所不同?
                                                                               
   好像現在修辭都要看句意來解了?
                                                                               
   第一個問題,我覺得是沒有很大不同。
                                                                               
   但第二個問題的答案,我覺得是”Yes”.
                                                                               
                                                                               
   修辭(句意):的確很需要了解句意。一樣是考平衡,
                                                                               
   最後剩2,3個選項可能文法都沒有錯,但是誰和誰平衡呢?
                                                                               
   這時候就要進去讀選項,就會發現有些選項平衡後句意是不合邏輯的。
                                                                               
   一樣是考脫節,但到底脫節的句子在形容哪個主詞呢?
                                                                               
   這時候就要進去了解句子的意思。
                                                                               
   實戰考代名詞指代,劃線部分短短10個字而已,
                                                                               
   每個選項都有兩個they在同一個子句中,這時候要怎麼刪除答案?
                                                                               
   我選擇仔細讀句子的意思。因此,我二戰時就在寫完數學時,
                                                                               
   提醒自己,等一下修辭第一題我給我自己五分鐘,不要慌張,冷靜下來,
                                                                               
   先不要想直奔答案,選項一個一個刪去。
                                                                               
   建立了這樣的想法,我覺得這次的修辭比一戰時穩多了,
                                                                               
   每一題的考點我也都抓得出來。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   修辭(技巧):當然也有在用,這部分的某兔就幫助我很大,
                                                                               
   我絕對不相信技巧無用論,技巧雖然不是解題的關鍵,
                                                                               
   但他絕對是加快做題速度的撇步。非native speaker不用技巧的話,
                                                                               
   普遍很難在75分鐘內做完題目。
                                                                               
   不過這邊也要提醒各位,句意絕對大於技巧。
                                                                               
   實戰中我選了and also和改成進行式的答案,因為其他選項都是結構上的錯誤,
                                                                               
   我就優先排除了。(這邊僅供參考,畢竟小弟也不是考到760+,很有可能我也選錯了。)
                                                                               
   實戰中我碰到and they沒逗號,我也直接刪了。
                                                                               
   碰到比較結構,先比主詞修飾語放後面,
                                                                               
   套一句兔大說的”超漂亮的好不好”,我就排除另外三個答案。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   修辭(準備教材):一戰之後,我安排自己兩天做一次GWD,
                                                                               
   每個GWD有問題的題目,我都把他整題題幹複製貼上GOOGLE(這招很好用),
                                                                               
   優先找Manhatten Ron和飛騰網的解釋,其次找beatgmat。
                                                                               
   每一題每一個選項都仔細理解(爭議題除外),看多了可能就熟了,
                                                                               
   慢慢了解Gmat喜歡什麼樣的句子。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==Pace==
                                                                               
   一戰爆衝最後3題剩將近20分鐘的經驗,我決定好好的練習Pace。
                                                                               
   我給自己設定的Pace是22,23,18,12,但這個Pace是我的底線。
                                                                               
   也就是說,我嚴格限制自己練GWD時做完前11題,
                                                                               
   一定要剩超過53分鐘,前21題至少要剩超過30分鐘,以此類推。
                                                                               
   實戰時,我大約是20,20,15,20。我想實戰速度比較快的原因,
                                                                               
   應該是RC有機經,我讀文章速度會快很多。最後三題大約剩10分鐘。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==心態==
                                                                               
   看了很多版上大大的分享文,有些邊工作邊考試準備2個月左右一戰就破七百,
                                                                               
   甚至還有裸考740魔人,我知道我自己不是這麼會讀書的人,
                                                                               
   所以我只能付出更多努力,也更努力的去想出更好的準備方向。
                                                                               
   每堂兔大的課我都坐第一排,也都第一個到,錄音檔我回去至少聽了三遍。
                                                                               
   D大的課也是。他們應該覺得我是個難搞的奧客XD,不過還是很感謝D大和兔大,
                                                                               
   記得我第一次上修辭問兔大問題,問到晚上十二點鐘才離開,
                                                                               
   公車捷運都沒了。。。他們兩位很熱心。
                                                                               
   ==邏輯==
                                                                               
   CR的部分還是兔大,上課我覺得對我最有幫助的就是assumption”斷橋型”,
                                                                               
   學了這個觀念之後,support題和assumption有很大的進展,
                                                                               
   看JJ的時候也會比較清楚。另外我覺得運氣成分多少也有,
                                                                               
   這次CR我碰到GWD原題一題,JJ大概也有中三、四題。
                                                                               
   另外我覺得美X江老師的課也很精彩,每堂課錄音檔我至少聽了三遍以上,
                                                                               
   跑步聽、捷運上聽、健身房裡聽。聽到一些口訣都會背了。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==閱讀==
                                                                               
   RC的部分我挺沒有自信的,覺得我V部分一定是錯最多(自己寫GWD時也是相同情況),
                                                                               
   實                                                                               
   信心有點受挫,但還是保持冷靜。整篇一堆專有名詞解釋,
                                                                               
   我給自己設停損點,選了像樣的答案,就這樣過了三題。
                                                                               
   這篇應該錯的很慘,其餘三篇有中機經,寫起來就挺順的。
                                                                               
   我練習GWD的時候就是這樣,看得懂得有把握的RC正確率90%,看不懂的就是連錯。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==數學==
                                                                               
   還是提一下,一戰的經驗讓我以為,第一題數學應該都很簡單
                                                                               
   (一戰第一題是求五個數的平均數),但這一次第一題下來我就傻眼,
                                                                               
   題目看不太懂,最後推測一下題意好像是問,
                                                                               
   下列方程式x,y都有一組實數解除了哪一個?想了五分鐘就選一個感覺對的換下一題,
                                                                               
   但心情還是要冷靜,思緒才會清楚,最後一題題目,2~99之間的偶數合是多少,
                                                                               
   有點懷疑GMAT是不是第一題和最後一題出反了= =
                                                                               
                                                                               
   數學JJ的用法:很贊同D大的說法,數學JJ絕對不要”鑽研”答案。
                                                                               
   很多人背出的版本不同,那到底哪個對?
                                                                               
   我覺得只要知道算法,了解思路,考試的時候遇到什麼改變,
                                                                               
   變體(或也許根本只是機經背錯),也不用擔心。
                                                                               
   因為算法會了,相信自己的答案是最明智的。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==整理機經時程表==
                                                                               
   換題後五天先慢慢看數學,上完機經課以後再算1-2遍。
                                                                               
   換題七、八天後整理RC,最後考前三天把CR機經拿起來硬K,加減看。
                                                                               
   CR機經很不花時間,大約五小時就可以看完,
                                                                               
   五                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==特別感謝==
                                                                               
   裸考740魔人BenAffleck,一戰後我發站內信問他幾個準備的方針,
                                                                               
   他回我回了一整面,真是太熱心了!
                                                                               
   我老哥,遠在波士頓還寄新的閱讀JJ給我。(回台灣再考吧,你一定也可以700+)
                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==考場資訊==
                                                                               
   高雄考場很溫馨,只有四個位置而已,小小一個房間,和台北很不一樣。
                                                                               
   考場人員也比台北的親切,感覺壓力沒有這麼大。
                                                                               
   我是台北人,因為台北場報不到來報高雄場,推高雄考場。
                                                                               
                                                                               
   ==破700關鍵==
   我喜歡這個考試。因為我享受其中,所以準備起來特別有衝勁。
