年纪一大吧了，想不倒还要考试，10年前给ETS送了GRE/TOEFL几百美刀，现在一次就是半吊子，通货膨胀严重啊。

数学刚开始没几道机经，后来10道就多了。

有一道特有映像，差点错了

DS: whether 0.6x>0.9Y

1. X>y  2. x<1.5y

Answer is B, 靠逆向思维

AWA:

AI AI-111: The most effective business leaders are those who maintain the highest ethical standards.

AA: AA-64. The following appeared in a memorandum from the Director of Human Resources to the executive officers of Company X.

“Last year, we surveyed our employees on improvements needed at Company X by having them rank, in order of importance, the issues presented in a list of possible improvements. Improved communications between employees and management was consistently ranked as the issue of highest importance by the employees who responded to the survey. As you know, we have since instituted regular communications sessions conducted by high-level management, which the employees can attend on a voluntary basis. Therefore, it is likely that most employees at Company X now feel that the improvement most needed at the company has been made.”

还算比较好写，就是刚开始太紧张，读题就用了3分钟。

阅读：

1. 机场除冰, 有一题问ani-ice compared with di-icing 的优点， 答用的除冰剂（FPD)少, 还有一道 是antiice 的要求， 答能预测天气下雪

2. Canada Taxi

3.妇女制作potty

1、2、3 机经都提过，题目也不难

4. market self_regulation. 这道最难。文章很容易，2分钟可以精读一遍，但三个问题却太搞，花了我7～8分钟还没把握。都是推理题，难在文中定位。估计这次载在这上了

   建议大家注意时间控制。

SC:

SC 感觉和Prep差不多，有一道GWD 题：

1. that they have twice the likelihood to get osteoarthritis of the knee as do White women
2. that they are twice as likely as White women to get osteoarthritis of the knee
3. that their likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee is twice as much as White women
4. of being twice as likely as White women to get osteoarthritis of the knee
5. of having twice the likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee as White women

Answer is B.

感觉语法主要靠评选结构，主谓一致，分词形式，看懂Prep应有80%的正确率。剩余的是idiom， 我估计错了一些

CR：

CR不难，记住的机经都提了。

今天过桥时又想起一道CR。

某地有两座桥 A和B。现在A桥要维修（似乎是A桥还能通车，修收费站？），所以取消了toll。政府一看钱少了，就要增加B桥的toll by 20 cents。

问以下哪些可以support政府的决定？ 我选了大家不会为了20cents而cause more inconvenience.

总的感觉发挥一般。比GWD, 正式考试要容易一些，但考场上心情紧张，发挥可能受一些影响。本人的例子，考前才睡了4小时，上午7点晕晕的，一道考场一紧张，睡意倒是没了，可反应却迟钝了不少。另外，由于紧张，（feel too high), pace明显加快，也不利于长句的阅读和SC。总之，要控制自己。

一个多月的GMAT备考，从CD收获颇多。GMAT本身其实并不重要，很多时候就是学校的cutoff line,只要上了700，可能重要性就不大了。

Here is some data from Kellogg (Northwestern, top5 MBA program) GMAT score in last year:

http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/admissions/admissions/entering.htm

	UP TO 640	650 - 690	700 - 740	750 - 800
Enrolled Students	10%	23%	51%	15%
Total Applicants	16%	25%	45%	14%
Average Score				704

数据显示GMAT 对于录取几乎统计不相关(5%ERROR) (please choose which of following to support/weak/assume this assumption ）

但是，备考过程对于我们都是一个锻炼的经历， 不经历风雨，那见得彩虹，未来的leaders， 加油啊！

最后，祝大家考试顺利，申请成功。
