[转帖]Three important keys to GMAT reading comprehension
Three important keys to GMAT reading comprehension
by GMATerKiller
In GMAT Reading Comprehension, there're three keys you have to master:
1. After reading the whole article, you have to parse its logical organization, making sure where its main idea is, how the author organizes this article, what the primary attitudes of all kinds of roles are, etc.
2. After reading each question or corresponding choices, you have to decide on what you can depend to rapidly retrieve the corresponding parts from the passage, sometimes on the noun phrase such as names, sometimes on key words such as "Except/Least", sometimes on actions or positions.
Remember: Never answer any question if you couldn't find the original parts from the passage. Never, ever, ever, especially taking for granted the so-called answers.
3. After retrieving the corresponding parts from the passage, you have to assess how the author paraphrases the original sentences using thesaurus substitutes.
Remember: Never take for granted any choice only based on a wee bit vague impression in your mind simply after the first-time rough scanning.
If you can summarize a set of rules on which ETS depends of how to paraphrase the best choices depending on the original in most cases, you'll find that you can answer a lot of questions with few errors at all.
After finishing, you'll find that you already read the entire passage at least 3 times, percolating deep down between the lines from layer to layer. |
