舊版考試終止

            分 數(shù) 對(duì) 比           

新版考試出現(xiàn)后，GMATer們最關(guān)心的問(wèn)題就是我的目標(biāo)分?jǐn)?shù)會(huì)有什么變化嗎？新舊兩版分?jǐn)?shù)如何換算呢？

對(duì)此，官方給出的回答是不看分?jǐn)?shù)看百分位數(shù)，比如舊版的700對(duì)應(yīng)的是89%percentile，對(duì)標(biāo)新版的645；舊版的760對(duì)應(yīng)的是99%percentile，對(duì)標(biāo)新版的705。改革之后，咱們的目標(biāo)就是645啦，有木有感覺(jué)更容易實(shí)現(xiàn)啦？！醒醒吧，錯(cuò)覺(jué)錯(cuò)覺(jué)，首先新版考試未必更容易，速度要求更高，其次水漲船高，GMAT是選拔性考試喲，你的目標(biāo)是超越別人?。。?/p>

兩 版 考 試 對(duì) 比        

  再送個(gè)表格，幫大家清晰地了解兩版考試的區(qū)別

簡(jiǎn)單總結(jié)：

1.考試時(shí)長(zhǎng)變短，縮短將近1個(gè)小時(shí) 

2.去掉寫作和句子改錯(cuò) 

3.提升對(duì)數(shù)據(jù)和圖表分析的要求

QUANTITATIVE REASONING

Problem Solving Question

(A) $187.50

(B) $195.00

(C) $208.33

(D) $215.00 

(E) $243.75 

Answer: (B)

VERBAL REASONING

Reading Comprehension Question

Directions:

The questions in this group are based on the content of a passage. After reading the passage, choose the best answer to each question. Answer all questions following the passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.

Question:

Schools expect textbooks to be a valuable source of information for students. My research suggests, however, that textbooks that address the place of Native Americans within the history of the United States distort history to suit a particular cultural value system. In some textbooks, for example, settlers are pictured as more humane, complex, skillful, and wise than Native Americans. In essence, textbooks stereotype and depreciate the numerous Native American cultures while reinforcing the attitude that the European conquest of the New World denotes the superiority of European cultures. Although textbooks evaluate Native American architecture, political systems, and homemaking, I contend that they do it from an ethnocentric, European perspective without recognizing that other perspectives are possible.

One argument against my contention asserts that, by nature, textbooks are culturally biased and that I am simply underestimating children's ability to see through these biases. Some researchers even claim that by the time students are in high school, they know they cannot take textbooks literally. Yet substantial evidence exists to the contrary. Two researchers, for example, have conducted studies that suggest that children's attitudes about particular cultures are strongly influenced by the textbooks used in schools. Given this, an ongoing, careful review of how school textbooks depict Native Americans is certainly warranted.

Which of the following would most logically be the topic of the paragraph immediately following the passage?

(A) Specific ways to evaluate the biases of United States history textbooks

(B) The centrality of the teacher's role in United States history courses

(C) Nontraditional methods of teaching United States history

(D) The contributions of European immigrants to the development of the United States

(E) Ways in which parents influence children's political attitudes

Answer: (A)

Critical Reasoning Question

Directions:

For this question, select the best of the answer choices given.

Question:

Winter storms in Lakeville cause icy road conditions, which the Department of Public Works alleviates by applying road salt after storms. It takes far less salt to prevent icy conditions by applying salt before a winter storm, however, than it does to melt the ice after the fact. In order to reduce the environment damage caused by salt on Lakeville’s main roads, the department plans to apply salt to those roads whenever a winter storm is predicted.

Which of the following would be most useful to establish in evaluating the plan’s chances for success?

(A) How much road salt costs the department

(B) How frequently winter storms predicted for Lakeville fail to arrive

(C) What proportion of Lakeville’s minor roads are salted after storms

(D) How often Lakeville experiences winter storms

(E) What percentage of the accidents that occur as a result of icy conditions on Lakeville’s roads occur on minor roads

Answer: (B)

        DATA INSIGHTSData Sufficiency Question

Directions:

This data sufficiency problem consists of a question and two statements, labeled (1) and (2), in which certain data are given. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. Using the data given in the statements, plus your knowledge of mathematics and everyday facts (such as the number of days in July or the meaning of the word counterclockwise), you must indicate whether:

●Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.

Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.

●BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

●EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

●Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data specific to the problem are needed.

Question:

When all the boxes in a warehouse were arranged in stacks of 8, there were 4 boxes left over. If there were more than 80 but fewer than 120 boxes in the warehouse, how many boxes were there?

(1) If all the boxes in the warehouse had been arranged ins tacks of 9, there would have been no boxes left over.

(2) If all the boxes in the warehouse had been arranged in stacks of 12, there would have been no boxes left over

(A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

(C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.

(E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Answer: (A)

         選擇哪版考試？        

官方給的建議是考試前先咨詢自己的目標(biāo)項(xiàng)目，看項(xiàng)目建議參加哪版考試。從實(shí)際操作看，新版考試最早也要10月份之后才能考試（一般頂尖商學(xué)院的申請(qǐng)也是10月份就開(kāi)始了），且新版考試中Data insight科目的真題遠(yuǎn)少于其他單項(xiàng)的題目，不確定和不穩(wěn)定性極大增加，所以對(duì)于今年申請(qǐng)的學(xué)員，建議參加舊版考試，早早考出成績(jī)，在別人還沒(méi)考試的時(shí)候就已經(jīng)開(kāi)始申請(qǐng)，想想就痛快！

今年申請(qǐng)的備考建議

第一，打好基礎(chǔ)，背一遍GMAT詞匯和數(shù)學(xué)術(shù)語(yǔ)，掌握看長(zhǎng)難句的核心方法，確保自己對(duì)文本的理解精準(zhǔn)到位，咱們要對(duì)標(biāo)的是native speaker大學(xué)畢業(yè)時(shí)的閱讀理解水平。需要資料的童鞋可以聯(lián)系小編領(lǐng)取新東方獨(dú)家的GMAT詞匯，數(shù)學(xué)術(shù)語(yǔ)和長(zhǎng)難句的資料。

第二，建立知識(shí)體系，運(yùn)用高效的方法論練習(xí)。想要自學(xué)的同學(xué)（需要資料的聯(lián)系小編）先看一遍OG的數(shù)學(xué)知識(shí)點(diǎn)，做一遍OG的數(shù)學(xué)題目，查漏補(bǔ)缺數(shù)學(xué)遺忘的點(diǎn)，同時(shí)通過(guò)做題感知GMAT數(shù)學(xué)考察的側(cè)重點(diǎn)（邏輯性，全面性，結(jié)果導(dǎo)向性），積累常見(jiàn)的易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)和難點(diǎn)。語(yǔ)文部分建議同學(xué)看一下曼哈頓語(yǔ)法和邏輯Bible，學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)法和邏輯的方法論，然后做OG的題目，鞏固方法論。做題中如果發(fā)現(xiàn)自己錯(cuò)題比較多，比如準(zhǔn)確率低于70%，建議先報(bào)班學(xué)一下方法論之后再繼續(xù)練習(xí)，提升備考效率，少走彎路。

第三，方法論學(xué)完后做綜合練習(xí)，套題以及?？迹绕涫悄？?/strong>，一定要多做，可以做官方送的兩套免費(fèi)的，也可以聯(lián)系小編要新東方專屬的?？?。連續(xù)的12個(gè)月內(nèi)只有5次考試機(jī)會(huì)，雖然不一定會(huì)用完，但是考完2次后會(huì)莫名地緊張，越考越緊張，所以最好的方案是練習(xí)充分后爭(zhēng)取首考出分。
