What to do well in GMAT reading review

1. Understand the types of GMAT reading essay questions.

GMAT reading can be divided into two categories: one is the argumentative essay, in which the author explains the author's point of view, method, and claim through narrative explanations; The other type is critical essays, where the author comments on other people's opinions, and if they disagree, gives their own opinions and methods.

2. The article does not need to be read to understand the professional knowledge.

GMAT reading does not have to read professional knowledge, but mainly understands the relationship between sentences, between sentences and paragraphs, and between paragraphs.

3. Improve reading speed.

In addition to the difficulty of understanding the logic, there is also a test of the speed of reading. Generally speaking, according to the current GMAT test reading volume, candidates need to reach 150-160 words per minute to pass, so exercising reading speed is also the key for candidates to prepare for the GMAT.

4. Summarize the question routine.

Candidates preparing for the GMAT reading exam should summarize the reading question routines on the basis of doing more practice. Build a framework of routines, better understand the article, and answer questions without defeat. When doing GMAT reading exercises, candidates should improve their ability to grasp the structure of the passage and the test points.

This will help you save time in the exam, accurately grasp the test points, and quickly find the answers. With more practice, practice makes perfect.

5. Understand the thinking of the questioner.

If you want to quickly overcome the GMAT reading difficulty, you need to understand the thinking of the person who wrote the question. According to the questions, the original test points are inverted, what content of the original text is tested in the questions, whether you have paid attention to these contents and marked them, and what rules and characteristic words can be summarized for these contents. GMAT reading should not be confined to grammar, do not repeat it repeatedly, and the key is to read the meaning expressed in the sentence.

GMAT reading preparation requires a lot of time and effort on the part of test takers. If candidates can do a good job in preparing for the exam, they can not only save time in preparing for the exam, but also improve the efficiency of the preparation and fully prepare for the exam.

After completing the question, in addition to analyzing the cause of the error in the answer, for those questions that have not been done wrong, it is best to conduct a deeper summary and research on the solution idea, think about what the solution idea of this question is, whether there are multiple solution schemes, what defects or deficiencies you have from a certain solution plan, what kind of method is most suitable for you, and find out the fastest efficiency method. Although it may take a little time to find out the reasons for the five options of the questions, it is very helpful for the candidates to familiarize themselves with the questions and improve their ability to distinguish and analyze in terms of the overall review effect.

The first step of GMAT reading review is to need basic vocabulary, level 4 and 6 vocabulary is the most basic, TOEFL vocabulary is very important, GMAT has a lot of overlap with TOEFL and GRE vocabulary. Therefore, if you feel that your vocabulary is not enough, you can supplement it first.

After doing the OG, it is recommended to use the GRE to practice reading long passages, and strictly limit one article to 10 minutes. At first, you can only seek speed rather than accuracy, and force yourself to choose answers based on your feelings when you don't have enough time.

In the end, a long essay of 10 minutes should be achieved, and one of the ten questions should be wrong, and at most three questions should be wrong.

Have the opportunity to read magazines such as BusinessWeek, Times, Forture, etc., and the library has it.

If you read more about the GMAT test, you will find that there are actually a lot of repeated GRE words in it, which can be memorized without memorizing spontaneous combustion, as well as some idiomatic expressions. After getting acquainted with it, it will be easier to take the reading test.

There are many GMAT reading errors, which are not caused by a single reason, but are mostly caused by the test taker's own reasons.

In order to avoid a lot of GMAT reading errors, candidates must first lay a solid GMAT reading vocabulary, and a solid vocabulary foundation is the foundation to avoid many GMAT reading errors;

Secondly, it is the candidate's mastery of GMAT reading skills and accurate grasp of GMAT reading time.

In short, avoiding many GMAT reading errors is the ultimate goal of test takers.

GMAT reading tests the candidate's ability to extract and analyze information, and extracting key information is the most important, so the following and take a look at what content this GMAT reading examines.

1.Word memorization and comprehension of long and difficult sentences.

GMAT does not test the candidate's language ability, but builds on the candidate's good language level and then tests the logic, so the language test must lay a good foundation. Students with a small vocabulary need to memorize words constantly, and the memorization of words requires a lot and repetition.

Comprehension of long and difficult sentences requires grasping the central meaning of the sentence. Not all the ingredients in a sentence are useful.

2.Master the structure of the article.

The structure of the passage is the key to the overall thinking of the reading question. If you grasp the structure of the article, you will have a general understanding of the context of the article, and you will also have a general grasp of the general meaning of the article. This is also the biggest difference between GMAT reading and reading on other English exams.

3.Understand the attitudes of the characters in the Wenyan Sen chapter.

In addition to the literal meaning of the GMAT reading text, it can also express some non-literal meaning in the specific context. Understanding these meanings is also part of the GMAT Reading Test.

In the GMAT Reading question, test takers are asked about implicit content in an essay that is not explicitly stated, such as the author's subtle attitude towards a point of view, or the potential risks of a solution.

These questions require candidates to understand the basic meaning of the essay and feel the real meaning of what the writer wants to express in the writing.

4.Error option analysis.

In GMAT, the application of the elimination method is essential because the GMAT requires the test taker to make the optimal solution rather than the only solution, and the test taker needs to weigh and compare among the five options to choose the solution that best matches the original text.

Although this option is not 100% perfect, it can be chosen as long as it is more text-friendly than the others.

Not all GMAT candidates do well enough on the first test, and there are still quite a few candidates who are not satisfied. So how do you know if you did well in the exam? If you want to know what to do after the GMAT exam, don't be hungry and keep reading ......

1. Check the score. When it comes to checking scores, you may be a little confused about the scoring rules after the GMAT test. Isn't it possible to see the results after the exam? Why do you need to check the score?

Yes, according to the GMAT test process, candidates can see the Chinese and Math scores on the computer in the test room immediately after the test, but this is only a basic score and does not include the writing section, so this is not an official score report.

Candidates who wish to view the official score report containing all the individual items and the total score can check the results about 10 days after the end of the test.

2. Send points. Once you know the official scores, the next step is to send your scores. Although you can give your scores for free directly at the test center after the GMAT test, only four schools are free.

If some test takers only care about the test and still don't think about which schools to send, then they can wait until the scores come out to decide the score target.

3. Brush points. Not all GMAT test takers score well enough on the first test. In fact, there are quite a few candidates who are dissatisfied and then move on to the exam.

Although there is a 16-day gap between the two tests, GMAT admission spots are inherently difficult to get, and it is often difficult to get the nearest seat if you wait for the official transcript to come out and then re-score it. So if you see that your VQ score is not satisfactory after the exam and you decide to brush up on the score, please join the ranks of the exam seats as soon as possible.

IV. Application. Applying to go abroad is not just a matter of taking the GMAT test to get the results, other language tests, recommendation letters and a series of documents need to be prepared, don't take the GMAT and leave nothing behind, which delays the application process and affects your application arrangement.

5. Feedback. I believe that many GMAT test takers have used the GMAT test before the test and have benefited from it to a greater or lesser extent. The examination experience of candidates who have taken the exam before can be said to be an unwarranted gift from others.

To be a man is to have a grateful heart, because if you accept the benefits of others, you should also help others in the same way. After the exam, you can share some of your exam experience when your memory is still relatively good, and give back some real questions.

GMAT reading is theoretically more about testing students' critical thinking ability and information retrieval ability, both of which are very helpful for students in their future business school studies and writing. From a practical point of view, there are three main problems to be overcome: the structural information of the article (topic, argument, evaluation, position) - the background knowledge of the GMAT common test (the most basic is to master common words) - to do the questions.

Why should you have the structured information of the article?

The options for the topic are all about structured information, so structured information can help you quickly evaluate whether the options for the topic are correct.

Structured information can also help you quickly locate the answers to detail questions. For example, we may find that the question is related to a certain argument, so if we remember the argument and where it is, we can quickly locate it. There are even some detailed questions where the answers are directly related to the argument, such as the in order to question.

Why do you need to have a background knowledge of the GMAT test?

It can help to quickly read a new article with relevant context. For example, the most classic is the description of the law. An article on Indian water rights in the OG tells us that if we don't know a little about the law of the sea system and its practical application of American law, sometimes we don't even know what the question is asking.

Another example is science articles, in recent years, there are often articles related to the formation process of the moon and the characteristics of satellites. In business articles, although there will be fewer unfamiliar words, we are often disturbed by the unfamiliar meanings of some common words, such as factor, which means "insurance agency (business)" or "factoring (business)" in financial knowledge, if it is not clear, then it is difficult to understand the article.

Do the question? Of course, everything we do is to get the questions right, in fact, as long as we "read" the article according to the above methods, then most of the questions can be correct. In addition, although we can make a topic question by reading the structured information, we should also pay attention to the characteristics of accumulating the correct or wrong options of the topic of some similarly structured articles, and the common pitfalls of the topic question, which will improve our efficiency.

Regarding the details of the questions, we should master some of the same type of detail questions to do the method, not only to be able to do it correctly, but also to be fast, here we need students to improve their ability to retrieve and evaluate information in English.

The second thing to do at this stage is to understand the characteristics of the GMAT reading test. The GMAT Reading test is 30 minutes long, with a total of four passages, usually between 200-500 words in length, and 12-14 questions, on average, each question takes about 1 minute and 45 seconds; Each essay takes about 7 minutes, half of which is 3-4 minutes for reading and the rest for the title. The test interface faced by the test taker is the article on the left and the test question on the right, and only one question is displayed at a time, and the candidate will directly enter the next question after answering, and there is no chance to return for revision.

Reading word by word and understanding all the literal meanings does not mean that you are ready to answer the questions. Only when you have a "picture" in your brain and a clear mind can you answer questions quickly. So how to read it?

Read from structure to hierarchy. For each article, first extract the big structure, and then ** a little, what kind of content might be told around the structure. Then, read each paragraph carefully, according to the relationship between sentences in the paragraph, and then re-examine the paragraph, repeat the main content and organizational structure of the paragraph, and repeat the cycle to develop correct reading habits.

The third stage: practice the past papers and summarize the methodWhen students can quickly divide the structure of an article into levels, and fully understand the organizational structure and logic of the article, then they can enter this stage to start the practice of past questions, the practice method is to read the article first, do the structural hierarchy analysis, and then answer the questions. The focus of this stage is to understand the question type, summarize the question making method, and use it proficiently.
