這是我第三次考試了，第一次在大四的時候(580)，退伍後又考了一次(640)，本來以為夠用，沒想到兩年後局勢完全不一樣了。七月又去補了一次習，跟著美加進度把OG弄完，不過因為想拼拼看first round，考試時間報的比較早，OG複習完後只剩下兩個禮拜了。這兩個禮拜裡，GWD做了五回，PP做了三次(btw，PP測的分數真的蠻準的)，確實檢討；最後兩天就專心做機經。整個下來，我的感覺是，重要性：PP > JJ > GWD；PP題目跟實際上機考的感覺真的很接近，而GWD還是要重質不重量，否則只是浪費題目。
Verbal：我的閱讀一直有瓶頸，可能是單字量不夠，速度又慢，但短時間內閱讀能力真的很難大幅提升，所以準備時一直把重點在SC跟CR上。上機考只做了32題，不過最後分數還是可以有690，所以和我一樣閱讀衰敗、答題速度慢的朋友們，不要覺得灰心，盡可能去提昇答題的準確度吧。機經的部分可以好好把握，我只有在考前兩天看機經(想說降印象比降深刻)。閱讀的機經大陸同胞整理的很完整，我四篇都是JJ(雖然最後一篇來不及寫)，一起考的朋友考三篇也遇到了兩篇。修辭，邏輯部份的機經我只看了有GWD或PP原題的，總共找到十二題裡，修辭、邏輯就各遇到了一題。(有積陰德吧
)
Quant：要附議一下垂耳兔大的說法，數學準備應該重PP跟JJ，我自己的感覺是GWD的題目有點刁，應該比較屬於高分題，實際上機考的題目型態，跟PP比較像，有非常多的題目是重觀察、分析的。JJ的部分我做了一百多題，雖然碰到的不多(大概六、七題)，不過都是難題，對節省達題時間頗有幫助。
最後還是要給閱讀不好的朋友們打打氣，就算真的無法突破瓶頸，先想辦法自助，好好掌握SC跟CR，提高正確率，然後善用機經，加上點運氣，也是可以有不錯的成績的。
希望對大家有些幫助，加油加油！
一些JJ，快換題庫了，希望還來的及
AA: “Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.”
AI: “What education fails to teach us is to see the human community as one. Rather than focus on the unique differences that separate one nation from another, education should focus on the similarities among all people and places on Earth.”
RC:
(1) 個人儲蓄，personal saving
有些經濟學家說個人儲蓄的增加有利於公司借錢去投資，所以說要增加個人儲蓄。另一個觀點說增加個人儲蓄不行，假設大家都提高百分之10的saving，但同時也帶來消費的減少。這些消費的減少將影響公司的發展。公司可能就會裁員或者降低雇員工資。所以說，即使餘下的人還是增加百分之10的saving，總的個人saving數目也不會增加。然後就是問題了：
1、經濟學家覺得個人saving不多的話會怎麼樣?答案我選公司應該會更少的借錢投資。
2、主題題。
有人認為個人存款增加，available資金pool增加，企業會借更多錢去投資。但是企業是否決定投資取決於市場需求。據此分析，個人存款增加不會刺激企業再投資。舉例分析，因為個人存款增加，個人消費會減少，因而市場需求減少，從而導致企業裁員，available的資金pool也因此減少。
(2) GWD-24 原題，地震S,P波那題
多了一個題目，問哪一個例子跟地震學家用S波P坡測量地震深度就類似。忘了確實答案了，選有兩個測值那個
(3) 北美某野生kat尋獵習性 (也不長，兩段)。
說有兩個科學家在美國某處研究一種kat，野生的。從成年的這種kat對待獵物態度上可以看出這種kat的成年的會利用活的獵物去訓練他們比較old的pup學會捕捉獵物。這兩個科學家作了兩個實驗來驗證。第一個，說是他們給抓到獵物的成年kat聽pup的聲音錄音，被播放聲音的pup的年齡越小，成年kat殺死已經捕獲的獵物的機率越高。第二個，說搞了兩組kat觀察，一族kat喂拔掉毒刺活的蠍子（太殘忍了！！！！！！！），一組喂煮的很老的雞蛋（太沒有創意了！！！！！！）。後來發現喂活蠍子的那組的older pup慢慢就學會捕食了，喂雞蛋那組就不行。（大概是這個意思，最後一句很繞。）
問題有問這兩個實驗分別都有什麼意義，文章可以infer什麼等等。
(4) lava題
說到最近一幫科學家在研究金星上的lava，叫什麼Chilli（拼的不對)的,這種該死的岩漿，形成了一種channel，跟以前在月亮上啊，什麼地方發現的S的一種岩漿不大一樣。
然後開始研究這種lava的特性，什麼延綿千里，駱繹不絕。科學家就奇怪了，按照venus上的氣溫，這種岩漿應該出來不久，就會固化啊，怎麼能流這麼遠？
然後就說，這種岩漿特性跟其他的不一樣，粘度低，所以流動性很好(這裏考到一個題，問這種岩漿有什麼特性，答案就是fluid性能比較好啦)。大家注意這個詞viscosity，是粘度的意思，還好大學時候學過流體力學。
然後又說了，這種岩漿跟在地球上發現的一種carbonite岩漿也不一樣。以前發現的各種岩漿，都跟venus上的特性不一樣，所以流不遠，除了地球上發現的carbonite岩漿。這裏又考到一個題，what can be inferred about the carbonite岩漿。答案就是，這種岩漿流動性也很好，能夠跑很遠。然後全文結束。
主旨題，我有點吃不准。我還是選了A，比較Chilli的岩漿跟S岩漿的區別。C也很搞的，但是我沒選，因為C是講describe the properties of a lava。我覺得這篇文章不是講lava，而是講lava形成的一種channel: Chilli。
SC:
Not one of the potential investors is expected to make an effort to buy First Interstate Bank until a merge agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were not to be concluded.

B. is expected to make an offer for buying First Interstate Bank until they sign a merge agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal was
C. is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merge agreement be signed by them with a provision for penalties if the deal were
D. are expected to make an offer for buying First Interstate Bank until it signs a merge agreement with a provision for penalties included if the deal was

答案(A)
CR:
In 1992 outlaw fishing boats began illegally harvesting lobsters from the territorial waters of the country of Belukia. Soon after, the annual tonnage of lobster legally harvested in Belukian waters began declining; in 1996, despite there being no reduction in the level of legal lobster fishing activity, the local catch was 9,000 tons below pre-1992 levels. It is therefore highly likely that the outlaw fishing boats harvested about 9,000 tons of lobster illegally that year.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A.The illegal lobster harvesting was not so extensive that the population of catchable lobsters in Belukia’s territorial waters had sharply declined by 1996
B.The average annual lobster catch, in tons, of an outlaw fishing boat is has increased steadily since 1992.
C.Outlaw fishing boats do not , as a group, harvest more lobsters than do licensed lobster-fishing boats.
D.The annual legal lobster harvest in Belukia in 1996 was not significantly less than 9,000 tons.
E.A significant proportion of Belukia’s operators of licensed lobster-fishing boats were out of business between 1992 and 1996
答案(A)
