Key points and general observations:
- 1. Math JJ is a MUST!!! <- I can't stress the importance enough.
- 2. Take your 10 minute breaks <- I should've taken my breaks. I was pretty brain dead during my verbal portion without any breaks, so brain-dead to the point that I didn't even get to do 5 of my verbal questions. my verbal score proved my mistake tho. my worst compared to my practice tests. (
- 3. Dude, use your time wisely, Don't make the same mistake I did. just guess and moved on when you are stuck a question for over 3 minutes... I know it's tempting to continue trying but I think not finishing the test really hurts more, and who knows, maybe your next questions could be something you've seen.
- 4. allocate your spaces on your scratch paper by drawing lines before you click on "continue" to start your section. Really helps to see clearly if it's a rather complicated calculation.
- 5. I had probably 3 or more absolute value questions, some on both sides. Really practice those a bit.
- 6. Really, some math questions are just easier and faster to plug in choice (C) first and based on that, you can probably move up or down. Really helps when the answer choices are a series of consecutive numbers of some sort.
Finally, JJ from 04/21/06 (only contain new questions not already listed in April JJ)
Math
1. A company has 2 types of employees, type X has 23 people, type Y has # people (30 some, # means I don’t remember). It also gives you the numbers of people who are in either type X or type Y. Find the number of people in both X and Y. Answers a. #, B.1, c. #, d. 22, e. #. My answer is B. 11.
2. A chart (X-axis: Olympics games from 1976 through 2008; y-axis: ad costs) are listed in a bar chart from left to right.
The question asks from what is the year of the previous Olympics which the increase is the greatest from 1980 to 2008. (Be careful with the wording of this question, even though it doesn’t include 1976 in its range, but the biggest increase is from 1976 to 1980, so your answer choice should be 1976.
3. X < Y ?
(1) X^3 < Y^2
(2) X < Y ^2
4. Coordinates A (0,2), and B (2,0) is given. A and B form the diameter of the circle?
(1) A and B are on the circle
(2) The radius is 2*sq(2)
5. This is just additional information to question 264 already on April JJ, answer choices D is sq(44) and E is sq(33). I picked answer choice D.
6. A box of 10 Items is 7.5 dollars, 1 item is 0.99 dollars. How much does it cost to buy 15 of the items? (very easy, I got scared when I saw this one)
12.45
Verbal: (Again, I am only adding information supplemental to existing JJ, basically what hasn’t already been mentioned from what I saw from other postings)
RC: New JJ: Hardly any food today is in its natural form. Natural food ended centuries ago when people genetically modified food to enhance it one way or another. including organic food some people claim to be natural. Cell-splitting (<- make sure you understand this carefully, at least 2 questions on it) is a process against which people have been warned.
RC GWD 31 passage3. New question: what assumption can you draw from line 50 before they walked upright: the answer should be that the female provided limited nurturing and protection to the young because she needs to devote more time to look for food for herself.
CR:
1. Spammers spam because of the thousands of people who find spam annoying, a few actually click on the ad and those few clicks are enough for the spammers to continue spamming. The statement proposes that we should ALL stop clicking on the ads so that most people would benefit from doing away with the annoying spasm than the limited few who actually click on the ads. The question asks for the underlying assumption.
2. 醫院原來是1個護士護理6各病人。現在是1個護理5個，結論是 由於不會增加新的護士，所以人手會不夠, weaken: The answer is to increase the turnover rates of patients so not as many people need to be taken care of by the nurses.
