楷维留学指南分享一位GMAT考生的备考经验，这位考生总共用了20天左右的时间备考GMAT，取得了710分的好成绩。本文主要集中讲解这位考生GMAT作文的备考经验。

　　第一件事：做OG，花了大概15天吧，我把5个部分的题各分成4个部分，每天做两个部分。应该每天学习5个小时以上。Prep很不错，我做了一套模拟，确定了做电脑的感觉，和真正考试形式一模一样。在做完OG后完全推荐。之后就是jj啦，我特意报的8月底，推荐也报八月底，真得碰到不少题目如jj所示!

　　GMAT备考经验之作文模板

　　首先给大家说说WRITE是什么。WRITE是 GMAC官方的评分软件，只能online使用，29刀可以买AI和AA各一个topic，每个topic可以submit两次，每次当场给出分数，和官方E-rater同一个评分标准，也是GMAC官方赚钱的方式之一。虽然实战中还有真人评分最后取平均分，但是个人还是认为这是一个相当牛B的服务，这是我知道的唯一一个考试可以买评分结果的。说这些不是做广告，是想用实际测试结果证明beatGMAT作文关键的一点:字数。

　　一篇AA用WRITE的评分结果：

　　Total Score 6

　　Analyzes the issue 6

　　Supports ideas 6

　　Organizes a coherent idea 6

　　Language control 6

　　题目：

　　"The package of benefits and incentives thatReady-to-Ware offers to professional staff is too costly. Our quarterly profitshave declined since the package was introduced two years ago, at the time ofour incorporation. Moreover, the package had little positive effect, as we havehad only marginal success in recruiting and training high-quality professionalstaff. To become more profitable again, Ready-to-Ware should, therefore, offerthe reduced benefits package that was in place two years ago and use thesavings to fund our current research and development initiatives."

　　我写的AA：

　　In this argument the director recommends that thesoftware company offer the reduced benefits package that was in place two yearsago and use the savings to fund current research and development activities.Several reasons are offered in support of this argument. First of all, theauthor points out that the quarterly profits of the company have declined sincethe incorporation of the benefits and incentive package two years ago andclaims that the package is very costly. In addition, the author mentiones thatthe company had only marginal success in recruiting and training high-qualityprofessional employees. As we skim through the argument we may find theconclusion somewhat appealing. After a quick but careful analysis, we caneasily identify several logic flaws that render author's line of reasoningquestionable.

　　First of all, the author attributed the decline inprofits to the incorporation of the benefits package simply because the latterprecedented the former. However, the author's line of reasoning is fallaciousunless other factors relevant to the decline in profits have been ruled out.For example, other factors such as poor marketing strategies, overly aggresivepricing structures, or even lousy product quality control have led the declinein the company's revenue in that particular quarter following the introductionof the benefits and incentives package. Unless all these factors have beenconsidered and ruled out, it is premature on the part of the author to concludethat the benefits package caused the decline in profits.

　　In addition, the author fails to establish the linkbetween introducing the benefits package and failing to recruit and trainprofessional staff. The author did notmention what other factors can impact recruiting process and the effects oftraining programs. For example, the benefits package may simply not be goodenough attract high quality staff to join the company, even though the packageitself is quite costly. The author did not provide enough details about thebenefits and incentives package itself and it is impossible to tell the qualityof the package. The author fails to take into account of such possibilities andconveniently chooses to blame the benefit package. Therefore, without furtherinformation about package, the author's conclusion is not very convincing.

　　Moreover, the author assumes that swtiching back to thelower cost benefits package two years ago would solve all the issues above.There is, however, no guarantee that the author will succeed. There is noinformation that the company was successful when the old package was inplace. Even if so, the market andeconomic environment could have changedso signifcantly that the same strategy that worked before would not necessarilywork in the future. Switching back to a lower cost program may help reduce thecost and improve changes of profitability, but it is by no means a certaintythat the company will become profitable again without information on other relevantfactors, such as product design, quality and cost control. Thus, the author'srecommendation is not acceptable.

　　In summary, the author's conclusion is not persuassive asit stands. It could be considerably strengthened if the author has ruled outother factors relevant to the decline of profits and find the real root cause.In order to assess the merits of the situation, it is essential to have all theknowledge about the factors that impact recruiting process and the training ofprofessional staff. Further evidence that can show switching back to the lowercost benefits package couled allow profitability will further substantiate theauthor's view.

　　小结：这篇AA是我 30分钟掐时间写得，一共584字，写完完全没时间检查修改，模考时写的一字不差copy在这里了。细心的同学会发现我这篇里有7个错别字以及其他语法错误，但最后结果各项评分都是6分。字数的重要性不言而喻。当然我这里不是说随便打一通就可以拿6，因为毕竟真人评分是不能fool的，但是至少你知道E- rater主要看什么了。

　　OG和PREP的作用在这里不言而喻，考生要学会使用这些学习工具，帮助自己熟悉考试环境，最快了解GMAT考试的规律。
