離今年最后一次SAT只有半個(gè)月的時(shí)間了,如果12月的SAT出分順利仍然可以趕上常規(guī)申請,因此很多同學(xué)都還在做最后的沖刺。下面是小編為大家整理收集的關(guān)于新SAT各科考前沖刺的16大金律,希望對大家有所幫助。
1.Answer Every Question 回答每一個(gè)問題
The SAT doesn’t have a guessing penalty, so you should fill in an answer bubble for every question even if you have no clue what the correct response is. If you find yourself with a few questions left in the section and only 30 seconds on the clock, you should provide random answers for all of them.
既然新SAT已經(jīng)取消了答錯(cuò)倒扣分的判分原則,考試當(dāng)天,就不要在答題紙上留下任何空白和遺憾。尤其是當(dāng)某道題不會(huì)或時(shí)間不夠的時(shí)候,更要毫不猶豫地猜出你的答案。
2.Be Prepared for the Format 熟悉考試形式
Knowing what to expect is half the battle on the SAT. When you sit down to take the test, you want everything to look familiar so you can avoid mistakes triggered by stress. At the very least, you should review the timing and structure of the exam before test day. Taking practice tests with appropriate time constraints is the best thing you can do to alleviate confusion on this front.
考試之前再重新熟悉一遍SAT閱讀、文法、數(shù)學(xué)和寫作各個(gè)部分的考試形式、出題套路、常考考點(diǎn)以及時(shí)間分配。特別需要提醒大家的是,很多考生走出考場后都在抱怨時(shí)間不夠用,這其實(shí)是缺乏時(shí)間管理概念,建議考試之前嚴(yán)格按照考試時(shí)間做幾次模擬練習(xí)。
3.Don’t Linger on Hard Questions 別和難題過不去
Getting stuck on one question for too long can do serious damage to your performance on the SAT, especially considering the fact that there are only four sections. If you have no idea how to solve a math problem or can’t seem to settle on one choice for a writing or reading question, skip it and move on. You can come back to it after you make it through the rest of the section.
在平時(shí)練習(xí)和備考的過程中,費(fèi)時(shí)間弄懂每一個(gè)題目,尤其是自己不會(huì)的難題是很有必要的。但是,在考試的過程中,一定要講策略,不要過多的糾纏難題,即使這道難題作對了,卻因此浪費(fèi)了很多解決容易題目的時(shí)間。
4.Read Introduction First 先讀引言
大多數(shù)閱讀原文前配有斜體引言,主要是介紹背景,或點(diǎn)明主旨。先讀引言,能夠促進(jìn)你對原文的理解。
5.Question With Line Numbers First 行數(shù)提示題先行
在SAT閱讀考試中,百分之八九十的考題都會(huì)有行數(shù)提示,這些行數(shù)提示為考生在原文定位答案提供了很好的提示,建議考生在考試過程中先做行數(shù)提示題,為了充分理解上下文,最好閱讀上下五行的窗口。
6.Details Before Main Idea 先細(xì)節(jié)題后主旨大意題
在SAT考試中,有一類題型:文章的大意,中心論點(diǎn),主要結(jié)構(gòu),經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在前面,這類題目往往需要閱讀完整個(gè)文章才能答出,如果遇到此類題目,最好先跳過去,先做后面的細(xì)節(jié)題,然后最后再回頭解決此類題目。
7. Take Advantage of Find the Evidence Questions 順藤摸瓜
在SAT閱讀考試中,經(jīng)常會(huì)出現(xiàn)這樣一道題:Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?這是一道證據(jù)題,讓你在本題中為你上道題所做的選擇提供證據(jù)支持。碰上這道題,先閱讀上道題的題目,但不急于做題,然后從這道證據(jù)題入手,根據(jù)選項(xiàng)中行數(shù)提示,就能很快在原文中定位出上道題答案出現(xiàn)的位置。
8.Locate Your Answer in the Passage 如何在原文中尋找答案
除個(gè)別問題針對全文外,SAT閱讀的出題順序基本跟原文順序保持一致,所以一旦你在原文中找到了一個(gè)題的答案,這意味著相鄰兩個(gè)題答案在原文中出現(xiàn)的大概位置就被鎖定了。比如,第5題的答案在20-25行,第7題的答案在30-35行,那么第6題的答案基本就可以鎖定在25-30行。
另外,原文中一些特殊的詞語也可以輔助你在原文中尋找答案,比如斜體字,大寫,或帶引號的表達(dá),或者日期,年份等。
9.When in Doubt, Choose the Most Concise Answer 猜題的技巧
The shortest answer is often the best answer on the Writing section because good writing consists of saying what needs to be said without any unnecessary fluff. Super wordy answers are usually not the ones you want. Of course, this doesn’t hold true for every single question, but it’s a solid rule of thumb if you’re stuck.
在SAT文法考試中,往往最短的那個(gè)選項(xiàng),也許就是最佳選項(xiàng),因?yàn)楹玫?a target='_blank'>作文往往是越簡單明了越好。所以如果,考試中犯暈了,就選擇最短的選項(xiàng)。
10.NO CHANGE Answers Are Just Like Other Choices NO CHANGE也是選項(xiàng)之一
Often, NO CHANGE answers are wrongfully viewed as more likely or less likely options than other answer choices in the Writing section. In fact, they’re just as likely to be correct as any of the alternative options. Don’t be afraid to pick NO CHANGE if you’ve double checked your reasoning and determined that it’s the correct choice.
很多同學(xué)看到文法題中的NO CHANGE總是一臉懵逼,總覺得這種選項(xiàng)怪怪的,所以做題的時(shí)候不敢選這一選項(xiàng)。其實(shí)NO CHANGE跟其它選項(xiàng)一樣,只不過是四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中的一個(gè)選項(xiàng)而已,如果你覺得其它三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都不如原文的用法好的話,就勇敢地選擇它吧~
11.Get Rid of Duplicate Answers 選出特別的那一項(xiàng)
Sometimes, questions on the Writing section will have answer choices that are so similar to one another that choosing one over the other wouldn’t make any functional difference in the sentence structure. This means you can get rid of two choices in one fell swoop.
如果文法考試中,某兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)在形式或意思上非常接近,那么這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)基本可以排除,這樣你要做的就是二選一了。
12.Know the Formulas 熟記公式
Although the SAT does provide important formulas at the beginning of each of the Math sections, you’ll be a much more efficient test-taker if you have the formulas memorized. It's a waste of time to keep flipping back to the beginning of the section whenever you think you need a formula to solve a problem.
在考卷中,雖然也會(huì)給出一些常用的公式,但是記住這些公式,或者自己常用的公式能夠?yàn)榭荚嚬?jié)省不少時(shí)間。
13.Plug in Answers 代入法:化繁為簡
If you have no idea how to solve a math problem, one way to get around that is just to plug in the answer choices until you find the correct solution.
在數(shù)學(xué)考試中,代入法是最有效的解題方法,尤其是你找不到解題思路時(shí)。代入法,通常分兩步走:首先用一個(gè)數(shù)置換問題中的未知數(shù)(不要用0、1或者問題中已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過的數(shù))得到一個(gè)答案;然后用這個(gè)答案去檢查四個(gè)選項(xiàng)。
14.Annotate 加強(qiáng)筆記法練習(xí)
我們必須牢記英語報(bào)刊文章和演講稿中常見的論據(jù)、邏輯推理形式以及修辭技巧。無論是在平時(shí)的練習(xí)中,還是在考場上,養(yǎng)成邊閱讀邊用筆標(biāo)記出這些細(xì)節(jié)的習(xí)慣,以便在寫作時(shí),能夠快速地從原文中找到相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié),從而提高寫作效率。
15.3W Principle for SAT Essay 掌握3W原則
牢記論據(jù)、邏輯推理方式和語言永遠(yuǎn)都是議論文得以展開論述的三大要素。在寫作過程中,我們一定要充分合理引用、改寫或闡述原文的這些細(xì)節(jié),更重要的是分析這些要素在鞏固、支撐原文作者論點(diǎn)中所發(fā)揮的作用,借此向考官充分展示自己的閱讀能力、分析能力和寫作能力。

Why he or she does it?
What effect this is likely to have on readers?
