细数GRE备考中一定要避免的6种消极错误心态

第一种应该避免的心态:轻敌

很多同学觉得自己的英语基础好,拿了英语专业8级证书,或是得了全国英语竞赛大奖,于是就不把GRE放在眼里。可是GRE不是单纯的语言能力考试,而是专业知识水平考试,考查考生是否具有在美国研究生院学习的能力,主要是阅读理解能力、逻辑推理能力及分析推理能力。所以,英语基础好虽然有一定优势,但仍需要通过大量的练习来熟悉题型。

第二种应该避免的心态:急躁

有一些考生觉得自己一次就能高分通关,但是如果你过于看重考试成绩,会加重心理负担,从而影响考生水平的正常发挥。相反,如果抱着提高英语水平的态度轻松上阵,能有效提高学习的积极性,能更加从容地应对考试。其实,GRE考试中,词汇、阅读、作文,每一项都对提高考生英语水平有实际作用。

第三种应该避免的心态:闭塞

有些考生喜欢自己闭门来苦读,平时很少上网了解考试信息,也很少与别人交流经验。这种闭门造车式复习方法带来的结果是:他所用的教材可能已被淘汰,他的复习方法可能也早已落伍,而他沿着错误的道路正越走越远。

第四种应该避免的心态:迷信

有些考生对自己没信心,迷信所谓的“高分培训班”,以为交了“银子”,“名师”就能搞定一切。可老话说得好:师傅领进门,修行靠自身。如果自己不努力,再好的名师也无法越俎代庖。还有些考生整天在网上搜寻别人的成功经验,殊不知,每个人的基础不同,只有自己摸索出来的经验,才是最可靠、最适用的。

第五种应该避免的心态:投机

有些考生对基础练习缺乏耐心,而是醉心于研究各种考试技巧,希望能够四两拨千斤。然而事实是,熟能生巧,只有反复练习才能掌握考试方法,如果靠投机取巧,最后只能是拣了芝麻丢了西瓜。考生要千万记住:技巧只是锦上添花的东西,熟练才是备考GRE的真谛。

第六种应该避免的心态:犹豫

有些考生在参加GRE考试时过于患得患失,总盘算着自己行不行、什么时候考最有利、是否需要先辞职等问题,许多宝贵的复习时间就在犹豫中浪费了。还有些考生虽然定了复习计划,执行起来总是拖拖拉拉,三天打鱼两天晒网,临到考试才发现脑袋空空。对待GRE的态度一定要果断,判断好得失利弊,制定好复习计划,然后一鼓作气,拿下高分。
