准备充分的人就不用看了。我只复习了一个多月，对红宝书的很多单词不熟；相对较好的是填空和阅读。

词汇：如果像我一样红宝书背的不熟，至少要把往年类反真题涉及的词汇多背几遍，其中较难的单词最后也就归结到1000-2000个。我感觉这次的很多类反词汇都是往年出现过的。猴哥的类反大全在最后阶段比较有用，但其中的个别中文解释有不精准之处，最好自己能查下辞典。另外，结合词首、词根背单词，可以提高效率；我看的是刘毅那本古老的《Vocabulary 22000》，里边总结了很多常用的词首和词根。

阅读： 只提醒一点，在实际的考卷中，Verbal的长阅读可能会印刷两遍，以便在做最后3道题（6-8）时不用向前翻页。

数学：考前最好模考几次，不仅为了熟悉题型，更重要的是，可以从中体会到，数学不难，但很大程度上取决于细心和做题速度。有必要看一下数学词汇表（新东方讲义里的或网友总结的），以免看不懂对顶角(vertical angle)、同位角(corresponding angle)这样的词汇。另外读题干的速度也很重要。这次的数学部分，有的题干（尤其是图表题）不仅较长，也有迷惑性，需要细心和阅读速度。

其它：一定要做好无法跨区的准备，比如坐在教室前排、或者在数学时间吃紧的情况下。另外，不要、也没必要太紧张，否则会影响发挥；充分准备+模考或许是克服紧张的法宝。模考的时间最好控制在比30分钟少几分钟，因为在考试过程中，某些突发事件（比如个别考生的突然大声讲话），都可能对实际可用时间造成影响。

不论最后结果如何，在准备考试的过程里，自己收获了一些词汇量和逻辑能力，也更加意识到好习惯的重要性和时间的珍贵。考完后，下午就去爬了香山，还有很多有趣、有意义的事情等待去做。

附上自己在复习过程中搜集的一些词汇的有意思例句，来自金山词霸2010 beta版（有些单词在类反题目中的确切含义，还是要查M-W辞典）：
