Ukuzijabulisa komuntu siqu ne-EDPT
I-EDPT yanikezwa kimi e- Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) ngosuku lwami ekucubunguleni. Kwakukhona imibuzo engaba ngu-120 okufanele iphendulwe ngesikhathi semaminithi angu-90. Yonke imibuzo ikhethwa ngokuphindaphindiwe ngezimpendulo ezinhlanu ezitholakalayo ngayinye. Kuyinto yokuhlolwa kwephepha nepensela, hhayi ikhompyutha, futhi abasebenzi bokuhlola banginikeze amaphepha amabili okuqala futhi ipensela (ababalalayo abavunyelwe).
Ukuhlolwa kwahlukaniswe izingxenye ezine: ama-analogies, izinkinga zamagama ezibalo, ukulandelana kanye namaphethini, kanye nama-analog pictorial.
Analogies
Imibuzo yokufanisa ifana nalabo abanikezwa ku-SAT - _____ ingu ______ njengo ______ ku _____. Omunye udinga ukucacisa ubuhlobo phakathi kwamagama amabili okuqala bese uthole impendulo enokuhlobana okufanayo negama lesithathu elinikeziwe.
Isibonelo: "Izinkomo ziya emhlambini njengoba inhlanzi ifika ku- _____." Impendulo efanele ingaba "isikole," njengoba yilokho okubizwa ngeqembu lezinhlanzi. Noma yikuphi incwadi ye-SAT test prep / inkambo izosiza ekulungiseleleni le ngxenye yokuhlolwa.
Izinkinga zeZwi le-Arithmetic
Imibuzo yenkinga yamagama ye-arithmetic yiyo kuphela izinkinga zegama. Imibuzo ihlanganisa ulwazi oluningi oluxhunyanisiwe kumagama futhi omunye kufanele akwazi ukukhipha ulwazi oludingekayo futhi alahle udoti. Ngathola ukuthi imibuzo ngokwabo ayifuni izinga eliphakeme ngokweqile lekhono lemathematika (i-algebra, i-geometry ethile kanye mhlawumbe nolwazi oluncane lwe-physics), nakuba ifomu ngalinye lokuhlola lingase lihluke ezinhlotsheni zemibuzo enikeziwe.
Kwakukhona imibuzo embalwa ngesimo esithi, "Uma isitimela 'A' sishiya iChicago ehamba nge-100 mph futhi isitimela 'B' sishiya eNew York sihamba nge-150 mph futhi ibanga eliphakathi kweChicago neNew York lingamakhilomitha angu-600, kude kangakanani ukusuka eNew York izitimela ziba nini lapho zihlangana? " Empeleni, funda umbuzo ngamunye ngokucophelela, usebenzisa ulwazi oludingekile olunikeziwe futhi uhambe lapho.
Njenganoma yiliphi olunye uhlolo lwe-Multiple Choice, kungenzeka ukuthi omunye angasusa isiphetho esisodwa noma ezimbili masinyane bese efaka izimpendulo ezisele ezisezingeni ukuze athole impendulo efanele. Le ndlela ithatha isikhashana, ngakho-ke ulinde kuze kube yilapho yonke imibuzo elula iphenduliwe bese ibuyela emuva ekupheleni uma isikhathi sisala.
Ukulinganisa kanye namaphethini
Ukulandelana kwamaphethini kanye namaphethini okuyivivinyo kwakuyintandokazi yami. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kunikezwa izinombolo ezine noma ezinhlanu bese kungenalutho okumele uhlinzeke ngenombolo elandelayo ngokulandelana. Isibonelo: "2 8 32 128 _____." Impendulo efanele ingaba "512," njengoba inombolo ngayinye yande nge-4. (2 x 4 = 8 x 4 = 32 x 4 = 128 x 4 = 512).
Kuzo zonke ukwethembeka, ukulandelana akuyona into enzima kakhulu kunalokho. Ngithole ukuthi iphethini yayingeyona into efanayo kulo lonke ukulandelana, kodwa kwakuhlale kutholakala kalula. Enye yezinkinga ezinzima kungaba kanje:
"3 9 4 16 11 _____"
Ngithole indlela elula yokuphendula lezi zinhlobo kwakuwukubhala ngokulandelana kwiphepha lami lokuqala ngesikhala phakathi kwenombolo ngayinye. Ezikhaleni, bhala ubuhlobo phakathi kwenombolo ngayinye. Esikhathini sethu "9," inombolo yesibili ngokulandelana kwethu, kungu-3 + 6, noma i-3 x 3- ngakho ngizobhala "+6" futhi futhi "X3" phakathi "3" no "9." Ngabe ngibheka inombolo elandelayo ngokulandelana, "4." I-4 ingaphansi kwezingu-9, ngakho-ke ngibhala "-5" phakathi "9" no "4." Ngibheka inombolo elandelayo, ngingazi ukuthi "16" "4 x 4" noma "4 + 12." Futhi, ngingabhala kokubili esikhaleni.
U-11 uneminyaka engaphansi kwezingu-6 futhi ngizobhala "-5."
Ngakho-ke, iphepha lami lokubuka lizobonakala ngathi: "3 (+6) (X3) 9 (-5) 4 (X4) (+12) 16 (-5) 11."
Ukuze uphendule lo mbuzo, manje ngingeke ngibheke amathuba: Ngiyazi ukuthi umehluko wokulandelana kwezinombolo 2 kuya ku-3 futhi kusukela ekulandeleni izinombolo 4 kuya ku-5 "-5." Ukuze ulandelele izinombolo 1 kuya kwezingu-2, 3 kuya ku-4 no-5, ngiyabona ukuthi ubudlelwane buyanda nge-integer ekhudlwana (3 x 3 ngu-9, 4 x 4 ngu-16, 11 x 5 no-55). ngakho impendulo ibe ngu-55.
Ngakho-ke, ngesibonelo esingenhla, iphethini yayizoba "3 (x 3) 9 (-5) 4 (x 4) 16 (-5) 11 (x 5) 55." Ngokubhala ukulandelana okunokwenzeka phansi kwephepha lokuqala, kuba lula kakhulu futhi umuntu angabona iphethini ngokushesha kakhulu. Kwakungekho amaqhekeko aqotho noma amanye amathrekhi angavamile ekuvivinyweni - ngokungeza nje, ukukhipha, ukuphindaphinda nokuhlukanisa izinombolo kwinombolo yangaphambilini.
I-Analogies ye-Pictorial
Ukunikeza uhlobo lokugcina lombuzo ekuhlolweni kuyi-analogies yokudweba. Njengengxenye ye-analogies, imibuzo ifomu elifana ne- _____ lingu ______ njengo ______ lingu- _____.
Umehluko wukuthi amajamo wejometri asetshenzisiwe futhi omunye kufanele anqume ukuthi yiziphi izimpendulo ezikhethiwe eziningi ezifana nesimo sesithathu ngendlela efanayo nesithombe sesibili esihambelana nokuqala (Isikhombisi se-Guide: Bona isibonelo esiphezulu kwesokudla saleli khasi. isibonelo esibonisiwe, impendulo efanele ingaba # 2, njengoba ihambisana nento 3 ngendlela efanayo into engu-1 efana nento 2.)
Into yesibili inqunywe ngesigamu, idiagonally futhi imibala ishintshiwe. Impendulo 2 ibuye ihlukaniswe isigamu se-diagonally futhi umbala uguquliwe. Ku-EDPT, kunezinqumo eziyisihlanu kunokuba nje kuphela 3. Njengasezintanjeni zokulandelana kanye nenombolo, kungase kube lula ukudweba into ephepheni bese uzama ukuphindaphinda ubuhlobo phakathi kwezinto ezimbili zokuqala. Ezinye zazo zizoshintshwa, zinqunywe, noma zenzeke ngenye indlela, kodwa ngaso sonke isikhathi kukhona ubudlelwano obuqondakalayo.
Ungalindeli ukukwazi ukuphendula yonke imibuzo ekuvivinyweni. Ukubukeka okusheshayo kwenani lemibuzo nesikhathi kuvunyelwe ukuthi omunye unemizuzu engaba ngu-45 ngombuzo ngamunye futhi izinkinga eziningi zegama zidinga okungenani isikhathi esiningi nje sokufunda nokucacisa ukuthi yiluphi ulwazi oludingekayo, bese ubeka idatha ibe yinkinga ebonakalayo .
Ngincoma ukuthi uphendule yonke imibuzo elula kuqala, bese (isikhathi sivuma), buyela emuva bese uqala ukusebenza ezinzima. (Ngithole ukuthi ngidlala "isihlahla sikaKhisimusi" phakathi nemizuzu emibili yokugcina ukuqinisekisa ukuthi yonke imibuzo iphendulwa- khumbula: ngokungahambi kahle uma kungaphenduliwe nhlobo).
Akukho lutho olunzima kakhulu mayelana nokuhlolwa- futhi nginomqondo wokuthi inani elikhulu labantu lingaphumelela kakhulu uma ukuhlolwa bekude, kusho amahora amathathu kunamaminithi angu-90. Yisikhathi esifushane esivunyelwe ukuthi senze amagoli kahle ekuvivinyeni kanzima.
Angiqiniseki ukuthi yiziphi izikolo ezidingekayo kwezinye izinsizakalo, kodwa ku-Air Force, kudingeke ukuthi amaphuzu ayi-71 adingekayo ku-AFSC yezinhlelo zekhompyutha ( 3C0X2 ) kanye no-57 we-Technical Applications Specialist ( 9S100 ). Ukuhlolwa akuhlangene nomsebenzi ekuboneni kuqala, kodwa lokho okukufezayo kugcizelela ikhono lomuntu lokucabanga ngokulinganayo. Zonke izingxenye ezine zovivinyo zidinga ukuthi i-testee icabange ngendlela eqondakalayo futhi yilokho okuyikho uhlelo lwekhompiyutha.
Ulwazi olulandelayo luhlinzekwe ngumuntu owaziwa yombhali (Chris waseTampa) owayenethuba lamuva ukuthatha i-Air Force / Marine Corps Electronic Data Processing Test (EDPT) .
