BAŞARILAR DİLERİM.
DENEME NASIL ÇÖZÜLÜR
Çoğu kişi maalesef sınava hazırlanmanın önemli bir parametresi olan deneme çözmeyi ciddiye almaz ve onu
alıştırma ile karıştırır. Oysa deneme bir konuda ustalaşmak için kullandığımız alıştırmalardan çok farklıdır. Amacı
gayet nettir:
1. Seviyenin tespiti
2. İlerleme olup olmadığının tespiti
3. Eksikliklerin tespiti
4. Gerçek sınav için sağlam bir teknik ve yöntem geliştirme
Ben bir deneme çözümünde şu altı kıstasın olmazsa olmaz olduğunu düşünenlerdenim:
1.
TEK OTURUM, TAM SÜRE: Bir sınav tek oturumda ve araya mola verilmeden çözülmeli. Sınav
esnasında bir şey yenilip içilmemeli, tuvalet ve sigara molası da dâhil, araya mola konmamalı. Zira
gerçek sınavda bunları yapma şansımız yok. Her mola, denemedeki puanımızı yükseltecek ve
durumumuz hakkında gerçekçi olmayan fikirlere sahip olmamızı sağlayacaktır. Eğer İKİ BUÇUK
SAATLİK TEK OTURUM yapma şansımız hiç yoksa, verilen her mola için toplam süreden tam 5 dakika
kısaltılmalıdır. Üç defadan daha fazla mola verilmiş ise eğer, artık o sınav bir DENEME SINAVI değildir.
2.
SINAV BİTMEDEN KONTROL YOK: Tüm sorular bitmeden yapacağınız her kontrol, netinizi yukarı
çıkaracak ve durum tespitini imkânsızlaştıracaktır. Oysa gerçek sınavda, mesela 50. sorudayken bile, 3.
soruda verdiğimiz seçeneğin doğru olup olmadığı fikri beynimizi yemeye devam eder. Kuşku ve
belirsizlik, neti aşağı çeker.
3.
TAKILINCA İŞARETLEME GEÇ, SONRA BAK – SÜPÜRME YÖNTEMİ: Boş bırakabilme erdemi, çoğu
kişinin A puanlarına ulaşabilmesinde en önemli etkendir. Basit nedenlerle, okuduğu seçenekte çabuk bir
doğru cevap bulmazsa işaretleme yapmadan geçen bir kişi, daha sonra aynı seçeneğe baktığında
doğruya ulaşacaktır:
•
Uğraştığınız seçenek BOYUNUZUN ÜZERİNDE ve hatta iptal edilecek bir YANLIŞ SORU
olabilir. Onunla uğraşmanız zamanınızı yer ve kendinize inancınızı bitirir. İkisi de size en
lazım olan şey. Oluşan zaman baskısı ve hüsran duygusu, normalde doğru cevaplanabilecek
ve çok daha kolay pek çok sorunun yanlış cevaplanmasına yol açacaktır.
•
Uğraştığınız seçenek çözebileceğiniz zorluktadır ama o anda cevabı hatırlamıyorsunuz veya
doğru açıdan bakmıyorsunuzdur. Israr etmeniz size yardımcı olmaz. Ama başka sorularla
uğraşırken, beyniniz zaten bu soru için de yeter miktarda mesai sarf edecek ve bir daha
baktığınızda soruyu gayet kolaylaşmış olacaktır: Beyniniz problemi çözmüş veya soruya
yeniden bakarken bakış anızı değiştirmişsinizdir.
•
Uğraştığınız sorunun cevabı ya doğrudan veya modelleme mantığına göre okuyacağınız diğer
sorularda gizli olabilir. Siz diğer soruları okurken, beyniniz buradan doğru bilgileri kodlayacak ve
yeniden boş bıraktığınız soruya geldiğinizde, tercihiniz büyük ihtimalle doğru olacaktır.
Unutmayın en büyük kopya, soru kitapçığınızın bizatihi kendisidir.
Soruların hepsini bitirdikten sonra boş bıraktığınız sorulara yine sırayla birkaç defa dönüp, her doğru
cevap çıkmadığında yeniden boş bırakıp geçmeyi unutmayın. Böylece belirli bir süpürme-tarama
yöntemiyle aynı sorulara birkaç kez bakmış olacaksınız. Son 10 dakikada ise artık atma vakti gelmiş
olabilir. Hilelere ancak burada yer veriniz.
4.
SINAV BİTİNCE TAHMİN: Sınavdan sonra kaç net alacağınızı ±5 hata ile bilmeniz, durumunuzu tespitte
çok önemlidir. Bu tahmin bir müddet sonra hangi seçeneği bilerek, hangisini ise sallayarak yaptığınızı
bilmeniz hususunda size olağanüstü bir yetenek kazandıracak ve böylece hangi seçeneği hemen
işaretleyeceğinizi, hangi seçeneği boş bırakıp sonra bakmanız gerektiğini ve hangi seçenekte aslında
atmak durumunuzda olduğunu ve dolayısıyla hile-hurda kullanabileceğinizi bilmenizi sağlayacak.
5.
YANLIŞLARI BİR DAHA ÇÖZ – TURLAMA: Cevapları başkasına kontrol ettirip, yanlış cevaplarınızı bir
daha çözmeye çalışmanız, bir sonraki denemenizde NET ARTIRABİLMENİZ neredeyse en garanti
yoludur. Beyniniz (a) iki şık arasında hangisini seçmeniz gerektiğini öğrenecek, (b) yanlış yaptığı soruyu
bir daha çözdüreceğinizi anladığından, ilk hamlede doğruyu görmeyi başarabilecektir. Turlamayı illaki
tüm soruların cevabını kendiniz buluncaya kadar yapınız. Ama İLK TUR, en öğretici olandır.
6.
KELİME ÖĞREN: Sınavın bir kısmından keklime öğrenmeyi ihmal etmeyin. Bir limitiniz olsun, mesela
100. O sınavdan tam 100 adet bilmediğiniz kelime öğrenmeye bakın. Sadece paragraflardaki kelimelere
bakmanız bile yeterli olabilecektir.

Across the technologically developed world,
scientists are building progressively more humanlike machines. “Social robots” are now entering
human culture, most frequently as entertainers for
the very young and as caretakers for the very old.
In Japan, consumers buy “therapeutic robots” like
the humanoid Wakamaru, which is designed to
provide companionship for the elderly and
disabled, and is capable of basic social interactions
with its owners. In the US, recent holiday seasons
have seen parents fighting to buy robotic toys for
their children to “nurture” and play with. It is this
drive to build robots that appear to understand us
and engage with us – and perhaps one day think
like us – that is providing scientists with some
unsettling and unique insights. And it is driving the
emerging field of roboethics, which asks questions
about how these machines affect us and how best
to integrate them into our culture.

48. According to the passage, one solution offered
to stop the loss of population and industrial
strength is to ----.
47. - 50. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre
cevaplayınız.
In post-tsunami Japan, the prime minister must
decide which towns and villages in Tohoku will be
restored and which won’t be. Much of rural Japan
has been losing its population and industrial
strength for years. Decentralizing power, which
would require a revolution in the central
government, would help the process. Japan has
long been a top-down economy: government
bureaucrats make the decisions and allocate the
tax revenues; local leaders react accordingly.
Those in Tokyo working on revival plans are
caught up in paperwork and are too far away from
the damaged areas to grasp the complexities of life
there. Japan’s de-populated towns need to join
forces and share budgets – a move central
government is too busy and distracted to make.
The biggest mistake would be for Japan to try to
recreate what existed before the March 10, 2011
tsunami. Despite what has been a lost year for
Japan, the nation still has an opportunity for the
kind of restructuring that does not come along
often. It would be a shame if Japan wasted it.
A)
restore the powers of the central government
B)
let the prime minister deal with the issue
C) regulate the assets of the central government
D) decide where new industry should be located
E)
provide the local governments with more power

economy ----.
A)
allows the bureaucrats to observe the
seriousness of the situation in remote regions
B)
does not enable effective communication
between the government and the local
administrators
C) lets those in Tokyo see the complexities of life
in urban areas

Investment in human capital is just like investment
in any other thing. If you invest in a building, you
expect to receive a rate of return on your
investment. You expect to receive some reward for
not consuming all your income today. The same is
true for investment in human capital. If you invest
in yourself by going to college, rather than going to
work after school and earning more money, you
presumably will be rewarded in the future by a
higher income and/or a more interesting job. On
average, the rate of return on investment in human
capital is similar to the rate of return to investment
in other areas. The main cost of education is the
income lost, or the opportunity cost, through not
working. However, the extra income earned over a
lifetime is almost always more than enough to
compensate for this. Individuals’ earning capacity
is also related to innate abilities and non-acquired
human capital such as strength, good looks,
coordination, and mental alertness. But the
additions to human capital which take place as
people acquire education and training are usually
more important.
A)
acquired human capital is usually more crucial
than non-acquired human capital
B)
individuals’ potential productivity has more to
do with non-acquired human capital
C) going to college increases a person’s mental
alertness and coordination
D) strength and coordination are reinforced by the
type of education received
E)
learnt abilities alone determine individuals’
future prospects
53. As it is stated in the passage, a person’s
potential productivity is determined by ----.
A)
the right mix of individuals’ entrepreneurial
talent and determination
B)
doing part-time work while studying to gain
experience and earn more money
C) strength, good looks, coordination, and mental
alertness
D) investment in your physical appearance and
health and workplace training
51. According to the passage, if individuals acquire
more human capital, ----.

their attractiveness to a potential employer is
guaranteed
B)
it is likely that they will earn more money in the

E)
54. According to the passage, the rate of return on
investment in human capital ----.
C) their innate abilities and attributes become

D) the real cost of a quality education becomes
unimportant
E)
a combination of inborn capacities and other
qualities obtained through investing in oneself
they become more willing to take risks in their

Imagine you are a professor doing research in a
library. You have an assistant who brings books
that you request to your desk as you find new
sources from bibliographies. Now imagine that you
are doing the same research, but on the Internet.
In both cases, you’re reading documents, finding
links, and then reading the documents the links
point to. The only difference is that in one case the
documents are printed on paper and in the other,
they’re spread across a screen. Despite the
similarities, our experience of these two situations
will be quite different. Consider the language we’ll
use. In the first case, we’ll take a book from the
shelf, find a link, get another book and put the first
one back. At the physical desk, I’m still the centre
of the universe. I cause things to be brought to me
and to be taken away when I have finished with
them. Now consider the language we use to talk
about the Web experience: we go to a site, we
browse, we surf, we find a link and we go to it.
When we’re done, we leave the site. The desk is a
place where we sit; the Web is a space through
which we travel.
A)
make different use of modern technological

60. According to the passage, Linfa Wang’s study of
wild Chinese bats ----.
59. – 62. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre
cevaplayınız.
Bats are creatures of the night that are commonly
held in fear. At first glance, those fears might seem
to have some medical justification. Long known as
vectors for rabies, it is now thought that bats may
be the origin of some of the most deadly emerging
viruses, including SARS. From research with other
viruses, virologist Linfa Wang of the Australian
Animal Health Laboratory knew bats could get
chronic infections from viruses while not getting
sick, making them ideal carriers for disease. Bats,
civets and a menagerie of other animals were often
found caged near one another in live-animal
markets in Asia. So Wang hypothesized that bats
might harbor SARS as well. Wang and his
colleagues analyzed blood, throat and faecal
swabs from 408 wild bats from China. Genetic
analysis revealed five bats, which represented
three of nine species of horseshoe bats tested,
possessed viruses closely related to SARS. They
reported last September that the genetic variation
within those coronaviruses was far greater than
that seen in human or civet SARS. Therefore, bats,
probably having lived longer with the diseases,
may be the origin of the coronaviruses seen in
other species.
they are not thought to be dangerous to
humans and other animals
B)
they must have a well-developed immune
system
A)
showed that the coronaviruses carried by some
of the bats had a much greater genetic variation
than seen in human SARS
B)
revealed that the bats, while chronically
infected with viruses other than SARS, did not
become ill or suffer from any symptoms
C) has aroused a great deal of controversy among
flu specialists
D) proved that the SARS virus carried by the bats
was the same as that found in civets
E)
sparked a movement to reform the live-animal
markets in Asia
61. The main idea of the passage is that ----.

can get chronic infections from viruses without
getting sick, ----.
