GRE revised General Test:
The Verbal Reasoning measure: more complex reasoning, no vocabulary out of context
The Quantitative Reasoning measure: same basic mathematical concepts, more real-life scenarios
The Analytical Writing measure: more focused responses, less generalization
總評:
三分天下形勢未變。語文(Verbal Reasoning) 、數學(Quantitative Reasoning )、寫作(Analytical Writing)。
下面先就中國同學最關心的語文部分做一個簡要的細節(jié)點評:
To more closely align with the type of work students do in graduate school, the GRE revised General Test places a greater emphasis on higher level cognitive skills, as a truer, deeper assessment of their ability to understand what they read and how they apply their reasoning skills.
注:黑體部分是ETS強調的。個人認為對中國同學的難處反而在于后面的“their ability to understand what they read and how they apply their reasoning skills.” 特別是“understand what they read”.至于reasoning skills對于考GRE的戰(zhàn)士不成太大的問題。當然,在一定的閱讀基礎上,運用一些推理方法和技巧,考試也就搞定了。
