2011年8月新GRE考試改革全面分析及對(duì)策
ETS宣布從2011年8月開(kāi)始,全球GRE都將采用新的考試形式,下面將從從考試時(shí)間、考試形式、考試內(nèi)容和算分方式四方面全面剖析新GRE的特點(diǎn)及相關(guān)備考策略。
一、新GRE考試時(shí)間表
新GRE將完全實(shí)現(xiàn)機(jī)考,語(yǔ)文、數(shù)學(xué)、寫(xiě)作部分都在同一天完成。新GRE 的時(shí)間表ETS已于2009年12月在官方網(wǎng)站上鄭重登出:
對(duì)策:
1、新GRE考試時(shí)間更為靈活,不是死板的一年兩次,而是一月一次到兩次,為不同考生提供了適合的考試機(jī)會(huì)。今后考試的成績(jī)也不會(huì)再做加權(quán),而是以為準(zhǔn)。新GRE考試可能在考試初期考位有限,而現(xiàn)在很多美國(guó)學(xué)校接受資料的截止日期都有所提前,所以請(qǐng)注意考位問(wèn)題。
2、ETS針對(duì)GRE考試會(huì)給考生提供免費(fèi)的備考資料,期中包含了非常詳盡的關(guān)于考試的說(shuō)明,考生都可去GRE考試網(wǎng)站上下載樣題,進(jìn)行模擬考試。
二、考試形式
新GRE考試形式改變具體如下:
• 筆考和機(jī)考結(jié)合的形式將被每月進(jìn)行一到兩次的機(jī)考取代;
• 新題型可以更好反映商學(xué)院和研究生院所需技能;
• 新的答題格式包括基于電腦的量化答案輸入題;
• 減少對(duì)于單詞意涵背記的孤立考察,更多基于語(yǔ)境理解,強(qiáng)調(diào)考生推理、分析的閱讀能力;
• 寫(xiě)作部分把邏輯推理和分析兩種技能相結(jié)合;
• 每個(gè)部分內(nèi)部增設(shè)Preview和Review修改功能(不可跨越section修改答案);
• 新的“Mark與Review”功能方便考生快速回到先前跳過(guò)的題目;
• 允許考生修改編輯已經(jīng)做出的答案;
• 數(shù)學(xué)部分增加在線計(jì)算器功能。
對(duì)策:
1、考試出現(xiàn)量化輸入是指數(shù)學(xué)部分出現(xiàn)了主觀題目,考生需要填寫(xiě)計(jì)算結(jié)果而不是簡(jiǎn)單的排除選項(xiàng),所以要求考生數(shù)學(xué)功底要更加扎實(shí),要知道具體的計(jì)算過(guò)程并正確計(jì)算出結(jié)果,當(dāng)然ETS給出了計(jì)算器功能。
2、考試減少了對(duì)詞匯量的考察,并不意味著不考察,只是詞匯量的考察已不再是用具體的題目考察而是融入其他的考試題型之中。
3、一般的計(jì)算機(jī)適應(yīng)性考試(Adaptive Test)過(guò)程中,考生一旦選定了某一題的答案,就不能再做任何修改。而新GRE考試采取多階考察(Multi-Stage Test )的形式,利用計(jì)算機(jī)適應(yīng)性技術(shù),考生在考試的每個(gè)階段/部分所面對(duì)的考題,其難度由考生在上一個(gè)部分的答題表現(xiàn)所決定。這樣的安排更加靈活,允許考生瀏覽和回顧考題或者修改已經(jīng)做出的答案。
三、考試內(nèi)容
新GRE改革的指導(dǎo)思想是使考試結(jié)果能更好地反映并評(píng)估學(xué)生在美國(guó)大學(xué)研究生院學(xué)習(xí)并取得成功所必備的技能。ETS相信這些改進(jìn)有助于更好地測(cè)試各個(gè)考生未來(lái)取得成功的潛力。新GRE考試的內(nèi)容如下:
新的GRE考試總耗時(shí)約為3小時(shí)45分鐘,外加考生中場(chǎng)休息時(shí)間,共有6個(gè)部分。最先考的是寫(xiě)作,其中包含兩項(xiàng)計(jì)時(shí)寫(xiě)作任務(wù){(diào)Issue(對(duì)一個(gè)問(wèn)題發(fā)表個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn))和Argument(分析一個(gè)論點(diǎn))};接下來(lái)是兩個(gè)語(yǔ)文部分和兩個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)部分(其中一個(gè)部分不算分?jǐn)?shù));最后是研究考試部分。研究考試部分之前會(huì)有一個(gè)10分鐘的休息,其余各個(gè)部分之間只有1分鐘的間隔。一下逐一進(jìn)行介紹:
A、寫(xiě)作:
寫(xiě)作部分將重點(diǎn)考察考生有針對(duì)性地對(duì)具體考題做出反應(yīng)的能力,而不僅是泛泛文字的簡(jiǎn)單堆砌。具體來(lái)說(shuō),這些重點(diǎn)關(guān)注的能力包括:
• 清楚有效地闡明復(fù)雜觀點(diǎn)
• 用貼切的事理和事例支撐觀點(diǎn)
• 考察/驗(yàn)證他人論點(diǎn)及其相關(guān)論證
• 支撐一個(gè)有針對(duì)性的連貫的討論
• 控制標(biāo)準(zhǔn)書(shū)面英語(yǔ)的各個(gè)要素
對(duì)策:
1、新GRE考試大規(guī)模更新了題庫(kù),降低了考生依賴事前準(zhǔn)備(如背誦)的可能性。
2、新GRE考試的Issue答題時(shí)間由以前的45分鐘變?yōu)榱?0分鐘,要求考生的瞬間反應(yīng)速度要更快,思維要更活躍,作文要更流暢迅速。
3、新GRE考試的作文原文會(huì)直接寄給學(xué)校,這樣一方面增加了評(píng)卷的準(zhǔn)確和客觀性,一方面也給所有考生提供了一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì),當(dāng)然更是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。
B、語(yǔ)文
傳統(tǒng)筆考GRE分為填空、類比、閱讀和反義四個(gè)部分。而新GRE考試分為閱讀、填空和同意填句(sentence equivalence)。
1、閱讀(共10個(gè)題目左右)
(1)篇幅縮短,數(shù)量增加。
(2)文章體裁更加多樣性 (academic or nonacademic);
(3)題型多樣化。在新GRE考試中閱讀有三種題型:?jiǎn)芜x(5選1)、多選(3選多)、點(diǎn)句。
Sample questions:
Policymakers must confront the dilemma that fossil fuels continue to be an indispensable source of energy even though burning them produces atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide that increase the likelihood of potentially disastrous global climate change. Currently, technology that would capture carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and sequester it harmlessly underground or undersea instead of releasing it into the atmosphere might double the cost of generating electricity. But because sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission and distribution, delivered prices will rise less, by no more than 50 percent. Research into better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide will undoubtedly lead to lowered costs。
Sample Multiple-choice Questions — Select One Answer Choice
1. The passage implies which of the following about the current cost of generating electricity?
A. It is higher than it would be if better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide were available。
B. It is somewhat less than the cost of electricity transmission and distribution。
C. It constitutes at most half of the delivered price of electricity。
D. It is dwelt on by policymakers to the exclusion of other costs associated with electricity delivery。
E. It is not fully recovered by the prices charged directly to electricity consumers。
Answer: C
2. The passage suggests that extensive use of sequestration would, over time, have which of the following consequences?
A. The burning of fossil fuels would eventually cease to produce atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide。
B. The proportion of the delivered price of electricity due to generation would rise and then decline。
C. Power plants would consume progressively lower quantities of fossil fuels。
Answer: B
3. Select the sentence that explains why an outcome of sequestration that might have been expected would not occur。
Answer:
“But because sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission and distribution, delivered prices will rise less, by no more than 50 percent.”
2、填空
(1)每題總長(zhǎng)度1-5句話。設(shè)有1-3個(gè)空格。
(2)若2或3個(gè)空,每空對(duì)應(yīng)三個(gè)選項(xiàng),若一個(gè)空,對(duì)應(yīng)5個(gè)選項(xiàng)。
(3)獨(dú)立選擇,沒(méi)有連帶關(guān)系。

Answer: C and F
對(duì)策:
1、閱讀部分拓寬閱讀量,適應(yīng)新題型,提高信息的定位和內(nèi)容的全面把握能力。
2、填空部分學(xué)會(huì)整體全盤把握同時(shí)每空獨(dú)立思考。
3、同意填句注意同義詞或近義詞的積累。

五、算分方法
舊GRE考試單科分?jǐn)?shù)的區(qū)間為200-800分,10分為最小單位。新GRE的語(yǔ)文和數(shù)學(xué)分?jǐn)?shù)區(qū)間將為130-170,1分為最小單位。新的算分方法有助于避免現(xiàn)行考試中多做對(duì)一道題導(dǎo)致分?jǐn)?shù)差十分這樣局面產(chǎn)生,讓分?jǐn)?shù)計(jì)算更加精準(zhǔn)更加合理。作文考試分?jǐn)?shù)區(qū)間依舊為0-6分,0.5分為最小單位。
新GRE考試雖然新,但未必難,希望結(jié)合舊GRE基礎(chǔ)實(shí)力的準(zhǔn)備,同時(shí)把握新題型特點(diǎn),進(jìn)行綜合準(zhǔn)備。
ETS宣布從2011年8月開(kāi)始,全球GRE都將采用新的考試形式,下面將從從考試時(shí)間、考試形式、考試內(nèi)容和算分方式四方面全面剖析新GRE的特點(diǎn)及相關(guān)備考策略。
一、新GRE考試時(shí)間表
新GRE將完全實(shí)現(xiàn)機(jī)考,語(yǔ)文、數(shù)學(xué)、寫(xiě)作部分都在同一天完成。新GRE 的時(shí)間表ETS已于2009年12月在官方網(wǎng)站上鄭重登出:
時(shí)間 | 重大事件 |
2010年 | |
7月 | 推出免費(fèi)的預(yù)備測(cè)試 |
2011年 | |
8-9月 | 8月1日:第一次新考試; 8月至9月間進(jìn)行的考試,分?jǐn)?shù)將在11月初公布。 |
10月 | 10月進(jìn)行的考試,分?jǐn)?shù)將在11月中旬公布。 |
11月 | 11月上中旬進(jìn)行的考試,分?jǐn)?shù)將在11月下旬公布; 11月下旬進(jìn)行的考試,分?jǐn)?shù)公布將恢復(fù)正常周期(即考試日10-15天后)。 |
對(duì)策:
1、新GRE考試時(shí)間更為靈活,不是死板的一年兩次,而是一月一次到兩次,為不同考生提供了適合的考試機(jī)會(huì)。今后考試的成績(jī)也不會(huì)再做加權(quán),而是以為準(zhǔn)。新GRE考試可能在考試初期考位有限,而現(xiàn)在很多美國(guó)學(xué)校接受資料的截止日期都有所提前,所以請(qǐng)注意考位問(wèn)題。
2、ETS針對(duì)GRE考試會(huì)給考生提供免費(fèi)的備考資料,期中包含了非常詳盡的關(guān)于考試的說(shuō)明,考生都可去GRE考試網(wǎng)站上下載樣題,進(jìn)行模擬考試。
二、考試形式
新GRE考試形式改變具體如下:
• 筆考和機(jī)考結(jié)合的形式將被每月進(jìn)行一到兩次的機(jī)考取代;
• 新題型可以更好反映商學(xué)院和研究生院所需技能;
• 新的答題格式包括基于電腦的量化答案輸入題;
• 減少對(duì)于單詞意涵背記的孤立考察,更多基于語(yǔ)境理解,強(qiáng)調(diào)考生推理、分析的閱讀能力;
• 寫(xiě)作部分把邏輯推理和分析兩種技能相結(jié)合;
• 每個(gè)部分內(nèi)部增設(shè)Preview和Review修改功能(不可跨越section修改答案);
• 新的“Mark與Review”功能方便考生快速回到先前跳過(guò)的題目;
• 允許考生修改編輯已經(jīng)做出的答案;
• 數(shù)學(xué)部分增加在線計(jì)算器功能。
對(duì)策:
1、考試出現(xiàn)量化輸入是指數(shù)學(xué)部分出現(xiàn)了主觀題目,考生需要填寫(xiě)計(jì)算結(jié)果而不是簡(jiǎn)單的排除選項(xiàng),所以要求考生數(shù)學(xué)功底要更加扎實(shí),要知道具體的計(jì)算過(guò)程并正確計(jì)算出結(jié)果,當(dāng)然ETS給出了計(jì)算器功能。
2、考試減少了對(duì)詞匯量的考察,并不意味著不考察,只是詞匯量的考察已不再是用具體的題目考察而是融入其他的考試題型之中。
3、一般的計(jì)算機(jī)適應(yīng)性考試(Adaptive Test)過(guò)程中,考生一旦選定了某一題的答案,就不能再做任何修改。而新GRE考試采取多階考察(Multi-Stage Test )的形式,利用計(jì)算機(jī)適應(yīng)性技術(shù),考生在考試的每個(gè)階段/部分所面對(duì)的考題,其難度由考生在上一個(gè)部分的答題表現(xiàn)所決定。這樣的安排更加靈活,允許考生瀏覽和回顧考題或者修改已經(jīng)做出的答案。
三、考試內(nèi)容
新GRE改革的指導(dǎo)思想是使考試結(jié)果能更好地反映并評(píng)估學(xué)生在美國(guó)大學(xué)研究生院學(xué)習(xí)并取得成功所必備的技能。ETS相信這些改進(jìn)有助于更好地測(cè)試各個(gè)考生未來(lái)取得成功的潛力。新GRE考試的內(nèi)容如下:
題目 | 題量 | 時(shí)限 |
分析寫(xiě)作 兩項(xiàng)獨(dú)立計(jì)時(shí)的寫(xiě)作任務(wù) | Issue 1題 Argument 1題 | 每項(xiàng)任務(wù)30分鐘 |

數(shù)學(xué) 兩部分 | 每部分約20題 | 每部分35分鐘 |
不計(jì)分題目 | 不定 | 不定 |
研究題目 | 不定 | 不定 |
新的GRE考試總耗時(shí)約為3小時(shí)45分鐘,外加考生中場(chǎng)休息時(shí)間,共有6個(gè)部分。最先考的是寫(xiě)作,其中包含兩項(xiàng)計(jì)時(shí)寫(xiě)作任務(wù){(diào)Issue(對(duì)一個(gè)問(wèn)題發(fā)表個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn))和Argument(分析一個(gè)論點(diǎn))};接下來(lái)是兩個(gè)語(yǔ)文部分和兩個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)部分(其中一個(gè)部分不算分?jǐn)?shù));最后是研究考試部分。研究考試部分之前會(huì)有一個(gè)10分鐘的休息,其余各個(gè)部分之間只有1分鐘的間隔。一下逐一進(jìn)行介紹:
A、寫(xiě)作:
寫(xiě)作部分將重點(diǎn)考察考生有針對(duì)性地對(duì)具體考題做出反應(yīng)的能力,而不僅是泛泛文字的簡(jiǎn)單堆砌。具體來(lái)說(shuō),這些重點(diǎn)關(guān)注的能力包括:
• 清楚有效地闡明復(fù)雜觀點(diǎn)
• 用貼切的事理和事例支撐觀點(diǎn)
• 考察/驗(yàn)證他人論點(diǎn)及其相關(guān)論證
• 支撐一個(gè)有針對(duì)性的連貫的討論
• 控制標(biāo)準(zhǔn)書(shū)面英語(yǔ)的各個(gè)要素
對(duì)策:
1、新GRE考試大規(guī)模更新了題庫(kù),降低了考生依賴事前準(zhǔn)備(如背誦)的可能性。
2、新GRE考試的Issue答題時(shí)間由以前的45分鐘變?yōu)榱?0分鐘,要求考生的瞬間反應(yīng)速度要更快,思維要更活躍,作文要更流暢迅速。

五、算分方法
舊GRE考試單科分?jǐn)?shù)的區(qū)間為200-800分,10分為最小單位。新GRE的語(yǔ)文和數(shù)學(xué)分?jǐn)?shù)區(qū)間將為130-170,1分為最小單位。新的算分方法有助于避免現(xiàn)行考試中多做對(duì)一道題導(dǎo)致分?jǐn)?shù)差十分這樣局面產(chǎn)生,讓分?jǐn)?shù)計(jì)算更加精準(zhǔn)更加合理。作文考試分?jǐn)?shù)區(qū)間依舊為0-6分,0.5分為最小單位。
新GRE考試雖然新,但未必難,希望結(jié)合舊GRE基礎(chǔ)實(shí)力的準(zhǔn)備,同時(shí)把握新題型特點(diǎn),進(jìn)行綜合準(zhǔn)備。
