The scores of each part of GMAT can be divided into the following parts:
Math score (quantitative): 0-60 [51+can get full marks]
Oral score: 0-60 [51+can get full marks]
Overall): 200-800 800. (that is, the grades commonly used in business schools)
Writing score (Awa): 0-6 (composition score and total score are calculated separately)
Comprehensive reasoning (IR): 0-8 points
Introduction to GRE exam
GRE (English: GraduateRecordExaminations), translated from Chinese into American Postgraduate Entrance Examination, is a standardized examination sponsored by ETS, aiming at testing the knowledge and skills of college graduates. In many English-speaking countries, especially the United States, GRE scores are regarded as one of the criteria for graduate admission. Nowadays, in Europe, more and more universities, such as those in Germany and Sweden, take GRE as one of the admission criteria for English-taught courses. During the period of 1949, ETS set up and carried out examination tasks, aiming at testing students' vocabulary, quantitative analysis, analytical writing and critical thinking accumulated in the long-term learning process, but not aiming at a certain professional field. The GRE test is hosted by a qualified test center and provided by computer.
The importance of GRE scores in graduate enrollment varies from institution to institution and from situation to situation. Sometimes GRE scores are just for reference, and sometimes they are key indicators for selection. GRE was revised in August, 20 1 1 year, which led to the fact that the test was not only based on test questions, but also selective, that is, the difficulty of the second part would be determined by answering the vocabulary and mathematics in the first part. On the whole, the examination has kept the various forms of the old edition, but the score scale has been changed from 200-800 to 130- 170. The examination fee ranges from 130 to 2 10, depending on the country where the examination is held. ETS will reduce fees in some cases and provide financial assistance to poor students. Although some colleges and universities accept grades for more than five years, ETS will no longer issue transcripts after five years.
The GRE exam is divided into two parts: general and subject. In the United States, graduate students often need to submit general GRE test scores. Many majors do not require this score because there is no suitable GRE test.
application area
GRE(GraduateRecordExam) is suitable for postgraduate examinations in various disciplines and majors except law (LSAT exam is required) and business (GMAT exam is required). There are two kinds of GRE tests (usually Generaltest): Generaltest or AptitudeTest, professional test or advanced test (subject test or advanced test).
Candidates need to take one or two of the exams according to their own conditions and the requirements of the school they are applying for. The purpose of general examination is to measure the general potential ability of candidates to engage in academic research at the advanced stage according to the basic knowledge and ability level of university graduates, and does not involve any special requirements of any major. The purpose of professional examination is to test the knowledge, skills and abilities of candidates in a certain discipline or professional field.
If candidates want to go to the United States for graduate studies, GRE is basically necessary, not medicine, business or law. In a sense, GREGeneralTest is equivalent to the public part of our domestic postgraduate entrance examination, and GRESubjectTest is equivalent to the professional part of our domestic postgraduate entrance examination. In the United States, medical schools, business schools and law schools that require higher professional skills all have their own examinations, namely, the MCAT of medical schools, the GMAT of business schools and the LSAT of law schools. Students who apply for admission to these three professional colleges do not take the GRE test, but get the corresponding test results.
GREGeneralTest test capability requirements
GRE is a one-time exam, which always evaluates the ability of writing, Chinese and mathematics. The requirements for each function are as follows:
Writing: The writing part will focus on the examinee's ability to respond to specific questions, rather than asking the examinee to pile up general words. Mainly manifested in whether the complex viewpoints are clearly and effectively clarified; Whether to support the viewpoint with appropriate facts and examples; Whether targeted and coherent discussion can support the article. Some of them jointly examine the ability of logical reasoning and analytical writing, and there are a large number of topics that need to be targeted by candidates, which is a strong test for candidates' comprehensive ability. Specifically, these abilities include: clarifying complex viewpoints clearly and effectively, supporting others' arguments with appropriate facts and examples, and supporting targeted and coherent discussion control standards. In the writing part of written English, we will jointly examine the skills of logical reasoning and analytical writing, and introduce more questions that require candidates to make targeted responses, so as to reduce the possibility of candidates relying on materials prepared in advance (such as recitation).
Chinese: The investigation of language ability will put more emphasis on advanced cognitive ability, and strive to reflect the examinee's understanding of reading materials and the application of reasoning ability more deeply and truly. It is mainly manifested in whether conclusions can be drawn when analyzing a text, and whether the premise and perspective of the author can be determined; Whether you can understand the multi-level meaning of language; More and more new exams are based on contextual understanding, such as reading comprehension; Reduce the investigation of the meaning of simple words, and cancel analogy and antonym. Specifically, these abilities include: analyzing a text and drawing conclusions; Derived from incomplete data; Determine the author's premises/assumptions and opinions; Understand the multi-level meaning of language and words, including literal meaning, rhetorical meaning and author's intention. , select important viewpoints, and distinguish major discourses from minor/related discourses; Summarize the full text; Understand the structure of the article and the meaning of words, sentences and paragraphs; Understanding the relationship between different words and concepts emphasizes complex reasoning ability, and advanced cognitive skills are more based on context understanding. For example, reading comprehension reduces the investigation of simple vocabulary meaning (rote learning), cancels analogy and antonym questions, and expands the choice of new questions and skills in the article. Choose a sentence from the article to increase the number of answers.
Mathematics: The mathematics part still pays attention to the same mathematical concepts as before, but introduces more life scenes, highlighting the examination of candidates' ability to interpret numbers. Mainly in whether you have the basic concepts and skills to use arithmetic, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics; Whether quantitative information can be interpreted and analyzed; Whether mathematical models can be used to solve problems and improve the ratio of life scene problems to data interpretation problems. The key training abilities in mathematics include reading, interpreting and analyzing quantitative information, using mathematical models to solve problems, using basic concepts and skills in arithmetic, algebra, geometry and probability statistics, emphasizing quantitative reasoning ability, improving the ratio of life scene questions to data interpretation questions, providing online calculators to reduce the amount of calculation, and typing numerical answers with new questions and skills.
