GRE作文复议详细流程

本文记述了在我复议GRE作文期间发生的事和我的感受。对于参加GRE考试的同学,本文可以作为参考,因为我所经历的也可能发生在你的身上。

一.前言

写这篇文章的目的并不是想要得瑟或是炫耀,因为GRE考好了并不是决定性的,只是成功的开始。由于E(和谐)T(和谐)S采用软件批阅作文,误判的概率还是很高的。我在复议期间时常逛逛太傻之类的论坛,发现上面间或有人发出哀嚎:作文分数怎么这么低!才2.5!之所以“(和谐)”是怕多事,因为有个人作文被判为抄袭,原因是在考试结束的时候这个人把自己的作文放到了论坛上,被考试机构查到了。因此还是小心为妙。

通过一个月零20天左右的复议申请,虽然我消耗了很多感情、时间还有RMB,但是还是有不少收获的:

1.锻炼了办事能力。打电话给在美国的E(和谐)T(和谐)S、发邮件与对方客服人员交流;为了visa卡的事咨询银行(结果发现学校里的银行不给学生办visa卡……)、让爸妈去办visa卡、向别人借visa卡卡号等等。在一定程度上提高了我的书面沟通能力、口语水平。

2.锻炼的我的耐心。刚得知作文分数的时候我非常的震惊,因为在考场上写作文的时候我就感觉非常好,肯定是高分。没想到只有2.5分。这个打击对我来说真的是很大,因为语文、数学这两项考得都非常不错,难道我的努力和GRE成绩就要因为作文这一项就泡汤了吗?当时的我真是很苦闷。不仅仅使苦闷而且是困惑,怎么可能这么低!在准备作文的过程中,我挑了7个用途广泛的话题写了7篇issue并且背诵下来,至于argument我列出了所有的提纲。在实际考试时,issue题目是科研人员应该干点别的事,我背的作文是“学生应该多学些课程”,多类似啊!Argument的题目正好是我写的20篇argument之一。我感觉2.5分肯定不足以反映我的作文水平和比较艰辛的努力。尽管心急如麻,但我还是比较镇定地上网查阅了关于作文复议的经验贴,做到了心中有数并坚定了申请复议的决心。在整个复议过程中,状况不断,我还是做到了比较淡定地处理。

前后分数对比:

这是最开始的分数。在复议期间,原始分数是没办法查看的。

这是复议结束后的分数。作文分已经够用了,结果比较令我满意。

二.几点说明/致谢

1.查分时间和网址:在考试结束后2周就可以查分数。查分数的网站并不是报名网站,而是https:///greweb/login/login.jsp

你需要注册,注册信息要和报名网站上的信息完全一致。

2.如感到分数不对劲,请尽快查阅相关资料、下定决心。作文复议的有效期是考试结束后6个月。

3.关于交流方式。如果你需要打电话向对方咨询,那一定要打越洋电话。此时你可以买一张电话卡,50块,只打不接,可以和美国方面通话140分钟,有效期90天。网址为:/trade/detail/tradeSnap.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.135.dFSFIY&tradeID=2

48053674397804考试机构的电话号:1-609-771-7670or1-866-473-4373

邮件,对方邮箱是gre-info@。我用的邮箱就是qq邮箱。联系时间是北京时间晚上8点以后(对方的上班时间)。

传真,请一定要问清楚这台传真机可不可以发送越洋传真。我问过校园里的两家复印店,都不行。最后用的是爹妈单位的传真机。传真的时间也是对方的上班时间。传真号:1-610-290-8975

4.付款方式。如果你要申请复议,GRE账户(不是报名账户)中要有钱,如果没钱的话考试机构会收取20美元并且不会返款。作文复议的费用是55美元,开始时不会收取,如果复议失败会收取的。也就是说这部分钱是可以返回的。支付方式有visa卡、支票、汇票。推荐visa,只要将visa卡卡号通过传真发送给考试机构即可,非常方便。

5.如何开始复议流程?

将你的复议请求写成RequesttoRescore传真给美国的考试机构。传真件要包含你当场考试的信息、个人信息,还要有你对自己行为的说明(self-defense);当然还要有一个有效的visa卡来付账,写清楚有效期限。第一份文档包含以上信息就可以了。

在整个复议过程中要不间断地发邮件、打电话确认、交流。要确认考试机构收到了你的申请和钱;确认你的申请正在被处理;确认结果和时间等。在这个过程中就不要心疼电话费了。前文说的电话卡需要打到北京再转到国外,所以长途电话费是免不了了。我大概打了70分钟电话,花了几十块钱。打电话时用口语沟通的能力也是很重要的,比如当对方说关于银行的单词时我就不大听得懂,说地址的时候也是。

6.声明:那个电话卡还有70分钟的通话时间,6月末过期。谁想用可以联系我。

7.意外事件。有一段时间考试机构告诉我“没成功扣费”,使复议流程暂停。我很是不解、急躁。再发送个传真就行了。如果扣费成功,对方会告诉你“paidinfull”。

8.复议结束。主动发邮件询问,对方会告诉你“分数变了”,说明你复议成功,那就恭喜了。

9.致谢。感谢自己的冷静处理、爸妈的全力配合和鼓励、赵HY对我的信任(扣费不成功的时候我向他借visa卡)。

四.往来信件的摘要

这部分包含的往来信件:我发送的“RequesttoRescore”还有往来邮件。摘取重要的信息一并呈上。
