2016年GMAT考试新政

2016年的GMAT考试早已拉开战幕，但是有些关于最新的GMAT考试新政还是有必要了解一下，以充足的准备迎战2016GMAT！

 

其实早在2015年的7月初GMAT考试官方就已经宣布从2015年7月19日起实施GMAT考试改革新政策，具体包括以下内容：

 

The Graduate Management Admission Council® (GMAC®) is committed to enabling potential MBA candidates to connect with the best opportunity for and access to graduate management education. As such, GMAC is introducing three new features to improve and streamline the GMAT exam experience for test takers. GMAC asked thousands of candidates and test takers about their GMAT experience and how to make it better. We listened and took action. These new features and options for test takers are effective July 19, 2015.

1. Cancelled Scores Removed from Score Reports 即GMAT成绩单中删除已经取消成绩的C标记。

 

The “C” that represents a candidate’s cancelled scores will not be shown on any future GMAT score reports generated by GMAC. This means that when a test taker cancels their score, only the test taker will know. This feature will be applied retroactively to all previously cancelled test scores, which will be removed from all future score reports that are sent to schools. However, score reports with cancelled scores have already been sent to schools, they can’t be modified.

 

Removing cancelled scores from the score reports will help candidates gain more control and confidence of their GMAT experience—something that candidates have repeatedly asked for. In a survey of more than 3,000 students, 85% o respondents indicated that they would like to see the “C” removed from their score reports. This feature will also help deter any misinterpretations of cancelled scores in candidate profiles.Please reference the Cancelled Score Policy Update FAQ for additional questions.

 

GMAT考试结束后，考生可以根据自己在考试中的表现，选择保留或取消本次考试成绩，从而一定程度上避免因为表现较差导致的低分被计入成绩单中。但即使考试选择了取消成绩，成绩单上仍会出现一个代表取消的“C”，对于追求完美的考生来说多少有些心里不踏实的感觉，而本次改变后，此标示将被彻底删除，以后也不会再显示在成绩单上，考生可以更加放心刷分，而不必担心因此留下任何记录。而之前考试成绩单中的取消标示，也将被一并删除。

2. Repeat Exams Allowed after 16 Days即两次考试时间间隔缩短到16天#p#分页标题#e#

 

Candidates have the option to retake the GMAT exam after a 16-day time period (versus the current 31-day retake period). This allows candidates the flexibility to retake the exam within a shorter period of time in order to accommodate their schedules, study habits, peak performance times, and/or school deadlines. As always, candidates can’t exceed five GMAT exams within a 12-month period.

 

以前两次GMAT考试时间最短间隔为31天。本次调整后两次考试间隔时间将缩减为16天，可以方便考生在更短的时间内连续参考，对于急需考试成绩来进行申请的考生来说，是极为方便的措施。当然，每12个月内5次的参考限制仍然保留。这就意味着考生能够在短期内通过多次参考来进行刷分，更有效率地提升自己的GMAT成绩。需要注意的是，由于生效日为7月19日，因此在此日期之前报名，仍需按照31天的间隔来进行考试时间的选择。

3. Authentication Code Replaced with Date of Birth即用于网上查分的验证码将用考生生日替代

 

Candidates will be able to view their Official Score Report online using their date of birth to authenticate their access. A separate authentication code will no longer be issued at the test center.

 

GMAT考生通过网上在线查分时，需要输入独立的身份验证密码，查询过程较为繁琐。本次改革后，考生可直接输入个人生日日期信息进行验证，更为方便地查到自己的考试成绩，而不需要再多记一组额外的密码，为考生省去很多麻烦。
