求助！急！今天收到ETS信件怀疑作文雷同！

T4CUID: 2725036

今天早上收到ETS寄来的air mail, 拆开一看发现竟然是怀疑我的作文雷同的！信件具体内容贴在后面，大致说的是ETS在一个叫quality control process的过程中怀疑我的作文雷同，最终的决定由3个Board of Review的家伙判定，如果其中有一个人认为作文中没有substantial evidence supporting cancellation of your scores，那么成绩有效，如果3个人都认为作文雷同，那么我有2个选择：1.取消成绩（似乎能得到一个refund）2.把成绩连同ETS cancel 的原因和我的explanation一起寄送出去，让送分学校自己决定。不过ETS说” At your request, we will send you(or, in the case of secure test materials, give you an opportunity to examine) the materials that reflect our concerns.”，并且在11月20号之前可以寄给他们任何证明自己清白的材料。

请问有人有同样的悲剧经历吗？如果有还望分享你的经历。

另外想请大家帮忙想想可以怎么证明自己的作文不是抄袭（严格的说，中国考生绝大多数都用了模板、例句之类，我的issue完全是凭感觉写的，没有背诵过任何语句，语言估计很朴实通俗，argument参考了网上的提纲，然后自己整合的，也用了网上的模板），万分感谢！！！

还有想请问下传真和ETS联系的步骤是怎样的（以前没用过传真，而且20号之前要寄材料过去，急！），以及怎样向ETS索取响应的材料（比如ETS提到的the materials that reflect our concerns，还有ETS判定雷同的依据等），谢谢！！

下面是信件内容：
Dear Mr. XX:
We are writing to you because ETS is concerned, based on a preliminary review, that there appears to be evidence that your scores on the July 24, 2009 Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test are invalid.（悲剧的开始） As you acknowledged when you registered for the test, ETS has the right to review the validity of test scores, and to cancel questionable scores when we believe there is evidence that they are invalid. The enclosed booklet, Why and How Educational Testing Service Questions Test Scores, provides important information about this process, and we urge you to read it carefully.
Our preliminary concerns are based on the following factor(s). In the quality control process（不知道是什么process，与https://bbs.gter.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=131821&fpage=1&highlight=%C0%D7%CD%AC%2B%D7%F7%B1%D7 中讲的essay reading session不太一样
）, the ETS writing staff noticed that your essay on a specific topic has unusual similarities with other essays written on the same topic. This was noticeable since the essays for which you receive a score should be your own original and independent work. Further reviews determined that a portion of your essay contains ideas, language and/or examples found in other test takers essays or from published sources. The primary purpose of the GRE Analytical Writing is to allow way individuals to demonstrate their own critical thinking and analytical writing skills, based on the way they present their own thoughts. It is impossible to evaluate such skills when the essay reflects what may be someone else’s work. The anomalies noted above raise concerns about the validity of your scores.
At your request, we will send you(or, in the case of secure test materials, give you an opportunity to examine) the materials that reflect our concerns.
Final decisions about whether there is substantial evidence supporting cancellation of test scores are made by three-member panels of ETS’s Board of Review. Before the Board of Review considers this matter, you have an opportunity to send us any information that addresses our concern. Feel free to consult with other people whose judgment you trust. We must receive any information you would like the Board of Review to consider by November 20, 2009. Any information we receive by that date, as well as other information about your scores, will be considered by the Board of Review.
If you do not wish the Board of Review to consider this matter, and would like ETS to cancel your scores and send you a voucher that can be used for registering for a future test, you must tell us by November 20, 2009.
If any single Board of Review member decides that there is not substantial evidence supporting cancellation of your scores, ETS will clear your scores and report them to the institutions you designated. If, on the other hand, all three members of the Board of Review panel determine that there is substantial evidence supporting cancellation of your scores, you will be given an opportunity to select one of the options listed below. These options are described more fully in the enclosed booklet.
1.Tell us to cancel your scores. You will receive a refund of your test fee in the form of a voucher that you can use to register for another scheduled administration.
2.Let the school or agency to which you are sending the scored decide whether or not to use the scores which ETS will first cancel. We will send them our reasons for canceling your scores with your explanation. We will do this only if the school or agency agrees to participate.
后面还有些废话就省略了。

我听学校的某讲座时，某师姐也遇到了这个问题，当时只是提了一嘴：ETS可能会给你寄一些相关材料来证明涉嫌抄袭，好像她花了几百人民币在信里跟ETS理论了几次，就好了，最后给她了4.5。要跟ETS理论自己并没有原句抄袭，而且涉嫌抄袭的内容不超过一定比例（30%？不确定具体数字）就不算抄袭了。她那天没有详细说，具体细节就不知道了。或者你如果上了新东方可以问问教过你的老师，貌似她就问过。LZ就不要问我那个师姐的信息啦，确实不认识，只是讲座听她说了一句。坚持理论下吧，好运~

谢谢！这样子感觉有些希望了。
不知道大家还能不能给些建议，先谢谢了！

1.认定认准认死自己没有抄袭的行为（包括套模板尤其是argument，用万能句式:there is no evidence that这种，还有用他人思路，大段抄袭来自网络的名人事迹作为例子）的话，是可以将自己的一些想法，备考相关资料寄过去解释的，有一些可能会还你清白。

2.如果不能认定，那就不要费无用功了，ETS决不会轻易的判定一个人的文章雷同，只要是判了，一定是有证据的，不要抱侥幸心理，更不要去捏造事实，没用的，美国现在有一个turniton网站，专门收费来提供抄袭检查，非常先进。甚至能把你在哪个public网页或者书籍上抄了多少内容，抄了多少创意都查出来。

最后说一句不好听的...按照你的描述，我认为申诉没戏。

我比较同意666的，这算是一桩惨案。

T4CUID: 2725036

先说声谢谢！
我还是觉得自己作文的准备方式跟大多数人一样。issue自己准备的很少，例子有借鉴，但思路大致还是自己的。argu虽然参考了网上的提纲，但还是按自己的想法来反驳的，虽然看过提纲可能会带有一些别人的想法，但为什么不能说这是自己通过学习得到的一种思维方式呢？模板用的人应该也很多，为什么不能说这是通过写作训练而形成的呢？（事实上也就是如此啊）
另外你在1.中提到的讲想法以及备考资料寄送过去，指的是一些什么呢？

那我也问个问题。。那些作文被判抄袭的人一定都会受到这封信吗？。。还是说。。只是觉得可能但又不确定的情况下才会寄信呢。。？

jjs1986UID: 2478040

总觉得你越描述越像抄袭的

T4CUID: 2725036

额。。。但感觉模板还有提纲大家总都是看过吧，这样就要判抄袭吗？

我是看了很多模板后写了几篇，然后按自己的感觉整理出的一套自己的模板，应该不算照抄吧？

我也很悲惨的收到了 雷同信。。。。。。。
我看附带的 booklet 里有说retest，但是不太明白，LZ你知道是什么意思吗？
还有我现在考虑要不要取消掉，但是这样的话，好像连同笔试都没有成绩了哦，很难受。

T4CUID: 2725036

同病相怜啊。。。大致意思是再考一次作文，然后以此证明你没有抄袭，不过感觉似乎对中国考生不太现实。
还是不要主动cancel吧，反正最后如果ETS还是判定作文雷同的话可以选择cancel的。
你当时作文考试的情况怎样啊？有多少是参考别人的？

还请大家帮帮忙出出主意啊，谢谢！！！

argument也不能都是一个模板出来的吧。。。

wztyayaUID: 2567316

argument是背的模板，issue背了几个例子，不过也不至于就雷同了啊！
重新考作文？？
这个怎么重新考啊？再单独交下机考的费用 然后选择日期重新考？

还有啊，我信上说11月30日前要给他们答复，否则他们会把作为上报到复审小组那里最后看是否成绩有效，那如果最后他们还是认定成绩无效，还能取消成绩吗？我怎么在他给我发信里和手册上没看到？我就怕这次搞不好再记录里留下个什么作文雷同的东西影响以后申请。愁死我了。
