那就是说考试题型还是传统的一样，还有指路题和推荐地方题？

jjliyUID: 134309

题目应该和ETS网站上的题型一样
有两道新题，没有指路题了
但我现在不明白
新题到底记不记分
如果不记分，那就只有7道题记分了？
是不是这样啊？

我的理解是，ETS采用正式的新题型之前，会有一个过渡时期，测验性地推出新题型，以便检查是否达到他们期望的效果。所以，在过度期内，新体形是不算分的。

你们有看过03-04年的tse bulletin吗？上面的题型和网页上提供的是一样的，就是有新题型，但应该不算分，当然他没说。

paisley,我同意你的观点,我也是这么理解的.

我也觉得的是今年八月会采用“7＋2”型，“9＋3”可能型不大，而且新题型也应该是不算分的，

jjliyUID: 134309

哪里有7+2题型的SAMPLE TEST？

fenzai04UID: 26944

我的“八月tse大变脸。。。。”的帖子上就有

fenzai04UID: 26944

tse的答复有点自相矛盾，，他说，将采用03－04的bullitine（上面是13题we see），，然而他又说 include nine questions，，，so，，waht is his meaning？？

Thank you for contacting the TOEFL Program.

Regarding your inquiry:

All information regarding the TSE administration can be found in the
2003-2004 TSE Bulletin, as well as our on our website www.toefl.org.

As stated in the TSE Bulletin, the sample questions are similar to the
ones you will be answering on the day of your test.

The Test of Spoken English (TSE) measures the ability of nonnative
speakers of English to communicate orally in English. The test is
approximately 20 minutes long and includes nine questions.

Your performance on the TSE indicates how your oral language ability
might affect your ability to communicate successfully in an academic or
professional environment. TSE scores are used by many North American
institutions of higher education to select international teaching
assistants, sometimes called ITAs. The scores also are used for selecting and
certifying health professionals, such as physicians, nurses,
pharmacists, physical therapists, and veterinarians.

The test requires you to demonstrate your ability to communicate in
English by responding orally under timed conditions to a variety of
printed and recorded information.

On the day of the test, a recorded interviewer will ask you questions.
Some of the questions will be printed in the test book, and the time
you will have to answer each one is printed in parentheses after the
questions.

While most of the questions on the test may not appear to be directly
related to your academic or professional field, each question is
designed to tell the raters how well you communicate in English.

If you write to us again, include all previous messages.

刚刚查到托福成绩620、5.5。tse差不到
现在找不到了toefl当初给我的回复原文了
不过，当初tse自己也不知道会出什么题，前茅后盾的。最后，也就是考前的前一天tse确信跟我说有只有9题，但实际上考了13道题，虽然我恨死了tse言而无信，但我觉得多考了4题并没有影响我的考试，照样见题就说。只不过心里老揣摩这道题算不算分。所以大家还是悉心准备为上策。说多了，练多了，自然而然就熟能生巧。

我在想，等tse出来啦，不管好坏，我的表示一下，以感谢众位gter。
