月23号考完AW,今天从ETS来了封信,说"We are writing to you because ETS is concerned,based on a preliminary review,that there appears to be substantial evidence that your scores on the April 23,2007 Graduate Record Examinations(GRE)General Test are invalid."后面又说什么我的作文涉嫌雷同,可能要取消我成绩,需要我和他们联系,“adress their concerns“。并给了我两种选择:1是在他们将这事送交给ETS'S Board of Review(是一个最终审判机构)之前(六月11号前)写信(非email)或传真给他们答复,(大概要我给出非抄袭的证据),2是告诉他们取消我分数,并退钱给我。
然后还寄了本“Why and How ETS Questions Test Scores”给我,这本小书上面有更详细的内容,上面关于选择部分有另外一个:重考,说可以通过这种方式来辨别分数的真实性限制是非笔考,但给我的信上没这个选择。
大概就是这个意思,如果需要更详细情况,我马上会追加。我感觉自己的原因是issue用了个北美范文的小例子,就是原子弹的正负作用
我想问的是:
1.以前大家听说过有这种案例吗?一般最后是如何解决的?
2.给他们的回信应该怎么写?现在我该怎么做?该有哪些大致的打算?
3.他们还有一次最终审判,一般挽救的几率有多大?是否现在应该继续备考笔试部分?
4.前面提到的retest重考是否可以选择?
由于这里快寄到美国大约需要10天,所以情况紧急,希望大家能够提供帮助,感激不尽!
下面是具体的信件,是用air mail寄来得书面信
Dear x x x :
We are writing to you because ETS is concerned, based on a preliminary review,that there appears to be substantial evidence that your scores on the March 15, 2003 Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test are invalid. 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 substantial evidence that they are invalid. The enclosed booklet, Why andHow 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,the ETS writing staff noticed that your essay on the issue 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 reviewsdetermined that a portion of your essay contains ideas, language and/or examples found in other test taker essays or from published sources.The primary purpose of the GRE Analytical Writing is to demonstrate an individual's 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 tosend us any information that addresses our concerns. 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 June 11,2007. 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 likeETS to cancel your scores and send you a voucher that can be used for registering for a future test, you must tell us by June 11,2007.
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 opportunityto 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 scores decide whetheror 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.
In addition to the options listed above, we acknowledge your legal right to seek judicial review of Board of Review decisions.
ETS strives to preserve the integrity of the testing process by balancing the need for accurate test scores with the interests of all test takers in being treated fairly. We regret, and will try to minimize, any inconvenience to you. ETS will also treat this as a confidential matter unless you choose to inform others or authorize us to do so.
Please write to me via air mail, or send me a fax (609) 406-9709, if you wouldlike to discuss this letter, submit information, or select one of the available options. Any future correspondence regarding this matter, or any documents that you would like to submit to the Board of Review, should be addressed to:
