首先,如果您非常的不甘心只拿目前的分数,而且根本不在乎复议那点钱,您完全可以忽略我下面这篇文章.

=============================
每到出分的日子,版上难免会有人咨询复议的问题.针对不同的版友的具体情况我也给过一些个人意见.抛开涨分可能性的这个问题不谈,我希望每个人在复议前,都扪心自问两个问题.

1.我的实力和考试当天的表现是否只值现在的分数?
请注意,是实力,而并非努力.努力并不是百分之百的转化成实力的.

2.我对ETS的口语和写作的评分标准是否足够了解?
有了实力,可是答题答不到点子上自然也是难以取得高分的.

有的人或许觉得,我的口语怎么怎么好,外教都夸我没有口音;我在外企上班,每天跟老外打交道,口语还不至少拿一个good. 哎呀,我的AW都拿了5分,怎么区区iBT还没有拿两个good ?!那可保不准,说不定您还真就拿不到两个good.

ETS门下各类考试名目众多,风风雨雨这么多年,不要置疑和低估ETS挑选的rater的能力.虽然有些人复议涨分了,但我相信有更多的人分数没变,也有降分的,而这些人是不会在版上透露这些情况的.

下面这几段都引自ETS官方网站. 想复议的那些版友们,我请你花那么几分钟的时间,仔细阅读以下内容,对ETS是如何评分,怎样评分能有个大概了解.

一些比较宽泛的规则

What scoring method is used?
Raters are trained to score responses holistically, evaluating the overall quality of thinking and writing against the Independent and Integrated Scoring Guides for Speaking and Writing. For speaking tests, raters assign scores ranging from 4 (high) to 0 (unscorable). For writing tests, raters assign scores ranging from 5 (high) to 0 (unscorable).

What steps are taken to provide accurate scoring?
Scoring leaders (highly experienced TOEFL iBT raters who supervise the scoring sessions) and TOEFL iBT online support materials help ensure that scoring is consistent and accurate.

What Is Holistic Scoring?
The holistic scoring method is based on the theory that a whole piece of writing is greater than the sum of its parts. With this method, essays are read for the total impression they create, rather than for individual aspects.

Integrated criteria
Raters award a single score for the overall quality of essays based on an integrated set of specified criteria. Criteria typically include organization, development of ideas, style, mechanics, diction, and usage. These facets are judged together, not separately.

Scoring consistency
Most programs have published scoring criteria that are applied consistently across scoring sessions. While many raters have vast experience in evaluating writing, they should understand that, for essays to be scored fairly and consistently, they must adjust to the overall standards set for the particular test program.
