The tasks in the Analytical Writing measure relate to a broad range of subjects - from the fine arts and humanities to the social and physical sciences - but no task requires knowledge of specific content. In fact, each task has been tested by actual GRE? test takers to ensure that it possesses several important characteristics, including the following:
GRE test takers, regardless of their field of study or special interests, understood the task and could easily respond to it.
The task elicited the kinds of complex thinking and persuasive writing that university faculty consider important for success in graduate school.
The responses were varied in content and in the way the writers developed their ideas.
我们有理由猜测,ETS虽然当年给出了这样一条准则,但当时连ETS自己或许都不能保证自己的题目肯定是不需要任何知识背景的。因为ETS不知道作为某些在美国学生眼里的常识,海外考生是否真的也认为是常识。或许正是由于这个原因,之前的GRE issue写作才会设置成2选1的考试形式。
而在新G时代,在积累了10年的数据和信息之后,ETS已经对每道题库的题目有了充分的把握。于是,取消了2选1的考试形式的同时,也意味着ETS有足够的自信说,题库中的所有题目,无论哪道题,都能保证考生,即便没有任何背景知识,依然能够写出文章来。换句话说,现在的新G考试,是真正体现考题公平的。
