2016年的GMAT考試早已拉開戰幕，但是有些關于最新的GMAT考試新政還是有必要了解一下，以充足的準備迎戰2016GMAT！

 

其實早在2015年的7月初GMAT考試官方就已經宣布從2015年7月19日起實施GMAT考試改革新政策，具體包括以下內容：

 

The Graduate Management Admission Council® (GMAC®) is committed to enabling potential MBA candidates to connect with the best opportunity for and access to graduate management education. As such, GMAC is introducing three new features to improve and streamline the GMAT exam experience for test takers. GMAC asked thousands of candidates and test takers about their GMAT experience and how to make it better. We listened and took action. These new features and options for test takers are effective July 19, 2015.

1. Cancelled Scores Removed from Score Reports 即GMAT成績單中刪除已經取消成績的C標記。

 

The “C” that represents a candidate’s cancelled scores will not be shown on any future GMAT score reports generated by GMAC. This means that when a test taker cancels their score, only the test taker will know. This feature will be applied retroactively to all previously cancelled test scores, which will be removed from all future score reports that are sent to schools. However, score reports with cancelled scores have already been sent to schools, they can’t be modified.

 

Removing cancelled scores from the score reports will help candidates gain more control and confidence of their GMAT experience—something that candidates have repeatedly asked for. In a survey of more than 3,000 students, 85% o respondents indicated that they would like to see the “C” removed from their score reports. This feature will also help deter any misinterpretations of cancelled scores in candidate profiles.Please reference the Cancelled Score Policy Update FAQ for additional questions.

 

GMAT考試結束后，考生可以根據自己在考試中的表現，選擇保留或取消本次考試成績，從而一定程度上避免因為表現較差導致的低分被計入成績單中。但即使考試選擇了取消成績，成績單上仍會出現一個代表取消的“C”，對于追求完美的考生來說多少有些心里不踏實的感覺，而本次改變后，此標示將被徹底刪除，以后也不會再顯示在成績單上，考生可以更加放心刷分，而不必擔心因此留下任何記錄。而之前考試成績單中的取消標示，也將被一并刪除。

2. Repeat Exams Allowed after 16 Days即兩次考試時間間隔縮短到16天#p#分頁標題#e#

 

Candidates have the option to retake the GMAT exam after a 16-day time period (versus the current 31-day retake period). This allows candidates the flexibility to retake the exam within a shorter period of time in order to accommodate their schedules, study habits, peak performance times, and/or school deadlines. As always, candidates can’t exceed five GMAT exams within a 12-month period.

 

以前兩次GMAT考試時間最短間隔為31天。本次調整后兩次考試間隔時間將縮減為16天，可以方便考生在更短的時間內連續參考，對于急需考試成績來進行申請的考生來說，是極為方便的措施。當然，每12個月內5次的參考限制仍然保留。這就意味著考生能夠在短期內通過多次參考來進行刷分，更有效率地提升自己的GMAT成績。需要注意的是，由于生效日為7月19日，因此在此日期之前報名，仍需按照31天的間隔來進行考試時間的選擇。

3. Authentication Code Replaced with Date of Birth即用于網上查分的驗證碼將用考生生日替代

 

Candidates will be able to view their Official Score Report online using their date of birth to authenticate their access. A separate authentication code will no longer be issued at the test center.

 

GMAT考生通過網上在線查分時，需要輸入獨立的身份驗證密碼，查詢過程較為繁瑣。本次改革后，考生可直接輸入個人生日日期信息進行驗證，更為方便地查到自己的考試成績，而不需要再多記一組額外的密碼，為考生省去很多麻煩。
