[分享]关于06年换东家以及OG权威性问题的GMAC官方回复

LRzealot

我写过信给gmac，请大家注意GMAC用词。

Dear officer of GMAT transition team,

 As a perspective test-taker, I am very concerned with the extent to which 

GMAT will change as a result of change of vendor. 

Would you please tell me whether the current 10th edition Official Guide 

for GMAT review will still be considered authritative for the new GMAT to 

be delievered by ACT in Jan, 2006?

Sincerely,

A perspective test-taker

 下面是ETS的回信：

You asked very interesting questions - ones we considered very carefully 

throughout our request for proposal development process and even more carefully 

as we evaluated the GMAT test development proposals of ETS, ACT and others. 

First, there will be no change in GMAT content. GMAC will continue to provide 

the same reliable, valid and comparable GMAT with ACT as it has with ETS. We 

have no plans to change GMAT content during the transition period. The GMAT 

test is a quality exam of which we are very proud. 

Second, I'm sure you will agree that a quality test administration program 

requires high standards of performance and strict compliance therewith. Hence 

by definition quality must be replicable. In selecting ACT as our test 

development vendor, we sought high quality, expertise and professionalism at 

least comparable to what we receive with ETS. 

Finally, those "thousands and thousands" of GMAT questions belong to GMAC, not 

ETS. 

I hope these comments allay some of the concerns you expressed in your email.

注意“Finally, those "thousands and thousands" of GMAT questions belong to GMAC, not

ETS. ”

里面提到， 题目是GMAC的， 也就是说GMAC有权利继续在06年后使用现在由ETS开发的题库。这也是为什么参见香港测试考试的xdjm会碰GWD的原因。

现在的很多谣言说会有大变化，个人认为都是有经济利益的， 就是为了让学生觉得自习没有底细，要报班才行。。。

我的理解，大家不要怪我。。。

御风行

觉得楼主说的很有道理。
大家先不要恐慌，gmac自己也是要维护自己信誉的……

是啊，作为一项入学重要参考指数的考试，为了维持其成绩的有效性和证明力，即使换东家也不会在前期有太大变革的...毕竟2005年考试的考生，其成绩到2010年才失效，为了在申请时和2006、2007、2008、2009年参加gmat的考生有可比度，gmac不会允许变动太大的。

anyway...会计一般前提之一：一贯性。

谢谢lz分享！

5年内的要具有可比性,可不可以这样理解?

05年的要和10年的分数可比,那么10的肯定要和15的可比,15和20可比,这样GMAT考试就永远不变了

看见还有很多xdjm在问这个问题。大家其实可以用CD搜索功能。很多大家都关心的问题都有回答。这样就可以避免重复提问，减少各版斑竹的工作量，也方便大家集中讨论。。。

这是老贴，只好自己顶上来。。。不要踩我
