Reading  Skills	Level	Your Performance
Reading	High(22-30)	Test takers who receive a score at the HIGH level, as you did, typically understand academic texts in English that require a wide range of reading abilities regardless of the difficulty of the texts. Test takers who score at the HIGH level, typically have a very good command of academic vocabulary and grammatical structure; can understand and connect information, make appropriate inferences, and synthesize ideas, even when the text is conceptually dense and the language is complex; can recognize the expository organization of a text and the role that specific information serves within the larger text, even when the text is conceptually dense; and can abstract major ideas from a text, even when the text is conceptually dense and contains complex language.
Listening  Skills	Level	Your Performance
Listening	High(22-30)	Test takers who receive a score at the HIGH level, as you did, typically understand conversations and lectures in English that present a wide range of listening demands. These demands can include difficult vocabulary (uncommon terms, or colloquial or figurative language), complex grammatical structures, abstract or complex ideas, and/or making sense of unexpected or seemingly contradictory information. When listening to lectures and conversations like these, test takers at the HIGH level typically can understand main ideas and important details, whether they are stated or implied; distinguish more important ideas from less important ones; understand how information is being used (for example, to provide evidence for a claim or describe a step in a complex process); recognize how pieces of information are connected (for example, in a cause-and-effect relationship); understand many different ways that speakers use language for purposes other than to give information (for example, to emphasize a point, express agreement or disagreement, or convey intentions indirectly); and synthesize information, even when it is not presented in sequence, and make correct inferences on the basis of that information.
Speaking  Skills	Level	Your Performance
Speaking about familiar topics	Good(3.5 - 4.0)	Your responses indicate an ability to communicate your personal experiences and opinions effectively in English. Overall, your speech is clear and fluent. Your use of vocabulary and grammar is effective with only minor errors. Your ideas are generally well developed and expressed coherently.
Speaking about campus situations	Fair(2.5 - 3.0)	Your responses demonstrate an ability to speak in English about reading material and experiences typically encountered by university students. You are able to convey relevant information about conversations, newspaper articles, and campus bulletins; however, some details are missing or inaccurate. Limitations of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation at times cause difficulty for the listener. However, they do not seriously interfere with overall communication.
Speaking about academic course content	Good(3.5 - 4.0)	Your responses demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively in English about academic topics typical of first-year university studies. Your speech is mostly clear and fluent. You are able to use appropriate vocabulary and grammar to explain concepts and ideas from reading or lecture material. You are able to talk about key information and relevant details with only minor inaccuracies.
Writing  Skills	Level	Your Performance
Writing based on reading and listening	Fair(2.5 - 3.5)	You responded to the task, relating the lecture to the reading, but your response indicates weaknesses such as an important idea or ideas may be missing, unclear, or inaccurate; there may be unclarity in how the lecture and the reading passage are related; and/or grammatical mistakes or vague/incorrect uses of words may make the writing difficult to understand.
Writing based on knowledge and experience	Good(4.0 - 5.0)	You responded with a well-organized and developed essay. Weaknesses, if you have any, might have to do with use of English that is occasionally ungrammatical, unclear, or unidiomatic and/or elaboration of ideas or connection of ideas that could have been stronger.

分数出来了，也该做个回顾了哈：

通过网上资料的查询，我们发现美国大学对于听力和口语的要求并不高，而且总分要求也比较低。那究竟是什么成为我们拿AD或者奖学金的拦路虎呢？我发现是口语和作文，大家看看美国大学对于T的分数要求就可以发现这一点。所以，我们经常看到有牛人总分很高。SAY110，但还在询问是否要重考，其实也就是口语（或者作文）卡住了，这个真实非常可惜啊！ 所以，我个人建议，大家应该以口语和作文的单项为导向，而不是以总分为导向，这样才是比较明智的选择。

在这个思想指导下，我将重心放在了口语和作文上，最后，作文成绩出的并不理想，但口语算是对得起我的努力。而听力虽然发挥有点失常，但听力和阅读也过了美国大学的要求，所以，总的来说我还是比较满意的。

下面分类说一下：

阅读考试比较简单，我自己的阅读基础是听说读写中最低的，这次却考的最好，可见的确不难。大家在不影响口语和作文的基础上按部就班的练习就行了。

听力我的基础最好，但考得不好。一方面是临场发挥不好，另一方面，我要强调一下的就是：选项有一定的迷惑性。我们目前的练习和模考软件的听力部分的选项都比较直白，也就是说，你若听清楚了大概内容，选择起来就绝对没有问题，有时甚至没听懂的也能懵对！ 但是考试相反，往往4个选项只能一次性淘汰2个，剩下2个要好好斟酌。 大家可以做一下编号为IC09的ONLING PRACTICE就知道了。 同时，我仍然推荐BARREN的听力，比较接近真题。

口语1，2题我曾经发过自己写的20多个段子了的，现在再发一次：

1.兴趣>音乐:

I am a 200% music fan! I’ve got almost every collection of Eric Clapton, a very popular American guitarist and whenever I want to escape from my laborious homework, all that I do is just use my walkman to enjoy Eric’s beautiful lyrics! I will have a blast! And, According to my mom’s memory, I have been enjoying singing in the public ever since I was a kindergarten boy! Then, I started my own rock band and made several records of my songs and used them as gifts to my friends in my high-school graduation ceremony. And now I still love singing songs but only to myself but to my beloved girl as well. I am nuts about music! (119)

2.政治/ 一次XX的经历
                

I may go into politics, just like Bill Clinton. I used to run for student body president of my university. Because if I want to become a politician one day, I should get some experience under my belt now. On that day, I gave an election speech in front of 1500 people including my best friends and my teachers. It so was fortunate that none of them noticed I was so nervous that my voice couldn’t help
                trembling. I kept telling myself that I must hold on, and at last I won it by a hair, just 10 votes. My girlfriend Alexandre rushed onto the stage and gave me a quick kiss. That really made my day! (117)

3.礼物,发明>>电脑

I am a frequent user of computer. If I intend to get access to a variety of information around the world, I will usually surf the Internet with my computer, browsing and downloading everything interesting or useful to me. When I want to write and edit some articles, I use the word processor on the computer, which has a lot of functions that make my work much easier. If I need to make some statistic analysis, I also use the computer software like SPSS, which can relieve me of much manual calculation. In fact, my computer has become my indispensable part of my life and study, I really need it! (110)

4.最想去的地方/ 国家: (最想去新加坡)

If I’ve got a chance to go to any country in the world, I will choose Singapore without hesitation. It has been attracting me ever since my best friend Robby went to the Singapore
                    National
                    University
            three years ago.

From his E-mail, I knew that the weather in Singapore
            will never be too cold. That means I could free myself from thick and heavy clothes and enjoy lovely sunshine every day. (I can tell the life there must be snug and comfortable.)

Besides, surrounded by the
                Indonesian
                Ocean, Singapore is famous for its abundant and delicious seafood, especially lobster and sleeve-fish, which is my favorite.

Still, the tropical sceneries there are also fascinating. I bet they will be much more beautiful than those in Robby’s pictures. (127)

5.三种交通工具：自行车，汽车，火车，喜欢坐哪一个？(选择自行车)

Though I admire my friend Robby who has a fancy car very much, bicycle is still my favorite one.

First of all, riding bicycle is a physical exercise which does good to my fitness. Every day it takes me about 20 minutes on my bike from my apartment to the university and by that I am in good shape and seldom catch a cold.

Moreover, bicycle is quite friendly to our environment. It’ll create little harmful carbon dioxide to the air as trains and cars do.

What’s more, it is wise to use a bicycle in rush hour when cars are desperately waiting in heavy traffic jams. And it is interesting to hear Robby saying that he also admires
            me of owning a bike! (124)

6.你认为作为一个朋友最重要的特点是什么? (聪明的朋友最好)

Well, I think a friend with intelligence is most desirable, because he can help me handle tough situations. I used to have difficulty in remembering chemical terms. Fortunately, my smartest Robby lent a hand and
                gave me a crash course a week before the final exam and with that I got an A minus!

Also, I could benefit a lot from
                learning from him, such as the way he arranges his notes and how to use software to make statistic analysis.

Still, he sets a good example for me to follow. Currently I am working much harder than before, wishing to be as competitive and capable as he is. (111)

7. Weak subject (最烂的科目:数学) 

Mathematics is really not my cup of tee

Mathematics: 1) abstract: based on imagination, could understand it; do not know how things are operated under its principle
                

            2) Have to memorize many formulas and equations, though I tried hard, still couldn’t get a satisfactory mark as my friends Robby does
                 my parents are disappointed again and again I am also down in the dumps after each test

8. Gift(泰迪熊)

Teddy bear: farewell gift from my girlfriend-Alexander went to America to pursue her Master
            degree in Biology >>though I miss her so much, I can still count on my Teddy bear to cheer me up.

           When I am faced with hard times my little bear will also whisper her words around my ears “Robby, You are the best!” and I will feel energetic and brave enough to face all the difficulties and challenges again

 It is not just a toy but also love between me and Alexandre. I really need it                        

9. Food(最爱吃鱿鱼)

Sleeve-fish

Delicious, especially when fried with traditional Chinese seasonings.   

Healthy>>fat free, rich in nutritious and it is said that sleeve-fish contains a certain substance that could prevent human from getting cancers

Also I love it because it is my girlfriend Alexandre’s favorite food. The experience of sharing sleeve-fish with her has become my most cherished moment in my life.

10. Pet(宠物狗)

I would like to have a dog as a pet, because accompanied by a dog, you will never feel alone. Your dog will always play with you and asks for your love and care. It will never betray you and follow your orders all the time.

And, it is of much fun to have your doggy jogging with you in the morning. As long as you can persist, it will never stop running. It is very interesting! 

Dogs are very alert in the evening because they put their ears directly onto the floor as they sleep. You can hire them to be you family’s night-watcher. They are very dependable! (109)

11. Hometown(我的家乡:合肥)
                

My hometown is He fei, which is the capital of An Hei province in the east coast of China. It has three characteristics which make it very famous.

First of all, the weather there will never be too cold. That means you could free yourself from thick and heavy clothes in winter and enjoy lovely sunshine every day

And, because of its location, He fei has abundant seafood, especially lobsters and sleeve-fish, which are very delicious when fried with traditional Chinese seasonings.

Furthermore, the sceneries there are also gorgeous. It owns one of the most famous mountains in China—Yellow
                    Mountain, which is attracting countless tourists around the world. (109)

12. Restaurant(“学生之家”饭店)

I would like to recommend a small restaurant named STUDENTS’ HOME near my college. It is quite attractive to me and my classmates.

First of all, the food there is quite delicious. The cook is very good at preparing food which is not only good to look at but even better to taste.

Besides, the prices there are reasonable. Fried eggs with tomatoes is 4 Yuan. Steamed pork with peanuts is 7 Yuan. Sometimes it costs even less than the dishes in school’s mess hall!

Still, the waitress there is kind and warm-hearted to us. We could enjoy a comfortable and cozy atmosphere there. I really love this little place! (116)

13. Unforgettable event(高中毕业典礼)

It was my high school graduation ceremony
            on July the 7^th, 2001. We gathered at the playground at 3:30 and stood in rows to take pictures with Headmaster Mr. Zhang and our teachers from different subjects. Everybody was trying to smile at the camera, disguising their complicated emotions. Then we were dismissed and said goodbye to our dear teachers and friends, with whom we had studied and lived together for 3 years. I could still remember my best friend Robby’s words: “Today, we end one part of our lives and begin an entirely new future.” (96)

14. Important decision(坚持音乐理想)

Just before my college entrance exam, I had a long and fierce debate with my parents about what major to study. Although they opposed my idea of studying music strongly, I still insisted on my interest and made my decision.

I am a 200% music fan and have my heart set on music industry. So in the 1^st semester, I started a rock band and just 4 weeks later I released the 1^st record <<My dream>>. Last month, after my performance in a music bar, a talent agent invited me to his company for a commercial MTV.

I’m so glad that I made the right decision and followed my heart to where it belongs. (110)

15 Skills(电脑技能)

Computer skill（同上）

16. Book(小说<<迷失>>)

<<The lost>> is a very interesting book about an old legend of France; this book is also very popular among my classmates. By reading it, I not only broadened my horizon not also leant quite a lot about the Bible, western religion, Paris museums, and French history. In this book, in order to protect the secret of her family, the girl name Emily
                experienced lots of difficulties and accomplished countless impossible missions. The whole story developed in a very logical and fascinating way. It even made me dream of experiencing the whole story by myself! I really love it! (99)

17. People who influences me most(医生舅妈)

I’ll say it is my aunt who influences me the most. She is a pediatrician of the Children’s hospital in our city. She almost devotes all her time
                helping those little patients who are 6 to 10 years old. Once, a little boy
                refused to accept a very urgent operation just because of fear, his parents made desperate efforts but all failed. Then my aunt stepped into his room and chatted with him
                throughout the whole night, and the next day, he agreed. Nobody knew how she did this but everybody knew that she saved one more child again. (102)

18. Popular activity in China(乒乓球)

Actually many sports are very popular in China, such us soccer, volleyball, table tennis, and badminton. Among those games, I think it is table tennis, which deserves the title of “most popular”. I think table tennis should deserve the title of “most popular”.

My friend Robby told me that when he was in America, the deepest impression he has on China is concerning to martial art, Chinese food and table tennis. It is not amazing to see a couple of primary school children playing Ping-Pong by a table which is nearly as tall as they are! Because of this kind of popularity and fancy among different age groups, there are always plenty of outstanding ping-pong athletes surging into the National Team. And, as a result, we’ve got nearly all the championship of table tennis around the world.  (109)

19 Happiest / unforgettable moments (克服困难,竞选成功)

My happiest moment is overcoming a difficulty in a competition for the student body president two years ago. On that day, I have to give an election speech in front of 1500 people. My voice couldn’t help
                trembling and my palms kept sweating. I though I would blow it for sure. But, suddenly something came up to my mind. I remembered how many posters with my slogan I had released and how much encouragement I’ve got from my friends and teachers. With that, all my confidence and courage
                reappeared again! At last I gave a very successful speech and won the competition with flying colors! That really made my day! (111)

20 A difficulty I overcame (竞选演讲紧张)

It should be a competition for the student body president of my university. On that day, I have to give an election speech in front of 1500 people. I was so nervous that my voice couldn’t help
                trembling and my palms kept sweating. I though I would blow it for sure. But, suddenly something came up to my mind. I remembered how many posters with my slogan I had released and how much encouragement I’ve got from my friends and my teachers. With that, all my confidence and courage
                reappeared again! At last I gave a very successful speech and won the competition with flying colors! (106)

21 Features of cafe or restaurant I like (味道,价格,态度)

I would like to choose a restaurant with the following characteristics.

First of all, the food there must be quite delicious; at least as appetizing as the food made by my father. It’ll be much better if it is also clean and good looking.

Besides, the prices should be reasonable. For example, Fried eggs with tomatoes, no more than 6 Yuan and steamed pork with peanuts no more than 10 Yuan would be Ok!
                

I also care about the waiters and waitress’ attitudes towards consumers. If they are kind and warm-hearted, I will probably enjoy a comfortable and cozy atmosphere there. But, if not, I would better leave and choose another one. (110)

22. Most efficient transportation in your country. (汽车效率最高)

Well, my answer is bus service.

First of all, you can find a bus stop out of your companies or universities without any difficulty, because the distance between two bus stops is usually no more than 200 meters.

In addition, thanks to the improved road condition, a bus can easily run at the speed of 150 km/h on freeways. For example you can travel by bus from shanghai to Nanjing
                in less than 3 hours.

Sometimes
                you can even make some friends with certain passengers, because you always get on the same bus at the same time from the same stop. It’s of great fun, isn’t it? (108)

23. Sport (篮球)

Basketball is my favorite sport.

Because plying basketball offers me a chance of taking some physical exercises which is essential in the maintenance of
                physical fitness as well as high spirits.

It also enables me to keep in touch with my friends, because we are usually busy with different stuff and have less and less time to communicate and share happiness with each other. This is a pretty good way!

It also strengthens my sense of sharing and team-spirit; because we have to cooperate with one another and fight as a team to bear victories or failures. I’ve learnt quite a lot from it.  (103)

接上：

然后考试时候1题是我准备好了的，2题之前又偷听到了，自然很好拿下。

3-6题，我强烈建议大家好好研究OG和北极星的口语范本，老老实实的自己说一遍，分析和人家的差距，也确定自己的答题套路。其实OG在每题后面分析讲解时已经给出了答题的思路，稍稍整理就得到模版，下面是我自己的：

Task three
1) 支持型
The woman agrees with (the announcement,...) and thinks that the (university) is right to ...based on two reasons.
The first reason of her opinion is that...
The second reason why she supports this plan is that...

2) 反
            对
            型
                
第一种:
From the listening material, we know that the university is planning to......based on two reasons.
First ...Second.....
In the conversation, the man/woman disagrees with this plan. His/her two reasons are as follows.
First ...Second.....
So, he/she opposes this plan.

第二种:
The man/woman disagrees with the university’s plan to ......based on two reasons.
The first reason of his/her opinion is that... (包涵university  reason 1 )
The second reason why she opposes this plan is that... (包涵university  reason 2 )


Task five
The woman/man is faced with a problem that......There are two solutions from the man/woman.
The first solution is to...
The second one is to...
For my part, I think the prior/latter one is better because....

Task six
In this lecture, the professor mentions........one is...the other one is...
In the first XX,   an example of this definition/type/...is
In the second XX,   the professor mentions an example that...

不过我再强调一下哈：模版是次要的，只是框架，内容才是王道！

我考试时是抓住主体内容回答的，而且说完后还有时间总结了一下，这个是平时练习时没有达到的，所以有些超常。但我的语速比较快，大家从我传的1题段子的字数可以看出来。

最后说说作文：

综合：我考得不好，我想是有理由的哈：市面上的材料中很少有和真题接近的综合作文的内容。直到快考试了，我才发现KAPLAN的2，3套的这个部分比较好，所以最后匆匆上阵，自然不熟练。而且我的字数写多了，言不简意不赅，也是一个硬伤

独立：我考前背了那个《200句》的材料，几乎滚瓜烂熟。所以考试时凡是我想表达的意思，几乎全部用的《200》的句型，一气呵成，爽字了得！所以我建议大家在时间不紧张的情况下也可以背背。

谢谢LZ分享.

能大概说说你模考用的资料吗?

谢谢,

我模考了6套：编号为IC09的ONLING PRACTICE+BARREN中选的5套，都是在最后一个星期完成的。

在此推荐大家到网上做做ONLINE PRACTICE的不完整版，在注册情况那个页面。目的就是熟悉考试界面，不至于做第一篇阅读时太生疏。

谢谢jupandjay

祝好运.
