新GRE全程解析（内附新G作文题库）最近发现帖子上很多人在问关于新GRE的问题，本人刚刚接连经过10G11G的摧残 ，结果也是不大理想 ，所以也打算报考新G，全力冲刺一把。
大家都知道明年6G将会是最后一次老题型，所以6G报名非常火热，很多地方的AW考位已经没有了，因此很多人就将目标瞄准了新G。。。
对于新G来说很多人都觉得一定是难了，因为取消了我们中国人最擅长的类反，其实仔细看看官网的一些说明你会发现，新G未必比老G难多少，每个人擅长的不同可能也要因人而异吧。。。。
好了，接下来我就把有关新G的官网说明以及解析跟大家分析一下：
我们先来看看官网主页上是怎么说的：
引用:The GRE revised General Test is coming August 2011. There are a lot of exciting changes in the works. New question types. New test-taker friendly format. And many more benefits.
Plus, you can save 50% if you test between August – September 2011. See the special score reporting schedule to see if this option is right for you.
通过简短的几句话我们能够了解新G是从2011年8月开始实行，并且报名8-9月（August 1, 2011 – September 30, 2011）考试的考生报名费将减少50%。
对于是否报名8-9月的新G我想每个人都有不同的看法，报名费固然少了，但是8-9月份毕竟是ETS试运行时期，新题型考完的效果怎么样，我们都无法估计，不过我个人觉得花一半的价钱买一次经验还是值得的，新G主要考查的是考生的应用能力和逻辑判断能力，不再是词汇量的考查了，看了新题题型（下面我会给出）我们不难发现，考查实际应用的内容多了些，当然这并不意味着“红宝”可以丢弃，只是对于那些很难的僻义词ETS不会再考查了。
接下来继续看官网信息：
引用:The GRE® General Test is Changing. Find Out What You Need to Know — and Why It's Good News for You..
For millions of students like you, a graduate or business degree can give you a big advantage in your future career. An important step toward achieving that goal — and the path to thousands of graduate and business programs all over the world — is to take the GRE® General Test.
Now we're ** that step even better for you. Starting August 1, 2011, the GRE® revised General Test will replace the current GRE General Test, giving you the advantage of a better test experience — and new types of questions that help show your readiness for graduate-level work.
Here's What You Can Expect from the GRE revised General Test
A new test-taker friendly design for the computer-based test that lets you edit or change your answers, skip questions and more, all within a section — giving you the freedom to use more of your own test-taking strategies. Another new feature: an on-screen calculator.
New types of questions in the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections, many featuring real-life scenarios that reflect the kind of thinking you'll do in today's demanding graduate and business school programs.
Special savings of 50% when you take the GRE revised General Test between August 1 and September 30, 2011. The 50% discount means big savings for you — and another big advantage to taking the GRE revised General Test.
Important score reporting information you need to know: If you take the GRE revised General Test during our special discount period of August – September 2011, your scores will be sent by mid-November. However, if you need your scores before November 2011, take the current test before August 2011.
Something else to keep in mind when you receive your scores: The GRE revised General Test features a new score scale that can make it easier for schools to compare your GRE scores with the scores of other candidates.
*For those taking the paper-based GRE revised General Test, calculators will be provided at the test center for use during the test.
Choosing Between the Current Test and the Revised Test
To help you decide which of the two tests to take, start by selecting which schools you're most interested in, then find out when they need your scores. Different schools have different admissions deadlines, so knowing when your prospective schools need your scores is an important part of ** the decision between the GRE General Test and the GRE revised General Test., m' m5 O9 N' Q( r0 p7 u
If you need scores before November 2011, start planning now. You will need to take the current test. You will want to register early to ensure you get a seat for your preferred date and location. If you take the current test in either a split-test administration or paper-based test location early planning is especially important.
If you don't need scores until after November 2011, taking the GRE revised General Test is a smart move. With these new changes in place, the revised test will give you a better test experience — and offer an even better way to show schools that you're ready for graduate-level work.
以上这些都是官网关于新G的一些说明，大家自己看一下，没有什么特别的，大概了解一下形式就可以了。
下面对形式做一个总结：
笔考和机考结合的形式将被每月进行一到两次的机考取代；
新题型可以更好反映商学院和研究生院所需技能；
新的答题格式包括基于电脑的量化答案输入题；
减少对于单词意涵背记的孤立考察，更加突出阅读能力；
每个部分内部增设Preview和Review修改功能(不可跨越section修改答案)；
新的“Mark与Review”功能方便考生快速回到先前跳过的题目；
允许考生修改编辑已经做出的答案；
数学部分增加在线计算器功能。
然后主要是下面的这一段内容，时间表格如下：
|
| | 2010 | | JULY | | | 2011 | | MARCH | March 15: Registration opens for the GRE revised General Test (If you plan on taking the current test, you can register now.)

8月份以前的考试也就是116G就不用说了，还是和往常一样的，主要是说从八月开始的。。。
新G从2011年3月15日开始报名，名字更新为GRE revised General Test
8月一号是新G的第一次考试，8月到9月考试的考生成绩将在十一月中旬送出，10月到11月考试的考生成绩将在十一月底送出（这点官网没有明确指出），最后12月考试的考生成绩将恢复正常时间，也就是考后的10-15天送出。
所以大家应当根据自己申请学校的截止日期来选择自己的考试时间。
好了，基本考试情况了解到此，下面我们来看一下我们最关注的问题。新G到底是怎样的新变化。
下面我就给出官网的V、Q、AW部分的样题及说明，大家看一下：

Q 每部分约20题 每部分40分钟
考试总时间为3小时45分钟（算上休息时间）
1.V部分：
主要三种题型：
Reading Comprehension 阅读
Text Completion 填空
Sentence Equivalence同义填句
三种题型：单选(5选1)、多选(3选多)、点句
官网样题如下：
阅读：
Policymakers must confront the dilemma that fossil fuels continue to be an indispensable source of energy even though burning them produces atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide that increase the likelihood of potentially disastrous global climate change. Currently, technology that would capture carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and sequester it harmlessly underground or undersea instead of releasing it into the atmosphere might double the cost of generating electricity. But because sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission and distribution, delivered prices will rise less, by no more than 50 percent. Research into better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide will undoubtedly lead to lowered costs。
Sample Multiple-choice Questions — Select One Answer Choice
1. The passage implies which of the following about the current cost of generating electricity?
A. It is higher than it would be if better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide were available。
B. It is somewhat less than the cost of electricity transmission and distribution。
C. It constitutes at most half of the delivered price of electricity。
D. It is dwelt on by policymakers to the exclusion of other costs associated with electricity delivery。
E. It is not fully recovered by the prices charged directly to electricity consumers。
Answer: C
2. The passage suggests that extensive use of sequestration would, over time, have which of the following consequences?
A. The burning of fossil fuels would eventually cease to produce atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide。
B. The proportion of the delivered price of electricity due to generation would rise and then decline。
C. Power plants would consume progressively lower quantities of fossil fuels。
Answer: B
3. Select the sentence that explains why an outcome of sequestration that might have been expected would not occur。
Answer:
“But because sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission and distribution, delivered prices will rise less, by no more than 50 percent.”

3.AW部分：
The Analytical Writing section of the GRE® revised General Test consists of two separately timed analytical writing tasks:
An Analyze an Issue task
An Analyze an Argument task
Analyze An Issue Task
The Analyze an Issue task assesses your ability to think critically about a topic of general interest and to clearly express your thoughts about it in writing. Each issue statement makes a claim that you can discuss from various perspectives and apply to many different situations or conditions. The issue statement is followed by a set of specific instructions. The specific instructions could be one of the following:
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons or examples that could be used to challenge your position.
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented above.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim AND the reason on which that claim is based.
Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy above and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position. Analyze An Argument Task
The Analyze an Argument task assesses your ability to understand, analyze and evaluate arguments and to clearly convey your evaluation in writing. You are presented with a brief passage in which the author makes a case for some course of action or interpretation of events by presenting claims backed by reasons and evidence. Your task is to discuss the logical soundness of the author's case according to the specific instructions by critically examining the line of reasoning and the use of evidence. The specific instructions could be one of the following:
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the advice and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the advice.
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the prediction and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the prediction.
Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative explanations that could rival the proposed explanation and explain how your explanation(s) can plausibly account for the facts presented in the argument. AW中ISSUE的时间明显比原来少了15分钟，这对于我们来说确实是难了许多，所以需要我们好好准备，不过作文有一点比较好，就是题库里面的题，比原来少了许多，我看了下I和A大概都是150-180道的样子。
ETS对于新的AW重新更新的题库见附件。
 $ T1 ^( _1 i! m, |; o
最后说说算分方法：
目前的GRE考试单科分数的区间为200-800分，10分为最小单位。改革后，GRE的语文和数学分数区间将为130-170，1分为最小单位。新的算分方法有助于避免现行考试中多做对一道题导致分数差十分这样局面产生，让分数计算更加精准更加合理。作文考试分数区间依旧为0-6分，0.5分为最小单位。
对了新G最大的一个问题是，不能跨区了，所以大家还是各凭本事吧。。。
截止到目前为止，新G情况如上述所讲，大体上ETS是不会有什么变化，所以准备考新G的同学请加油，我们一起努力，共同实现我们的梦想。。。
