| 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 | Fair(2.5 - 3.0) | Your responses indicate you are able to speak in English about your personal experiences and opinions in a mostly clear and coherent manner. Your speech is mostly clear with only occasional errors. Grammar and vocabulary are somewhat limited and include some errors. At times, the limitations prevent you from elaborating fully on your ideas, but they do not seriously interfere with overall communication. | | 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 | Fair(2.5 - 3.0) | Your responses demonstrate that you are able to speak in English about academic reading and lecture material, with only minor communication problems. For the most part, your speech is clear and easy to understand. However, some problems with pronunciation and intonation may occasionally cause difficulty for the listener. Your use of grammar and vocabulary is adequate to talk about the topics, but some ideas are not fully developed or are inaccurate. | | Writing Skills | Level | Your Performance | | Writing based on reading and listening | Good(4.0 - 5.0) | You responded well to the task, relating the lecture to the reading. Weaknesses, if you have any, might have to do with - slight imprecision in your summary of some of the main points and/or
- use of English that is occasionally ungrammatical or unclear.
| | 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.

成绩汇报的有点晚,因为一直不知道怎么查成绩,加上已经用老托福申请到Fellowship,用不上新托口语去申助教,也就不是很care。但看到成绩还是很高兴,口语出乎意料了,原以为上不了20。内容讲得一塌糊涂,可能是发音尚好,也敢讲。感觉ETS就看人是不是能开口,是不是还有点逻辑。听力没考好,自我感觉听力没这么差,可能当时受周围干扰,漏听错听比较严重,我是最后一个进场的。建议后来者一定不要贪听口语而晚去,为了可能的口语好处换取必然的听力损失,划不来。 考试期间及考完之后一直帮导师干活,要写的口语体会与教训一直没完工。现在课题终于告一段落,这几天一定把体会写好,放到网上,供各位托友参考。可以说,经历了两次GRE,两次老托,一次新托,一次sub,算是把ETS的心思摸得比较透了。
