新GRE要求词汇量如今已经减少到8、9千,对于这点,很多考生反应,这是最实惠的变化。这样,就不用整天抱着GRE词汇红宝书、蓝宝书、黄宝书什么的让单词弄得晕头转向,而且可以把记单词的时候腾出来多做一些其他专项的练习。
对于那些放松GRE词汇的考生,专家有话要说。GRE考试一直以单词量大而著称,以前需要准备的单词量超过12000个,新版考试 大概减少到了八九千个,减少了20%左右。专家指出,新GRE考试中取消了需要死记硬背的类比和反义词题目,所以词汇考察量有明显下降,但并不意味着考察难度下降了。
所以新GRE考试词汇的减少对考生来说并不意味着轻松,这只能说明,新版GRE考试更加注重单词的灵活运用,所以反而更要求考生对每个单词都要学透。如果参加过新版GRE考试的考生可能就有所体会,虽然没有了单词的专项考察,但是语文部分的作答的确离不开单词的基础。
因此,在新版GRE考试单词量减少的时候,考生更应该把这些单词记牢、记清,不必过于高兴,也不必过于担心。新版GRE考试单词量的减少一方面减轻了偏、难词的记忆,一方面却加大了词汇的灵活掌握,是喜是忧,也是根据不同考生的复习状况来定的。
