我没有要战兔大啦,这个先澄清,只是我觉得测试GMATPrep跟真实考试
应该还是有一段差距
我之前有在第5722篇分享在美国论坛上面看到的一篇文章,在其他论坛
也看到其他的人分享类似的资讯,还特别声明已经跟GMAC的首席统计师
确认过了,数据跟结论都没有问题,我下次找到再来分享
我只能说,给我选,我当然相信出题的官方机构的统计师啊

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of attending the GMAC Test Prep
Summit and hearing about the GMAT from GMAC's VP of Research,
himself a senior psychometrician (“psychometrician” = GMAT wizard).
Over the course of the day I picked up a lot of invaluable nuggets
about how the test is scored, and over the next weeks I'll share
these nuggets with you.
Today's topic: skipped or omitted questions.
You can't really “skip” questions on the GMAT, but if you run
out of time you may leave some unanswered at the end and those
questions are referred to as skipped or omitted questions. A few
Key Takeaways:
1. Skipped questions can hurt your score really badly – even worse
than you think.
2. It's complex to answer how much a skipped question hurts your
score, but given Key Takeaway #1 above, the complexity doesn't
matter much from your perspective.
Skipped questions hurt your score more when you are scoring high.
Here is real data, shared by GMAC:
* If your percentile score is otherwise 70th, and you skip one
question, your score drops to 65th percentile.
* If your percentile score is otherwise 70th, and you skip three
questions, your score drops to 55th percentile.
The exact science is complex. In fact, these figures were presented
as empirical results – implying that these results are not
transparent in the scoring algorithm, but that rather, they must be
inferred after the fact from test-takers scores.
Forget about that. Instead, meditate on those two bullet points.
Five percentile points for one skipped question. Given that the
effect is pronounced at higher scores, I'd wager that if you're
dancing near a 700 level performance on one section, around 90th
percentile, then omitting one question could drop you a good 7
percentile points. Your weeks, months of GMAT prep that you've put
in (around 100 hours for those scoring 700+) to raise the ceiling
of your performance could be thrown away simply by mismanaging your
last few seconds.
Lessons:
* Don't omit any questions.
* While it's generally not to your advantage to finish very early,
it would be much, much better to finish a whopping 60 seconds early,
if that's what you have to do to make sure you don't omit any
questions.
More nuggets coming up. They are equally earth-shattering, so stay
tuned.

: 我是认为影响不大,基本上经过测试结果发现, 第二个加分区和完工比例比较有关系,
: 基本上littlelay完工比例已经接近98%, 基本上不太会被扣分.
: 以上纯属个人测试PP模考系统经验,供参考.
