SAT考试写作官方评分标准揭秘：你离满分还有多远?

SAT考试作文分数是如何打出来的，满分是多少?

和旧

而最让人惊异的是，阅卷人打分所用的时间只有几十秒中，基本等于把文章扫一遍，分数就立即打出了!

官方对每个单项的满分要求是什么?有什么需要特别注意的?

Reading

The response shows an understanding of the text’s central idea(s) and of most important details and how they interrelate, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the text.

The response is free of errors of fact or interpretation with regard to the text.

The response makes skillful use of textual evidence (quotations, paraphrases, or both), demonstrating a complete understanding of the source text.

解析：对这部分官方的要求已经很清楚了，概括来说就是要：准确理解作者的中心思想和最重要细节，分析这些细节与作者观点之间的联系，熟练运用引用或转述来展现对文章的理解。

需要注意的是，“准确理解”是新SAT写作最基础的要求，也是我们得分的前提。只要正确概括重要细节并做合理解析，Reading的分数就不难拿到手。但是，假若理解错误，那么不仅Reading，Analysis，甚至Writing的分数也全都不可能得到了!因此，选择细节时，除了需要确定细节与作者论点之间的联系之外，还要务必避免那些自己读不懂的内容。

Analysis

The response offers an insightful analysis of the source text and demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the analytical task.

The response offers a thorough, well-considered evaluation of the author’s use of evidence, reasoning, and/or stylistic and persuasive elements, and/or feature(s) of the student’s own choosing.

The response contains relevant, sufficient, and strategically chosen support for claim(s) or point(s) made.

The response focuses consistently on those features of the text that are most relevant to addressing the task.

解析：这是官方最让人摸不着头脑的描述，总之就是一个要求：分析要深入，透彻且必须围绕观点进行。那么怎样写才算达到了“insightful”“thorough”的要求呢?通过研究官方范文analysis部分评语发现，只要能够分析出细节的深层含义(connotation)，说明细节如何能够论证作者观点以及为什么能够达到说服读者的效果，analysis的要求就算达到了。

Writing

The response is cohesive and demonstrates a highly effective use and command of language.

The response includes a precise central claim.

The response includes a skillful introduction and conclusion. The response demonstrates a deliberate and highly effective progression of ideas both within paragraphs and throughout the essay.

The response has a wide variety in sentence structures. The response demonstrates a consistent use of precise word choice. The response maintains a formal style and objective tone.

The response shows a strong command of the conventions of standard written English and is free or virtually free of errors.

解析：除了对开头结尾的要求之外，其余标准大致与其他写作考试一致：行文连贯，句式多样，用词准确、正式，少语法错误。连贯性主要通过逻辑连接词和语意重复来加强，至于句式和用词，可以通过借鉴和范文中的表达，提升自己的语言质量。提高语言质量是一项长期任务，只有通过不断磨练，才能渐臻佳境。

除了要把官方评分标准里 面要求写的内容写出来之外，同学们还要记得通过充分利用信号词(signal words),适时地向阅卷老师发出信号，让他在快速扫视我们作文的时候能够迅速get到得分点。当然，在结构和语言方面，还是应尽量保持简洁直接的文风。
