LSAT writing 為什么不計(jì)分?LSAT Writing考什么?
LSAT部分中,writing并不計(jì)分,但也不是個(gè)形式,它的作用,是隨申請(qǐng)?zhí)峤唤o法學(xué)院,排位靠前的法學(xué)院或者認(rèn)真的招生官,或者在標(biāo)化成績(jī)不分伯仲,或者遇到優(yōu)秀學(xué)員他們很難抉擇的時(shí)候,會(huì)看上一看,幫助他們做出更進(jìn)一步的選擇。還有的招生官也會(huì)因?yàn)檫@份writing,來(lái)參照文書(shū)內(nèi)容作者的陳述??傊?,招生官不是千篇一律的,任何提交申請(qǐng)的內(nèi)容,都需要慎重對(duì)待!
LSAT考核點(diǎn)
選擇能力
邏輯分析能力
議論文寫(xiě)作能力
詞匯量,語(yǔ)法
LSAT寫(xiě)作題型
LSAT寫(xiě)作考察的是觀點(diǎn)性題目。題目會(huì)描述做選擇的情景,并要求你在兩種觀點(diǎn)中選擇你支持的一種,并加以闡釋。寫(xiě)作觀點(diǎn)的選擇沒(méi)有對(duì)錯(cuò)之分,考生只需要在寫(xiě)作中展現(xiàn)自己說(shuō)服性寫(xiě)作的技巧,包括良好的邏輯分析能力,語(yǔ)言組織能力,文章組織能力等等。法學(xué)院會(huì)根據(jù)考生的文章考量其是否符合學(xué)習(xí)法學(xué)的條件。
LSAT評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
寫(xiě)作部分并不計(jì)入總分,但是只有完成了寫(xiě)作部分的考試,考生才能拿到LSAT的其他考試成績(jī)。除此之外,考生的寫(xiě)作也會(huì)寄往大學(xué),作為申請(qǐng)入學(xué)的材料之一。因此,LSAT寫(xiě)作考試還是很重要的。
例題(節(jié)選):
BLZ Stores, an established men's clothing retailer with a chain of stores in a major metropolitan area, is selecting a plan for expansion. Using the facts below, write an essay in which you argue for one of the following plans over the other based on the following two criteria:
The company wants to increase its profits.
The company wants to ensure its long-term financial stability.
The ‘national plan’: open a larger number of men’s clothing stores throughout the country over a short period of time; would incur considerable debt; could increase profits dramatically; would have severe financial consequences; BLZ is not well-known outside its home area; currently faces increasingly heavy competition in its home region.
The ‘regional plan’: increase the number and size of stores in the company’s home region and upgrade their facilities, product quality and service; increase the prices; local population is growing; BLZ has strong customer loyalty; could continue reliance on known and trusted suppliers. |
