At this stage, guidance is given to item writers on revising items and altering texts for resubmission. This is seen as an important element in item writer training and advice is also offered on any rejected texts and unsuitable item types.

Following pre-editing feedback, material is completed and submitted for editing. Editing takes place at meetings involving Cambridge ESOL staff and chairs. Item writers are encouraged to participate in editing meetings dealing with their material. This is seen as another important part of their ongoing training.

At editing, texts and selected items are approved for pretesting or are sent back to a writer for further revision. Revised material is then re-edited at a subsequent meeting.

解读:雅思试题编写实际分为预 编写和正式编写两个步骤。听说读写每个单项组负责人与剑桥工作人员之间首先将进行一次编辑会议,就试题素材的题材、时效性、语言难度、长度、文体等9大方 面进行商讨,确定其是否适合用于试题编写;接下来,试题编写团队得到指令,正式开始题目编写及素材改编,在此期间编辑会议将不断进行。

Pretest Construction: 生成先期测试题

Pretesting: 进行先期测试

IELTS pretests are very similar to the tests that will be used in live administrations.  The tasks are in their final form including task rubrics (instructions) and examples. Listening pretests are professionally recorded to ensure that they are of acceptable quality. Listening and Reading pretests are administered to IELTS candidates at selected centres or to prospective candidates on IELTS preparation courses. The pretests are marked at Cambridge ESOL and statistically analysed. Writing and Speaking pretests are administered to representative samples of candidates to assess the appropriateness of this material for use in live tests, and to establish that the tasks are capable of eliciting an adequate sample of language to allow for the assessment of candidates against the scoring criteria.

解读:一旦编写工作初步完成,先期测试题就将生成并进行现场测试以检验试题是否达到标准。先期测试题和实际的考试用题非常相似,其中听读两个部分会在选定的考点或正参加雅思备考课程的潜在考生中进行,而说和写则通过代表性的考生样本群体来测试,为试题效果分析提供数据。
