-
More questions featuring real-life scenarios to better reflect the kind of thinking students will do in today’s demanding graduate and business school programs.
-
Less reliance on vocabulary out of context, more emphasis on reading — and no antonyms or analogies.
-
Many new navigation features, including the ability to skip questions and go back to them later within a section for a better test-taking experience.
-
New answer types, such as filling in a number or providing more than one response when asked, so students can better demonstrate what they know.
-
An on-screen calculator for the Quantitative Reasoning section
-
In addition to the 50-percent discount, test takers around the world will find that the GRE revised General Test delivers other good news as well. Starting in August 2011, the split-test administration will be eliminated in China (including Hong Kong), Korea and Taiwan, and will be replaced with computer-based testing one to two times per month.
-
Candidates testing in those regions will be able to take the Verbal, Quantitative and Analytical Writing sections on computer, all on the same day. This change is especially important since a rapidly growing number of students from Asia are taking the GRE General Test.
