This is a small site I created to guide you through the revised Graduate Record Examination (GRE) that comes into effect from September 2007.

Test Administration Revisions

• The revised Verbal and Quantitative sections are being revised from an adaptive test format, where the questions presented to each examinee vary according to his or her performance, to a linear test format, where all examinees testing at the same time receive the same questions.
• The GRE General Test will be administered on computer on approximately 30 test dates worldwide. The number of administrations in any given region will be based on the test volume in that region.
• To address possible security concerns, starting times for the test will be staggered across time zones.
• An expanded Internet-based testing network with about 3,500 test sites will be available worldwide.

Sample Revised General Test Score Report

*For tests taken beginning in September 2007, scores will be printed in the "New Score" column and dashes will be printed in the "Original Score" column. For tests taken before September 2007, scores will be printed in the "Original Score" column and approximate equivalents on the new scale will be printed in the "New Score" column. These equivalents are based on a concordance study.
