Revised GRE Test – Debuts August 1, 2011

The current format of the GRE will end  on July 31, 2011. The “Revised GRE” will debut on August 1, 2011. All the changes  are of interest to many only those who take the GRE after August 1, 2011 will be affected. There will be a number of changes (including the scoring scale). The test is to become more  “reasoning based”.  The  GRE verbal section will be changed so that questions which are dependent on knowing specific vocabulary will be  removed. Much information may be found here.
