FAQs for Limiting Registration for the Current GRE? General Test
Why do you need to limit GRE? General Test administrations prior to
July 31, 2007?
When the revised GRE? General Test is introduced in September 2007, the
score scales for the new Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning
measures will change. In order to set the new score scales, it is
imperative that we have an appropriate population of test takers worldwide
take the revised General Test in September 2007. The higher the volume of
individuals who test before the end of July, the higher the risk we
will not have an appropriate population in September on which to set the
new score scales. Therefore, in order to ensure an appropriate
population of test takers in September, we may need to limit test registrations
for the current General Test in some international markets. We realize
there may be some GRE candidates inconvenienced during this transition
period, and we apologize for any disruption caused by this action.
How will you decide to limit registration in a particular country?
We are monitoring registration volumes in several large-volume
countries. Decisions to limit registrations in a particular country may be made
if 2007 test registration volumes are unusually high compared to
previous years.
How will I know if registration is limited in my country?
If registration is limited in a particular country, individuals who try
to register for the General Test in that country will receive a message
indicating that registration for the current General Test is closed.
These individuals should return to the site in July 2007 to register for
the revised GRE General Test.
If you limit GRE General Test registration in my country and I am
already registered, will I still be able to take the GRE General test?
Yes. Individuals who have already registered for the test will not be
affected. If we limit registration in a country, only individuals who
have not yet registered will be affected.
When will you stop administering the current GRE General Test?
The current General Test will no longer be offered after July 31, 2007.
When will I be able to take the revised GRE General Test?
The first test dates for the revised GRE General Test will be September
10, 15 or 16, 2007 (depending upon location), and September 29, 2007.
Registration for these test dates will open in July 2007.
How soon can I register for the revised General Test?
Registration for the revised General Test will open in July 2007.
If I register to take the General Test before the end of July, can I
transfer my registration to the revised GRE General Test or vice versa?
No. Individuals who register to take the GRE General Test before the
end of July 2007 will not be able to transfer their registration to the
revised General Test that is being introduced in September 2007.
Similarly, individuals who register in July 2007 for the revised General Test
will not be able to transfer to a current General Test administration
prior to August 1, 2007.
Why won't the General Test be administered in August?
The General Test will not be administered in August in order for ETS to
complete all of the work needed to transition from the current General
Test to the revised General Test.
If I need to send my General Test scores to score recipients this fall,
when do I need to take the test?
Scores for the initial administrations of the revised GRE General Test
in September 2007 will be sent to GRE score recipients in early
November. Scores from subsequent administrations will be reported within 15 to
18 business days after the test date. If the department to which you
are applying needs your test scores before mid-November 2007, you should
plan to take the current GRE General Test before the end of July 2007.
I am trying to register for the current computer-based GRE General Test
and there are no seats available. What should I do?
If there are no seats available, or registration in your country has
been shut down, you will need to take the revised General Test that will
be introduced in September 2007.
Once registration closes, will I be able to get a seat if someone else
cancels their appointment? Should I check back for openings?
No. Once registration closes in a particular country, it will not
reopen.
I have already registered. Will I be able to reschedule my appointment?
You will be able to reschedule your appointment as long as there is
still testing capacity in your region. Once seats are filled and testing
capacity is reached, you will no longer be able to reschedule your
appointment.
When will scores be reported for the initial administrations of the
revised General Test?
In early November 2007, revised General Test scores from the initial
administrations in September will be reported to examinees and designated
GRE score recipients. The six-week time frame between the
administrations and the reporting of scores is due to the equating processes
that must take place following the first three administrations of the test.
For subsequent administrations, Verbal, Quantitative, and Critical
Thinking and Analytical Writing scores from the computer-based revised
General Test will be sent to institutions and test takers 15 to 18 business
days after the test administration.
I have applied for fall 2007 admissions and now I am unable to register
to take the current General Test in order to meet my application
deadlines. What should I do?
If you have already applied to graduate programs for fall 2007
admissions and the November score reporting date will be too late to meet your
application deadlines, we advise you to contact the graduate school at
the institutions to which you have applied. Graduate schools are being
informed that they should contact ETS regarding applicants who need to
test to meet deadlines prior to November 2007. ETS will make every
attempt to arrange testing for those applicants affected by this
transition.
Will you be alerting colleges and universities about this change?
Yes. We are notifying colleges and universities of the need to limit
test registrations for the current General Test in some international
markets to ensure that we have a representative sample of test takers for
the September 2007 revised General Test administrations.
How is the format of the General Test changing?
The revised General Test being introduced in September 2007 will
consist of revised Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Critical
Thinking and Analytical Writing sections. These same three sections are in
the current test; however, each of the sections will be revised to
better focus on skills necessary for success in graduate school. In
addition, the test is changing from an adaptive test format, in which the
questions presented to each examinee vary according to his or her
performance, to a linear test format, in which all examinees testing at the
same time receive the same questions. The name of the Analytical Writing
section is being changed to Critical Thinking and Analytical Writing to
more accurately reflect the skills being measured.
What are the new test questions on the revised General Test like?
For the Verbal measure, the new test questions will have a greater
emphasis on higher cognitive skills and less dependence on vocabulary out
of context. For the Quantitative measure, the new questions will involve
more data interpretation and real-life scenarios, and an on-screen
calculator will be available. In the Critical Thinking and Analytical
Writing measure, the two basic question types (one that asks the test taker
to construct an argument on an issue and the other that asks the test
taker to critique an argument) will remain the same, but the format and
timing of the section will change.

See Quantitative Reasoning Sample Questions

Is the test center network going to be different?
The test center network will include many of the test centers that
currently administer the GRE General Test. It will also include many test
centers at colleges and universities. The number of test centers is
expected to increase from 600 to more than 3,500 by the end of 2007.

should I contact?
