Changes to the Graduate Record Exam
Educational Testing Service (ETS), the guys and gals who write the GRE, announced that they’re adding a few new question types to the GRE in November 2007.
These changes are minor (VERY minor) and they won’t impact your score. Here’s the deal: at most, you’ll see ONE new question. One. It could be math, it could be verbal, or you could have no new questions. The time per section and the number of questions within that section won’t change.
About the New Questions
Verbal (text completion)
You’ll have to fill in two or three blanks from separate multiple-choice lists within a reading comprehension passage.
Math (numeric entry)
You’ll have to type your answer as a number in a box, or in boxes if it’s a fraction.
It’s important to know exactly what to expect when you take the GRE. That said, this announcement shouldn’t impact your preparation or your testing plans. Certainly, if you prep with us, we’ll teach you what these questions look like so you'll be able to quickly spot these experimental questions!
Sincerely,
The Princeton Review GRE Team
