The Test: GRE


So times they are a changing. Those out there set to take the GRE, please know that come this November, the GRE is making some changes. Originally there was a plan to overhaul the entire test. Those plans have changed slightly, and changes will be made to the GRE over time, with no firm timeline. Personally, I think that is wise to wait. I took the GRE and it was ok, but change on a test like this is never good.

In November, there will be two new question types, one in the verbal reasoning section and the other in the quantitative reasoning section. In the verbal section, sentence completion questions will now have two or three blanks to fill in as opposed to just one. The quantitative section will add number entry questions with a box for students to fill in numbers or fractions.

Check out the new question types and find out more here.
