The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test and Subject Tests are taken by individuals applying to graduate programs in natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, business, humanities and arts, education, and other fields.

For more than 60 years, GRE scores have been used by admissions and fellowship panels at thousands of institutions
around the world to supplement undergraduate grades and other qualifications for graduate study. Today hundreds of
business schools now also accept GRE General Test scores for their MBA and other graduate business programs.

This Bulletin provides information about GRE tests, policies and procedures for testing, and information about GRE
services and publications.

INTRODUCING The GRE® revised GENERAL TEST
Starting August 1, 2011, the GRE revised General Test replaces the GRE General Test, giving you new question types, a better test experience and an opportunity to save 50% if testing in August or September 2011.

▶ New types of questions in the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections reflect the kind of thinking you will do in today’s demanding graduate and business school programs.

▶ A new test-taker friendly design for the computer-based test that lets you edit or change your answers, skip questions and more, all within a section — giving you the freedom to use more of your own test-taking strategies. An on-screen calculator is also available. For those taking the paper-based GRE revised General Test, calculators will be provided at the test center for use during the test.

▶ Special savings of 50% when you take the GRE revised General Test between August 1 and September 30, 2011. To learn more about saving 50% on your test fee, visit www.ets.org/gre/revised/discount.

Important score reporting information you need to know: If you take the GRE revised General Test during our special discount period of August – September 2011, your scores will be sent by mid-November. If you need your scores before November 2011, you need to take the General Test before August 2011.

Verbal Reasoning
Featuring new types of questions, the Verbal Reasoning section of the revised test more closely reflects the kind of thinking you will do in graduate or business school, and better measures your ability to understand what you read and how you apply your reasoning skills.

Quantitative Reasoning
You will still need to know basic math for the GRE revised General Test. The difference, however, is the increased emphasis on data interpretation and real-life scenarios. There are new types of questions that require you to show your quantitative reasoning ability. Plus, to reduce the emphasis on computation, we provide an on-screen calculator. For those taking the paper-based GRE revised General Test, calculators will be provided at the test center for use during the test.

Analytical Writing
The Analytical Writing section is not changing dramatically. You will still write two essays, one where you evaluate a logical argument, and the other where you express your views on a critical issue. However, you will need to provide more focused responses based on the tasks presented, so you can more accurately demonstrate your skill in directly responding to that task.
