ETS announces alterations to GRE testing format to take effect in fall
The Educational Testing Service is making multiple changes to the Graduate Record Examinations, a standardized test required for admission to many graduate schools. ETS recently announced that these changes will go into effect in September, after being scheduled to take effect in October of last year, according to an ETS press release.
We are introducing a number of changes into the context and the administrations of the test, as well as to the score scales, said Dawn Piacentino, the associate director in the GRE program at ETS.
One of the major adjustments is the transition from an adaptive test, one that is individually responsive to the person taking the test, to a linear test, in which everyone would answer the same set of questions, Piacentino said.
