GRE to have new content next August

University undergraduate students planning to continue their education may need to prepare for some changes to their test prep regimen. The Graduate Records Examination - an admissions requirement for many graduate education programs - is about to undergo several changes, as administrators at Educational Testing Services have been working on revising the test to enhance the content and allow students to navigate the exam more easily. The GRE revised General Test's launch is set for August 2011. Once amended, the test will include more questions featuring "real-life scenarios that better reflect the kind of thinking students will do in today's demanding graduate and business school programs," according to a statement from Mark McNutt, manager of public relations for ETS. Test-takers will have access to new navigation features, including the ability to review questions and change answers.
