E-PrincePrinceton students leaving through FitzRandolph Gate for graduate school in the future will face a new step in the application process: a revised, longer version of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) announced last Friday at ...

the new one sounds better than the current version. but really, why even require the GRE? it makes no sense at all for most fields and does little more than weed out those with significantly lower than average scores. but that could be done in other ways just as easily.
yeah, the current GRE is a P.O.S. if you're applying for engineering in grad school the GRE won't do you any good since it doesn't even test calculus.
Of course the GRE changes right after I take the dumb old version. Of course the PDF policy changes for after I graduate. I fully expect Princeton to fix this noisy radiator and the calendar after I leave too.
*sigh* I love analogies. Everyone seems to be getting rid of them.

Since when has a standardized test ever _prepared_ you for something?
I had to take the GREs to get into graduate school after years of no algebra and geometry.. It was painful to try and relearn all that stuff for a degree in Education Administration of all things. I think it was a total waste of my time quite frankly. I got into the program I wanted because I got As in all four courses I was allowed to take before enrolling in the program. If they had looked at my scores alone, especially the math ones, it is highly unlikely I would've gotten in. Instead I graduated with a 3.97 GPA. GREs were a useless predictor of success in my case.
It seems to be a great change in the GRE. Are you going to put calculator in it. This is and will be a very bad step. It is at the best and I just want to say it is best now...and perfect.

I am eager to see the new version and how it is organized. Before that it is hardly possible to make final comments. It is because that the new version may contains longer reading comprehensions with plenty of cumbersome words. New version has to be made in such a way so that students potentiality and intelligence reflect rather than memorizing power by learning 5000 words in 6 months leaving all the important task behind. Sometimes it seems to me that we are going to PhD in English or our aim is to be a writer for nytimes.com. A successful research need a great writer or extraordinary students?
