What are the specific differences between the new GRE and the old GRE?

The new GRE test schedule is more flexible, not rigid twice a year, but once or twice a month, providing suitable test opportunities for different candidates. In the future, the results of the examination will not be weighted, but will be based on the best. The new GRE test may have a limited number of seats at the beginning of the test, and many U.S. schools now have earlier deadlines for accepting materials, so be aware of the seats.

The new GRE test takes about 3 hours and 45 minutes in total, plus an intermission for candidates, and consists of 6 sections. The first test is Writing, which consists of two timed writing tasks. This is followed by two language sections and two mathematics sections (one of which does not count as a score); Finally, there is the research exam part. There is a 10-minute break before the study exam section, with only a 1-minute interval between the rest of the sections.

The old GRE test score range was 200-800 points, with 10 points being the smallest unit. The new GRE will have a range of 130-170 Chinese and math scores, with 1 being the smallest unit. The new scoring method helps to avoid the situation of 10 points difference caused by doing one more correct question in the current exam, and makes the score calculation more accurate and reasonable.

The score range of the essay test is still 0-6, which is divided into the smallest unit.

Analogies and antonyms are partially eliminated.

Filling in the blanks and reading has become more difficult.

The new GRE is all computer-based.

The score has also changed.

The difficulty of the vocabulary remains the same.

There is a greater emphasis on the ability to reason for complex and quantified reasoning.

Want to ask about the difference between the new G and the old G? What does the new G value more? (2) If you want to review in a month or two, how should I review? Is it okay to use New Oriental's rhubarb as a review material? There will be a difference in some way. Yes, it can be added.

The GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is an entrance exam for graduate students in a variety of disciplines and majors other than law (LSAT and GMAT).

There are two types of GRE tests, one is the GRE General test, which is the GRE test that most Chinese students take. The other is the specific GRE test (GRE subject). There are not many Chinese candidates who take the GRE specific test, because most U.S. colleges and universities do not require specific GRE scores, only general GRE scores.

However, applicants who apply for a graduate major that is inconsistent with the applicant's undergraduate major are required to provide special GRE scores. For example, if you have a bachelor's degree in physics from a university in China and want to change to a master's degree in economics in the United States, you need to provide your GRE economics special test scores, and if you want to change to a master's degree in biochemistry, you need to provide GRE biochemistry special scores. If the undergraduate major is the same as the graduate major, it is generally not necessary to provide special scores.

Some prestigious universities in the United States regard the GRE special score as a "recommended score": that is, they expect the applicant to be able to provide this score, regardless of whether the undergraduate major is the same as the graduate major they are applying for, but it is not a mandatory requirement. At this time, if you can provide special GRE scores, it is very helpful to apply for scholarship funding.

Therefore, if the applicant has more time, he or she may wish to take the special test, and an excellent special GRE score can reflect the applicant's professional quality and learning potential.

The GRE General Test is a required test for graduate admission, and the LSAT or GMAT is used instead of the GRE General Test for graduate students applying for law or business. At present, American universities are more relaxed than in the past in terms of grade substitution. Many schools can provide either the GRE General Test or the GMAT test score as the required score for business graduate students, and the GRE General Test score is also used as an alternative to the LSAT score for law graduate students.

Yes, there is such a distinction but not all majors have a professional GRE exam.

At present, there are eight majors, namely: Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Literature in English, Maths, Physics, and Psychology.

Points, usually as long as it is universal, you first know the school you want to go to. Professional grades are generally required by a very small number of science or engineering subjects, and general schools will not require them, but many people do not have professional results, and if the landlord has the spare time to take the test, it will be very competitive

There are still subs in the new GRE, but only a few majors need to be ......You don't need to apply to most majors, you have to look at what major you are studying in the United States, and you need to see the requirements of the school you are applying to.

The difference between the new GRE and the old GRE is that the test content is different.

The language test has been changed from 30 minutes to two 40-minute sections; The Mathematics test will change the existing one 45-minute section to two 40-minute sections; The issues and arguments in the analysis and writing section each take up 30 minutes. The exam focuses more on the candidate's cognitive skills, reasoning skills, and the abilities necessary for postgraduate study.

The second difference between the new GRE and the old GRE is that the test format is different.

The old GRE test was a paper-based test, but the new GRE test has been changed to a computer-based test, and Chinese test takers will complete the GRE Chinese, Math, and Writing sections on a computer in one day. The total time is approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes, plus intermission. In the computer-based test answer setting, it is also more scientific and humanized, and each part adds preview (preview) and review (review) modification functions, allowing candidates to modify the answers they have made, but they cannot modify the answers across sections.

All candidates who take the exam at the same time will encounter the same questions and will be allowed to skip certain questions in the exam and then go back and review and revise the answers.

After the implementation of the new GRE test, about 30 tests will be taken each year, and the number of test centers in a certain region will be determined based on the frequency and number of times the test is taken in a certain region. To prevent cheating, exam times are staggered in different time zones.

The third difference between the new GRE and the old GRE is that the score is calculated differently.

The range of individual subject scores on the old GRE test is 200 points to 800 points, and 10 points is the smallest unit. After the reform, the GRE Chinese and Math scores will range from 130 to 170 points, with 1 point being the smallest unit. The average score is 150 points, and the final precise score criteria will be determined after the first exam.

The score range of the essay test is still 0-6 points, which is divided into the smallest unit.

The fourth difference between the new GRE and the old GRE is that the charging method is different.

The new GRE unifies the global fee structure, and the test fees paid by Chinese candidates eliminate the previous difference caused by taking separate tests.

There's a post on Too Silly, you see.

The format and difficulty of the GRE in August are exactly the same as those in the old GRE, and the GRE in August is intended for those who are about to enter the school to get their results as soon as possible.

The specific example questions of the new GRE have not yet come out, but it can be said that the new GRE has canceled the question bank, so the superb ability to memorize the question bank for Chinese students cannot be brought into play, at least for Chinese students, the new GRE is more difficult than the old GRE, and the difficulty of the old-fashioned GRE is already sad than the gmat, so I personally think that the new GRE is more difficult than the gmat, The GRE and the GMAT still have a lot of similarities, 4 months if you are willing to work hard, And if you learn GMAT well, there's no problem.

For the choice of schools, the GRE is science and engineering, and the GMAT is business, but nowadays, foreigners, especially in the United States, mostly like to study business, as a Chinese mainland student, if you are not studying business, it is more cost-effective to take the GRE.

If you don't have a good GRE score, you can look good at your GPA, and you usually go to school. It depends on what school you attend.

1.The new GRE test has eliminated mere vocabulary questions (antonyms by analogy), and in terms of this reform, it should be said that the difficulty of the test has been reduced.

2.The difficulty of the exam has increased in the type of reading questions and fill-in-the-blank questions, for example, the type of reading questions has increased by 6 choice 2 questions, because the previous shooting requires students to grasp the central idea and some details of the article to a greater extent, and the previous kind of "I can't but I can choose the right one" will rely on exam skills to complete fewer and fewer questions, or even disappear.

3.In terms of vocabulary requirements, there are no changes between the old and new GRE.

4.In terms of the selection of test questions, many specific teaching contents are taken from graduate schools in North America, so the test is closer to graduate studies in the United States.

Announcing that the new GRE has eliminated the original essay question bank is a big challenge for students to prepare for the exam. However, as far as Ziming's research on the new and old TOEFLs is concerned, at the beginning of the launch of the new TOEFLs, ETS has been saying that the test questions are used once, although there are indeed few repetitions in the reading and listening sections, but in the independent writing section, the content and scope of the test are basically similar to the 185 question bank of the old TOEFL; In addition, the independent speaking questions in the speaking section also have a high repetition rate. Based on this, it can be inferred that there should be no major changes in the essay topics of the old and new GRE, but there may be some changes in the content, form and emphasis.

To sum up, the words still have to be memorized, the composition depends on the time, and the questions need to be practiced more.
