Changes to the General GRE Cancelled

The Educational Testing Service (ETS) issued a press release on April 2, 2007 stating that planned changes to the GRE General Test, which were to be implemented over the summer, have been cancelled.  According to the GRE website:

"ETS is canceling the revised GRE General Test because, on balance, officials believe the potential risk to testing access outweighed the benefits of immediately moving to the new format.  The decision to cancel the launch was made with the best interests of test takers and score users in mind.

ETS officials will work with the GRE Board to implement some of the planned improvements to the General Test in the future.  These planned improvements will be without the access issues associated with changing to an entirely new test delivered over a new testing network."
