Posted June 1, 2011: Registration for the GRE® revised General Test is now open. It's time to get ready!

If you require GRE scores before November, you must take the current GRE® General Test before August. This way you will receive your scores prior to November 1 deadlines.

If you don’t require GRE scores until after November, then you can take the GRE revised General Test. You will experience the new test-taker friendly design that allows you to move back and forth within a section and more. Plus, if you register to take the test in August or September 2011 will save 50% on your test fee.
