The GRE Test in 2023 Gets a Makeover: Shorter, Faster, and Better!
 

The GRE General Test, the world's most widely used assessment for admission to graduate and professional programs, is about to undergo a significant transformation. Starting from September 22, 2023, the GRE will be shortened to less than 2 hours, almost half the time of the current test. Not only will it be shorter, but the revised test will also provide faster score reporting, enabling test-takers to submit their applications sooner. This article explores the key changes and benefits of the new GRE General Test format.

​

Shorter Duration, Same Skills

The most notable change is the reduction in test duration, making the GRE Test the shortest examination for admission to graduate and professional programs. Clocking in at less than 2 hours (1hr 58 min), the revised format saves valuable time for test-takers. Despite the shorter duration, the test will continue to measure the same essential skills and feature the same question types, ensuring that test-takers' preparation remains relevant.

​

Fewer Questions, Reduced Fatigue

To alleviate test-taking fatigue, the shorter GRE Test will feature 46 fewer Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning questions. This reduction enables test-takers to maintain focus and perform at their best throughout the examination. By trimming the number of questions, the revised test aims to provide a more manageable and less exhausting experience.

 

Simplified Structure

The revised ETS GRE General Test will have only one Analytical Writing essay, as opposed to the current version's two essays. This change streamlines the structure of the test while still assessing test-takers' analytical writing skills effectively. The simplified structure enhances the overall flow of the examination, allowing test-takers to showcase their abilities more efficiently.

 

Faster GRE Score Reporting

One of the most exciting developments is the faster GRE score reporting timeline. Within just 8–10 days of completing the GRE Test, test takers may anticipate receiving their official results. This accelerated reporting process enables applicants to submit their scores to graduate programs more promptly, eliminating unnecessary delays in the application process.

 

Preparation and Resources

For those preparing for the revised ETS GRE General Test, ETS has provided official test prep resources and practice tests specifically designed for the updated format. While the structure may have changed slightly, test-takers can still rely on existing Official GRE Prep materials for their preparation. The familiarity of the question types and formats ensures that prior studying efforts remain valuable.

 

Maintaining Validity and Comparability

The GRE Test continues to be the most accurate, secure, and trustworthy method of determining graduate preparation despite revisions to the test's format. The score scales will stay the same, enabling graduate programs to effectively compare performance across test takers who took the exam before and after September 2023.

 

Conclusion

The introduction of the shorter and faster ETS GRE General Test heralds a new era for graduate and professional school admissions. The reduced test duration, combined with streamlined sections and faster score reporting, offers significant benefits to test-takers. With the same skills measured and question types used, students can continue their preparation confidently. The GRE General Test continues to be a trusted and valuable assessment for aspiring graduate students, now in a more efficient and time-conscious format
