Now, in half the time, GRE is still the most widely used measure of graduate readiness
PRINCETON, N.J., May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ETS announced today that, starting in September, the GRE general test will take less than two hours to complete, roughly half the time of the current test. This makes the GRE General Test the shortest and most efficient test among the best admission test options for professionals, businesses, and law schools. The shorter GRE test will continue to provide test takers and institutions with the same valid and reliable scores that ETS has always counted on. Registration for the shorter test is now open for test dates starting on September 22, 2023.
Changes to the test include:
In addition to the test changes, test takers can expect to receive their official scores much faster, in just 8-10 days. These changes mark the first of several planned future updates to the GRE general test, all of which are intended to give test takers a better experience that values ??their time and reduces anxiety and fatigue.
“The changes we are announcing today underscore the emphasis we place on keeping our customers at the center of everything we do,” said ETS CEO Amit Sevak. “As we continue to introduce product innovations, we are committed to balancing two things: maintaining rigor and validity, while improving the test taker experience.”
Starting in September, test takers can access official GRE test preparation resources and practice tests designed for the new simplified test. Since the shorter test has the same types of questions (except for the removal of the “analyze an argument” analytical writing essay), test takers can continue to use existing official GRE preparation materials.
The GRE will continue to be the most valid, reliable, and secure assessment of graduate readiness in the world, just in less time. The scoring scales will also remain the same, allowing graduate programs to easily compare performance between cohorts before and after September 2023.

About the GRE General Test
The GRE® general test is the most widely used test in the world for admission to professional and graduate programs, including business and law. It confidently assesses verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills that are essential for success in most graduate programs. GRE scores are an essential part of holistic admissions due to their unique role on the application as the only fair, objective, and research-based measure of cognitive abilities. Since they were first introduced, GRE scores have opened doors for those with fewer socioeconomic resources and educational opportunities than their peers, and they still serve this purpose today.
