点评新GRE命题机构的官方说明

改变一：
笔考和机考结合的形式将被每月进行一到两次的机考取代。
With the introduction of the GRE revised General Test, you'll be able to take the entire test on computer (the Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and Analytical Writing sections) in one session, on the same day, instead of the current split-test administration.
点评：与考试内容无关，更加人性化，考生的准备时间更为经济且不会出现由于一次失败即需要漫长等待的情况。

改变二：
将实行统一全球收费结构，中国考生缴纳的考试费将接轨国际标准，消除了以往因参加分开考试所导致的价格差。
The test fees in these regions will also be aligned with the international fee structure, eliminating the split-test administration price tier.
点评：收费结构的统一化更容易从策略上赢得中国考生的信任与青睐。

改变三：
新GRE在考试中取消语文部分的类比和反义题，代之以阅读理解与生活场景题。增加equivalence新题型，阅读题量增加的同时也增加了多选题，句子高亮题。
Here's what is new for the Verbal Reasoning section:
·                     Antonyms and analogies have been removed from the test, so there are no questions that test vocabulary out of context.
·                     New Text Completion questions test your ability to interpret, evaluate and reason from what you've read. Text Completion questions test this ability by omitting crucial words from short passages, requiring you to fill them in by selecting words or phrases.
·                     New Sentence Equivalence questions test your ability to reach a conclusion about how a sentence should be completed while focusing on the meaning of the whole sentence.
·                     There are more Reading Comprehension questions on the test, including new types of questions, such as selecting multiple correct answer choices instead of just one, or highlighting a sentence within a reading passage to answer the question.

点评：这项改变才是GRE考试的学术改变核心，改变的趋势是一方面去掉了在美读研不会遇到的繁文缛节的题目类型，减低了一定不必要的难度，然而另一方面，增加了阅读中的题型和题量，特别是多项选择题出现更能够折射出考生的真实水平。
