ABOUT THE GRE(R) TESTS General Test The General Test is offered as a computer-based test in the U.S., Canada, and many other countries. Paper-based General Test administrations are offered in areas of the world where computer-based testing is not available. The General Test measures skills that have been developed over a long period of time and are not necessarily related to any particular field of study. The test is composed of Verbal Reasoning (V), Quantitative Reasoning (Q), and Analytical Writing (AW) sections. Typical testing time is listed below. Computer-Based General Test V: 30-minute section--30 questions Q: 45-minute section--28 questions AW: two sections--one writing task per section: Present Your Perspective on an Issue--45 minutes Analyze an Argument--30 minutes Paper-Based General Test V: two 30-minute sections--38 questions per section Q: two 30-minute sections--30 questions per section AW: two sections--one writing task per section: Present Your Perspective on an Issue--45 minutes Analyze an Argument--30 minutes In addition, an unidentified V or Q section that does not count toward a score may be included. Be sure to complete all V or Q sections since you will not know which ones will be counted as part of your score. An identified research section that is not scored may also be included in the computer-based General Test. Free test preparation material available at www.ets.org/gre/ greprep describes the test in more detail and provides information to help you understand the scores you earn.

GRE SERVICES GRE Search Service The GRE Search Service matches prospective graduate students with participating graduate schools and fellowship sponsors. If you match the recruitment profile of a participating institution/organization, you may be sent information about graduate programs, admission requirements, financial aid opportunities, fellowships, and other graduate education opportunities. It's a great way to broaden your search and hear about graduate programs you might not have known about or considered. You will be given the option to register for the Search Service on the day of your computer-based GRE General Test or when you register for the paper-based GRE General Test or a GRE Subject Test. You may also register for the Search Service only at www.ets.org/ gre/stusearch. When you participate in the Search Service, your background information, contact information, and broad score ranges into which your test scores fall will be added to the Search Service database so that participating institutions can locate you. Information provided to participating schools does not include individual GRE test scores. To learn more about the service, visit www.ets.org/gre/stusearch.

E T S(R) Personal Potential Index (New) The E T S(R) Personal Potential Index (E T S PPI) is a web-based system for evaluating six key personal attributes of applicants that graduate deans and faculty have identified as essential for graduate study. The six dimensions are Knowledge and Creativity, Communication Skills, Teamwork, Resilience, Planning and Organization, and Ethics and Integrity. E T S PPI allows you to provide prospective graduate programs with a more complete picture of your potential to succeed in graduate school because it provides information about a broader range of your capabilities than are captured in grades, test scores, and recommendation letters. 9 GRE SERVICES (continued) The E T S PPI will be available to everyone who registers for the GRE General Test beginning in May 2009. GRE test registrants will be able to send up to four E T S PPI evaluation reports at no additional charge. The E T S PPI is also available to individuals who are not planning to take the GRE General Test for a fee of 20 dollars per report. The E T S PPI process is very simple and straightforward. --The applicant logs in to the E T S PPI system and identifies evaluators to complete an evaluation. --E T S sends an e-mail to the evaluators with a link to the E T S PPI system. --The evaluators log in to the E T S PPI system, rate the applicant on the six personal attributes specified above, and provide an overall evaluation. Evaluators can also provide additional comments for each attribute and the overall rating. --E T S sends an e-mail to the applicant when each evaluation is completed. --When all evaluations are completed, the applicant logs in to the E T S PPI system and designates which institutions should receive an E T S PPI evaluation report, and which evaluations should be included in each report. Up to five evaluations can be included in each evaluation report. --E T S creates the E T S PPI Evaluation Report(s) specified by the applicant and sends the reports to the institution(s) designated by the applicant. To access the new E T S PPI service or for additional information, visit www.ets.org/ppi. E T S(R) My Credentials Vault(SM) (New) Letters of recommendation are a critical component of the graduate admissions process. It is essential that letters be received by intended graduate programs prior to the relevant application deadlines. Because each school has its own system and set of requirements for collecting letters, professors must navigate a host of different systems and required formats, and it is difficult for applicants to track the status of their letters. The new E T S My Credentials Vault(SM) service provides a safe and easy way for applicants to collect, store, and manage letters of recommendation. Professors can write letters in any format they choose and My Credentials Vault ensures that the letters arrive safely, on time, and in the format preferred by the graduate school. Applicants can track and manage their letters online, confidently and conveniently, at any time. For more information, visit www.ets.org/mycv.

Under no circumstances may test content or any part of the test content be removed, reproduced, and/or disclosed by any means (e.g., hard copy, verbally, electronically) to any person or entity. --tampering with a computer --attempting to remove scratch paper from the computer-based testing room or using scratch paper during untimed sections of the test or during breaks --bringing a weapon or firearm into the test center --bringing food, drinks, or tobacco into the testing room --leaving the test center vicinity during the test session or during breaks --leaving the testing room without permission --taking excessive or extended unscheduled breaks during the test session. Test center administrators are required to strictly monitor unscheduled breaks and report test takers who take excessive or extended breaks. --referring to, looking through, or working on any test, or test section, when not authorized to do so, or working after time has been called --failing to follow any of the test administration regulations contained in this Bulletin, given by the test administrator or specified in any test materials --E T S reserves the right to take all action--including, but not limited to, barring you from future testing and/or canceling your scores--for failure to comply with test administration regulations or the test administrator's directions. If your scores are canceled, they will not be reported, and your fees will not be refunded. Canceling Scores At the end of the test, you will be given the option to cancel your scores. You cannot cancel your score for one section of the test and have the scores for the remaining sections reported. Although you have the option to cancel your scores, consider very carefully before doing so. Your scores will be reported to GRE score recipients only at your request. If you cancel your scores, they will NOT be reported to you or any score recipients, and no refund will be made. Canceled scores are not added to your permanent record. If you wish to take the test again, you must reregister and submit another test payment. SCORE REINSTATEMENT Fee: 30 dollars Scores canceled by you can be reinstated if your request is received at E T S within 60 days after your test date. You may fax or mail a written request to GRE (see General Inquiries on page 7). Your request must include your name, date of birth, daytime phone number, test date and registration number, payment, and up to four free score recipients. Include the appropriate department codes and indicate what scores you want sent. You may choose to send only General Test scores, only Subject Test scores, or all scores, but you may not choose to have only those scores from a specific test date reported. If you do not select score recipients at this time, you must pay 20 dollars per recipient to have scores sent at a later date. Scores will be reinstated and reported approximately two weeks after your request for the computer-based General Test or on the approximate score report mailing date listed on page 31 of this Bulletin, for the paper-based General Test or Subject Tests. Your scores will be mailed to you and your designated score recipients shortly thereafter. Absence from a Test If you are absent from a test administration, you will forfeit your test fee. Institutions will not receive any information about your absence or about any previous score you may have on file. SCORES & SCORE REPORTS Reporting Your Test Scores --GRE score reporting is cumulative. Current GRE Board policy states that your scores are reportable for five years. Your scores are retained for the five testing years following the testing year in which you tested. All scores earned during this time will be reported to each score recipient you designate. --You may choose to send only General Test scores, only Subject Test scores, or both. --You may not choose to have only those scores from a specific test date reported. --Your score report will indicate your designated recipients and your cumulative record reported at that time. However, your designated recipients will not receive information concerning the other score recipients you have chosen. --The GRE Program is investigating providing the opportunity for test takers to view their GRE scores online. If this service is implemented, mailing of paper score reports to test takers in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada may be discontinued. Test takers in these regions who are not able to access the Internet to view and print their score report online may contact GRE to have a paper score report mailed to them (see page 7). COMPUTER-BASED GENERAL TEST You will be able to view unofficial Verbal and Quantitative scores at the test center; however, because of the essay scoring process, you will not be able to view your Analytical Writing score at that time. Test centers cannot provide printed copies of score reports. At the testing center, you may request that scores be sent to as many as four graduate institutions or fellowship sponsors at no additional charge. If you do not select score recipients on the test day, you must pay 20 dollars per recipient to have scores sent at a later date. If an institution is not listed, ask the test center administrator for the appropriate form to indicate unlisted institutions. Complete the form and turn it in before you leave the test center. The form will not be accepted after you leave the test center. Score reports are mailed to you, and the score recipients you designated, within 10 to 15 days after you take the test. You can also obtain scores by phone when they are available (see page 17). PAPER-BASED GENERAL TEST OR SUBJECT TESTS As part of your test fee, you may request that scores be sent to as many as four graduate institutions or fellowship sponsors. You will be asked to designate your score recipients when registering for the test. If you do not select score recipients during registration, or on your admission ticket correction stub, you must pay 20 dollars per recipient to have scores sent at a later date. If a score recipient is not listed, contact GRE before your test date. Score reports are mailed to you and the score recipients you designated within six weeks after you take the test. See page 31 of this Bulletin for approximate score report mailing dates. You can also obtain scores by phone when they are available (see below). 17 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) Order Additional Score Reports (ASRs) Fee: 20 dollars each Additional score reports can be ordered online, by phone, fax, or mail, up to five years following your test date. --To order additional score reports online, visit www.ets.org/gre/asrsonline. --To order by phone, see "Phone Services for Scores" below. --For fax or mail, download the ASR form at www.ets.org/gre/ stupubs or use the ASR form that you receive with your score report. Changes cannot be made and requests cannot be canceled after the form is mailed or faxed. NOTE: If you are registering to take a GRE test and have changed your name since you took a previous GRE test and want current and previous scores reported, follow these instructions. --Computer-based tests -- At the test center, ask the test center administrator for the appropriate form. Complete the form and turn it in before you leave the test center. The form will not be accepted after you leave the test center. --Paper-based tests -- Enclose an ASR form with your registration form; there is no charge. If you register online, complete the ASR form and return it with your correction stub after you receive your admission ticket.

If the score review process results in a higher or lower score, the new score(s) will be reported. 18 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) Preventing Unauthorized Release of Your Scores It is a GRE Board policy that your scores be reported only to you, to institutions of higher education granting the baccalaureate or higher degrees, to approved graduate fellowship-granting sponsors, and to vendors the score recipients might designate to process the scores they receive. Score reports will be released only upon your request. E T S will not release your scores at the request of institutions or fellowship sponsors except for use in research studies that are approved by the GRE Board and that provide anonymity for the test takers and the institutions they attend. Note: Your score record and the documents you completed that are retained at E T S may be released to third parties, e.g., government agencies, parties to a lawsuit, if requested pursuant to a subpoena or required by applicable law. GRE Diagnostic Service -- for Computer-Based Tests only grediagnostic.ets.org If you have taken the computer-based GRE General Test and have received your official E T S score report in the mail, use this free service to view information about your performance on the Verbal and Quantitative sections of your computer-based General Test. This information includes the types of questions you answered right and wrong, the difficulty level of each question, and the time spent on each question. This service will be available to you for six months following the receipt of your score report. Question-and-Answer Review Service CBT VERBAL AND QUANTITATIVE SECTIONS Fee: 50 dollars This service allows you to review the verbal and quantitative test questions that you answered incorrectly on your computer-based General Test. The questions are presented with your answers and the correct answers. The service is available to individuals who test in the U.S., U.S. Territories, or Puerto Rico during one of the eight weeks listed below. Review sessions will be available at CBT test centers approximately 30 days after the test date, and for up to 60 days thereafter. July 5-11, 2009 September 6-12, 2009 October 4-10, 2009 November 8-14, 2009 December 6-12, 2009 January 10-16, 2010 April 4-10, 2010 May 9-15, 2010 You may make an appointment three days after you take your General Test. Plan to be at the test center up to one and one-half hours. To reschedule, contact the center no later than three full days before your appointment. The rescheduling fee is 50 dollars and there are no refunds for this service. Test Takers' Background Information Data and Performance Data Test takers' answers to background information questions and their performance data may be used in analysis samples, score interpretation data, group statistics, and research studies. Test takers' essay responses may be used in E T S materials to train scorers, to help score recipients interpret scores, or to help examinees prepare for the test. In each instance, all identifying information will be removed. E T S Review of Test Questions E T S routinely follows extensive review and quality control procedures to detect and avoid flawed questions and consequent errors in scoring. Such procedures include independent reviews by qualified individuals, pretesting questions for the General Test, feedback from test takers after they have taken a GRE test, and careful analysis of performance data on each question after it has been administered in a GRE test. Nonetheless, occasionally an error may be discovered after scores have been reported. Whenever this happens, the specific circumstances are reviewed carefully, and a decision is made about how best to take corrective action that is the most fair to all concerned. Cancellation of Scores by E T S E T S strives to report scores that accurately reflect the performance of every test taker. Accordingly, E T S's standards and procedures for administering tests have two primary goals: giving test takers equivalent opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, and preventing any test takers from gaining an unfair advantage over others. To promote these objectives, E T S reserves the right to cancel any test score when, in E T S's judgment, a testing irregularity occurs, there is an apparent discrepancy in a test taker's identification, the test taker engages in misconduct or plagiarism, or the score is invalid for another reason. Reviews of scores by E T S are confidential. When, for any of the above reasons, E T S cancels a test score that has already been reported, it notifies score recipients that the score has been canceled, but it does not disclose the reason for cancellation except when authorized to do so by the test taker, and in certain group cases. TESTING IRREGULARITIES "Testing irregularities" refers to problems with the administration of a test. When testing irregularities occur, they may affect an individual or groups of test takers. Such problems include, without limitation, administrative errors (such as improper timing, improper seating, defective materials, and defective equipment); improper access to test content; and other disruptions of test administrations (such as natural disasters or other emergencies). When testing irregularities occur, E T S may decline to score the test, or cancel the test score. When, in E T S's judgment it is appropriate to do so, E T S gives affected test takers the opportunity to take the test again as soon as possible without charge. IDENTIFICATION DISCREPANCIES When, in E T S's judgment, or the judgment of test center personnel, there is a discrepancy in a test taker's identification, the test taker may be dismissed from the test center. In addition, E T S may decline to score the test or cancel the test score if the documents or photos from the test day cannot be authenticated. MISCONDUCT When E T S or test center personnel find that there is misconduct in connection with a test, the test taker may be dismissed from the test center, or E T S may decline to score the test, or cancel the test score. Misconduct includes, but is not limited to, noncompliance with the "Test Center Procedures and Regulations," listed on pages 14-16 of this Bulletin. Test takers whose scores are canceled will forfeit their test fees and must pay to take the entire GRE test again at a future administration. No record of score cancellations, or the reason for cancellation, will appear on their future score reports sent to colleges, universities, and/ or fellowship sponsors. 19 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) INVALID SCORES E T S may also cancel scores if, in its judgment, there is substantial evidence that they are invalid for any other reason. Evidence of invalid scores may include, without limitation, discrepant handwriting, unusual answer patterns, and inconsistent performance on different parts of the test. Before canceling scores pursuant to this paragraph, E T S notifies the test taker in writing about its concerns, gives the test taker an opportunity to submit information that addresses E T S's concerns, considers any such information submitted, and offers the test taker a choice of options. The options include voluntary score cancellation, a free retest, or arbitration in accordance with E T S's standard Arbitration Agreement. In addition, the test taker is sent a copy of a booklet, Why and How Educational Testing Service Questions Test Scores, which explains this process in greater detail. (This booklet is available to any test taker at any time on request.) Note: The retest option is available only to test takers in the United States and Canada. The arbitration option is available only for tests administered in the United States. Your essay responses on the Analytical Writing section will be reviewed by E T S essay-similarity-detection software and by experienced essay readers during the scoring process. In light of the high value placed on independent intellectual activity within United States graduate schools and universities, E T S reserves the right to cancel test scores of any test taker when there is substantial evidence that an essay response includes, but is not limited to, any of the following: --text that is similar to that found in one or more other GRE essay responses; --quoting or paraphrasing, without attribution, language that appears in published or unpublished sources; --unacknowledged use of work that has been produced through collaboration with others without citation of the contribution of others; --essays that are submitted as work of the examinee when the words have, in fact, been borrowed from elsewhere or prepared by another person. When one or more of the above circumstances occurs, your essay text, in E T S's professional judgment, does not reflect the independent writing skills that this test seeks to measure. Therefore, E T S must cancel the Analytical Writing score as invalid and cannot report the GRE General Test scores of which the Analytical Writing score is an indispensable part. Test Fairness and Score Use E T S and the GRE Program have taken steps to ensure, to the extent possible, that tests and test scores are fair for all test takers, regardless of group membership. In addition, the GRE Board has developed guidelines for the use of GRE scores, which summarize the considerations for appropriate use of the scores and encourage institutions to use GRE scores appropriately. For information about test fairness and appropriate use of GRE scores, visit www.ets.org/gre/greguidelines. 20 CBT INTERNATIONAL Regional Registration Centers The Regional Registration Centers (RRCs) and the countries associated with each region are listed below.
