The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Program is administered by Educational Testing Service under policies determined by the GRE Board, an independent board affiliated with the Association of Graduate Schools (A G S) and the Council of Graduate Schools (C G S). The GRE Board and Educational Testing Service are dedicated to the principle of equal opportunity, and their programs, services and employment policies are guided by that principle. If state legislation that affects the GRE tests is enacted and becomes effective during the 2011-12 testing year, testing may be curtailed in the states in which the new laws would apply. GRE scores are not the property of the examinee even though the use, reporting and cancellation of scores are subject to various rights and restrictions as indicated in this Bulletin. The policies and procedures explained in this Bulletin are effective only for the 2011-12 testing year (August 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012) and supersede previous policies and procedures. The fees, terms and conditions contained in this Bulletin are subject to change. Visit www.ets.org/gre for the most up-to-date information. Copyright (c) 2011 by Educational Testing Service.

An on-screen calculator is also available. For those taking the paper-based GRE revised General Test, calculators will be provided at the test center for use during the test. --Special savings of 50% when you take the GRE revised General Test between August 1 and September 30, 2011. To learn more about saving 50% on your test fee, visit www.ets.org/gre/revised/discount.* (*50% discount offer applies to the GRE revised General Test administration fee only for tests taken from August 1, 2011 - September 30, 2011. Examinees who take the test during this testing period will be sent their scores by mid-November 2011. Fee and discount does not include all applicable fees, Value Added or similar taxes. Cannot be applied to previous registrations or combined with any other offers. Examinees who register within the promotional period may reschedule during such promotional period, subject to applicable fees; however, any and all other cancellations and rescheduled exams are non-refundable. Not valid for cash or cash equivalent. There are no guarantees of seat availability, so examinees must register to reserve a seat. All other GRE terms and conditions are in effect. E T S may modify or discontinue this offer at any time without notice.) Important score reporting information you need to know: If you take the GRE revised General Test during our special discount period of August - September 2011, your scores will be sent by mid-November. If you need your scores before November 2011, you need to take the General Test before August 2011. Verbal Reasoning Featuring new types of questions, the Verbal Reasoning section of the revised test more closely reflects the kind of thinking you will do in graduate or business school, and better measures your ability to understand what you read and how you apply your reasoning skills. Quantitative Reasoning You will still need to know basic math for the GRE revised General Test. The difference, however, is the increased emphasis on data interpretation and real-life scenarios. There are new types of questions that require you to show your quantitative reasoning ability. Plus, to reduce the emphasis on computation, we provide an on-screen calculator. For those taking the paper-based GRE revised General Test, calculators will be provided at the test center for use during the test. Analytical Writing The Analytical Writing section is not changing dramatically. You will still write two essays, one where you evaluate a logical argument, and the other where you express your views on a critical issue. However, you will need to provide more focused responses based on the tasks presented, so you can more accurately demonstrate your skill in directly responding to that task. Changes to the Design of the Computer-based revised General Test --New preview and review capabilities within a section --New "mark and review" feature to tag questions, so you can skip and return later --New ability to change/edit answers within a section --New on-screen calculator for the Quantitative Reasoning section Changes to the Design of the Paper-based Test --You will now enter your answers in a test book, rather than a separate answer sheet. --You will be provided an E T S calculator to use during the Quantitative Reasoning section; you may not use your own calculator. Important Information If You Need Your Scores Before November 2011 Scores on the revised General Test will be reported beginning in November 2011. If you need your scores before November 2011, you must take the GRE General Test before August 1, 2011. Testing in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea --With the introduction of the GRE revised General Test, test takers will 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. --The GRE revised General Test will be administered one to two times per month in these locations. See the scheduled test dates on page 38. 5 AT A GLANCE: COMPUTER-BASED GRE(R) REVISED GENERAL TEST REGISTRATION AND APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING Test takers with disabilities or health-related needs should refer to page 8.

Paper-based administrations are offered in areas of the world where computer-based testing is not available. The revised 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 Analytical Writing (AW), Verbal Reasoning (V) and Quantitative Reasoning (Q) sections. Testing time is listed below. Computer-based revised General Test AW: one section with two timed tasks: Analyze an Issue -- 30 minutes Analyze an Argument -- 30 minutes V: two 30-minute sections -- approximately 20 questions per section Q: two 35-minute sections -- approximately 20 questions per section In addition, an unidentified V or Q section that does not count toward a score may be included and may appear in any order after the Analytical Writing section. 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. Paper-based revised General Test AW: two sections -- one writing task per section: Analyze an Issue -- 30 minutes Analyze an Argument -- 30 minutes V: two 35-minute sections -- approximately 25 questions per section Q: two 40-minute sections -- approximately 25 questions per section GRe(R) Subject Tests The Subject Tests are paper-based tests in eight subject areas. Subject Tests measure achievement in specific subject areas and assume undergraduate majors or extensive background in those disciplines. Testing time is 2 hours and 50 minutes. Brief descriptions of the Subject Tests follow: B22 -- BIOCHEMISTRY, CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY The test consists of approximately 175 questions and is intended for students who are interested in graduate programs in biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology, along with related programs such as microbiology and genetics. The questions are distributed among three subscore areas: Biochemistry (36%), Cell Biology (28%) and Molecular Biology and Genetics (36%). B24 -- BIOLOGY The test consists of approximately 194 questions that are distributed among three subscore areas: Cellular and Molecular Biology, Organismal Biology and Ecology and Evolution.

The questions are classified approximately as follows: analytical chemistry (15%), inorganic chemistry (25%), organic chemistry (30%) and physical chemistry (30%). C29 -- COMPUTER SCIENCE The test consists of approximately 70 questions and is intended for students who plan to seek a graduate degree in computer science and who have taken courses in computer science at least to the level of an undergraduate major in computer science. The questions are classified approximately as follows: software systems and methodology (40%), computer organization and architecture (15%), theory and mathematical background (40%) and other topics, such as artificial intelligence, cryptography and social issues (5%). L64 -- LITERATURE IN ENGLISH The test consists of approximately 230 questions on literature in English from the British Isles, the United States and other countries. It also contains a few questions on major works, including the Bible, in translation. Factual questions test a student's knowledge of writers typically studied in college courses. Interpretive questions test a student's ability to read passages of poetry, drama, fiction and nonfiction prose perceptively; such questions may address meaning, use of language, form and structure, literary techniques and various aspects of style. The questions are classified as follows: literary analysis (40-55%), identification (15-20%), cultural and historical contexts (20-25%), history and theory of literary criticism (10-15%).

M68 -- MATHEMATICS The test consists of approximately 66 questions and is intended to measure both the knowledge of the content of undergraduate mathematics courses for mathematics majors and the mathematical abilities traditionally expected of those who intend to seek a graduate degree in mathematics. In addition to the usual sequence of elementary calculus courses, the examinee should have had mathematics-major courses in abstract algebra, linear algebra and real analysis that require students to demonstrate the ability to prove theorems and create counterexamples. The questions are classified approximately as follows: calculus (50%), algebra (25%) and other topics (25%).

It is a great way to broaden your search and hear about graduate and business school programs you might not have known about or considered. You will be given the option to register for the Search Service when you register for a GRE test. If you would like to participate in the service before you take a GRE test, you may register for the Search Service at any time at www.ets.org/mygre. See "My GRE Account" on this page. 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/revised/stusearch. ETS(R) PERSONAL POTENTIAL INDEX When used with GRE scores, the E T S(R) Personal Potential Index (E T S(R) PPI) helps you show graduate admissions programs a more complete picture of your potential for success. You can use the E T S PPI to send institutions information about your personal qualities that graduate and business school deans and faculty say are important for academic success. You simply ask evaluators you know to complete an online form that provides insight on your personal qualities, including knowledge and creativity, communication skills, teamwork, resilience, planning and organization, and ethics and integrity. That information is then compiled in an E T S PPI Evaluation Report that is sent to the institutions of your choice. It is a great opportunity to show more of what you can offer. If you register for the revised General Test, you will be able to send up to four E T S PPI Evaluation Reports to institutional recipients as part of your test fee. Additional reports can be sent for US20 dollars each. You can include evaluations in the E T S PPI Evaluation Reports for up to five years from the date they were completed. The unique information contained in the E T S PPI Evaluation Report can help graduate and business schools know that you are up to the challenge. To access the E T S PPI service or to learn more, visit www.ets.org/ppi. THE ETS MY CREDENTIALS VAULT(SM) SERVICE Letters of recommendation are a critical part of the graduate school application process, but managing multiple letters to multiple institutions can be challenging. Now there's a better way to stay organized. The E T S My Credentials VaultSM service is a secure, easy-to-use, web-based service that helps simplify the entire recommendation process. You and your letter writers can use this centralized system to manage recommendation letters from initial request through delivery to the graduate or business school of your choice. With this convenient online service, you can: --access the E T S My Credentials Vault service online anytime to collect, store, track and manage your letters of recommendation --receive e-mail notifications when letters are written or forwarded to the institutions you select --send one recommendation letter to multiple schools without having to ask the letter writer for additional documents.

In addition, you may seek reimbursement from E T S for reasonable and documented expenses associated with traveling to the test center, even though technical problems are generally not the fault of E T S. To request reimbursement, contact GRE Services (see page 8) with the following information within 30 days of your original appointment: your name, date of birth, mailing address, daytime telephone number, e-mail address, original test date and registration or CBT appointment number, and a brief description of what occurred at the test center. All reimbursements will be made in U.S. dollars. --For the computer-based revised General Test, you will be asked to designate your score recipients at the test center on the test day. 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. For paper-based tests, you will be asked to designate your score recipients when registering for the test. If a score recipient is not listed, contact GRE before your test date. --If you do not select score recipients on the test day, or when registering, or you would like to send your scores to more than four score recipients, you will need to submit an Additional Score Report request for a fee of US23 dollars per score recipient (see page 23). --If an institution that you have designated to receive your scores requests to see your photograph taken at the test center, E T S will send that photo or other information in E T S's files to that institution as necessary to detect or prevent unlawful activity and to protect the integrity of the GRE test. --Note for individuals testing in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea: The test will begin at 10 a.m. local time.

October 2-8, 2011 November 6-12, 2011 December 4-10, 2011 January 8-14, 2012 February 5-11, 2012 March 4-10, 2012 April 1-7, 2012 May 6-12, 2012 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 US50 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. ETS 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, copying or communication occurs or the score is invalid for another reason. In addition, if E T S has information that E T S considers sufficient to indicate that a test taker has engaged in any activity that affects score validity, such as having someone else take the test for you, obtaining test questions or answers via the Internet, email text messaging or postings, it will result in score cancellation and/or any other action E T S deems appropriate, including banning you from future tests. You must agree to these terms and conditions when you register for the test and on test day. 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. 25 SCORES & SCORE REPORTS (continued) TESTING IRREGULARITIES "Testing irregularities" refers to problems with the administration of a test. Testing irregularities may result from actions of test takers, test center personnel, E T S, or from natural or man-made causes. 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 [e.g., improper test forms], 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 administrators, 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 administrators 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 19-21 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. 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. Substantial evidence means evidence that is sufficient to persuade a reasonable person; the substantial evidence standard is lower (i.e., requires less proof ) than the reasonable doubt, clear and convincing, and preponderance of the evidence standards. 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 may 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 graduate schools and universities, E T S reserves the right to cancel test scores of any test taker when an essay response includes any of the following: --text that is unusually 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 submitted as work of the test taker that appear to have been borrowed in whole or in part from elsewhere or prepared by another person. When one or more of the above circumstances occurs, E T S may conclude, in its professional judgment, that the essay response does not reflect the independent writing skills that this test seeks to measure. When E T S reaches that conclusion, it cancels the Analytical Writing score; because Analytical Writing scores are an integral part of the GRE General Test scores, those scores are canceled as well. 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.
