style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial;">On
April 2, 2007, the Educational Testing Service (ETS), the developer of
the GRE, announced that the long-planned test change in September 2007
has been cancelled. This reverses their decision to launch the biggest
changes to the GRE in the past 55 years.<span style=""> </span></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial;">According
to ETS, the main reason for canceling the test change was that the plan
to reduce test dates from over 300 to only 35 days per year would have
caused a deficit in testing availability. <a

recommend that students take the current version of the GRE on the same
timeline they had planned, and avoid possible future changes to the
exam. If you have any questions on the cancellation of the test
change, please call one of our academic advisors at 1-800-KAP-TEST or
