Dear Tipsters,
There have been many studies of the predictive validity of the GRE, the ones
conducted independently of ETS being of most interest. There are also reports
about the construction of the GRE by our colleagues who have been involved
(e.g., Kalat and Matlin, 2000).

Of course I am fairly certain that Robert Sternberg has published data
showing
that the GRE is, in fact, not a very strong predictor of success in
grad

I'm not sure what this had to do with GRE (unless it referred to
GRE question), but definitional (deviation) formula can be easier
for a much larger numbe
I think that the Raw Score formula easier to use with any sample larger than 4 or 5
scores

speaking from my own (admittedly anecdotal) experience, I can say
that I very significantly improved my GRE verbal score by memorizing
vocabulary words. In retrospect, I attribute getting into UCLA and
ending up where I am today to this strategy...but of course as a

Well, just using anecdotes from students who have taken such courses,
including the Kaplan course: they all found them extremely helpful,
especially in brushing up on test-taking techniques and long forgotten
math formulas. They knew they knew all this, but had forgotten over the
years since SAT pr
I don't have any references to formal studies on the value of GRE preparation
and I am not sure what exactly the Kaplan program includes. However, I have a
colleague who advises students to prepare for the GRE by getting an

The analytical portion is not being phased out, but it is being
changed. Beginning next year (fall, I believe), the analytical portion
will be an "Analytical Writing" section. It will be two separate writing

Cynthia,
I took the new, computerized GRE (general test) about 18 months ago. It is
much shorter than the written version and takes less than half a day. This
shortened version is accomplished by assessing each answer on-line to
determine the appropriate difficulty level for the next question.
Another GRE question to be added to the list below:
Is the GRE phasing out the analytical portion? If so, does anyone know why?
