Hi Crew,
The new GRE doesn't start until August 1st. So no one has taken it yet. The math section is significantly changed from the old test. It would be best for you to go to the library and check out a book on the new GRE from the Princeton Review or the ETS if you want an in depth information on the new test. Some of the changes are being able to use a calculator, but also some questions are not multiple choice any more. Instead you have to write in your own answer. You are also allowed to go back to previous questions in some parts of the test. The test will no longer be computer assisted. This means that the difficulty of the questions will not change based on whether you got the previous question right or wrong. There are also significant changes in the reading/writing part of the test. They have removed the antonyms and the analogies. I have heard that they have made the reading comprehension harder. I don't know what if anything they have replaced the antonyms and analogies with. I hope this helps.

Good luck if you are taking it.

Thanks for this!
Crew
