最新改革计划如下:
GRE命题组正在研究对语文（verbal reasoning）、数学（quantitative reasoning）、分析性写作（analytical writing）部分的改革，以增强考试的有效性，提高安全措施，为大学教职员工提供有关申请者能力的更真实信息，和更好地利用技术及心理测量学设计方面的新进展。GRE命题组现在正筹划去贯彻执行这些调整。
语文部分的计划改革包括：
对更高认知能力的进一步强调；对词汇的更少依赖
更多基于文本的材料，比如阅读段落
对阅读段落更广泛的选择
对涉及研究生工作的能力的强调，比如综合推理能力
对计算机化任务的拓展（例如，在一段中高亮显示一句和问题中描述的作用相关联的话）
数学部分的计划改革包括：
对通常用于研究生院的定量推理能力的要求
几何学问题比例的下降
应用题比例的上升
对技术更好的运用（例如，在计算机上的运算）
分析性写作的计划改革包括：
新的、更集中的提示以减少对记忆性材料的依赖
Issue与Argument的写作时间都将是30分钟
当改革方向变得更明确时，GRE网站上的信息将会更新。

ETS原文如下：
Changes to GRE General Test Being Investigated
The GRE Program is investigating changes to the verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing measures in order to increase the validity of the test, enhance security measures, provide faculty with better information on applicants' performance, and make better use of advances in technology and psychometric design. The GRE Program is currently planning to implement these changes in October 2006.
The changes planned for the verbal measure include:
Greater emphasis on higher cognitive skills; less dependence on vocabulary
More text-based materials, such as reading passages
A broader selection of reading passages
Emphasis on skills related to graduate work, such as complex reasoning
Expansion of computer-enabled tasks (e.g., highlighting a sentence in a passage that serves the function described in the question)
The changes planned for the quantitative measure include:
Quantitative reasoning skills that are closer to skills generally used in graduate
school
Proportion of Geometry questions decreased
Proportion of questions involving "real-life" scenarios increased
Better use of technology (e.g., on-screen calculator)
The changes planned for the analytical writing measure include:
New, more focused prompts that will reduce the possibility of reliance on memorized materials
The Issue and Argument tasks will each be 30 minutes in length
As the direction of the potential changes becomes clearer, information on the GRE Web site will be updated.
