->The revised General Test being introduced in September 2007 will consist of revised Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Critical Thinking and Analytical Writing sections. These same three sections are in the current test; however, each of the sections will be revised to better focus on skills necessary for success in graduate school.

In addition, the test is changing from an adaptive test format, in which the questions presented to each examinee vary according to his or her performance, to a linear test format, in which all examinees testing at the same time receive the same questions. The name of the Analytical Writing section is being changed to Critical Thinking and Analytical Writing to more accurately reflect the skills being measured.
