GRE launches Facebook page

 In a move to connect with test takers better, the GRE programme has launched its Facebook page giving those considering graduate or business school admission greater opportunity to share advice with prospective test takers, and get clear information about the GRE revised general test.

The ‘I'm Taking the GRE revised General Test' Facebook page is being introduced for those taking the current GRE test to meet score reporting deadlines and also those who want to take the GRE revised general test which launches around the world in August 2011.

“With more than seven lakh GRE tests taken each year around the world, it's a far-reaching community,” says Sharon Lawler-Sudell, Brand Director for the GRE programme at Educational Testing Service (ETS). “We thought it was important to engage with test takers in a way that they want to get information and communicate.”

Free alerts

To further help prospective test takers, the GRE Programme has also recently introduced a new ‘http://takethegre.com' website. The site includes information about the GRE general test and the GRE revised general test, plus access to free, official GRE test preparation software and materials. Prospective test takers can sign up for free alerts and reminders about registration, test preparation, and more.

There are even options for test takers to customise the information they receive based on the location of the world where they plan to test or if they are planning to pursue a graduate or MBA degree. “We especially wanted the site to be an easy resource for those people looking for helpful information about the test,” says Sharon.

The GRE revised general test will be introduced worldwide in August 2011. ETS will offer a limited-time 50 percent discount on the test fee to all individuals who take the GRE revised General Test between August 1 and September 30, 2011. Test takers can visit takethegre.com for full details. Registration for the GRE revised General Test opens from March 15.
