Letter to Examinees
October 23, 2010 gre® General Test Administration in China
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TEST TAKERS
Dear Examinee:
ETS places great importance on the validity of GRE scores. There was an issue with the October 23, 2010, administration of the GRE® General Test in China in which a previously used edition of the test was mistakenly administered. As a result of this administrative irregularity, ETS has made the difficult decision to cancel the scores of all individuals who tested at the October 23, 2010, administration in China.
Test takers are being offered a choice of three options:
take a make-up test on November 20, 2010
transfer to the June 11, 2011, test administration
receive a full refund of their test fee
We have automatically scheduled you to retake the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections of the GRE General Test at the make-up administration on November 20, 2010. You will not need to retake the Analytical Writing section since that administration was not affected. If you would like to test on November 20, 2010, please sign in to your My GRE account at www.ets.org/mygre and print your admission ticket from the October 23, 2010, administration. Bring the admission ticket and a copy of this email message to the make-up administration on November 20, 2010, in order to be admitted to test; no new admission tickets will be mailed. We are accelerating the score reporting timeframe for the November 2010 make-up administration and scores will be reported to institutions by December 10, 2010.
If you are planning to test on November 20, 2010, you do not need to contact us. However, if you prefer to transfer to the June 11, 2011, test administration, or you do not want to test and would like a full refund of your GRE General Test fee, please contact GRE Services by November 11, 2010. GRE Services can be reached via email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-609-771-7670. Phone lines are open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. New York time.
We regret that this isolated incident occurred and are taking steps to prevent a similar occurrence in the future. If you have any questions about the options listed above, please contact GRE Services at the email address or phone number listed above.
Sincerely,
The GRE Program
