Taking tests on paper is a much more fair way to administer a test. If different people see different questions, how is that fair at all? I think that Sharon brings up some very good points.

During my exam, we had a sample experimental section that was a sample of this new test. For some of the questions, you were allowed to select multiple answers, which would have made both scoring and success extremely difficult.

In its current form, it is a rather easy test. The changes sounded like they would make the test more challenging. Actually, people are lucky that the GRE isn’t changing.
