New GRE for MFE

[Faisal]

I wonder how favorably would the MFE admission committee view the new (or as ets says, revised) GRE. I believe it would entail a correct response to all questions to get a perfect score in the quant section of the new GRE compared to the old one where one could get a 800 even by getting a few wrongs. Moreover (in my opinion) the verbal section too is a better judge of reasoning with less emphasis on rote learning of esoteric words and more stress on understanding of passages.

It's all relative. Applicants using the old score will likely be judged against scores that previous years' applicants receive. Applicants using the new scores will be judged based on applicants that use new scores.

The percentile for the new GRE scores as well as a correspondent to the old scores format will be reported. Comparisons between old GRE scores and new GRE scores will be fairly easy to make.

I just took the revised GRE test, should I report the new scale score or convert them to old scales?
