先來看看官網主頁上是怎么說的：
The GRE revised General Test is coming August 2011. There are a lot of exciting changes in the works. New question types. New test-taker friendly format. And many more benefits.
Plus, you can save 50% if you test between August – September 2011. See the special score reporting schedule to see if this option is right for you.
通過簡短的幾句話我們能夠了解新G是從2011年8月開始實行，并且報名8-9月（August 1, 2011 – September 30, 2011）考試的考生報名費將減少50%。
對于是否報名8-9月的新G我想每個人都有不同的看法，報名費固然少了，但是8-9月份畢竟是ETS試運行時期，新題型考完的效果怎么樣，我們都無法估計，不過我個人覺得花一半的價錢買一次經驗還是值得的，新G主要考查的是考生的應用能力和邏輯判斷能力，不再是詞匯量的考查了，看了新題題型（下面我會給出）我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，考查實際應用的內容多了些，當然這并不意味著“紅寶”可以丟棄，只是對于那些很難的僻義詞ETS不會再考查了

接下來繼續(xù)看官網信息：

3. Choosing Between the Current Test and the Revised Test

If you need scores before November 2011, start planning now. You will need to take the current test. You will want to register early to ensure you get a seat for your preferred date and location. If you take the current test in either a split-test administration or paper-based test location early planning is especially important.
