will be changes made to official English tests, include TOEIC, which will be
held an additional 2 times a year, in February and August.
The Korean TOEIC Committee is holding the TOEIC tests on Feb. 12 and Aug. 13.

all 4 sections: reading, listening, speaking, and writing) in addition to the 4
previously published cards, which showed only the score for a solo section
only. Further information regarding to TOEIC can be found at Hackers TOEIC
TOEFL will continue with limiting the numbers of tests at intervals of eight
days, a rule which was made last July. TOEFL Junior, which is for kids from 10 to 15 years old, will include the writing
and speaking sections on computers during the second half of this year.
The GRE (Graduate Record Examination), which is required for admission to US
graduate schools, has made the biggest change. ETS, the organization that sets
the GRE?s questions, will eliminate written exams, which were held only 2 times
a year. Instead, ETS will change the exam to a CBT (Computer Based Test). The
format of vocabulary-related questions, which previously just asked the meaning
of words, will be changed to ask testers to find the meanings of words using
context. For those who take revised GRE tests this Aug. and Sep., the fee will
be discounted 50 percent.
The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), which is mandatory for those prepare
for admission to US MBA schools, has made no significant change. However,
according to the cancellation policy in effect since last November, $150, 60
percent of the registration fee, will be return when more than seven days are
left from the test day, and $50, 20 percent of the registration fee, will be return
when less than seven days are left.
