Take new or old GRE?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Okay so I'm applying to grad schools next year and I'm debating between whether I should go for the new GRE or the old GRE.</p>

<p>My quantitative skills are better than most people in my department (astrophysics), so I expect a near-800 either way. I do believe, however, that the new GRE might increase the variance in the quantitative section so that there might be fewer people who score near-800 (and I'm thinking that this might work in my advantage). I'm not that sure though.</p>

<p>You can download both PowerPrep (old GRE) and PowerPrep II (new GRE) so that you can assess which one is easier for you.</p>
