Aggies get chance to earn big bucl □ In order to receive feedback from students, portions of the GRE will go through a trial run. Internet home page: http:/ /www.kaplan.com By Heather Pace The Batfalion Students interested in earning up to $55 for two hours of work can participate in a pi lot test for a new math section of the Gradu ate Record Examinations. The test will be administered between Oc tober and December at 10 universities in the United States, including Texas A&M. Students should be juniors, seniors or first-year graduate students who are major ing in science, math, engineering or econom ics. Interested students must also have tak en an introductory calculus course. The computerized test will require stu dents to take a tutorial course to learn how to use the test program. The tutorial allows the participant to take unlimited time and focus on specific areas as much as needed. After the tutorial, the students will com plete a questionnaire and 35 test questions. Students will receive $20 for completing the test and an additional $5 for every five questions answered correctly. Students will receive their scores immedi ately after the test, and checks will be sent out within four weeks of testing. Kevin Gonzales, who is working with Ed ucational Testing Services’ pilot test, said pi lot examinations are a normal occurrence at ETS, which is currently looking specifically for student input. “It is something we do with a lot of our tests to see the reactions of people to the new items and to see what types of answers they generate,” Gonzales said. Students now have the option to take the traditional test or the computer test, but the new GRE will be completely computerized. The new test will be computer adaptive, which prevents students from going back and changing answers. The computer adaptive system is a more efficient method of testing because if the student can an swer a question of medium difficulty, the computer will then give the student a more difficult question. While the current test has verbal, math- Hose lass le B IN, ematical and analytical sections change structure in 1999 to includs; tions. “The new 5-section, modularGl nitely in the cards,” Gonzales said The new test will have two differ sections.
