ETS strengthens the GRE by making it... easier?

On the new exams, the verbal reasoning section will consist of two 40-minute sections rather than one 30-minute section, and will place less emphasis on vocabulary and more on higher cognitive skills.

The quantitative reasoning section will grow from one 45-minute section to two 40-minute sections, with fewer geometry questions and more on interpreting tables and graphs. And the analytical writing measure, which had a 45-minute essay and a 30-minute essay, will now have two 30-minute essays.

And that's not even considering the fact that the best part of the GRE - the take-it-whenever-you-want bit - is being phased out as well. It'll still be a step above the four-goddamn-times-per-year familiar to recent LSAT-takers, but come on, ETS: can't you do anything right?
