In new GRE you can repeat only once in 60 days.

In new GRE you can repeat only once in 60 days.
As ETS is going to implement new changes starting from Aug. 1, 2011, aims to serve as a better indicator of graduate school readiness. The maker of the GRE, the Educational Testing Service, will implement a wide array of changes that they hope will accomplish this goal.
.
In new test there will be no questions from Antonym & Analogy. Due to this reason vocaubulary will not play a major role. These are the biggest changes in the history of the GRE. Exam scores will be shifted to a 130-to-170-point scoring system in one-point increments, a change from the current 200-to-800 scale in 10-point increments. The new scoring system is designed to highlight larger discrepancies in scores in order to match them more accurately with percentiles.
The grading for the analytical writing section will remain unchanged. Scores range from zero-to-six. In the current version of the GRE, a perfect 800 on the math section equates to only the 94th percentile. The new GRE will be a multistage test, and correct answers in a given section will lead to harder questions and a higher scoring band and incorrect answers will have the opposite effect.
.
The user interface of the test will also be getting an updated look. A new built-in calculator function of the exam, while potentially helpful for test-takers, might also signify a more challenging math section. The essay portion of the test will be reduced from 45 to 30 minutes in length, and the prompts will be more focused, making it harder to prepare for the writing portion in advance. Students will also see a change in the frequency with which they are able to re-take the GRE, decreasing from the current once every 30 days to only once every 60 days.
.
Students who take the current GRE receive their scores on the Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning sections almost immediately. While the Educational Testing Service collects enough data to set up scoring for the new test, there will be a delay in score reporting of about two months.
As a result, students who take the revised test in August may not receive their scores until November or December, so those who plan to apply to graduate schools in the fall will need to take the GRE before the new test takes effect so they don’t miss application deadlines.
There are 3 types of questions in New GRE Verbal section
Reading Comprehension
Sentence equivalence
Text Completions
