Online GRE test heightens equity concerns.

As COVID-19 swept across the United States, standardized testing centers closed and the GRE General Test—an exam that9s required for admission to many U.S. graduate programs—went online. Since then, scores of academics have raised concerns about the equity of the online version of the test, arguing it disadvantages prospective students from rural and low-income backgrounds. "If I were … a student trying to take this exam, satisfying [the online testing] criteria would be extremely difficult for me," one professor told Science. Given these concerns, some academic departments have opted to move away from requiring GRE scores from prospective students. "It was simply a question of access," the professor said.
