Here are a few very common FAQs for revised GRE:
1. How to compare old GRE and revised GRE scores?
Ans: According to me, we cannot compare the two scores based on the marks. ETS has declared a mapping table, but this conversion would not be helpful at all to strike a comparison. It is more advisable to compare the percentile scores as of now till ETS announces a clear comparison.

Ans: The revised GRE scores are valid for 5 years upto June 30th of 5th year. For e.g. if you took revised GRE on 26th September, 2011, your scores are valid upto 30th June, 2016.
3. Is Barron's wordlist necessary for revised GRE?
Ans: If you do not have time, there is no reason to worry about the Barron's wordlist. I prepared only the 1500 high frequency words and that is more than sufficient for the revised GRE.
