USEFP’s testing labs cleared all fortnightly audits carried out by Prometric to check the effectiveness of testing operations in Pakistan. Throughout the quarter, the team consistently adhered to standard operating procedures and security measures, ensuring an impeccable examination experience for test takers across the country.
Some other highlights of the quarter were:
Upsurge in GRE requests
The department accommodated a large number of GRE test takers before the Fulbright deadline in April. To ensure that everyone could find space, our team worked with the Prometric team in Malaysia and opened up extra sessions and dates.
CFE exam
Prometric recently started to offer the Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE) exam in Islamabad and Lahore. This four-part exam tests knowledge of financial transactions and fraud schemes, law, investigation, and fraud prevention and deterrence.
GRE and TOEFL iBT changes
TOEFL iBT is expected to be shortened to just two hours on July 23, 2023, and the GRE General exam will see a major revamp in September 2023. Our testing department has been preparing diligently for these changes. The new GRE will take less than two hours to complete, making it the shortest and most efficient test for graduate school aspirants. It will also open up more slots, allowing the department to accommodate even more test takers.
