    GRE impacted by new requirements?

    I've been looking for this information. Thanks for the post.

    I'm curious to know if/how the GRE for Pscyhology exam would be impacted by these new requirements.

    Specifically:
    - Is it still valid to gain GRE credits for Psychology the same as before this change?
