-------- Original Message -------- Subject: GRE PROGRAM From: GRE <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Thank you for contacting the GRE Program. Dear Paul, Regarding your inquiry: The GRE Test is administered on a standard English language (QWERTY) computer keyboard. QWERTY is the most common modern-day keyboard layout on English language computer keyboards. It takes its name from the first six letters displayed at the top of the keyboard. We recommend that test takers practice typing on a QWERTY computer keyboard before taking the GRE. Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

I touch type exclusively using the Dvorak keyboard layout, which is a standard feature in all computer operating systems and which is an approved ANSI keyboard layout. While I can hunt and peck on the Qwerty keyboard layout, I cannot touch type on that layout and would be at a big disadvantage if I am forced to use the Qwerty layout. Do your test computers have options to switch between Qwerty and Dvorak, or do you have hard wired Dvorak labeled keyboards available for the use of myself and other Dvorak users?
