Studying for 3-4 months and taking a single multiple choice test? That's why I changed my mind about it to begin.
The same argument could be made against CLEPs and DSSTs. It's still a multiple choice examination that evaluates independent learning no matter the time spent leading up to the exam, just like the other tests we take. I know I passed many CLEPs with no study at all, or at most a few weeks. Of course it's not for everyone, as you saw it wasn't for you, but for some of us, it has been the best possible route to a degree we could afford in a timely manner.
Thank you for pointing out that EC has honored degree plans in the past based on those grandfathered in by the current policy. If we can get any idea of when this change will be happening, it might be an idea to go ahead and apply now if you wanted to use a GRE.
