GRE lit subject test

[hadunc]

This is just out of curiosity, but this was the second year that I took the GRE Literature test, and I noticed a huge drop in the number of people who showed up at the testing center this time around. Last year, I'd say there were about 50 or 60 of us. I remember it was such a big group that they had to find a different room for us to test in because the one they assigned us was too small. This year, I counted 10 of us. Did anyone else notice a huge decrease in the number of people who took the test? If so, do you think this is because fewer people are applying to Lit programs this year or did a number of schools do away with their subject test requirement? Other explanations?
