Test Centers and Dates

Computer-based GRE® revised General Test

  • The GRE® revised General Test is given year-round at computer-based test centers in most locations around the world. Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Score reports are mailed to you and the score recipients you designate approximately 10–15 days after your test date. You can view your scores online at My GRE approximately 10–15 days after your test date.
  • You can take the GRE revised General Test (computer-based and paper-based) only once every 30 days, and no more than five times within any continuous rolling 12-month period. This applies even if you canceled your scores on a test taken previously. If you take only the paper-based GRE revised General Test, you may take it as often as it is offered.
