Getting Your Scores
Reporting Your Scores
As part of your test fee, you may request that scores be sent to as many as four graduate institutions or fellowship sponsors. You will be asked to designate your score recipients during registration or on your admission ticket correction stub. If a score recipient is not listed, contact GRE before your test date. You will be required to pay US$23 per recipient to have scores sent at a later date.
ETS sends official score reports directly to all authorized score recipients you designate. Your score report is intended only for your information and personal records. Institutions have the option of receiving scores in a format that is distributed approximately twice a month; therefore allow additional time for receipt and processing.
Within six weeks after you take the test, score reports will be sent to you and the score recipients you designated. See the approximate score report mailing dates below. Allow sufficient time for mail delivery from Princeton, New Jersey, USA. To hear your scores sooner, use the Scores by Phone Service detailed below.

Additional Score Reports (ASRs) by Phone
Fee: US$23 per score recipient for up to eight recipients
Score reports will be mailed to you and to your designated institutions approximately five business days after your call. Scores must be initially reported before you can use this service. Institutions that receive scores on CD are sent reports approximately twice a month. Requests for "Test Taker Copies Only" or changes in your mailing address cannot be processed through this service.
Cumulative Reporting (Score Retention)
- GRE® score reporting is cumulative. Current GRE Board policy states that your scores are retained for the five testing years following the testing year in which you tested.
- All scores earned during this time will be reported to each institution you designate.
- You may choose to send only Subject Test scores, only General Test scores, or both scores, but you may not choose to have only those scores from a specific test date reported.
- Your score report will indicate your designated recipients and your cumulative record reported at that time. However, your designated recipients will not receive information concerning the other score recipients you have chosen.
Paper-based Test Hand Scoring
Fee: US$30
Hand scoring for a Subject Test is available up to six months after the administration. Submit the fee with your written request; include your full name, date of birth, test date, registration number, address and phone number. Mail the request to GRE General Inquiries. If the score review process results in a higher or lower score, the new score(s) will be reported.
