Supplementary Test Centers

If you are more than 125 miles from the nearest center scheduled to administer the paper-based Subject Tests on October 10, 2009, or the paper-based General Test on October 24, 2009, you may request a supplementary center. Your request must:

1. accompany your completed registration form and fees
2. be received by the special registration deadline for the General Test or the Subject Test
3. include the name and complete address of an institution and staff member willing to administer the test
4. indicate if you would prefer another test date or a refund since centers cannot be guaranteed
5. explain why the available test centers are not suitable

Monday Testing

To register, mail your paper registration form (found in the GRE® Bulletin, fees, and letter — signed by your cleric on letterhead stationery — confirming your affiliation with a recognized religious body that observes its Sabbath on Saturday.

• Your request must be received by the special registration deadline for the General Test or Subject Test.
• Leave the code number blank on your registration form, but indicate the city and state where you wish to test.
• You will be assigned to the closest available center within 125 miles for locations that are scheduled for Saturday test dates.
• No standby testing is permitted.
