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. For the computer-based General Test, you will be asked to designate your score recipients at the test center. For the paper-based General Test, you will be asked to designate your score recipients during registration or on your admission ticket correction stub. You will be required to pay $20 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.

Computer-based General Test

At the test center, you will be asked to designate your score recipients. If an institution is not listed, ask the test center administrator for the appropriate form to indicate unlisted institutions. Complete the form and turn it in before you leave the test center. The form will not be accepted after you leave the test center.

You will view unofficial Verbal and Quantitative scores at the test center; however, because of the essay scoring process, you will not view your Analytical Writing score at that time. Test centers cannot provide printed copies of score reports. Official Verbal, Quantitative and Analytical Writing scores will be sent to you and the score recipients you designated within 10 to 15 days after you take the test. Allow sufficient time for mail delivery from Princeton, New Jersey, USA. These scores are also available through the Scores by Phone Service.

Paper-based General Test

You will be asked to designate your score recipients when registering for the test. If a score recipient is not listed, contact GRE before your test date.

Within four to 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.

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 General Test scores, only Subject 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.
