General Registration
Register for the GRE Computer-based General Test
The General Test is offered as a computer-based test in the U.S.,
Canada, and many other countries. Paper-based General Test
administrations are offered in areas of the world where
computer-based testing is not available. See Register for the
Paper-Based General Test.
Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Register early to get your preferred test date, and to receive your
test preparation material in time to prepare for the test.

Register for the GRE Search Service
Don't miss this FREE opportunity to hear from graduate schools that
are searching for students like you. The GRE Search Service matches
prospective graduate students with participating graduate schools
and fellowship sponsors. If you match the recruitment profile of a
participating institution/organization, you may be sent information
about graduate programs, admission requirements, financial aid
opportunities, fellowships, and other graduate education
opportunities.
You will automatically be included in the Search Service when you
register for a GRE test unless you indicate otherwise. Anyone
considering graduate study may also register for the GRE Search
Service. To register for the GRE Search Service only, use the online
GRE registration form.
Important Things to Remember When Registering
-
Register early. Test centers fill up quickly.
-
Take the test as soon as possible so your scores will be
received by the college or university of your choice in time to
be considered with your application.
-
When registering, be sure that the spelling of your name matches
the name printed on the identification document(s) you will
present at the test center. If this information does not match,
you will not be permitted to test and your test fee will be
forfeited. See Identification Requirements.
-
Information regarding test center availability is subject to
change. The most current information regarding test centers,
dates, and other registration information is available in the
GRE online registration system for the computer-based General
Test and the paper-based General Test. Although you will be
asked to select a desired test date and test center during the
registration process, your testing information will not be
confirmed until your registration has been processed. You should
receive your admission ticket about three weeks after you
register. If you do not receive your admission ticket at least
10 days before the test date, please contact ETS immediately to
confirm your test center assignment.
Repeating the General Test
-
Data on the General Test shows that repeaters on average show a
slight score gain. However, this finding is tempered by the
observation that repeaters are typically a self-selected group
who believe that repeating the test will increase their scores.
-
Unless your scores seem unusually low compared with other
indicators of your ability, taking a GRE test again is not
likely to result in a substantial score increase. In fact, there
is some chance that your scores may drop.
-
You may take the General Test (computer-based and/or
paper-based) only once per calendar month and no more than 5
times within any 12-month period. This applies even if you
canceled your scores on a test taken previously.
