When
is the GRE exam given?
The test is given nearly year-round during the first three
weeks of a month.
How
important is the GRE test and how is it used?
It is crucial! Although graduate schools may consider other
factors,the vast majority of admission decisions are based
on only two criteria: your GRE score and your GPA.
How
many times should I take the GRE exam?
Most people are better off preparing thoroughly for the test,
taking it one time and getting their top score. You can take
the test as often as you like, but many graduate schools will
average your scores. You should call the schools to which
you are applying to find out their policy. Then plan your
strategy accordingly.
Can
I cancel my score?
Yes. You can cancel your score immediately after the test
but before you see your score. You can take the test only
once a month.
Where
can I get the registration forms?
Most colleges and universities have the forms. You can also
get them directly from ETS by writing to:
