shape Introduction

The GRE General Test is available at more than 1,000 test centers in more than 160 countries. It is offered as a computer-delivered test year-round at most locations around the world and as a paper-delivered test up to three times a year in areas where computer-delivered testing is not available.

  • When selecting a test date, make sure the scores will be reported in time for the application deadlines. For computer-delivered tests, scores reports are sent to designated score recipients approximately 10–15 days after the test date.
