All you have to do now is register for the GRE exam, and make sure you have the necessary setup and an internet connection to take the test. Candidates who wish to take the GRE test at a test center must ensure that the test center has available slots and that the test is scheduled in accordance with COVID-19 safety rules.

As a result, your GRE exam dates will be spread out across the year, as the exam is administered on most days of the year. Candidates should schedule their first GRE exam 30-45 days before their application deadline, according to experts.

The next most often asked question is, "How many times can I take the GRE test?" Candidates should be aware that they can take the test once every 21 days for a total of five times in a rolling 12-month period. This is true even if you have already cancelled your test scores.

After you've finished the GRE, you'll have the choice of reporting or cancelling your results. You'll be able to get an unofficial score report for the Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning sections immediately after completing the exam if you want to report your results. You may now transmit your most recent GRE scores or GRE scores from a prior exam day to the universities you've chosen. You can also choose not to give your scores if you are displeased with them. The cost of your GRE includes four score reports. 

After test day, for a charge of $27 per score report, you can send any extra score reports. Your grades are valid for five years. After you take the GRE, you'll get an email with your official test scores, including the analytical writing score, within 10-15 days. Your official test results will be forwarded to the schools you specified on test day at this point (or, if you took the paper version of the GRE, that you indicated during registration).
