Commonly asked questions about the GRE:
How do I register for the GRE?
The GRE is administered by the Educational Testing Program. You can register:
By phone. Call 1-800-GRE-CALL and be sure to have either a Visa, Mastercard or American Express card handy. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis. For disability services call 1-609-771-7780. The TTY number is 1-609-771-7714.
By mail. You can obtain a registration packet from GRE, Educational Testing Service, PO Box 6000, Princeton, NJ 08541.
Online. Online registration for the computer-based tests is not currently available. Online registration for the Subject Test is available at www.gre.org.
The GRE Information and Registration Bulletin is available to be downloaded in Acrobat PDF format from www.ets.org. You can also order one online if you would prefer to be sent one by regular mail. The Registration Bulletin is sometimes available from graduate admissions offices.
How much does the GRE cost?
The current (1999) test fees are as follows:
For citizens of the US, US Territories and Puerto Rico the General Test is $99, the Writing Assessment is $50 and each Subject Test is $130.
For citizens of all other locations the General Test is $125, the Writing Assessment is $60 and each Subject Test is $150.
Rescheduling costs an extra $40
Payment can be made by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), check (payable to ETS-GRE and drawn on a US bank), money order, bank draft, US traveler’s check, US postal money order, UNESCO coupons or Eurochecks.
A limited number of fee waivers are available to US prospective graduate students who cannot afford the GRE test fees. A fee waiver can be used for one General Test and/or one Subject Test and/or one Writing Assessment. Contact your financial aid office to see if you qualify.
When is the GRE CAT given?
The test is given year-round, during normal business hours. Weekends are also available in many locations. Although you can register as late as the day before the test, spaces do fill up so try to register a couple of weeks beforehand.
How many times should I take the GRE?
You can take the test as many times as you like but graduate school admissions offices will average your scores. Bearing this in mind, it is better to prepare thoroughly for one test and give it your best shot.
