GRE TEST - New Important Policies

Please be informed that there is two important policy changes in the areas of score reporting and retaking the test.  The new Score Select option will be available, starting in July 2012, for both the GRE General Test and GRE Subject Tests, and can be used by anyone with reportable scores from the last five years. The new Score Select option lets you decide which GRE scores from your reportable history to send to the Universities. Now you can send the scores that you feel reflect your personal best.

First Important Policy

On test day, when viewing your scores at the test center  you can select the:

• Score Select Most Recent option — Send your scores from your current test administration (FREE).
• Score Select All option — Send your scores from all test administrations in the last five years (FREE).

You can decide which option to use for each of your four free score reports.

After test day, you can send Additional Score Reports for a fee by selecting from the following:

• Score Select Most Recent option — Send your scores from your most recent test administration.
• Score Select All option — Send your scores from all test administrations in the last five years.
• Score Select Any option — Send your scores from one OR many test administrations in the last five years.

Scores for a test administration must be reported in their entirety. Regardless of whether you choose the Most Recent, All or Any option, you will select specific test administration dates so your scores are all from the same testing session. Institutions will receive score reports that show only the scores that you selected to send to them. There will be no special indication if you have taken additional GRE tests.

Second Important Policy 

Starting July 1, 2012, the policy for retaking a test will also be updated. You will be able to take the GRE revised General Test once every 30 days, and up to five times within any continuous rolling 12-month period.
