FAQs

Q. Can I take the GRE General and the GRE Subject Test?

Ans. The GRE Subject Tests are discontinued in India. However, you can certainly take the GRE General Test. This version is more commonly required for various graduate programs. You can register for the GRE General test on the official website of ETS and select your preferred date and centre to get going. Also, note that the GRE is available in an at-home version.

Q. What is the deadline for cancelling the GRE test?

Ans. The deadline for cancelling your GRE test will depend on the test centre's policies and the specific test administration date. ETS recommends that you try to cancel your test appointment at least four days before your original test date to be eligible for a partial refund. However, it is crucial to check the official GRE website for the most up-to-date information on cancellation deadlines.

Q. Is there a fee for cancelling the GRE test?

Ans. Yes, a fee for cancelling your GRE test may vary depending on how far in advance you cancel. If you cancel your test well before the test date, you may be eligible for a partial refund of the test fee. However, if you cancel closer to the test date, you may not be eligible for any refund. The specific cancellation fee and refund policy are on the official GRE website.

Q. How can I register for the GRE at Home?

Ans. To register for the GRE at Home, visit the official GRE website and create an ETS account. During registration, you will select the option for the GRE at Home if it's available in your location. Registration steps and fees are similar to the traditional GRE General Test.

Q. What is the test format for the GRE at Home?

Ans. The test format for GRE at Home is the same as the regular GRE General Test. It includes sections on Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. The test duration and the number of sections are the same as the regular test.

Q. What are the benefits of taking the GRE at Home?

Ans. The main benefit of GRE at Home is its convenience and flexibility. Test-takers can avoid travelling to a physical test centre and taking the exam from the comfort of their homes. It benefits individuals with limited access to test centres or those concerned about in-person testing during the pandemic.

Q. Can I reschedule or cancel my GRE at-home appointment?

Ans. You can reschedule or cancel your GRE at Home appointment following the same procedures as the traditional GRE General Test. You can do this through your ETS account on the official GRE website. Depending on how far in advance you make the changes, there might be specific rescheduling or cancellation fees. Always refer to the official GRE website for the most up-to-date information on rescheduling and cancellation policies.

Q. In which month should I take the GRE?

Ans. You should take the GRE at least 2-3 months before your application starts. Typically, many GRE aspirants do it as early as one year before their intake, allowing plenty of time for preparation and deciding if your scores are good enough for an application. In case you’re unhappy with the scores, you can always retake the GRE! This will give you plenty of time to apply. The GRE score is valid for five years.

Q. Can I take the GRE more than once, and how often can I retake the test?

Ans. Yes, you can take the GRE multiple times. There is no limit to how many times you can retake the GRE. However, there are certain restrictions you should be aware of. You must wait at least 21 days between each attempt, and you are allowed to take the GRE a maximum of five times within any continuous rolling 12-month period. It is essential to plan your retakes strategically, allowing enough time for focused preparation between attempts.

Q. Is there any additional fee for registering late for the GRE?

Ans. Yes, additional fee for late registration for the GRE General Test. To avoid late fees, it is advisable to register early and secure your preferred test date and centre. Late registration typically ends approximately one week before the test date, so plan your registration accordingly to avoid incurring extra costs.
