GRE Scores

If you have canceled your scores and would like to reinstate them, you can send a reinstatement request to ETS within 60 days after your test date. You can mail or fax a completed Score Reinstatement Form (PDF) along with payment to ETS. Fill out the form with your name, daytime phone number, registration number, birth date, and test date.

The form also allows you to select up to four score recipients at no additional cost. You need to specify the appropriate department codes (PDF) and indicate the scores you want to be sent. The ScoreSelect® option allows you to choose and send Subject Test scores from either the most recent test report or choose from the administrations over the last five years. It is advisable to select four score recipients while filling the form, or else you would have to pay a fee of US$27 per recipient to have the scores sent later.

Reinstated scores will be reported on the estimated score report mailing date for the Subject Test. These scores will be accessible in your ETS Account and sent to your chosen score recipients shortly after.

You can select up to four fellowship sponsors or graduate institutions to send out your scores on your test day (as part of your test fee). However, suppose you wish to send out your GRE® General Test scores at a later date or to more institutions. You may do so by ordering Additional Score Reports for a fee.

The ScoreSelect® Opportunity

With the option of ScoreSelect®, you can choose what test scores you want to send to your designated institutions. In addition, this option empowers you to select scores that highlight your personal best, making you more confident on the actual test day.

On the test day, you can opt to withhold your scores (and not send them instantly at the test center after viewing them), OR you can opt for either of the two options for four of your FREE score reports:

• Most Recent — Send your current test administration scores.
• All — Send all the valid and reportable scores of your GRE®Test administrations in the last five years.

After test day, you can send your score reports for a fee and choose what report(s) to send from the following options:

• Most Recent — Send your latest test administration scores.
• All — Send valid and reportable scores from all the GRE®Test administrations.
• Any — Send valid and reportable scores from one or all of the GRE®Test administrations taken in the previous five years.

How Long Are Scores Reportable?

Your GRE® General Test scores are valid till five years after your test date. For instance, scores for a test taken on September 30, 2022, are reportable until August 1, 2027.

You can order Additional Score Reports for a fee of US$27 (per designated recipient) at any point during the five years.

Please note that processing requests to send your GRE scores to any recipient take roughly five business days. Thus, use your discretion to allow some buffer time to process your request—especially when your scores are nearing the expiration date else your scores may not be sent.

If Your Name Has Changed

ETS processes legal name changes of test takers provided you submit the appropriate documents for such requests. If your legal name has changed after taking the test and you need to send scores with the changed name, contact GRE Services for assistance.
