How to Register for the GRE

Registering for the GRE Revised General Test is fairly straightforward. Although you can register by mail or over the telephone, the easiest way to register for the test is online at the GRE website. The registration fee is most easily paid by credit card, although the test maker will also accept money orders, certified checks, and personal checks. Please visit the test maker’s website for the current fee.

An important note about registering for the GRE: you may only take the test once every 60 days, up to 5 times per 12 month period. But be aware that taking the GRE several times and hoping to get lucky is a very bad idea, as many graduate programs take the average of all your scores, and not the top score. Therefore, you are much better off being very well prepared before taking the test, taking the test only once and achieving a high score.
