Be sure to register early for your GRE exam so that there is enough time to process any necessary paperwork, and so that you can take the exam at the center of your choice and at your desired time and date. You can register late by paying a fee of $25. However, be sure to take the exam at a date which will enable ETS to send your score report to the school(s) of your choice before the school application deadline. When you register for the GRE, make double sure that you print and provide your name EXACTLY as it appears on your identification document(s).
