Accessing GRE Scores

To access your GRE scores, even if you have taken the exam several years ago, you can follow a few simple steps. The Educational Testing Service (ETS), the organization that administers the GRE, provides multiple options for test-takers to access their scores and official score reports. Here is a detailed explanation of how you can access your GRE scores:

1. Online Account
- Visit the official ETS website and create an online account if you don't already have one.
- Log in to your account using your username and password.

2. Score Reporting
- Once you are logged in, you will be able to view your GRE scores in the "Scores" section of your account.
- If you have taken the GRE multiple times, all your scores will be displayed, including the scores from several years ago.

3. Score Reporting History
- In addition to accessing your scores, you can also view your score reporting history, which includes a list of institutions or organizations that have received your official score reports.
- This feature can be helpful if you need to verify where your scores were sent in the past.

4. Sending Official Score Reports
- If you need to send official score reports to institutions or organizations, you can do so through your online account.
- ETS allows you to send up to four score reports for free within ten days of taking the test. After that period, a fee is required for each additional score report.

5. Score Validity
- It's important to note that GRE scores are valid for five years from the test date.
- Therefore, if you took the exam several years ago, you can still access and use your scores for admissions or other purposes as long as they are within the five-year validity period.

By following these steps, you can easily access your GRE scores, regardless of when you took the exam. It is essential to keep your online account information secure to ensure the privacy of your scores and personal data.
