  • Students planning to take any of the graduate admission tests should read the information bulletins carefully. The GRE Bulletin stresses that you:
    • Find out from graduate school and fellowship agencies the score-reporting deadlines you will have to meet. These may be earlier than your application deadlines. Take the test required at least two months before your earliest score-reporting deadline.
    • Register early. The longer you wait to register, the less likely it is that you will be assigned to the test center you specify.
