What is the GRE?

The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required for applicants to many graduate-level programs in the United States and at international universities. The GRE is made up of the General Test, composed of verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections, and of Subject Tests on specific academic fields. Some universities require only the General Test while others will request applicants to take Subject Tests related to their planned area of study. The GRE bulletin has additional information on these tests.

Where do I get the GRE Bulletin?

Information on the exam content and registration procedures is also available on the GRE Web site.AMIDEAST maintains a supply of test bulletins with all pertinent information about the GRE, including the registration form.

Where can I take the GRE?

After that time it will be administered in a paper-based format, generally once or twice during the year. Please contact AMIDEAST/Rabat for dates and be sure to register well in advance.

What about my scores?

Unofficial scores appear on the computer screen following the test. Your official scores will be mailed from the United States about two weeks after the test. Please allow time for them to arrive by international mail.

• Questions about any missing score reports should be directed to Educational Testing Service, the nonprofit organization that scores GRE and issues score reports. An e-mail sent to the ETS customer service addressgre-info@ets.orgusually will receive a response in 5 to 7 days. Score report problems are best avoided by careful preparation of the registration form: writing name and mailing address clearly and following payment procedures outlined in test bulletins.
• If you need score reports to be sent to additional institutions, please complete the form in the GRE bulletin and return it with payment to ETS. If paying by credit card, you may also call ETS at (609) 771-7290 or send a fax to (609) 771-7906 to order additional score reports. Scores are valid for five years.
