GRE® Subject Test
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.
Subject Tests currently available include
the following:
Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology
Biology
Chemistry
Computer Science
Literature in English
Mathematics
Physics
Psychology
The GRE bulletin and GRE
Web site have additional details on
these tests.
AMIDEAST maintains a supply of test bulletins
with all pertinent information about the
GRE, including the registration form.
The test bulletin is also available on-line.
The GRE Subject Tests are administered
in a paper-based format, three times per
year, at an assigned test center. (A few
of the tests are not offered at all administrations.)
Advance registration is required.
Students register for the GRE Subject
Tests directly with the Educational Testing
Service by mail or at the GRE
Web site.
It is important for you to be familiar

Arrive at the test center at the time designated

take time. If you arrive late, you may not
be admitted to the test, and you will forfeit
your test fees.
Bring photobearing identification, as described in the GRE registration bulletin.
Bring your test confirmation information.
Your official scores will be mailed from
the United States about six 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
develops GRE and issues score reports.
An e-mail sent to the ETS customer service
addressgre-info@ets.orgusually
will receive a response in five to seven
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.
