Arrival Time of GRE Scores

[architect87]

Hello guys,

 

I registered to take the GRE General on the 7th of November... You know, most schools application deadlines are 15th of December or January...

 

So on the exam day, if I choose to send my scores to the schools, how long does it take for them to arrive? And is it OK to do that even before I send my other applications documents?

 

Please help me, otherwise I am planning to change my exam date, which will be horrible because it will cost an additional $50 :/ And I've never taken GRE and I need to study... Thanks in advance.

Scores take a week or two to arrive. You can always send parts earlier than others, and in fact it's recommended. If you can get in all of your materials well before the deadline you'll be better off. Your test date should be fine, but you won't have an opportunity to retake.

I had this same problem. I had registered for late October. The scores will probably arrive on time, but I decided to play it very safe and rescheduled for September.
