Worried: "Absent or not available"

[sindyburnburn]

Hi everyone, 

 

I took the GRE november 14th and I sent my scores to schools at the test center. I know it's only been 5 days, but it still says "Absent or not available" on the website. Does my score show up only after they've graded my essays? Should I be worried? Will my scores be sent to schools in time for the Dec 1st deadline?

 

Many thanks!

I would think that on ETS your official scores won't be available until your essays have been graded.  I feel like it will take maybe 1-2 weeks to get your official scores.  I think you will have the official scores prior to December 1st since ETS is pretty quick in the turnaround time of these items.  However it is a busy time, it may even take your school's a little bit until after December 1st to update that they have received the scores.

In my experience, this is correct. My scores only showed up in ETS after the AWA grading was done, which was exactly 7 days after the test date.

The latest time I took the GRE, it took 8 days for the scores to show up online, and all 3 sections were posted at the same time. I believe it was the same for the first time. However, I'm not sure how long it takes for the schools to receive them!
