When to retake GRE General in Nov?

[a fragrant plant]

Dear all, I'm wondering if the score will reach the Dec 15 deadline in time if I take it in November 9, 2009?

I don't know. I am planning to take mine November 22 for a Dec 15 deadline, but since you are international, I wonder if it will take longer.

Hey there, I'm not sure if this helps, but last year I took the test on November 21st for a January 4 deadline and I had no problem getting the scores in on time. I was living in Canada so I was a bit worried about leaving it last minute-ish, and when I called the office of the school I was applying for they said it would be tight. But I didn't end up having any difficulties.

also, schools will still accept incoming information from ets after the deadline. usually you report your scores unofficially, and the official scores are only looked at farther down (i.e., later) in the process. i might take the GREs as late as december 2nd for december 2nd deadlines.=, and im not worried.
