Administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), the GRE General Test is available year-round at more than 1,000 test centers abroad, or even from home via the GRE at Home option, as long as you meet technical requirements like a quiet space and stable internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Register<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The process is straightforward and mirrors U.S. registration for most locations. Create an account on the ETS website (ets.org\/gre), select your preferred test date and center, and pay the $220 fee (as of 2025; confirm for your region). Book early seats fill quickly outside the U.S., especially in high-demand areas like Europe or Asia. If you&#8217;re a non-citizen testing abroad (e.g., on a tourist visa), it&#8217;s permitted; just bring your passport for ID verification instead of a national ID. One exception: In mainland China, register via the National Education Examinations Authority (NEEA) due to local regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test Formats and Availability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The computer-delivered GRE lasts about 2 hours and covers verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. Subject Tests (paper-based) are offered three times a year at select centers. Not every city has a center use ETS&#8217;s locator tool to find the nearest one, from major hubs like London, Toronto, or Sydney to smaller spots in Latin America or Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Take It Abroad?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GRE scores are accepted by thousands of programs beyond the U.S., including top universities in the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, and Singapore. Even if not required, a strong score (aim for 300+ combined) can boost your application, especially for competitive fields like engineering or business. Scores are valid for five years and sent to schools in 8-10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Success<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare with ETS&#8217;s free practice tests. If English isn&#8217;t your first language, pair it with TOEFL\/IELTS if needed for non-U.S. schools. Accommodations for disabilities are available\u2014request them during registration. For the latest details, visit ets.org\/gre or contact ETS support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the GRE internationally opens doors to global education. With planning, it&#8217;s a seamless step toward your grad school goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","faq-categories":[],"class_list":["post-1893","faqs","type-faqs","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Can You Take the GRE Outside the US?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Take the GRE outside the US in over 160 countries at 1,000+ test centers or via GRE at Home.
