Can I retake the GRE? How many times can I take the test?

Yes! You can retake the GRE. The official GRE rules allow you to take the test once every 3 weeks and a maximum of 5 times within a one-year period.

For each time that you take the GRE, you must pay the registration fee and schedule your test dates. However, you do NOT need to create a new ETS Account every time.

While most schools and universities say that there is no limit on how many times you appear for the GRE, it is not advisable to appear for the test more than 2 or 3 times. The reason being that there will be a peak that each student reaches with regards to preparing for and taking the GRE.

What is more advisable is to take multiple mock tests while preparing for the GRE. This will help prepare you both mentally and physically for the actual test and can help make you comfortable with the format of the test. This in turn will help you assess what score you are likely to get when you sit for the GRE. Based on this, you can then decide when to book your exam.
