How to Request GRE Scores by Mail

The general Graduate Record Examination, or GRE, is a standardized test which assesses an individual's verbal and quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills. Most graduate programs require potential students to complete this exam as part of the school's admissions process. GRE score reports can be ordered from the non-profit agency, Educational Testing Service, or ETS. In addition to conducting educational research and analysis, ETS develops, administers and scores a variety of assessments, including the GRE. If you've misplaced your GRE scores or need a duplicate copy, requesting your scores by mail is easy.
