How to Change a GRE Test Date

Many colleges and universities request exam scores from the Graduate Record Exam or GRE when you apply to graduate school. This exam measures "verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills" according to Educational Testing Service, the GRE administrators. You can take the GRE as a computer- or paper-based exam at various locations in the United States and around the world. If you need to change a GRE test date, you must have your request in three days prior to your exam date and are subject to a rescheduling fee.
