How to Register for the GRE Exam in Ontario

People of all ages take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test, which is required to get into a majority of graduate programs, business schools, and occasionally, to receive scholarship money. Registering for the GRE has become mostly an online procedure, but applicants are still able to register over the phone and by mail as well. You can register for the paper or computer GRE, but fewer dates are available for the paper test. It is also administered with a different method, as the computer decides whether your questions get easier or harder, based on your previous responses.
