What is the latest date to take the GRE?

<p>I'm taking the GRE this Friday, and I'm getting worried about not doing well on it. I will probably have to retake it in November so I wanted to know approximately how late can I take it so it gets to the schools by Dec. 15.</p>

<p>They take about 2 weeks to send score reports (I’m assuming you’re talking about computer-based). So I wouldn’t take it any later than mid-November to be perfectly safe, but other than that you should be fine. Even the end of November is probably alright.</p>

<p>Check the individual websites. Schools with December 15 and earlier deadlines usually say that GREs should be taken by the end of October. But you should check with your intended programs.</p>

<p>Yes, I am taking the computer-based exam. Depending on Friday’s result, I will retake it in mid-November.</p>

<p>Only one program has recommended to take it by Nov. 1. The others don’t mention a specific date.</p>

<p>So far I’ve scored in less than 750Q, and less than 500V using the Powerprep software from ETS. I am applying for engineering PhD programs, BTW.</p>
