When is the latest I can take the GRE?

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I have just now decided to go to graduate school and will be applying to EE grad programs for Fall 2013. I may have a heavy course load this quarter so study time for the GRE is limited. I would like to take the GRE as late as possible so I can do well both in school and have adequate time to study for this important exam. The earliest deadline for all of the grad programs that I will be applying to is December 15th.</p>

<p>I read that it takes 10-15 days for the GRE scores to be sent out for the computer test.</p>

<p>Would it be safe for me to schedule the test for November 16th? When is the latest safest time I can take the GRE so that the scores will be sent to the grad programs in time?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.
And sorry if this has been covered....</p>
