Scores are valid for the 5 testing years following the testing year in which you tested.
All scores earned during this time will be reported to each institution you designate. You may choose to send only General Test scores, only Subject Test scores, only Analytical Writing or Writing Assessment scores, or any combination of the above, but you may not choose to have only those scores from a specific test date reported. Your score report will indicate your designated recipients and your cumulative record reported at that time. However, your designated recipients will not receive information concerning the other score recipients you have chosen. There is no additional charge for reporting older scores to institutions.
It is a GRE Board policy that your scores be reported only to you, to accredited institutions of higher education granting the baccalaureate or higher degrees, and to approved graduate fellowship-granting sponsors. Score reports will be released only upon your request. ETS will not release your scores at the request of institutions or fellow-ship sponsors except for use in research studies that are approved by the GRE Board and that provide anonymity for the test takers and the institutions they attend.
Note: Your score record and the documents you completed that are retained at ETS may be released to third parties, e.g., government agencies, parties to a lawsuit, if requested pursuant to a subpoena.
