GRE Exam Results 2025: The GRE Exam Results 2025 are generally released within 8 to 10 days after candidates take the test. Candidates will get an email from ETS when their official scores are ready. To check and download the GRE results, test takers need to log in to their ETS account using their credentials.
After candidates receive their GRE results, they can send their scores to the universities or colleges where they want to apply. GRE scores are valid for five years, so candidates can use them for future applications as well. Once test takers have their results, the next steps include shortlisting universities, preparing their application documents, and applying to the programs that require GRE scores.
The GRE Exam Results Date for 2025 does not have fixed calendar dates because the GRE is a computer-based test offered throughout the year. The GRE General Test scores will be available in the candidate's ETS account 8 to 10 days after the test date. For the GRE Subject Tests, results are released after the specific test window ends.
The GRE score calculation is based on candidates' performance in the Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing sections. The Verbal and Quantitative sections are scored on a scale of 130-170, in 1-point increments, while the Analytical Writing section is scored on a scale of 0-6. The total GRE score is the sum of their scaled scores from Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning (out of 340), plus their Analytical Writing score.

GRE Exam 2025 Score Validity
GRE exam scores are valid for five years from the date the candidate takes the GRE test. For example, if you take the GRE on 3 July 2025, your scores will be valid until 2 July 2030. During this five-year period, candidates can use their GRE scores to apply to universities and graduate programs. After five years, these scores will expire and will no longer be accessible or accepted by institutions.
Candidates have two options to send their GRE scores to universities, including the On Test Day and After Test Day options. After completing the GRE, candidates can select up to four universities or fellowship sponsors to receive their scores for free as part of the test fee. The candidate will be prompted to designate these score recipients immediately after viewing their unofficial verbal and quantitative scores on test day. They can choose to send either the most recent scores or all scores from the past five years using the ScoreSelect option.
Alternatively, if the candidate wishes to send their GRE scores to more than four institutions or after the test day, they must order Additional Score Reports (ASRs) through their ETS account. Each additional report will cost them about INR 2,900–2,938 per institution.
Here are the steps to send scores after test day:
Step 1: Log in to your ETS account.
Step 2: Go to the "My GRE Home" page.
Step 3: Select "Send Additional Score Reports" under the Scores tab.
Step 4: Search for and select the institutions you want to send your scores to.
Step 5: Choose which scores to send (most recent, all, or any specific test administration from the last five years).
Step 6: Review your order, enter payment information, and submit.
