A test-center GRE is less about software setup and more about matching ID, arriving early, following security procedures, and making score decisions correctly.
ETS lists GRE test-center delivery at more than 1,000 ETS-authorized centers in 160+ countries.
ETS says to arrive at least 30 minutes before the appointment to allow time for check-in.
The ID presented at the test center must match the registration name, excluding accents.
At the end of the test, candidates choose whether to report or cancel scores and may designate up to four recipients as part of the test fee.
Even when a GRE appointment is associated with a Prometric test center, ETS publishes the GRE policies candidates must follow. Candidates should use their ETS account, GRE confirmation, and the official GRE Bulletin as the authority for name matching, arrival, score reporting, and retake decisions.
ETS describes photo capture, ID verification, possible visual inspections, metal-detector checks, voice sample collection, eyeglass inspection, and a required confidentiality statement. Candidates who know this workflow are less likely to bring prohibited items or lose time at the desk.
At the end of the GRE General Test, candidates decide whether to report or cancel scores. If reporting, they can view unofficial Verbal and Quantitative scores and select score recipients and ScoreSelect options before leaving the appointment.
