You can take the GRE at 1 of 700 test centers.1 That number includes centers in the U.S. and abroad. The computer-based test is the most popular version of the exam. It is offered throughout the year at the majority of the test centers. The paper-based test is offered in regions where the computer-based test cannot be administered. Those test centers can only offer the test up to 3 times per year. In the U.S. many of these centers include colleges and universities.
In order to sign up, you'll need to create a "MyGRE Account." Make sure that the name you use on that account matches the name on your identification documents.
