Students can choose their GRE score

Updated on: Monday, April 30, 2012

Following the successful introduction of the GRE revised General Test; the GRE programme is now introducing the ScoreSelect option to improve its test-taker friendly platform. With the ScoreSelect option, GRE test takers can decide which test scores to send to the institutions. They can now send the scores which they feel reflect their best performance.

The ScoreSelect option will be available from July 2012. It is built on the momentum that started with the 2011 launch of the test-taker friendly GRE revised General Test, to which test takers worldwide responded to with great enthusiasm. James Wimbush, dean of the University Graduate School and professor of Business Administration, Indiana University, and 2011–2012 GRE board chair said, “The ScoreSelect option focuses on helping test takers succeed on the road to an advanced degree because they can approach test day with more confidence.” 

David Payne, vice president and chief operating officer of the Higher Education Division at ETS, said, “Adding enhancements, like the new ScoreSelect option, to our test-taker friendly platform helps people feel good about making a move towards graduate and business schools, and that is what is most exciting about this announcement,” said

On the test day, when viewing their scores at the test center, they can select the ScoreSelect- most recent option or ScoreSelect- all option. Test takers can decide which option to use for each of their four free score reports.

After the test day, test takers can send additional score reports for a fee and select ScoreSelect- most recent option or ScoreSelect- all option or ScoreSelect- any option. Scores for a test administration must be reported in their entirety.

Michael Sullivan, executive director, STEM, Hispanic Research Center, Arizona State University, averred “The ScoreSelect option for the GRE tests is an extension of ETS’s long-standing strong commitment to enable even more individuals to take the next step towards graduate or business schools and give them invaluable additional opportunities for their future.” 

The new ScoreSelect option will be available for both the GRE revised General Test and GRE Subject Tests, and can be used by anyone with reportable scores from the last five years. For more information log on to www.ets.org/gre.
