GRE Score Receiving
There are two questions that bug a test-taker day and night, firstly when the GRE scores will be received, and secondly when the schools will receive these?
The test-takers will receive their scores within 10 – 15 days following their test date. Now, whether the schools will also be able to receive the GRE score reports at the same time is the question. Generally, the schools avail two services: ETS Data Manager Portal and an automated server-to-server feed. Now, ETS Data Manager Portal sends across the scores two times a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays while the automated service is directly linked and sends the score in real-time.
Therefore, if the respective school has an automated service then they can also view the GRE score reports. ETS also offers additional score report promo code that enables organizations to pay the fees on behalf of certain students.
