It is your responsibility to ensure that your ID documents are up to date and available on the day of the test. Your ID requirements depend on your country of citizenship and where you plan to test. See ID Requirements. If you do not bring valid and acceptable ID, or if the first and last name on your ID does not exactly match the first and last name on your registration excluding accents , you will not be permitted to test and your test fee will not be refunded. Valid and acceptable identification.
See below for more information. Your confirmation email. After your registration has been processed, you will receive a confirmation email from ETS that confirms your test choice, test date, test center and score recipients.
Three or four sharpened No. Anyone whose local test centers are closed can take the GRE at home. If you meet the requirements and feel you have completed or will soon complete your GRE prep, then taking the at-home test may be a good idea. Once local test centers reopen, it is likely that testing appointments will be in short supply. In addition, remember that late summer and early fall are the busiest times for GRE testing, so that trend could also make finding an appointment more difficult.
The at-home test is also a great option for you if you worry that you could be distracted or bothered by features of the testing center, such as noises from other test takers or fluorescent lights. You can even wear pajama bottoms—but wear an appropriate top because your photo will be sent to schools!
That being said, schools will see a photo of you taken during check-in, so they will likely infer that you took the test at home.
For the in-person test, we generally recommend registering about a month in advance because testing centers have a limited number of appointments available.
Having a testing date on the calendar is also helpful for planning your GRE prep. Here is a link to the registration information from GRE. Then be sure to select the option to test at home.
The GRE fee is the same as it is for the in-person test. After you have registered and paid, wait until you receive an email from ProctorU. That will allow you to choose your date and time. Do not make a ProctorU account until you receive this email. The email will provide a username and password for you to use. Be sure to add your appointment to your calendar, as you will not receive a reminder email on or just before test day.
At present, you need to call ETS to switch to the at-home test. If your in-person test has been canceled and you have been issued a refund, however, you can go ahead and register for the at-home GRE through the GRE website.
First, consider whether there is anything you can do to meet those requirements. For instance, can you borrow a Windows computer or purchase a camera or whiteboard? Do not register for the at-home GRE if you do not have the proper supplies or cannot meet the requirements.
Accommodations of extended time, extra breaks, screen magnification and selectable colors can be requested in your ETS account.
Before your start time, be sure that your workspace is clear and that you have your whiteboard, markers, eraser, and ID ready to go. It is OK if you have shelves above your desk with items, but the desk area itself needs to be clear of any unapproved items. You also need to close all other programs on your computer, and turn off any kind of notifications. Make sure you are using Chrome to go to the ProctorU website. At your scheduled time, the check-in process will begin. Check-in should only take about ten minutes.
Then, you must agree to allow your session to be recorded, and the software takes your photo as well as a photo of your ID. Next, you are matched with a proctor, a fact that you are told in a chat window. You do not hear or see the proctor, but the proctor is able to hear and see you throughout the entire test. The proctor lets you know in the chat box what you need to do. Then the proctor will ask to see your cell phone and show it is off and that you are putting it somewhere you cannot reach it.
Next, the proctor will take control of your computer screen, download the ETS software, and enter a code to log you in to your test session. One thing to note is that the test will be full-screen. Once you start the test, it is the same as the in-person test—just on your home computer. The instructions have not been updated, so you do see some instructions that are not pertinent, such as telling you to raise your hand if you need help.
You may not leave the room except during the ten-minute break. The proctor will instruct you to erase your whiteboard and show both sides to the camera. Then, the proctor will let you know that you are finished, and you will be asked to complete a brief survey about your ProctorU experience. Yes, the proctor will watch you via your camera during the test, and your testing video will be recorded. The proctor will also be able to see what you are doing on the screen.
The proctor will be able to hear you, but in general your communications will occur through the ProctorU chat window. GRE has not provided a maximum for the number of markers, but we recommend keeping three or four markers on your desk. Make sure they work before your test begins! Different colors are allowed.
That is a benefit of the online test—multiple colors will come in handy on geometry questions. You can only use one small whiteboard. Check out our upcoming courses here.
Check the guidelines to determine what kind of ID you must bring. But wait! A note on that locker: everything goes in, including your wallet or purse, your money, your mobile phone, your keys.
Do not bring any study notes into the test center with you; your test will be cancelled immediately even if you simply leave these in your locker! The official website does not specify a precise number of pages; I was given 5 sheets the last time I took the test. If you use up the paper, raise your hand and a proctor will come to see what you need.
He or she will give you new paper and take away the used sheets. You have to use all of the given sheets before you can request fresh scrap paper. During the test, you will have one minute break after the third section, during which you can leave the testing room.
Try to plan your scrap paper usage so that you can ask for more at the end of a section, when you have a short break. If you need more, raise your hand and the proctor will bring you more. Other people will be in the testing room with you, and they will not be on the same schedule as you.
People will be entering, exiting, and moving around the room, so expect these minor disruptions. Your little section will have short walls that rise up a couple of feet from the desk—sort of a mini-cubicle.
