If I take the GRE more than once, which score will be considered by the universities?

Modified on Mon, 23 Dec at 7:28 AM

it’s natural to wonder how universities evaluate your scores. The good news is that the GRE offers a flexible approach that puts you in control of which scores are shared.


Which Scores Are Considered by Universities?

With the GRE’s ScoreSelect Option, you have the power to decide which test scores to send to universities. Universities will only see the scores you choose to share.


How Does the ScoreSelect Option Work?

  • Send Your Best Scores: After taking the GRE, you can select the scores that best represent your performance for each university application.
  • Complete Privacy: Other scores from your past attempts remain confidential unless you choose to share them.


The ScoreSelect option is designed to empower you to put your best foot forward, giving you the confidence to take the GRE multiple times if needed
