FAQ about GRE |
| Q1：Is my Japanese driver's license all right to take GRE? |
| A1. You cannot take the test only with the ID. You are required to bring additional ID as a secondary ID. In this case, “Confirmation of Identity Letter” issued at the educational institutions or "Your school ID" with a photo and signature will be required. |
| Q2：Can I use my credit card with my photo as the required ID? |
| A2. No, you can't. |
| Q3：What should I do if I need to cancel or reschedule my test appointment after the designated deadline? |
| A3. Your test fee will not be refunded. But you are allowed to schedule another appointment within the month if you pay the test fee once again. |
| Q4：After the test is over, can I cancel my score? |
| A4. You are able to view your score after the test and have an option to either view or cancel. Once you choose the option of "cancel", your score will never be reported or mailed to you. If you choose the option of “view”, you are not allowed to cancel your score. |
| Q5：How long will it take before my score is mailed to me? |
| A5. The Official Score Report will be mailed to you by ETS in the United States. We cannot tell exactly how long it will take. It is usually the case that candidates receive their scores three or four weeks after the test date. Please note that it takes much longer before your score reporting depending upon the season. For your score delay matters, please contact ETS directly at +1-609-771-7670. |

| A6. Your GRE score is valid for five years. Your past 5 years' scores are reported to you. |

| Q8：What if I did not choose any institutions on the test day or need to send more than 5 institutions later? |
| A8. Please fill out "Additional Score Request Form" in the GRE Information Bulletin and send the document to ETS by fax or mail.
