GRE Fee Increase from 1 August 2026
If you are planning to sit the GRE, the timing matters this year. From 1 August 2026 the General Test fee rises to USD 249 and Subject Tests to USD 199. Booking before that date locks in the current rate.
Two other things worth planning around: GRE results are available in 8 to 10 days, and scores stay valid for five years — long enough that sitting the test early, while your mathematics is still fresh from your degree, is a legitimate strategy even if you do not intend to apply immediately.
Fees checked July 2026. Confirm the current fee on the official ETS website before booking.
