For Both Computer-Based and Paper-Based Tests

The following procedures and regulations apply during the entire test session, which begins at sign-in, ends at sign-out and includes breaks.

• If you requested and received an authorization voucher from ETS, you must take it with you to the test center.
• You will be required to write (not print) and sign a confidentiality statement at the test center. If you do not complete and sign the statement, you cannot test and your test fees will not be refunded.
• ETS reserves the right to ensure the security of test content by using electronic detection scanning devices (e.g., hand-held metal detectors/wands). Failure to comply may result in dismissal from the test and forfeiture of your test fees.
• You may be required to sign the test center log before and after the test session and any time you leave or enter the testing room.
• You may be asked to remove your watch and to store it during the test administration.
• The test administrator will provide you with scratch paper that may be replenished after you have used all pages of the scratch paper initially given to you. You may not take your own scratch paper to the test, nor may you remove scratch paper from the testing room at any time. Scratch paper is provided to assist test takers in working out problems and for appropriate note taking during timed sections of the test. Scratch paper should NOT be used during breaks or before the test. At the conclusion of the test, you will be required to return all scratch paper to the test administrator.
• If at any time during the test you have a problem with your computer, or for any reason need the administrator, raise your hand.
• Testing premises are subject to videotaping.
• The GRE revised General Test includes an optional 10-minute break after the third section and one-minute breaks between the remaining sections of the test. These break times cannot be exceeded. You are required to remain in the test center building or in the immediate area.
• If you need to leave your seat at any time other than the break, raise your hand; timing of the section will not stop.
• You will have access to an on-screen calculator during the Quantitative Reasoning sections.
• Personal calculators are not permitted in the testing room.
• Testing between August 1, 2011, and November 30, 2011: Your unofficial Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning scores on the new score scale will not be available for viewing at the test center. Instead, you will be able to view an estimate of your performance expressed as a range on the prior 200 – 800 score scale.
• Testing in December 2011 or later: You will be able to view your unofficial Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning scores at the test center on the new 130 – 170 score scale.
• Because of the essay scoring process, you will not be able to view your Analytical Writing scores at the time you test.
• Test centers cannot provide printed copies of unofficial score reports.
