Getting Your GRE Subject Test Scores

What scores are reported?

Every GRE Subject Test yields a total score on a 200 to 990 score scale, in 10-point increments. Each of the individual test scales occupies only a portion of the 200 to 990 score range.

For Physics and Psychology Tests taken beginning in September 2023, percent correct subscores are reported on a 0–100 score scale, in 1-point increments.

For Physics and Psychology Tests taken prior to September 2023, equated subscores are reported on a 20–99 score scale, in 1-point increments, although the range for any particular Subject Test subscore is usually smaller.

When and how will I get my scores?

Your official GRE Subject Test score(s) will be available in your ETS account on the score reporting date for your test date. You’ll receive an email notification from ETS when they are available.

ETS will also send an official Institution Score Report to the score recipients you designated during registration at that time.

What’s in my official score report?

Accessible in your ETS account, your official GRE Test-taker Score Report is intended only for your information and personal records. It contains your:

• contact information (name, phone number and email)
• date of birth
• gender
• intended graduate major
• test date(s)
• GRE test score(s) and the associated percentile ranks
• authorized score recipients or fellowship sponsors and the scores reported to those institutions
• cumulative record of scores reported within the last 5 years

See a sample Test-taker Score Report (PDF).

If you wish to have a paper copy, you can print one from your ETS account. It won't be sent to you by mail.

What information is sent to institutions?

Official score reports sent to the institutions you designate include:

• your contact information (name, address, phone number, email)
• date of birth
• gender
• your intended graduate major field
• the GRE test score(s) you choose to report with the ScoreSelect^® option and the associated percentile ranks

They don’t include:

• any information concerning the other score recipients you have chosen
• any scores you’ve chosen not to report
• any indication that you’ve taken other GRE tests

Photos from each GRE Subject Test administration you select from your 5-year reportable history will be available to your score recipients in the ETS^® Data Manager as part of your score record.

How long are my scores reportable?

GRE scores are reportable for 5 years following your test date. See the exact date your scores will be reportable based on your test date.
