Graduate Record Exams

Graduate schools expect the GRE General Test, as well as the relevant GRE subject test. The General Test is given year-round at Prometric testing centers in Boston, Brookline, and elsewhere.

The Subject Tests are offered only three times a year (October, November, and February) at Roxbury Community College, Simmons College, Suffolk University, and other places farther away. The ETS website provides a complete list of test center and test dates.
