Completing the GRE Application Form:

Whenever you decide on the test date either for the computer-based Revised GRE Test or for the paper-based Revised GRE Test, try to fill in the GRE application as early as possible. Any delay on your part can make you lose your seat for that particular test date, as appointments are on first come first served basis, besides early registration can improve your chances of getting your preferred test center and test date. If at all you are late in filling the GRE application form, you will have to pay a late fee of US$25 along with the regular fee and there is no guarantee of you getting your preferred test date and test center. This payment has to be done in one week’s time as payment for late registrations closes within one week after the regular registration dates

d. Decide on a minimum of four score recipients, which have to be designated on your GRE application. If you forget to select your score recipient at the time of applying before your test date, then you will need to submit an Additional Score Report request form with US$23 fee per recipient.
e. You cannot exchange your testing fees and registration between the paper-based tests and the computer-based tests.
