This site doesn't allow for short search terms like GRE, but you can use a search like this at google - site:degreeforum.net gre general
Since the exam was revised in the last 2 or 3 years, you may want to add a date to narrow down the search results further.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but had questions about the GRE, is it Prometric? I found lots of info about it on study.com. What is the cost? Is it taken at test centers like CLEP and DSST?

Is it a mandatory exam in order to pursue masters degree? Or is it optional?

Now GRE exams can be taken at home using ProctorU!

Ok so the fee is $205. And love the option of selecting which scores to send in case one has to retake it.

Every school is different on their policy for requiring GRE. There are many schools and degree programs which do not require GRE. Personally, I won't apply to any master's program that requires a GRE score. I am not wasting my time or money on this exam when there are many schools who offer my master's degree without the exam. Testing centers are closed here and it's not possible to take it. Haven't been able to since mid-March when we shut down for 2 weeks....still shutdown and it's now September.

FYI - This is for the GRE General Test, not the subject tests. This should be good for grad school admissions for various programs, if you're not into the other exam, the GMAT (GMAT is generally for Business schools). Frankly, I would take any and all necessary prerequisites before taking the GRE or GMAT and of course, study for them and not cram the last minute.
