And how to get a scholarship!
Most students know that the GRE test fee is $200. But that is not the end. If you're talking GRE costs, you need to factor in a lot of other expenses. “How much does the GRE cost?” well, there is no universal answer to that. It all depends on how you are going to prepare, what all are you going to purchase as a part of your preparation, and ultimately, where you live. You need to factor in a lot of other expenses, which eventually will cost you much more than the actual test fee.
Fees are stated in U.S. dollars. Fees effective July 1, 2017.
