According to ETS, the maker of the GRE, GRE scores are valid for five years after the date of your exam. For example, if you took your GRE on April 1, 2021, your score will be valid through March 30, 2026.

For as long as a particular GRE score is valid, you will be able to view that score in your score history in your ets.org account and send that score to schools.

Once your scores from a particular exam expire, ETS eliminates those scores from your online record, and you will no longer be able to send the scores to schools. So, any GRE score report you send to schools will never include expired scores, even if you choose to send your entire score history. And the truth is, graduate schools are very unlikely to have any interest in seeing test scores that are more than 5 years old.

Of course, if your GRE expiration is fast approaching, but you send the scores out right before ETS deletes them from your score history, there is no worry that your score recipients will also lose access to that score. Once your GRE score report is in a school’s possession, ETS can’t revoke or delete that report.
