2026: How Many Times Can (or Should) You Take the GRE?
How many times can you take the GRE—and how many times should you take it? Those are two very different questions.
In this video, Erika Tyler-John, a 339 GRE scorer and expert instructor with 10+ years of teaching experience and 4M+ YouTube views, breaks down the official GRE retake rules for 2026 and explains how to decide whether another attempt is worth it.
You’ll learn how many times you can take the GRE each year, how long you must wait between attempts, how testing limits apply across online and test-center exams, and what happens if you violate GRE testing policies.
More importantly, Erika explains how to think strategically about retakes. She discusses why many students should plan for two attempts from the beginning, how to evaluate whether another exam is likely to produce meaningful score gains, and the mistakes that can lead to repeated retakes without real improvement.
If you’re planning your GRE timeline or wondering whether another attempt makes sense, this video will help you make a smarter, more informed decision.
