ETS is committed to serving test takers with disabilities and health-related needs by providing services and reasonable accommodations that are appropriate given the purpose of the test. Testing accommodations are available for test takers who meet ETS requirements.
Learn more about the accommodations request process and the resources available to you.
Test takers can take a GRE Subject Test with JAWS ® , with or without a refreshable braille device. These features are offered at GRE test centers in the United States and other countries. To take a GRE Subject Test with these features, complete the forms and follow the registration procedures explained on this page.
If you’d like to request accommodations other than those listed below, describe them in Part II of the Testing Accommodations Request Form in the Bulletin Supplement for Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-related Needs (PDF) (2024-25)
Note: Breaks are not included in testing time (can be used for medication, snacks, trips to the restroom, etc.).
1 Only applicants who are deaf or hard-of-hearing
2 Only applicants who are blind or have low vision
Before you begin, review the following documents. You’ll need them to successfully request accommodations and register.
If you have a health-related need that requires you to bring equipment, beverages or snacks into the testing room, or to take extra or extended breaks, you must follow the accommodations request procedures in the Bulletin Supplement.
You must submit your request and have your accommodations approved by ETS Disability Services before you can schedule your test.
Submit your request as early as possible, especially if you’re requesting an alternate test format. Documentation review may take approximately 4–6 weeks once your request and complete paperwork have been received. If additional documentation is requested, it may be another 2–4 weeks from the time the new documentation is received until the review is complete.
The easiest, most convenient way to apply for accommodations and view approved accommodations is online in your ETS account. Simply log in to your ETS account, click on "GRE Accommodation Status/New Request" under the "Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-Related Needs" section on the main home page and follow the instructions. Be sure to submit all of the completed forms and documentation.
You can also email your request or send it by mail or courier service.
