How long does it typically take for ETS to mail your GRE scores?

[lifeofbai]

I'm sure that this has been answered here before, but there are a lot of posts to wade through... How long does it typically take ETS to mail your GRE scores to schools? I have a January 15 deadline, and I'd like to give myself enough time to make sure the scores are sent and received by the university.

I'd appreciate any feedback.

ok from what i understand is 10 to fifteen business days after you took it but it can take longer if ETS screws up which they do alot for some reason .

It took quite a bit longer for them to be mailed to me so I sucked it up and paid the 12 dollars to hear them by phone and then requested scores by phone also. I think in the long run it was worth it, I was able to get my scores out earlier and was much more at ease afterward.

I took the GRE on November 19th and haven't received my scores by mail to this day. I called GRE last week and they said the scores were sent out on December 2, so that's about 13 days turn around time.

They provided me with my registration number over the phone and from there I was able to log on to the ETS site- you have to create a profile- and view my scores online.

people seem to post varying times from a few days to a few weeks. i would definitely take the GRE very, very soon if you haven't already! i got my scores in about 8 days, excluding weekends (and excluding thanksgiving), but some people say they don't receive it till weeks later. there was another post on this a few weeks ago (maybe beginning of dec) and my turnaround time seemed to be VERY fast compared to other people.
