Step 1
Open up your favorite Web browser and type "www.ets.org/gre/" to get to the home page of the GRE. ETS is the company that creates and adminisers the test. As well as registration, this page offers links to a variety of GRE-related materials. If you have experience with Web technology, the site is pretty user-friendly and you will not need to read any farther in this eHow.

Step 2
Underneath a breif paragraph describing the GRE is a set of links decribed "Test Takers." Select the second one down - "Register for the GRE." This will take you to a page offering a choice between the General Test and Subject Tests.

Step 3
If you are taking the General Test, either select the link below the description, or the open circle to the left of the "General Test" banner. This will take you to a page with a variety of resources about registering for the GRE.

Paper-based testing is available in countries where computer-based is not available.
