ETS (Education Testing Service), the organization that develops the new revised GRE test, has worked hard to ensure that convenient GRE test dates are available in Pakistan in 2016. Unlike other tests like the SAT, ACT or university admissions tests in Pakistan, the GRE can be taken any day of the week from Monday to Thursday throughout the year (except public holidays in Pakistan). Many GRE students in Pakistan are surprised to know this – it is only possible because of the fact that GRE is a computer based test and therefore it is convenient for ETS to administer it any time of the year in Pakistan.

Note: The paper based GRE is no longer offered in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. However it is offered in Balochistan only.

Prometric is the company that conducts the GRE test in Pakistan in 3 cities; Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. ETS mentions that GRE test dates are updated on a monthly basis and therefore you must check the most recent test dates for GRE in 2016 regularly. In order to view the GRE test dates for 2016 you should go to the ETS website and make an online account. Once you create your online account, you will be able to view the available GRE test dates in 2016. Many GRE test takers in Pakistan get confused when it comes to checking the GRE test dates.
