Nothing is subtracted from your score for incorrect answers. Here is a bit of great news: the GRE does not penalize you for selecting an incorrect answer choice. So, if you're wondering, “Is there negative scoring in GRE tests?” the answer is no! The GRE uses a positive scoring system. There's no penalty for guessing on the GRE. Fill in an answer for every question, even if you decide to skip it. Guessing on this test is a skill in and of itself that requires practice. For instance, if you wind up reaching your minute check-in and still have no clue, make yourself write down an answer.

Yes! As a primary ID proof, ETS ask valid passport of a student at the time of GRE test registration.

However, depending on your test location, other government-issued IDs may be acceptable. Lastly, valid identity proof is required. A valid passport serves the purpose, but since 2021, an Aadhaar card is also accepted.

You should book a test slot at least two weeks before the application deadline. If you are already well-prepared for the test, we would advise you to take the GRE test six weeks before the application deadline, since it would allow you to retake the GRE, if needed. There is no definite time to apply for the GRE. However, keep in mind the university admission deadlines and your preparation before registering for the GRE. From an admission point of view, experts suggest that the right time to book your GRE slot would be two months before your first university admission deadline. This would leave you enough time to re-take the GRE in case

Because each question is scored separately, answering a question wrong won't be deducted from the score for other questions. Because guessing can enhance the likelihood of receiving a higher score, this scoring method encourages test-takers to attempt every question without worrying about losing points.
