When and how should I choose universities which will get my exam scores?

Question

I'm going to apply for a graduate programs (PhD) that require TOEFL, GRE General and GRE Subject tests. Since deadlines for most programs in USA or Europe are somewhere in December-January and two available test dates for Subject test in my location are September and October, I thought that I will be able to choose schools where I will apply after passing exams. But a couple of days ago I realised that it is necessary to match 4 target schools as a part of registration process for TOEFL or GRE. My questions are: - Will I be able to change universities after registration for TOEFL and GRE? Are there any deadlines? - How and when can I match additional universities if I want to apply more than four places?

Hello!

For anyone looking for this information, it can be found on the ets website here:

I would recommend contacting the schools you will apply to and asking if they require the official score report for their application. Some schools will only require that you list your score on the application, and will then ask for the official score report later, upon admission to the program.

If more than four of your schools of choice require the official score report, just choose four of the schools. You will then pay an additional $27 per additional recipient school.

This process would work differently for students applying to Veterinary programs through VMCAS; I would consult the VMCAS website directly for up-to-date information on where to send your score report.
