You can take the GRE General Test once every 21 days, up to five times within any continuous rolling 12-month period (365 days). This applies even if you canceled your scores on a test taken previously. The GRE General Test at home is available around the clock, seven days a week, with appointments available as early as 24 hours after you register.
