So pretty much I'm registered to take the GRE this coming monday (Oct 5), and I just got the "reminder" email today. I'm reading over it and notice something in the rules:
So I say to myself, "Self, you better check they got that right." So I scroll to the top of the email and see the email is addressed to "Tim Detwiler Detwiler".... except my name is "Tim Detwiler" or "Timothy Detwiler" if you go by my drivers license (name changed slightly for privacy.... however you get the point).
I'm starting to get moderately worried they're going to try to screw me out of the $150 registration fee since it's too close to the day to cancel/re-register, and I have no means of contacting them until monday morning from the information I see on the site.
Has anyone else had experience with GRE and name/ID issues? I fired off some emails since that's the only form of support currently available... and I noticed they have "eChat" from 10 til 2 tomorrow I'm going to give a shot, however I just want to get this resovled asap so I don't have to drop another $150 to register again.
When scheduling your appointment, you must use exactly the same name as shown on the primary identification document that you will present at the test center. This ID must contain your name, signature, and a recent, recognizable photograph.
