Are there specific times or limits on how many times I can take the GRE or IELTS exams?

You can take the IELTS exam as many times as you wish - there is no official limit, and no required waiting period between attempts. You can rebook whenever a test date is available.
For the GRE, you can take the exam up to five times in any 12-month period, with at least 21 days between attempts.
Each attempt for both exams requires separate registration and payment.
