Fair enough. I had an older model of the GRE in mind, when there were only 1 or 2 in-person test sessions per year, so taking the GRE in spring 2022 would mean I couldn't start classes until fall 2023.

It looks like the GRE is now available online, 24/7/365, so I could probably study and take it in the next month or two. There were a cluster of Fall 2022 application deadlines at the beginning of May, but if I decide to apply for Spring 2022, a GRE might be worthwhile to give my application package a boost.

Thanks for the note!
