A friend of mine gave GRE in Feb 2016. Validity of this score of 5 years will be counted till the beginning of class or till applying.
Ex - Can he apply to a college whose session starts in 2022 (6 years from date of GRE) and admission starts in 2021 (5 years from date of GRE).
FAQ from ETS website:
How long are GRE scores valid?
For tests taken on or after July 1, 2016, scores are reportable for five years following your test date. For example, scores for a test taken on July 3, 2018, are reportable through July 2, 2023.
For tests taken prior to July 1, 2016, scores are reportable for five years following the testing year in which you tested (July 1–June 30). For example, scores for a test taken on May 15, 2016, are reportable through June 30, 2021.
GRE scores earned prior to July 2014 are no longer reportable. GRE scores earned in July 2014 are reportable until June 30, 2020.
Note: It takes approximately five business days to process requests to send GRE scores. If you plan to send scores and the date at which your scores are no longer reportable is approaching, allow enough time for processing or your scores may not be sent.
