Everything You Need to Know about GRE & TOEFL
GRE
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test is a standardised test used for admissions to graduate programs worldwide. Administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), the GRE General Test assesses a candidate’s abilities in Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Critical Thinking, and Analytical Writing.
The GRE General Test closely reflects the kind of thinking you’ll do in today’s demanding graduate school programs, including business and law. It measures your verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills — skills that have been developed over a long period of time and aren’t related to a specific field of study but are essential for all.

About TOEFL Test
TOEFL stands for the Test of English as a Foreign Language. It is another widely recognised standardised test of English language proficiency. Like IELTS, TOEFL is used by universities, colleges, and employers to assess the English language skills of non-native English speakers. The test measures the ability to use and understand English academically. TOEFL scores are reported on a scale of 0 to 120, with each of the four sections receiving a scaled score. TOEFL is often preferred by institutions in North America, while IELTS is more commonly accepted in other English-speaking regions. The choice between TOEFL and IELTS may depend on the requirements of the institution or organisation to which the individual is applying.
