The most crucial step to start the aboard process is to write to standardized tests.

  • We have to take the required tests and get the scores before the application dates end.


1. Take the English Proficiency Test

First we have to prove our English proficiency to get into the University. The popular ones that most universities accept are:

  • IELTS  (International English Language Testing System)
  • TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
  • Duolingo
  • PTE (Pearson Test of English)




We must get a decent score in any of these proficiencies exams to get into a good university.
  • It is crucial to find to which exam is right for you by researching the prerequisites of the institution or business you want to join.
  • Each exam has its own format, scoring system and focus area.
  • But they generally test the four main primary language skills: Reading, Writing, Listening and speaking. 
  • Depending on the requirements of the school you are applying to, you may need to take a specific exam.

2. Taking Graduate Record Exam
  • The GRE exam is an important in graduate school or business school application process.
  • The GRE is multiple-choice, computer-based and standardized exam that is often required for an admission to graduate program.
  • We receive three scores on GRE:
  1. Analytic Writing
  2. Verbal Reasoning
  3. Quantitative Reasoning




      The quantitative reasoning and verbal reasoning sections are each scored on scale of 130- 170. The mean score for verbal reasoning is 152, and the mean score for quantitative reasoning is 156. The analytical writing assessment is scored from 0 to 6 in half-increments, and the mean score is 4.0.
