What is TOFEL and GRE,,,,? How To aproach these exams and where do i start from ??(i want to continue my education in biological sciences from american universities as they r best in tht .......so plse guide me through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Itis TOEFL not TOFEL !!! The Test Of English as a Foreign Language evaluates the potential success of an individual to use and understand standard American English at a college level. It is required for non-native applicants at many US and other English-speaking colleges and universities.

Where Can I Take the TOEFL TEST?

The test is usually taken on a computer in a test center, although paper versions are available where it is not possible to take it this way. TOEFL is administered worldwide.  You need to register for that test in ETS website, www.ets.org

The GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is required for admission to U.S. and Canadian graduate schools. Most students attend graduate school for a master or doctoral degree. The GRE exam does not test any specific knowledge in certain subject. Rather, it tests the "mental intelligence" as well as the ability to make decision under time pressure.

For both TOEFL and GRE  you need to register at www.ets.org. You can go for coaching or go for self study depending on your ability. I am telling you from experience GRE is a bit tough and challenging, you need to do lot of hard work with dedication.

And some of the average American universities doesn't ask for GRE.

Hope this helps you !!!

Good Luck!!!
