Each country has a different system of education and there is no common denominator to grade students. How then does a University in America, which follows the GPA system, determine the admissibility of a student from India or China or Japan or South Africa for that matter? The best method is to ask students to take a standardized test, common to all applicants. In this, the admissions committee is able to gauge the aptitude of a student for their particular academic program. And performance on the Standardized tests is one of the determining factors in securing admissions to the best programs.
Almost every university will mention on its respective website the tests you as an applicant need to take. Students applying to non business programs are typically required to take the GRE. Depending on the program you choose, the A-GRE (subject specific GRE test) might be required or recommended. And if you come from a country where English is not the first language, then the TOEFL or the IELTS is mandatory.
Please pre-plan your test dates, to avoid any disappointment in securing test dates of your choice. When selecting a date, factor in at least 4 months of serious preparations prior to the test date and at least 15 days prior to the first application deadline that you intend to meet. Also avoid any clashes with possible college examinations.
