Graduate Schools where GRE not required

A fan asked, I want to study graduated course in a US school? Is it necessary to GRE or how can go for one such course without GRE Score?'

Wonderful question and perhaps this is the problem of many leaving undergraduate college and willing to pursue graduate coursework. GRE Score is a mandatory requirement for Graduate Admission across United States and Canada. Also the GRE Score is accepted worldwide for graduate school admission including MBA and Law. Taking GRE is right decision but if you do not GRE Score then too you can apply for many schools across worlds as well as in United States and Canada. I dig deeper, internet database and found few institutes in US where Schools do not ask for GRE Score. Here is the list of

How to prepare for GRE

GRE is a test for everyone and anyone. The test is taken by college graduates to pursue graduate courses and apply for scholarships/fellowships. Like any other exam, GRE also require preparation. In practice GRE measures what you have learnt in college and whether you would be able to complete coursework offered from graduate schools. To help you in preparation the test administrators offers study resources. Here are links

Prepare with official test prep — including
The Official Guide to the GRE General Test, Third Edition and

The study material is designed to help you do your best!

How to register for GRE General

The Educational Testing Services (ETS) is administering authority for GRE and GRE Subject Test.
Create your profile on ETS website and then register for GRE. Create a test taker account

How can I use GRE Score Select Option

GRE Scores are reported after 10-15 days of test administration. On test date, you can chose to show Recent GRE Score to recruiters Or all. Later test date, you can chose to show recent / all or any GRE Score to recruiters. The scores will be sent to selected institutions. If you want to send GRE Score to more institutions a fee is chargeable.

GRE Scores are valid for a period of 5 years. Candidates can write GRE General 5 times in a year but there must be a gap of 21 days between two GRE tests.
