I have passed my 12th class with science last year and want to study abroad through gre for my graduation .am I eligible???
You are eligible to appear for international examinations, however, GRE is an examination for post-graduate education and thus it requires you to have completed your undergraduation.
In order to apply for undergraduate programmes abroad you can give examinations like SAT, ACT, TOEFL iBT, IELTS, CAE and CPE examinations.
These examinations test you in the domains of English, Mathematics, Science, Social Sciences, Humanities and Writing.
1. For testing English:
- Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for countries like USA and Canada.
- International English Language Testing System (IELTS) for countries like UK, Australia and New Zealand.
- The Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) and The Certificate of Proficience in English (CPE) for countries like UK.
2. Testing of other parameters:
- SAT - It tests Critical Reading, Math and Writing.
- ACT- It tests English, Math, Reading and Science with an optional Writing section.
How long are the results of these examinations valid for?
- SAT and ACT scores are valid for five years, i.e. these scores expire after five years of examination and cannot be used to apply to universities.
- Similarly TOEFL and IELTS scores are valid for two years after the examination.
- CAE and CPE results too are valid for two years after the examination.
How to prepare?
- For TOEFL and IELTS: You can improve when you’re not "studying." Listen to English podcasts, read the news in English, and watch English movies. If you have friends who plan to take the TOEFL, speak English with them instead of your native language. And if you are lucky enough to have native English speaking friends, talk with them as often as you can.
- For SAT and ACT: You need to start reading heavy texts like Native American Speeches, Classic Novels etc., alon with it you need to keep practicing paper after papers, you need to keep you basics in check (grammar) and overall you need to stay focused.
You might have to give a SAT Subject Test in your respective field of interest.
What is SAT Subject Test?
- SAT Subject Tests are college admission exams on specific subjects. These are the only national admission tests where you choose the tests that best showcase your strengths and interests.
- There are 20 SAT Subject Tests in five general subject areas: English, history, languages, mathematics and science.
- Subject Tests test you on your knowledge of subjects on a high school level. The best way to prepare is to take the relevant courses and work hard in them.
Career options which open after doing science in high school:
- Engineering
- Architecture
- Merchant Navy
- Commercial Pilot
- Bachelor of Science
- Business Administration and Management Studies
- Commerce
- Arts and Humanities
- Ethical Hacking
- Industrial Design

All the best!
I hope this helps!

I want to get myself admitted to MS in DRA.Can I get a list of the colleges with the GRE score requirement and deadlines for fall 2019?
Dear student,
The due date for admission to most schools will be early December(December first to fifteenth) 2018 to Mid (January fifteenth) 2019. I will counsel you take the GRE early enough ; Maybe May-July 2018. Paradventure you have to retake The test, you have abundant time to do that.
In spite of the fact that GRE itself is only an assessment to open the entryway for concentrates in worldwide colleges, scores underneath 300 isn't viewed as great. Also, to the extent concede in top 50 colleges in US is considered, I am extremely sorry to learn, score of 289 would barely bring you that.
Taking into account that it takes about 2-2.5 months to create an ideal application, the perfect time to take GRE is during April-May. When you are prepared to step through your examination, you should likewise waitlist 4 schools to whom you can send your GRE scores as a major aspect of your ETS test expense.
All the very best
