This is all what i know about GRE test. GRE is one of the necessary and compulsory requirements for the American Universities to be enrolled. Now, some European Universities also keep GRE to be the part of admission requirement nowadays. But if you want to study in the best institutes of the world that is the American Universities, you have to fullfil this essential requirement. In short, GRE and TOEFL, both tests are the keys to enter in the American Universities. According me, reading and writing blogs in english in Film Annex makes you trained for most of the portions of IELTS (www.filmannex.com/blogs/introduction-to-ielts/89526 ), TOEFL (www.filmannex.com/blogs/toefl-or-ielts-introduction-to-toefl/90087) and GRE tests.
