Is GRE Required for International Students from English-Speaking Countries?

AI Thread Summary
For physics undergraduates from Singapore seeking graduate education in the United States, the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is generally required, though it's essential to check individual university requirements. Additionally, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) may also be necessary, despite English being Singapore's official language. This requirement is common for international students to demonstrate English proficiency.

Hey,

I am a physics year 3 undergraduate seeking to pursue a graduate education in the United States. I am from the Republic of Singapore, a commonwealth nation, with English as our official language. May I know if GRE is necessary for me to get into USA universities for graduate education?

You should check each university's requirements, but usually the answer is yes.
 
You may also be required to take the TOEFL, which is an English test often required of international students.
 
Signapore's national language is English, so I'd be surprised if that is the case.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
