    I always had the idea of going to the United States for graduate school or work, but I didn't seize this opportunity when I was in high school.

    I hope to take the GRE and go abroad in the future, so I am looking for advice on taking the GRE and TOEFL here.

    He is now a first-year student studying electronic information engineering.

    Learning English for oneself is a kind of learning that belongs to a kind of interest, and it is not very systematic to learn.

    The level of English in the Sichuan college entrance examination is about 130 points, and the vocabulary is also a hard injury, but I think that oral language is a strong point.

    Usually English and my own interests and hobbies overlap a lot, I like games and technology, I have a lot of foreign news**, and I also like FB and Twitter. It's not a problem to communicate with foreigners.

    And my GPA score may not be able to shine, because I am usually more casual, and the school attaches more importance to my usual grades, and my GPA may become my hard flaw.

    My doubts are roughly as follows.

    1.According to your own understanding, the vocabulary of TOEFL should be greater than that of the GRE, and many people's recommendations also suggest taking the GRE first and then taking the TOEFL, but the online advice may be based on the fact that the other party is already in the late junior or sophomore year.

    My plan is to take the TOEFL test first and then the GRE test, but I don't know if this is reasonable.

    2.In the school, in the sophomore year, that is, in December next year, there are some overseas programs that can be declared, and the minimum requirements are generally GPA > and TOEFL 85 or above, and I hope to try to declare it, and I have the opportunity to have a short-term exchange (there are a series of credit study programs from the University of California from March to June, and even 3+2, 3+1+1 programs).

    Because of this, I would like to prepare for the TOEFL and take the test for the first time, and I would like to know how likely I am to be selected in this type of program in my sophomore year (which is basically for sophomores or juniors).

    To apply for graduate school in the United States, you need not only an IELTS or TOEFL score (IELTS is recognized by more than 2,000 institutions in the United States, and there are almost no barriers to applying), but also a GRE (Graduate Record Exam). If you only have an IELTS score, you can apply in the UK, Canada and Australia, but preferably in Canada. In recent years, British graduate students and Australian graduate students have a poor reputation in China, and some recruiters clearly do not want UK-taught masters, so it is recommended that you choose the United States first, followed by Canada.

    Well, IELTS or TOEFL is a must for international students in the United States. American universities recognize TOEFL. IELTS is more recognised by schools in the UK. It's not that you have to take which country. will be recognized, just which is more recognized.

    It is best to take the T test for graduate students who apply to American universities, and IELTS is also acceptable; To apply for a science and engineering degree, you must take the GRE. It is recommended that you choose a few ideal universities first, and then check their official website for details and requirements, which vary from university to university. In addition, if you need to take the GMAT to apply for business, some universities also need GRE special tests (SUB), such as math SUB, chemistry SUB, etc.

    Graduate school abroad should prepare for the GRE first and then the TOEFL. After conquering the GRE, it will be much easier to take the TOEFL. Of course, the premise is that you have worked hard to prepare for this exam, and have done enough practice and memorized enough words.

    In this case, there is basically no need to memorize TOEFL words, and it is relatively easy to read and write. But don't forget that TOEFL and GRE are two different types of tests.

    The key point of the TOEFL is to test your ability to adapt to university life in the United States (or other English-speaking countries that accept TOEFL), so it also includes speaking and listening, which cannot be improved by preparing for the GRE alone. Moreover, the current IBT focuses on the comprehensive examination of various abilities, that is, in addition to listening only listening and reading only reading, the speaking and composition parts are combined with listening. So no matter how good the GRE is, it has nothing to do with the content of this part of the investigation.

    GRE is the Graduate Record Test in the United States, which is designed to assume that you are a native speaker. This test focuses more on your personal logical analysis ability, which means that it is not designed to be an English test, but a test to test students' learning ability. It's just that for people from non-English speaking countries, due to our lack of vocabulary, there are not as many opportunities to use English as students from English-speaking countries, and the first obstacle that needs to be faced is the language barrier.

    Of course, since the GRE score is valid for a longer period of time - 5 years, while the TOEFL is valid for a shorter period of 2 years, many people choose to take the GRE first and put aside the TOEFL after the test. Accumulating GRE words is also a difficult hurdle for TOEFL. But after all, the purpose of the two exams is different, everyone's English foundation is different, and everyone's time is not the same, so which one to take first depends on your own situation.

    It depends on your personal habits, in general, students choose to go step by step, that is, to take the test first

    TOEFL and GRE will be easier to prepare for the GRE with DAO TOEFL as the language foundation. Of course, there are also students who prepare for the GRE first, the TOEFL test time is more flexible, basically there is a test every month, you only need to take the test after you are fully prepared, after the GRE "baptism", the TOEFL is very relaxed.

    If you don't have a good level of English, then it is recommended to prepare for TOEFL first! After all, the GRE is an all-English test, and if you don't speak English well, you won't even be able to understand the questions!

    If you are strong in English, then these 2 exams don't matter the priority!

    The GRE is much easier than the TOEFL, if the English level is not particularly good, it is recommended to take the TOEFL first, if you have a certain foundation, it is much easier to take the GRE first and then the TOEFL.
