Several things need to be prepared when you decided to take a PhD degree especially in the US. One of them is a GRE test score. GRE is a standardized aptitude test for engineering graduate school. It assesses of your critical thinking, analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning skills — all skills developed over the course of many years. This is one of the most challenging blocker for several people of taking a PhD especially if you are not an English native speaker. Beside of that GRE also pretty expensive, it costs $160 in the US and $190 in other countries. There are many of online courses, for example magoosh.com, that give what you need for the test.
If you're not from an English speaking country, you need to prepare document proof of English proficiency. You can choose between iBT TOEFL or IELTS. iBT TOEFL is much better if you are targeting for a PhD in the US and IELTS is best for European country and Australia. American universities accept both but it requires bigger score of IELTS than other countries.
