have you taken the GRE?
The Graduate Record Examination or GRE is a standardized test that is an admission requirement for many graduate schools in the United States and in other English-speaking countries. The exam measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills and is not related to any specific field of study. The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-based exam, and paper-based exams are offered where computer-based testing is not available. In the United States and Canada, the cost of the general test is $160 as of March 2010.
 
have you taken the GMAT?
The GMAT, or Graduate Management Admission Test is a standardized test in mathematics and the English language to measure your ability to succeed academically in graduate business studies. Business schools commonly use the test as one of many selection criteria for admission into graduate business administration programs (e.g. MBA, Master of Accountancy, etc.) principally in the United States, but also in other English-speaking countries. It is delivered via computer at various locations around the world, or as a paper-based test. The cost to take GMAT exam is US$250 worldwide (this cost is subject to taxes when you schedule an exam in certain countries).
 
My GPA on my educational system:
GPA stands for Grade Point Average, which is a measure of a student's academic achievement at a college or university; calculated by dividing the total number of grade points received by the total number attempted. It reflects the weighted mathematical average of the quality of your work, as indicated by your grades.

Why a GPA?
Knowing your GPA is the simplest way to learn how you compare to others when you apply to study in other countries. Colleges and universities want to evaluate your grades based on their own GPA scale.
