It depends on the university and program, but most MSc programs in Singapore and the US require you to take English proficiency exams like IELTS or TOEFL, especially if your previous education was not fully in English.

- Singapore: Some programs may also recommend or require GRE or GMAT scores, especially if your GPA is below their typical cutoff.
- United States: GRE is commonly required for MSc admissions, though some universities may waive it based on your academic background or work experience.

With a GPA of 7.8, strong English proficiency and standardized test scores can strengthen your application.
