Yes, taking the GRE can strengthen your scholarship chances, even if it’s not required by the universities you’ve checked.

A strong GRE score highlights your quantitative and analytical skills, which can make your application more competitive for scholarships - especially at top universities in Singapore. Some universities may encourage or consider GRE scores for research-oriented programs or certain scholarships, even if it’s not mandatory.

Given your solid academic record and work experience, a good GRE score could help you stand out.
