    Dear Abishya,
    A good GRE score is usually above 310. Though IELTS is also accepted, take TOEFL instead of IELTS if you want to study in US. A score of 100 in TOEFL is required. If you decide to take IELTS still an overall score above 6.5 is recommended. Please note that the admission requirements vary from university to university so you must visit the university websites to check the requirements before applying . Hope it helps.

No, GRE is not mandatory for all universities. Top institutions like University of Toronto and UBC often require. Many universities like Simon Fraser University, Ryerson (TMU), and Carleton University make it optional or waive it if you have a high GPA and relevant work experience.
