GRE / IELTS / TOEFL - need help

Hi, I'm very new to the idea of studying abroad. I've been following couple of posts in social media which says not many universities accept GRE nowadays. I'm a little confused if i should focus on preparing for IELTS/ TOEFL/ GRE or all 3. I want to know what should I study to get into a good university.

Before even thinking about GRE think about the universities you want to get in and the course you want to do. Then prepare accordingly to meet their acceptance criteria.

Think of GRE as an aptitude test, and TOEFL/IELTS as a language test. There are a few universities that have completely waived off GRE, some universities keep GRE optional(in that case better submit a GRE score, as most other students would do and get an edge over there), and some keep GRE mandatory. So I would highly suggest you to take the GRE. Out of TOEFL and IELTS, you need to take one. Depending on the country, you can chose one of them, for example in US, TOEFL and IELTS both work, however TOEFL is preferred by some top universities, for Canada, UK, Australia, IELTS is preferrred.

I have given GRE and TOEFL, and scored 316/340 and 105/120 respectively.
