I am a student majoring in photoelectric information engineering at Nanjing University of Science and Technology, and I want to go to the United States or Canada for graduate study. But I want to change my major after going abroad. Test what? If you want to continue studying engineering, you can only take GRE；; If you want to switch to journalism or business, go to GMAT. It should be pointed out that whether you need to attend the preparatory course can only be decided by your TOEFL or IELTS scores. Only when your TOEFL or IELTS scores meet the minimum admission standards of the school can you be exempted from matriculation.

What needs to be reminded in particular is that choosing a major needs to consider not only one's own interests, but also the employment prospects, which is particularly important for China students, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the United States after graduation! Journalism is very popular and respected in China, but in the United States, the employment prospects are bleak and the wages are very low! (The annual salary of graduates is about $30,000, which basically belongs to the bottom); Business employment is average and salary is average; On the contrary, engineering employment prospects are very good, ranking the top 3 in American demand! In 2008, the starting annual salary of engineering graduates can also reach about 60 thousand dollars. Even the economic crisis since 2008 has failed to shake the demand of engineering graduates, and the starting salary has increased year by year! Engineering students from famous universities have been booked by major companies before graduation! This is mainly because engineering is difficult to learn and American students are unwilling to learn, resulting in a shortage of engineering graduates. Therefore, I suggest you continue to study engineering in the United States!

If you really don't like engineering, you'd better search the employment situation of various disciplines on the Internet and choose a major that you like and has a good employment prospect. I think this is more suitable.
