Question! Is it necessary to
As a fellow Canadian, I
As a fellow Canadian, I recommend that students use American spelling for the two essays on the GRE. My main reason for this is that I doubt that most readers are aware of the differences in Canadian/American spelling. This is true even among Canadians. For example most Canadians will spell "neighbour" and "colour" with a "u" (Canadian/British spelling), but the same people will write "realize" with a "z" (American spelling)
Although the test-makers say that minor spelling and grammatical mistakes will not affect your score, I can't help but think that some readers who are unaware of the spelling differences may view an essay with Canadian spelling slightly less favorably (favourably).
Cheers,
