If you are planning for PhD, first and foremost are you clear on your end goal, is it research or teaching ? If so, then you need to plan for the research areas that you are interested in, which will lead you to find the schools that offer that expertise for PhD. Along the way, you will need to give GRE and TOEFL and any other tests as required by the school. I suggest you check out few schools admission pages to get some idea on the precise requirements.
