American English

Hi,
I'm British and therefore have grown up spelling words in British English: colour, palour, plagarise etc. Should I assume I'm going to have to use American English in the essays or risk being penalised? And if so are there any obvious differences between the two that are worth noting aside from the fact we tend to add "u"s to words and use "s" instead of "z" for verbs?

For the AWA is really important to stick with American English because GRE is an American test.
I think they would count like spelling errors.
I hope this helps out.

I agree with @Carcass; you will need to follow the rules of American English on the GRE. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.
Good luck!
