To prepare for English proficiency requirements for MBA programs abroad, focus on achieving a strong score in a recognized test like IELTS Academic. Most top MBA programs require an overall band of 6.5 - 7.5, with no section below 6.0 - 6.5 (subject to change).

- Understand the test format (listening, reading, writing, speaking).
- Use official IELTS study materials and practice tests.
- Set a consistent study schedule, especially for writing and speaking.
- Immerse yourself in English through reading, movies, and conversation.
- Take regular full-length practice tests to build confidence and speed.
- Seek feedback from instructors or mentors to target weak areas.

If you need structured support, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you on preparation resources and next steps.
