You have a few options if your IELTS score isn't strong enough:

- Retake the IELTS after focused preparation, especially in weaker sections, to improve your overall band score.
- Use IELTS One Skill Retake if you only need to improve one section (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking); this is available for computer-based tests within 60 days of your original date.
- Consider alternative English tests like TOEFL, PTE Academic, or Duolingo English Test, if accepted by your target universities.
- Look for conditional admission programs that offer English language courses before your main degree.
- Check if a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate from your previous studies in English is accepted by your chosen universities.
