If I score above 90 in my English exam, do I still need to appear for IELTS or other English proficiency tests in UK/Germany?
It depends on the university and country. Some universities may exempt you from English proficiency tests like IELTS if you scored above 90 in your English exam, but this is not guaranteed.
- UK: Many universities accept high English marks or specific qualifications (like A-Level English) as proof, but requirements vary.
- Germany: Some universities accept alternatives like TOEFL, Duolingo, or a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter if your previous degree was taught in English.
- Singapore: Certain institutions accept alternative tests or qualifications, but policies differ.
Requirements are subject to change and depend on the program. Your LeapScholar counsellor can help review your target universities’ current policies.
