You can consider several alternatives to TOEFL and IELTS for English proficiency:

- Duolingo English Test (DET): Widely accepted by universities in the USA and Canada.
- PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English Academic): Recognized by many institutions in both countries.
- Cambridge English Advanced (CAE/C1 Advanced): Accepted by various universities.
- Oxford Test of English: Recognized by select institutions.
- CAEL (Canadian Academic English Language Assessment): Especially relevant for Canadian universities.

Accepted tests and required scores vary by university and program, so requirements are subject to change. For guidance on which test suits your target universities, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
