What is the difference between my 12th marks in English and my current English proficiency level for eligibility in Ireland/Australia?

Your 12th-grade English marks show your past academic performance, while your current English proficiency level measures your ability to use English now - usually through tests like IELTS.

Many universities in Ireland, Australia, and the Netherlands require a recent English proficiency test (like IELTS Academic, typically 6.0 - 6.5) for admission. Some may accept a 12th-grade English score of 70% or above as proof, but this varies by university and program.

If your 12th-grade English marks are accepted, you might not need to take an additional test. Otherwise, you’ll need to demonstrate your current proficiency with a recognized exam. For your specific options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
