International students aspiring to pursue their higher education in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, and the UK, are required to submit the English language proficiency test results as a part of their admission process in universities/ academic institutions.The English proficiency test will examine whether your English language skills are adequate to communicate, understand and produce scholarly writing during your academic studies. Most countries demand international students to submit the results of one of the standardised English language proficiency tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, and PTE.

Depending on the course, course duration, university, institution, and the country you choose, you might be exempted from the standardised English proficiency test. Still, you must take up any one of the approved English language proficiency tests to be eligible to study in your desired country or university.
