Which English tests are actually accepted
Only the funder’s named list counts. An “equivalent” you assume is not an equivalent they accept.
Read the named list
IELTS Academic and TOEFL iBT appear often; many funders also name Cambridge, PTE, or Duolingo — or none of those. If your certificate is missing from the list, write to the provider before you pay for a new test.
Scores and validity
Minimum overall and component scores both matter. Most certificates expire after two years for admissions purposes. A test you have not taken yet is “unknown”, not a failure — plan the date so results arrive before the deadline.
Waivers
Some programmes waive tests for prior study in English. Waivers are programme-specific; a previous waiver elsewhere does not transfer automatically.
