Language Proficiency Tests

Language tests look similar from a distance but differ in format, scoring and who accepts them. We help you choose the right test for your purpose, then prepare for its specific tasks and criteria.

Choosing within language proficiency tests

Start from the receiving organization. Universities commonly list IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, the Duolingo English Test or Cambridge C1 Advanced; migration routes often name specific versions, such as IELTS General Training, IELTS for UKVI, PTE Academic UKVI or PTE Core; and French, Spanish and German requirements may ask for DELF/DALF, TCF variants, DELE or the Goethe-Zertifikat.

Then consider your strengths. IELTS and the Cambridge exams include face-to-face speaking with an examiner; TOEFL iBT and PTE Academic are fully computer-delivered, and the Duolingo English Test is taken at home and is adaptive. Some tests give a lifelong certificate at one level, while others report a score on a scale that institutions usually accept for two years.
