Tests Required to Study in USA
IELTS
IELTS scores are accepted by about 4,000 universities and colleges in the US as evidence of an applicant's English language competency. Depending on the courses and universities, IELTS minimum requirements in the US range from 6 to 7+ band.
Writing, listening, reading, and speaking are the four sections of the examination where applicants' fluency is examined. A good score in IELTS may be the key to admission to prestigious colleges like Harvard, but without the right guidance scoring, 7+ isn't simple.
Leap Scholar's IELTS MasterClass has helped lakhs of students with mock tests, resources, and knowledge directly from the experts.
TOEFL
The TOEFL, or Test of English as a Foreign Language, is one of the most well-known language exams.
Depending on their choices, students can choose to take the TOEFL offline or online.
The prerequisites for the TOEFL online exam might range from 71 to 92 points, depending on the subject and university you choose. However, it would help if you got higher marks for a Ph.D.
