Test comparison

Compare test format, scoring, result timing, availability, and institution acceptance using official test-provider sources before you register.

IELTS

Paper or computer-delivered, four modules, widely accepted across Canada, UK, and Australia.

TOEFL

Computer-delivered, common requirement for many US universities.

PTE Academic

Fully computer-marked, often faster results turnaround.

Duolingo English Test

Online, on-demand, increasingly accepted for both undergraduate and graduate programs.

GRE / GMAT

Admission tests required by some graduate and business programs, separate from English proficiency.

Important: never assume a test is accepted across an entire university without checking the specific program and intake — acceptance can vary by faculty.
