The best English proficiency exam depends on your study destination and institution. IELTS and TOEFL are the most widely accepted. IELTS is preferred in the UK, Australia, and Canada, while TOEFL is common for US universities.
Cambridge English exams (e.g., C1 Advanced) are accepted in some European institutions. PTE Academic is gaining recognition, especially in Australia. Consider your target university’s requirements, test format preferences, and location. IELTS Academic and TOEFL iBT are computer or paper-based, while PTE is fully computerized. Always verify the specific exam and score needed with your chosen institution.
