What are alternative exams to SAT/ACT for studying abroad?

Several alternative exams to SAT/ACT are accepted for studying abroad, depending on the destination and institution. Common options include the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, A-Levels, and Advanced Placement (AP) exams, which are widely recognized in the UK, Canada, and Australia.

For non-native English speakers, language proficiency tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic are often required alongside academic qualifications. Some universities also accept national exams, such as India’s CBSE/ISC or Germany’s Abitur, if they meet specific equivalency standards. Always check the admission requirements of your target institutions to determine which exams they accept.
