Language proficiency tests are often mandatory for studying abroad, ensuring students can thrive academically. Common tests include IELTS and TOEFL for English, DELF/DALF for French, and TestDaF for German. These assessments evaluate reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.
IELTS and TOEFL are widely accepted in English-speaking countries, while specific tests like JLPT for Japanese or HSK for Chinese may be required for non-English programs. Always check the university’s requirements, as some institutions may prefer one test over another or waive the requirement for native speakers or prior education in the language.
