Tu camino del puntaje actual a la elegibilidad

  1. Pick your destination country and confirm which English tests your target schools accept.
  2. Find the minimum overall score and any per-section minimums for your program level.
  3. Take a diagnostic or use your latest official/mock score to see your current level.
  4. Identify the section furthest below the requirement—that is usually your highest-risk gap.
  5. Build a focused prep plan for that section instead of studying all skills equally.
  6. Use full mocks to confirm your score is consistently above the requirement before booking a retake.
  7. Apply with a score that matches your target schools and keep source citations for your records.
