When Should You Apply For IELTs/PTE/TOEFL etc English Exams?

Students should know that IELTs exams are held 2 or 3 every month depending on your country. While exams like PTE & others have more flexible times to sit exam or availability to book exam at any date.

We have come to know many students wait to do English exam and then come to make application with the us, where most of time students mentioned they are afraid if they don’t pass the English exam.

The correct way we recommend students to do English exam is as follows;

1.Make application with us first and mention your present English proof such as English medium taught in school or English done as subject in Alevels/WASSCE/12th etc. As your application is in progress you will be able to do English exam and submit the scores once received. (Why apply to us 1st? Because number of seats per batch is limited so if you wait till English exam scores come the seats may already be full. Also time taken to process application is long so you need to start as early as possible.)

2.What if you fail English exam? Depending on exam done you will be able to sit for next round which would be in less than 20-30days. Simply re-sit exam with better preparation.

3.What if fail English exam many time and miss application deadline? No need to worry in this case you have to inform us regarding situation and then sometimes if you are ok we maybe able to offer you English program to do at destination country which will cost you extra but then you may not need redo English exams again since you are visiting to improve English via program. Or incase you don’t like that option then we can defer your offer to the next intake and by then you can complete English exam.
