TOEFL
TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language. It is a standardized test measuring the English language knowledge of non-native speakers.
Over 700 institutions across Europe accept the TOEFL iBT scores. Sources say that 100% of universities in the U.K. accept these testing scores.
DET
Duolingo English Test is an online test for non-native speakers.
Some pros about this online-based test are that you can take it whenever you decide, is affordable, and the results arrive within two days.
The only not-very-positive thing is that you aren't eligible to look anywhere else during the 1-hour exam.
Over 4,000 universities in the U.S. accept DET as your English proficiency demonstration.
When you choose your universities, pay attention to their language exam preferences. We highly recommend contacting your dream university, especially in the U.S. to determine which language exam is the best.
