 How do standardized tests factor into admissions decisions such as the TOE full test, IELTS, SAT, ACT? How do you evaluate those as part of the whole admissions application? For Catholic University they are required and some universities are test optional but a lot of times for international students yet to demonstrate some sort of English proficiency which is often done through a standardized test. So the TOE full IELTS, ACT or ACT can satisfy that in terms of demonstrating the English proficiency and a lot of times those are also used in scholarship determination as well. So as an international student I would absolutely recommend taking one of those tests because for them for most universities and colleges you'll have to submit scores from them. Great advice. Thank you.
