TUMS accepts both the TOEFL and IELTS Academic English language scores. Clearly, only one would be enough. TOEFL is the most widely accepted English language test, and IELTS Academic is the International English Language Testing System that measures the ability to communicate in English across language skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking). Similar to most schools around the world, we interpret the scores as follows:
