The three accepted English tests are built on similar guidelines and measure the candidates’ English abilities in the various forms of communication. Often candidates are confused regarding which exam to give for which course to study abroad. It is always advisable for students to check with the university admission guidelines to see the accepted tests and zero in on the same. Often universities/colleges would be accepting scores of various tests and students can then have the liberty to choose the one that is most convenient to them.

Candidates should keep in mind that though the tests are built on similar lines, however, it would be wrong to directly convert scores of one exam with another. Different tests adopt distinctive methods of evaluation.
