✏️ Colleges require international students to demonstrate English proficiency. Students have an option to take between TOEFL iBT or Duolingo. Although some colleges say TOEFL can be waived if the student has received education where English is the primary language of instruction for the past 3-4 years, it is still safe to submit a TOEFL or Duolingo score. Some schools only accept Duolingo IF TOEFL/IELTS is not available in the country, so the student needs to double check the requirements.
