AUCA, which teaches in English, accepts its own admissions exam, TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo as proof of English, and asks for scores before the application deadline. Send IELTS results to institution code 8306 for undergraduate or 8305 for graduate programmes. Its English proficiency page does not list PTE or a minimum band.
Toronto does not accept IELTS One Skill Retake and wants every score from a single test date; it accepts IELTS Online. UNSW accepts One Skill Retake but not IELTS Online. Bristol accepts One Skill Retake and counts tests taken no more than two years before the course starts. Note how the PTE bar moves: Bristol asks 67 for the same profile that is IELTS 6.5.
