Which IELTS test to practice
For undergraduate admission to American University, practice IELTS Academic. The admissions pages name only “IELTS”, not a module. AU accepts only official scores sent from the testing agency; you cannot self-report. First-year applicants can instead show four years of study taught only in English, with no ESL courses; transfer applicants, two English college-composition courses with a “C” or higher. Native English speakers from the countries AU lists who give English as their first language on the Common Application need no proof, but AU may ask for it.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate first-year applicants, minimum | 6.5 |
| Undergraduate transfer applicants, minimum | 6.5 |
Meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission. No band is set for each skill.
