Which IELTS test to practice
For undergraduate admission to the University of Southern California (USC), practice IELTS Academic. USC accepts IELTS and IELTS Indicator. Every applicant whose native language is not English must submit a score, and USC grants no waivers or exceptions. Academic Reading draws its passages from journals and books, and Academic Writing Task 1 describes a chart, table or diagram.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| International undergraduate applicants, USC Office of Admission | 7, recommended minimum | No section minimum |
| USC graduate and professional schools | Higher, set by each school | Set by each school |
USC calls 7 a recommended minimum. Admitted students score significantly higher, at an average TOEFL iBT above 111.
