(1) You can take the language test within the school.
Some foreign universities have their own internal language tests, which can often replace the current IELTS or TOEFL tests. For example, Warwick English Language Test (WELT) and Oxford Entrance English Test (OPT) in Britain are authoritative English language tests. However, it should be noted that colleges and universities may not recognize such examinations. Students who have no time to take IELTS or TOEFL can adopt this method.
(2) Learning a language abroad
If your language performance can't meet the requirements and you are eager to study abroad, you can choose to study abroad first. For example, the Australian 570 visa does not require IELTS scores, and you can apply for a 50-week language course. However, it should be reminded that the cost of language courses in foreign universities is high, and the proportion of visa refusal is also high. Ireland, like New Zealand, can take part in language learning after entering school, and then enter professional courses after passing the ability test.
(C) the age of studying abroad is low
Under the age of 16, you don't need to provide IELTS or other English scores to apply for foreign high school courses. If you want to continue to pursue undergraduate or master's courses in foreign institutions after graduating from high school, it depends on the specific requirements of foreign institutions. Some schools require IELTS scores to be tested again, and some schools can take the internal test.
The above provides three ways to study abroad without taking IELTS, but they are not stable. Therefore, for the sake of safety insurance, it is recommended to take IELTS. It is much easier to study abroad with IELTS scores. For more information, you can have a detailed understanding and inquiry in the study abroad information.
