Should I take the TOEFL/IELTS?

[gowthamgutha]

<p>I am an International student from India. English is not my native language yet it is the medium in which i am taught (in all years of my high school).</p>

<p>Some colleges (like the Princeton University) stated that "The student must take the TOEFL/IELTS if he/she is not a native English speaker and the medium that he/she was taught isn't English"</p>

<p>I don't understand. For me, the last condition is true, but the first condition isn't.</p>

<p>Kindly, reply me.</p>

<p>No, you don’t have to take it.</p>

<p>Have you attended an English-medium secondary school for at least three years?

<p>

If English is not your native language, and you are attending a school where English is not the language of instruction, you ** must take ** the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in addition to the SAT or ACT, as well as SAT Subject Tests. You should instruct the testing agency to report your scores to Princeton. Students who have attended an English-medium secondary school for at least three years are not required to submit TOEFL results.
