Hey guys! I am from Asia but I study in the Middle East. I am applying to Andover, Exeter, Concord, Milton, Groton, and Hotchkiss. I was just wondering if I need to take the TOEFL. My mother tongue is English and the primary language in my school is English. Should I take it or not?
Sorry for being kind of vague, I don’t want to leak all my info online.
If none of the schools require an English proficiency test from you, don’t take. If any do, take.
I would think you would be best to ask each school what they will require you to do. No one here is going to know your specifics especially if you don’t want to tell us everything, and only the school can say yeh or nay as to the test requirement based on your information. Some schools may require it and in that case it isn’t a case “should” but “must”. If you do have to, my guess is you will score perfectly fine on it. However, seeing as you have basically 15 days for many deadlines, 30 days for a few others, you will eat into that time as many of these offices aren’t going to be back in for 4-10 more days due to the holiday! You may be better off just taking it (some schools I thought will take Duolingo?) so that you can have the score in time to submit if you in fact do need it.
I just received the emails from all of the schools. For some of the schools I have to take it, but I might as well just do the Duolingo one because it’s faster and more time efficient. Thank you so much for your advice.
