Do you need an English test besides IELTS and TOEFL to study in the United States?

Many American universities require you to have enough English. This proficiency is usually proved by taking English language tests, such as SAT, ACT or TOEFL. Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of coronavirus, some of these tests have been greatly shelved.

It is worth noting that some original test providers have now launched special home English language tests.
