Been looking into colleges outside India n there’s so many tests like SAT, IELTS, TOEFL, ACT etc. 
which one should i even be focusing on?? anyone here already gone through this?
Depends where u wanna go tbh. Like for US, SAT or ACT is common, but if ur lookin at UK or Europe, they don’t even need SAT. They mostly care abt IELTS or TOEFL for English proof. I did IELTS first cz it works for a lot of places.
I was confused toooo😭 but here’s what helped – shortlist unis first, check their sites for requirements. like some need SAT, some don’t. english test is always needed tho, so just pick one (IELTS or TOEFL). i took TOEFL cz it felt more tech-y n suited me lol.
If you’re planning to study abroad, the right test depends on the country and program you choose. For example, IELTS is widely accepted in countries like Germany, UK, Canada, and Australia, especially for English-taught programs. Some universities in the US or top research programs may also require GRE or SAT/ACT (for undergrad). So, first finalize your target country and course, then you’ll know exactly which test(s) to focus on.
