Should I wait until I get my ideal IELTS score before submitting my application?

This question varies from person to person. Everyone makes a decision after considering their own situation, mainly considering their own test preparation progress, test plan, English basics, target IELTS score, and applying for school majors. If in September or October, most schools in the UK start to apply, and the English level is excellent, but there is no registration or test yet, you might as well wait and submit a decent IELTS score as soon as possible.

If the current IELTS level is poor, it is recommended to submit the application decisively instead of waiting for IELTS. At the same time race against time to prepare for the IELTS test.

Which schools must provide IELTS scores when applying?

To apply for these 5 universities, especially popular majors, it is strongly recommended to submit with qualified IELTS to improve the competitiveness of the application and increase the chances of getting an offer.
