If your TOEFL score falls short
The policies do not describe a conditional offer or pre-sessional route for applicants below the minimum. They list exemptions instead, such as being a native speaker or having studied in English, so check whether one applies before you book a test.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your IE University programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
