Test rules at MU-Varna
The page lists TOEFL iBT as the computer-based test and does not mention the Home Edition, MyBest scores or a validity period. Citizens of the UK, Ireland, the USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and applicants who finished secondary school there, need no English certificate or test, but must submit a school-leaving diploma from one of those countries with the minimum English grade the page sets.
TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. The page above gives only 0 to 120 figures, so that is what this guide reports.
On the same page, IELTS Academic is 6.5 overall.
