Test rules and how to send your score
The page lists PTE without naming the online or Core versions, a validity period or a Pearson institution code. It asks applicants to submit an online application before sending admissions documents.
In the same table, IELTS is 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduates, so PTE 48 and 53 are the PTE routes to those levels. Duolingo is 105 and 110, and EIKEN Pre-1 is accepted for undergraduates only.

If you fall short
Conditional admission is for bachelor's degrees only. You enrol at Oxford International - New York, get your acceptance letter and I-20 there, apply to Mercy and receive a conditional acceptance. The page says completing the ESL courses meets the English requirement without a retake, though it names only TOEFL, IELTS and Duolingo when describing who qualifies.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Mercy programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
