What Duolingo score do you need for Saint Louis University Madrid?

The page asks all applicants, even those with English as a first language, to demonstrate proficiency unless they meet one of the listed placement routes, such as ACT English 21, SAT ERW 550 or four years of a U.S. or U.K. secondary curriculum.

At direct placement level you sit the SLU English Writing Placement Test, which places you in ENGL 1500, 1900 or 1920; if you do not take it you go into ENGL 1500. The page recommends the TOEFL as closest to the U.S. English it prefers, but lists Duolingo as accepted. It does not state a validity period or Duolingo sending instructions.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.5 (6.0 in reading and writing) for direct placement and 6.0 (5.0 in reading and writing) for the Bridge Program.

From 100 you can still enter through the One-semester Bridge Program, which charges the full-time undergraduate tuition rate and applies merit scholarships. SLU Madrid also runs its own TOEFL ITP just before each semester so new students can check whether they can enter ENGL 1500 or are correctly placed in the Bridge Program.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your SLU Madrid programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
