If your Duolingo score is below Troy's level

The help desk article says students can obtain conditional admission without the listed test scores. They must then take an ESL placement test and pass its requirements before starting academic programmes.

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