If your TOEFL score is below Troy's level

Students can be admitted conditionally without the listed test scores. They must then take the ESL placement test and meet its requirements before entering academic programmes. Troy's ESL programme teaches reading, writing, grammar, and listening and speaking at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels.

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.
