If your score is lower
Undergraduates can also meet the requirement by completing the highest level of the Center for English as a Second Language (CESL) for programme endorsement, or with the CEPT Full Academic test at 110. The Graduate College page describes conditional admission, but it does not accept Duolingo for English proficiency.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Arizona programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
