Hello,
I have applied to King's College and received a conditional offer (36 IB points + 6 in A1 English SL).
As I understand, 6 in Eng. is a standard language entry requirement for my degree.
However, I am interested whether it would be possible to confirm my level of proficiency in English by taking TOELF/IELTS instead? (i.e. does it still mean that I fail to meet the conditions of my offer, if I get for example 36-43 points in IB with 5 in English and100+ in TOEFL?)
(The problem is that TOELF/IELTS test mainly language skills, i.e. grammar, vocabulary etc. In contrast, IB Eng. focuses on literature and one's ability to understand and interpret it, which is much more difficult for me as I am an international student. Therefore, I would prefer to prove that I understand English sometimes by taking a normal grammar text rather than by making up crazy stories about the symbolic significance of the dialogues in "Homecoming" or about the importance of semantic generation in Pinter's plays.)
Thank you for your answers in advance.
