I got less in IELTS reading 5.0 but overall score is 6.0. If I take OSR will US universities accept my IELTS score?

The choice between IELTS Pen and Paper or CD-IELTS significantly impacts your testing experience. If you take the CD-IELTS, you will be able to access the Online Score Report (OSR).

Regarding your IELTS score, U.S. universities typically do not accept an overall score of 6.0. While this score may be viewed as adequate by some institutions, most U.S. universities require higher proficiency levels.

It’s important to note that universities will consider all your scores. They have access to your entire test history, including all attempts and individual section scores. If your overall score improves from 6.0 to 7.0 after utilizing the OSR, it’s possible that U.S. universities will accept your scores.
