In this episode of the TOEFL Speaking Prep Podcast, we explore new research by McGehee and Isbell on how well popular English proficiency tests like TOEFL, IELTS, and the Duolingo English Test (DET) predict academic success at a large public university—specifically the University of Hawaii at Manoa. We dive into their findings on first-year GPA correlations, discuss surprising contrasts between undergraduate and graduate performance, and uncover the strengths and limitations of each test.

Join us for a deep dive into the factors that might make or break academic success in paradise, from test scores to cultural readiness.

What’s the real measure of a student's preparedness for university life?
