Standardized Tests

Visit the PharmCAS School Directory to read the standardized test requirements for your designated programs. Select the type of test and the date it was taken or will be taken on your PharmCAS application if your designated programs require the test for admission. We cannot forward your scores to any programs or individuals outside of PharmCAS.

You can self-report your standardized test scores and planned test dates in this section. Some of the programs you apply to may require you to report specific test scores. Be sure to check with your programs to ensure you’re completing all requirements. If you have taken a test, official test scores are generally required in additional to any self-reported scores on the application. Once you submit your application, you cannot edit previously entered tests marked as “taken,” but you can add new tests planned or completed. 

Test of English As A Foreign Language (TOEFL)

Use TOEFL PharmCAS Code 8246

If English is not your first (primary) language, your designated programs may require you to submit official TOEFL scores to code 8246 by the application deadline. Please visit the PharmCAS School Directory for program requirements.

Enter your TOEFL scores in the spaces provided. If you have taken the TOEFL multiple times, enter your scores for each date separately. Also enter any planned TOEFL test dates. Do not mix and match scores from different dates. If your name and date of birth on the application do not match your TOEFL record, your scores cannot be posted to your application.  

It takes approximately 10-12 business days from the date you make the request for the TOEFL score to post to your application. PharmCAS does not hold applications for missing TOEFL scores, but programs may not consider affected applicants if they are missing or late.


International English Language Testing System (IELTS)

Official IELTS scores are submitted electronically to PharmCAS directly from IELTS (run by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English). Paper copies are not accepted.

Official IELTS scores can be received by PharmCAS at any point during the application cycle, even after your application is submitted; however, some programs may have a deadline by which they want your scores posted. Once your official IELTS scores are attached to your application, they cannot be removed.

To submit official IELTS scores to PharmCAS, you must self-report your IELTS scores in the Standardized Tests section of the application and include your TRF number. This must be listed for your official scores to be matched to your application. Learn more here
