I reckon they're extremely strict when it comes to results below the required margin. They should have a dedicated FAQ section on their website for your question I suppose.

I'm afraid Mombastic is right. I don't think they consider your English test score as one of the many elements in evaluating your application, but rather, as a prerequisite to even look at your application in the first place.

When I looked through the old threads about Cambridge, it was said that some people got a conditional offer who didn't have the necessary points. So it seems that in the past it wasn't always an absolute reason for exclusion if one didn't have enough points.

I have the same problem. Even though I scored 111, my score in the Speaking section was 23/30, which is below the requirement Cambridge sets (25/30). I hope they accept it though.

Yep, but was it conditioned on having a higher linguistic test though?

What about Oxford and LSE? I am an applicant with IELTS 6.5 score!
I applied to LSE just with my TOEFL score (104) and I got a conditional offer, by means of which I have to reach the required score.

Oxford requires 7.5. Can't recall about LSE - check Google.

Thank you all for your comments! I already got a conditional offer from QMUL; for the rest, fingers crossed! With regard to LSE, they ask 109, just one point below Cambridge. Cheers!

Does anyone know if it is ok that I have an overall TOEFL score of 110 but 23/30 on speaking? Will I have issues concerning my applications or they are lenient on this regard?

From what I know, it depends. Some universities only have a minimum overall requirement whereas other specifically set minimum thresholds for each section. You should check with each university,
