Does this mean I will be accepted?

No. Meeting the English score is one requirement out of many. Universities also look at your grades, your course choice, and the rest of your application.

Where do these scores come from?

Each score is taken from the university's own admissions pages. We only publish a score after we confirm it there, so some universities that accept the test are not listed yet.

Can a course ask for more than the university does?

Yes. The score here is the lowest one the university publishes. Individual courses often ask for more, so check the page for your course before you apply.
