You can, but it’s a steep, lonely climb. Departments accepting XE or XL scores are niche, and competing with core-branch candidates on their turf is a brutal disadvantage. I sat for XE to stay 'close enough' to my engineering field, and now my application forms gather dust while my night-shift pays my sister's fees. That regret is the specific fatigue of a plan that looks clever on paper but forgets the human cost.
