Introduction to IELTS Exam

IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. For more than 40 years IELTS has set the standard for English language testing to help people achieve their professional, personal, and academic ambitions. This system is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP IELTS, and Cambridge University Press & Assessment. IELTS is the most popular English proficiency test among non-native English speakers who want to study, work, or migrate to English-speaking countries. The two main IELTS tests available are: IELTS Academic IELTS General Training The right test for you will depend on whether your main goal is to study or to work in your chosen country. In IELTS, there are FOUR PAPERS: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. There are four parts of the IELTS test: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Candidates appearing for both Academic and General Training tests take the same speaking and listening tests but different reading and writing tests. The IELTS Academic test is for students who want to pursue higher education at overseas universities where English is the primary language while the IELTS General Training test is for those who want to apply to study below degree level or for work purposes. It can also be taken up for work purposes or other employment training. The listening, Reading, and Writing sections of all IELTS tests are completed on the same day while the speaking section can be completed up to a week before or after the other sections. IELTS Academic If you are planning to study in an English-speaking country, it's likely that the IELTS Academic test is the right choice for you. The test assesses if you are ready to begin studying in English. It features vocabulary that is familiar within an academic setting. The IELTS academic test is supposed to be more difficult than the IELTS General Training test. IELTS General Training The IELTS General Training test is suitable for those wishing to migrate to an English-speaking country (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK), and for those wishing to train or study at below degree level. The test assesses everyday English language skills that you will need in social situations and in workplace environments.
