All About IELTS

The International English Language Testing System or IELTS as it is more popularly known is the world’s most favoured English Language Proficiency test for further education and migration to a foreign country where English is the dominant language.

A vast suite of educational institutions, employers, governments and professional bodies trust and recognize IELTS as the preferred English proficiency examination for aspiring students, professionals and migration applicants.

The IELTS exam is structured and designed to test the proficiency of an applicant in the four skills of the English language – IELTS Reading, IELTS Writing, IELTS Speaking and IELTS Listening.

IELTS Listening: IELTS Listening lasts approximately 30 minutes. It is divided into four sections, each of which is played on cassette tape in increasing difficulty. Each section could be either a dialogue or a monologue. The test is only given once, and the questions for each section must be answered while listening, though students are given time to double-check their answers.

IELTS Reading: IELTS Reading exam lasts 60 minutes. Students are given either an Academic Reading or a General Training Reading test. Both tests are divided into three sections, with the sections increasing in complexity.

IELTS Writing: IELTS Writing is also 60 minutes long. Students can choose between an Academic Module and a General Training Module. Students must complete two writing assignments that require various writing styles. There are no options for question topics.

IELTS Speaking: IELTS Speaking exam is a one-on-one interview with a properly qualified examiner. The interview is taped and divided into three parts: an introduction and interview, an individual long turn in which the candidate speaks for one or two minutes on a specific topic, and a two-way conversation thematically related to the individual long turn. This interview will run between 11 and 14 minutes.

Scoring
All IELTS scores are between 0 to 9 band with the possibility of getting a .5 score in each skill. For example, a test taker could get a 6 band in speaking but a 6.5 band in reading.
Each skill is scored between 0 to 9 bands with an overall score in the same range. The overall band score is an average of the band scores of all four skills.

The IELTS exam has two variants:

• Academic IELTS
• General IELTS

Academic IELTS

The Academic IELTS exam is structured to test the level of English proficiency of the test taker applying for an Academic or professional training endeavor at an Institution in an English Speaking country. The test simulates the academic requirements of English and evaluates if the test taker is ready to proceed with the professional training or studies applied for.

General IELTS
The General IELTS exam is structured to test the English proficiency of the test taker in an everyday social and workplace context.

The test simulates the workplace and social requirements of English and evaluates if the test taker is ready to deal with the professional and social requirements in an English speaking country.

IELTS preparation begins with diagnostic tests to determine the candidate’s strengths and shortcomings. To properly comprehend the IELTS exam pattern, it should comprise IELTS practise papers, online courses, official study resources, IELTS books, and IELTS sample answers. IELTS preparation time is determined by the candidate’s proficiency level; on average, 2–3 months of preparation time is deemed enough. IELTS preparation can also be done at home with the right materials and study materials. Experts recommend taking an online IELTS exam for time management and real-world experience as part of your IELTS preparation.

If you choose self-study to prepare for your IELTS exam, you must study from the top IELTS books and resources that are widely available. Because you will be working alone, you should ensure that you are adequately prepared for the preparation step.
You might also choose to enrol in an IELTS preparation.
