The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular English language proficiency test for higher education and global migration.
More than 11,500 organizations globally trust IELTS, so when you take the test, you can be confident that it is recognized by educational institutions, employers, governments, and professional bodies around the world.
You’ll be assessed on your Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
There are two IELTS tests available:
The IELTS Listening test is divided into four sections, with 10 questions in each section. The test takes around 30 minutes to complete, with each section getting increasingly more difficult. You will have 10 minutes at the end of the listening test to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
The Speaking test takes between 11 and 14 minutes and consists of an interview between the test taker and a trained and certified examiner. It is divided into three parts:
The IELTS writing test module varies depending on whether you are doing the Academic Test (for university applications) or the General Test (usually for work/general migration).
Task 2 (essay) is worth more marks than Task 1 (graph or letter), so it’s recommended to spend 40 minutes on the essay and 20 minutes on the graph/letter.
The test consists of 40 questions designed to test a wide range of reading skills, including reading for gist, main ideas, detail, skimming, and recognizing writers’ opinions. You have 60 minutes to answer all questions, so managing your time is crucial.
You will encounter similar question types in both the IELTS General Training and Academic tests; however, the reading text topics differ.
