IELTS

IELTS Test: Overview

IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is a globally accepted examination that assesses the English language proficiency of individuals seeking academic or immigration opportunities in English-speaking countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
The test is available in two formats: paper-based and computer-based, and there are 48 test dates available throughout the year.

In the paper-based format, the test-takers are required to sit at a desk for the Reading, Listening, and Writing tests at an authorized examination center. They can respond to the questions in either pen or pencil. Meanwhile, the Speaking test is conducted face-to-face with an examiner.

On the other hand, in the computer-based format, the Reading, Listening, and Writing tests are taken on a computer, with the questions displayed on the screen at an official examination center. After completion of the test, the test-takers submit their responses online. The Speaking test is conducted face-to-face with a trained examiner in a separate room, either on the same day or a different day.

Test takers can choose between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training, depending on their academic or professional aspirations, or visa requirements.

The difference between the two tests is that the Reading and Writing sections of IELTS Academic have subject matter and tasks suitable for test takers entering undergraduate or postgraduate studies. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same.
