IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is a standardised English test run by and managed by the Cambridge English Language Assessment, the British Council and IDP Australia. The test is taken in order to show proficiency in the English language in order to study abroad or for immigration purposes, such as to work.
It is a test designed to measure your ability in the four
skills of writing, speaking, reading and listening.
After the test you will be given a score from 1-9. You use this score for admission to
a university or to work abroad (institutions and employers decide what score they
require). It is accepted by many institutions and employers in the UK, Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa and North America and many more.
There are four sections in the IELTS test, but some parts vary depending on whether
you are taking the test to study abroad or work/live abroad.
There are two types of Modules in IELTS.
