The International English Language Testing System
(IELTS) is a test of English language proficiency, developed by the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate. IELTS is now accepted as evidence of a prospective student’s level of English by most universities in English-speaking countries.
There are two different IELTS tests that you can do:
Academic and General. If you are interested in studying at a university in an English-speaking country you will need to take the academic version of IELTS. IELTS is not a test that you can pass or fail. Your assessment will be reported according to a scale from bands one to nine. You will need to contact the university you wish to enter to find out the IELTS score they require for entry into your chosen course. Band one indicates that you have virtually no English at all. Band nine is considered native speaker proficiency. Universities in countries like the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia typically require a band score of between 6 and 7.
The test covers 4 linguistic skills: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
IELTS is the International English Language Testing System.
It measures the ability to communicate in English across all four language skills – listening, reading, writing, and speaking – for people who intend to study or work where English is the language of communication.
Since 1989, IELTS has been proven and trusted worldwide to provide a secure, global, authentic, and customer-focused test that measures true to life ability to communicate in English. More than 6,000 education institutions, faculties, government agencies, and professional organizations around the world recognize IELTS scores as a trusted and valid indicator of ability to communicate in English.
Over 1,000,000 people a year are now using IELTS to open doors throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. The test is taken every year across 120 countries, is one of the fastest-growing English language tests in the world, and sets the standard in integrity, research and innovation.
