    IELTS

    The International English Language Testing System


    (IELTS)
    a test for people whose first language is not English that shows
    how good their English is. The test is taken by people who want
    to study, work, or live in an English-speaking country. People
    who take the test do not have to get a certain score in order
    to pass it. Instead, they are given a grade from 0 to 9.
    It is jointly managed by the British Council, IDP: IELTS
    Australia and Cambridge Assessment English and was
    established in 1989.
    IELTS is accepted by
    most Australian, British, Canadian, European, Irish and New
    Zealand academic institutions, by over 3,000 academic
    institutions in the United States, and by various professional
    organisations across the world.
    IELTS is the only Secure English Language Test approved
    by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) for visa customers
    applying both outside and inside the UK. It also meets
    requirements for immigration to Australia, where Test of English
    as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Pearson Test of English
    Academic are also accepted,[7] and New Zealand. In Canada,
    IELTS, TEF, or CELPIP are accepted by the immigration
    authority. It’s only valid for 2 years. In 2017, over 3 million tests
    were taken in more than 140 countries.
    IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training are designed to
    cover the full range of abilities from non-user to expert user.
    The Academic version is for test takers who want to study at
    the tertiary level in an English-speaking country or seek
    professional registration. The General Training version is for
    test takers who want to work, train, study at a secondary school
    or migrate to an English-speaking country.
    IELTS Academic and General Training both incorporate the
    following features:

     IELTS tests the ability to listen, read, write and speak in


    English.
     The speaking module is a key component of IELTS. It is
    conducted in the form of a one-to-one interview with an
    examiner. The examiner assesses the test taker as he or
    she is speaking. The speaking session is also recorded for
    monitoring and for re-marking in case of an appeal against
    the score given.
     A variety of accents and writing styles have been presented
    in test materials in order to minimize linguistic bias. The
    accents in the listening section are generally
    80% British, Australian, New Zealander and 20% others
    (mostly American).
     IELTS is developed by experts at Cambridge English
    Language Assessment with input from item writers from
    around the world. Teams are located in the US, UK,
    Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other English-
    speaking nations.
     Band scores are used for each language sub-skill (Listening,
    Reading, Writing, and Speaking). The Band Scale ranges
    from 0 ("Did not attempt the test") to 9 ("Expert User").

    The four parts of the IELTS test[edit]

     Listening: 30 minutes (plus 10 minutes' transfer time)[15]


     Reading: 60 minutes
     Writing: 60 minutes
     Speaking: 11–14 minutes
    The test total time is: 2 hours and 45 minutes.
