IELTS Coaching

IELTS can be taken as many times as one pleases. There is no limit to the number of IELTS tests that one can take. However, you will need to pay the test fees for each attempt that you take.

A good score for IELTS depends on the purpose of the test.

IELTS is generally taken for immigration or to study overseas.

If you have taken the IELTS test for immigration, then a good score depends on the country and the visa category that you have applied for.

For example, if you are applying for an Australian PR, you need to score at least a 6 on each module (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking) to be eligible. However, a 6 on each module does not earn you any points for English proficiency. A score of 7 on each module gets you 10 points while a score of 8 on each module gets you 20 points which are the maximum.

If you are applying for studying overseas, then you should get a score as per the country and the University that you are applying for. Most Universities abroad require you to have an overall score of 6 or 6.5 to be eligible to apply.

The IELTS test fees is Rs. 13,250.

The fees are the same for both the Computer –based and the Paper-based IELTS (Academic or General Training) test.

There are 4 modules in the IELTS test: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Each module has its own time limit. The Listening module is usually about 30 minutes long. The Reading and Writing sections take about 1 hour each. The IELTS Speaking module involves an interview with the IELTS Examiner. Thus, the Speaking section takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

To be eligible to take the IELTS test:

• You should have a valid passport
• Children who are under 16 are not advised to take the IELTS test. However, they may take the test if necessary.

Getting a good score in the IELTS exam depends on the purpose of taking it. Suppose you are taking the test for immigration, then a good score depends on the country or visa category you have applied for. For instance, if you are applying for a PR in Australia you must score at least 6 bands in each module to be eligible to apply. Based on the score you get your points in your application. A score of 7 gives you only 10 points while a score of 8 on each module gets you 20 points.

 If you have given the IELTS exam to study for a course overseas, then you should get a score that is acceptable to the country or university you are applying for. Most universities require a minimum score of 6 to 6.5 for eligibility to apply for a course.

  Some general tips to get a good score are:

• Do some practice tests under exam conditions
• Check and recheck your answers
• Proofread your writing tasks
• Provide enough time for review especially in the reading and writing sections

There is no passing score for IELTS.

People often tend to say that they have “failed” the IELTS test if they do not get the desired score. However, there is no passing or failing in IELTS. Your required score depends on the purpose (immigration, study overseas etc.), country and the visa category that you are applying for.
