The good score in IELTS exam depends on the purpose of writing the test.

The Reading and Writing sections are for 60 minutes each. The Speaking test takes about 11 to 14 minutes and is conducted like an interview by an examiner who assesses candidates on fluency, coherence, grammar, accuracy, and pronunciation. The examiner generally conducts the Speaking test in 3 parts and records the entire conversation.

For taking the IELTS exam, your minimum age should be atleast 16 years and you must have a valid passport.

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:

• Start your preparation early, be consistent, and monitor your progress frequently.
• Practice using your English skills in four ways-listening, speaking, reading and writing.
• Take every opportunity to communicate in English, orally and in writing.
• Take guidance from a professional instructor and also seek feedback on your areas of improvement.
• Towards the end of your IELTS preparation, start practicing with full-length tests under realistic condition for several weeks before the test date.

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.
